URGES VALUE
 TO THE VOTE
MAX EASTMAN DECLARES WO- MEN HAVE RIGHT TO FULL DEVELOPMENT-C
 SOME IDEAS.

Society, piqued with curiosity and gayly gowned, a preponderance of suf- frage enthusiasts but many oppon- ents of votes for women, made up the audience which filled the New Haven Hyperion last night to hear Max East man talk on the suffrage subject. Mrs. Henry Wade Rogers also spoke.
 Between times, when the audience got time enough to lend its ear to the entreaties of pretty ushers, hundreds of petitions were signed by pro suf- fragists. These names will constitute vast document to be presented to the state legislature when it meets in January.
 Mr Eastman deviated somewhat guments, when he said that women did not want the vote to purify polI-
 ties, for nobody ever expects them to cleanse political conditions
 The main significance of suffrage he
 characterized not political but
 economic. He argued that it is not a ities, but whether politics will helr
 women Men, said he, never men toned the effect of their efforts upon politics when seeking the suffrage. Women have right to development along their own lines, and we propose to have that right certified; disturbed that women have not turn ed Colorado into kingdom of heav- en. A democarcy Is not heaven, but a place where every mans chance Is guaranteed, and women. as part of that democracy, should have their rights guaranteed them.
 Professor Eastman enumerated four economic values of citizenship, which should be conferred upon all partict- pants in a free democracy. Citizenship, first, he claimed, is stimulus to the human spirit. It's con ferring upon women would give her greater self respect.
 Citizenship will aid education.
 Suffrage. he insisted, would benefit the man, for 1t is bad for any man to regard himself as the constant pur- veyor of privilege to a supposedly In. ferior sex
 s.suffrage's greatest advantage,'' he continued, twill be to the children o1 the future. It will produce women nj to rear children. No woman Is fit to bring child into the world who has not had the experience of the world and it's broadening teachings. The ba- bies of the world suffer much more from silly mothers than sour milk. Equality of politics will make equality of morals, and we shall hear less Of this double standard of morality. s4The ballot will in the third place confer a power upon women. In or der to get anything out of the leg1s- lature one must be a constituent of that legislature.
 s.Fourthly suffrage will guarantee equal opportunity to women In the struggle for making a living"

Professor Berget Declares Continents
 VIII be Overwhelmed.
 A treatiseaby Prof. A. Berget. of the recently established Institute of Oce- anography, Paris, giving the result of exhaustive researches and prophesying has attracted widespread attention, especially the authority of the pro- fession is undisputed in this particular field.
 Life and Death of the G1obe' treats not of the dream of a metaphysician n, but of problem, the solution of sphere of physics. M. Berget consid- CTS that as our globe possesses an in- dependent life, a careful study of the conditions of this life Is bound to re- way as physician prognosticates af- ter g. careful examination of pa tient. SUN AS AGENT OF DESTRUCTION.
 The first agent Of the earth's de- struction is the sun, and in this way: side immediately opposed to the rays of the sun alone Is affected. Hence, expansion of the mass being only par tial the molecules are disintegrated. d. Every day this expansion occurs and every night the corresponding con traction. In the end the rock craoks. It's surface becomes covered with rifts condensing on the higher regions, wa ter will soon begin to penetrate these Assures and freeze.S The rock will be rent aeunder, making the second stage of destruction. The fragments will fall from the summits to the valleys, where the watercourses Will carry them on a lower level, the fragments acting as destructive agents by TIC ton wherever they go.
 RIVERS AID IN THE PROCESS
 Action of the rivers in carrying away portions of their banks Is an other agent of destruction. In addi- tion large masses of earth will become impregnated with water and slide down into the valleys.
 The result-far off, but certa1n-of all these ceaseless processes, accord ing to Professor Berget, will be that after many centuries the continents will be 1eveled and the oceans. A11ed with the accumulation of their mate rials, will rise and oyerwheim them. n, The oceans themselves are factor In the work of destruction, attacking the coasts with their wave power of ten tons a square foot. The coast lines Of the globe total nearly 100000 miles, which will give some idea of the i'm destructive action of the sea.

HIS sYMPATHIES WITH ELK
Somewhat Natural, Since Animal Res
cued Engineer From Extremely
Awkward Position.

A curious story of adventure comes
from Montana. While a freight train
was lying over at small mountain
station, the engineer borrowed a shot
gun and started out for a short hunt.
Finding nothing, he was returning to
the train when COW came running at
him, and before he realized his dan
ger, she tossed him In the air.
Getting to his feet as quickly as
possible, ne lodged behind a tree,
and then, to his dismay, found that
the gun barrel was bent SO as to be
useless. The next ten minutes were
very lively ones, while the cow chased
the engineer round and round the
tree. Just when he was about to sue
cumb from fatigue, an angry snort was
heard, and a big elk appeared upon
the scene, head down and prepared
for fight.
SO was the cow, and In another mo-
ment the two animals dashed at each
ether. The engineer watched the CON-
bat for Few minutes, until prudence
suggested that he should make re-
treat as soon as he could. He re-
gained the train In safety, and never
know the outcome of the battle, but
he hopes the elk was the victor.

Washington, Pa, Aug. S.-When
Miss Maude Powell, a missionary OF
the Presbyterian church in China
reached Washington today, she learn
ed she had been mourned as dead and
that only a few weeks ago funeral
services in her memory had been held
IN a local church. 1t had been be-
lieved that Miss Powell was lost in
the Titanic disaster. She had intend
ed to cross on that ill l-starred vessel.
buc at the last minute she changed
her booking to another steamer.
Miss Powell, after deciding that
sh4 would come by another line, wrote
her friends here, but the letters never
arrived. Miss Powell credits her es-
cape from the Titanic disaster to her
chllGhood interest in Westminster
Abbey. All her life she says she had
been anxious to see that historic pile.
and when she did reach London she
could not tear herself away. It was
her desire to spend more time in the
Abbey that led her to change her
sailing date.
