Madero Promises Protection.

Francisco Madero. provisional pres
ident of the Mexican revolutionists.
has addressed a note to each OF the
foreign powers guaranteeing the per-
sons and property of foreigners in
Mexico. This information was re-
ceived by the confidential agency OF
the revolutionists with instructions
to deliver the notes, when they ar
rive. to the diplomatic representatives
of foreign countries accredited to the
United States at Washington. Juan
Sanchez AZcona, secretary of the con.
fidential agency. gave out the follow

munications will be delivered to the
diplomatic representatives OF all the
countries aeotedHed to the United
States through the confidential agen-
cy in Washington. These documents
are expected to reach Washington
next Tuesday.
agents of the revolutionary party
in San Antonio, Texas. also telegraph
ed the confidential agency in Wash
ington that they have just received
letters dated March s, in which sym
pathizers in Mexico City with the
revolutionary movement attribute the
mobilization of the American troops
to the secret intrigues of the govern
ment of Diaz. It is said in Mexico
City that the threat of interventi IN
by the United States was influenced
by Wall street and that Diaz had
hopes that he would be able, by tie
threat of the possibility of a foreign
war, to unity national sentiment In
favor of his government The con
trary has been the result and the
people now are accusing Diaz OF
treason and an uprising in the capita
seems imminent"

Consular Pact With Japan.

In view Of the fact that the United
States senate failed 10 remove formal
ly the seal of secrecy from the new
treaty of commerce and navigation
between the United States and Japan,
which was ratified on February "a.
the state department unofficially made
the convention public.
The treaty previously has been pub
lished and the only new feature in
connection with il made known today
was an announcement that the United
States and Japan shortly will nego-
tate consular treaty relating to the
privileges and duties of consular Of
ficers in the two countries. 1t is ex-
planned that this consular convention
will simply amplify the general pro
vision relating to consular officers con-
tanned in the treaty of commerce and
navigation by which their usual rights
and immunities are guaranteed.
The United States already has a
number of consular treaties with for
eign countries and the new consular
treaty with Japan will carry out, it is
said, the desire of this government to
negotiate such special convention COW
ering in detail all phases Of consular
relations.

OF strength and symmetry Send surg
ing through her a spirit elemental.
Fill her with love for the open air,
the high hills, the winding streams,
the storms that send snow and sleet
across the wastes. Make her yibrate

the crash of the thunder Let her

And when in Thy goodness Thou has
given this woman unto me, let me
ever find in her something elusive
something that shall ever keep me
searching joyously and with wonder.
Give me, God, a woman who Will de-
mand more of me than | have ever

help me liberate that creative energy
necessary for the naturalization OF
my dreams. II 1t be Thy will that

more than 1000 miles.
There will be series OF mimic en-
gagements between the combined sea

eral thousand men from the maneu-
vers camp at Fort Sam Houston. IL Is
claimed by the federal authorities oil
this district that mobilizing of these
10000 soldiers in Texas and distriD-
uting them along the border will serve
as an effective barrier against the
sending into Mexico OF stores of con
traband goods for use of the revolu-
tionists. II is we'll known that a well
organized plan of sending arms and
ammunition across the border from
isolated Texas points has been in ef-
feet for several weeks. 1t is expected
that this practice will now be quickly
broken up.

Earth IIlumines the Sky.

In studying the amount of light in
the sky on a starlit night a German
astronomer has reached the interest
ing conclusion that the luminosity, of
the sky is caused partly by direct
starlight and partly by some other
source OF light. This latter he pro-
poses to call earthlight, and he sug-
gests that 1t may be due to perma-
nent aurora attending the earth. The
light is variable not only on different
nights, but at different hours of the
same nights. He has found II to be
from seven to fifteen times the
amount of mean starlight, but II is
believed that this ratio is exceptional
and does not prevail everywhere.
Some observations indicate that the
light had its origin close to the sur
face of the earth. 1t has been sug.
gested that It may have similar
origin TO that of the light emitted by
the coma of a comet.

Sib Detroit Men Are Indicted.

Six prominent Detroit men and one
Chicagoan were indicted in Detroit by
a federal grand jury on the charge OF
conspiracy in connection with enter
Ing claims upon about $4,000 acres OF
coal lands near Homer, Alaska.
These are the men who are the most
active in the Michigan-Alaska develop
nent company, which the government
alleged was the principal agent
through which the alleged frauds were
committed. Arthur l.. Holmes is pres
ident OF the development company and
Mr.. Andrus is legal adviser.
Each of the indicted men is liable
to term in prison of not more than
five years and a fine not to exceed
100000 Immediate steps will be
taken by the government officials to
start criminal prosecutions in Detroit,
and il Is probable that all of them will
appear for trial at an early date.

Accommodating Meteor.

One of the most useful results from
the study Of sporadic meteors, or fire
balls, is the light they throw upon the
question of the height OF the atmos-
phere. since 1t is the friction of the
air that sets them on fire, and II their
elevation is known at the moment OF
their first appearance, the probable
height OF the atmosphere can be cal
culated. On August IL, 1909, bril-
liant meteor happened to impress It's
picture simultaneously on three photo
graphic plates, at Tashkend. Islander
and Tschimgan, In Russian Turkestan.
The distances between these places
furnished base-lines from which the
height could be deduced. The calcu-
lation, published in the Astrono-
mische Nachrichten Number 4447,
shows that the meteor first appeared
at height of GAS miles above the
earth, and disappeared, probably by
dissipation, at so miles.

ExhbrtIna TIE Ducks.

There are two Tiny boys in this town
whose mother sings often to them at
their request. and as she is an ardent
church woman, the children hear as
many hymns as anything else. The 9th
er day they were playing with their
wooden ducks in the bathtub, and
strangely enough the ducks we're more
inclined to float sideways than in the
approved manner. After several at
tempts to keep the misguided ducks
straight the older boy shouted:
stand up, duck, stand up" Then
two-year-old. noting the familiar
phrase, leaned over the tub and ex-
horted: "'Tand up. duck! 'Tand up
for Jesus"
