A Farm for Unemployed.
From the Chicago Record Herald


Prof. Charles r. Henderson and Mall
colin Mcdowell have proposed that a mu-
nnicipal farm be established near Chicago
on the lands owned by the sanitary dis
trict for the relief of the unemployed
The commission on the unemployed has
Dowell, to report on the project after in
yestigating municipal farms in other
places and comforting with the sanitary
district trustees.
A municipal farm, properly managed,
ought to be valuable in many ways 1t
should provide place where all the
homeless and jobless could find temper
airy work and shelter: IT should also be a
school in practical agriculture, from
which many men could go out into the
world prepared to earn living. since the
call for farm workers is loud nowadays.
1t could be run in connection with the
house of correction as an expansion OF
that Institutions farm, and employment
given to TRUSTEES or those serving light
sentences. Perhaps it could be made
products for city institutions.
Since the number of the unemployed
in Chicago is greatest in winter. the
greatest problem in maintaining such
farm would be to provide winter work
for all applicants, and 1T might be found
desirable to add other work but the farm
needs would form the nucleus of an in
ustrial colony from which great and
permanent benefits should come. The
sanitary district owns an abundance of
good land along the drainage canal: its
trustees should cooperate in every way
possible in the carrying out of SO excel
lent plan.

His experiments We're eminently sue
ceSSful. Placing the instrument the

stronger or weaker the phonendoscope
was moved in various direc ions, the con-
clusion being unavoidable that the sound
was loudest when IL was directly above
the underground current supplying the
spring Tests were then made on an iso-
lated peak where II was extremely i'm
probabl that wafer would be found. As
expected, no sound was heard.
Lastly the crucial experiment was made
of seeking to locate by this means a sub
terranean current in the neighborhood of
a new house, whose owners wished TO
avoid the expense and delay OF sinking
trial well shafts. The phonendoscope
quickly revealed the presence of water
and the most favorable spot for digging.
"A shaft was sunk and layer of moist
earth was encountered fifteen feet below
the surface, while at depth OF thirty
two feet the current was found in bed
OF gravel"
Another use that suggests itself IS in
mines, where IL Is frequently of impor-
lance to know the presence and trend of
water courses before cutting across them
Possibly too ii may be found useful in
detecting the dull rumblings due to i'm
prisoned gases in the vicinity of yolca-
noes thus giving warning of impending
erLptions

ending in ordinary pieces and COW

There is no doubt OF 1t. this age is
rather world-weary. We have SO much
and SO little.
We have enormously increased the
means of life; the trouble is we have
lost interest in life itself.
The middle ages were poorer~and
richer. They were ignorant. stupid, su-
perstitious, cruel They were cold and
hungry. Their houses were windowless.
Their streets were sewers. Their cities
We're pest centers.
But they believed in life. In their
creeds they piled life on life, in the de-
scending circles of the inferno, in the
rising spiral OF purgatory, In the stellar
sweeps of paradise. They could not in
as man could cease.
And, to them. better everlasting pun
ishment than that this vital spark be
blown out like brief candle.
In modern literature we notice a con-
slant recurrence of the tired note.

Weight of Shrinking World.
the Literary Digest

From the Literary Digest
That objects Oh the earth's surface
weigh half as much again as they did
before mans appearance on the globe Is
asserted by a German geologist, DR..
Bruno Muller. This is due. he says, to
the shrinkage Of the sphere in cooling,
which has brought everything on It's sur
face nearer to the center of attraction.
Says Cosmos, in an article on the sub
ect.
THE earth is cooling globe: as it
cools ii contracts. On the other hand, 1t
is isolated in space, and its mass remains
invariable. The attraction OF spherical
globe manifests itself at the surface and
on the exterior, as IL the whole mass of
the globe were concentrated at its center.
Consequently, as the radius OF the earth
shortens. objects situated at Its surface,
as they approach the center OF attraction,
increase in weight. More exactly, the
to the square Of the radius: il the radius
diminishes by fifth of its value 1t may
be seen that the weight increases and
becomes 1.J6 times what 1t was at the
outset (5a:is-1.56).
"Dr Bruno Muller has been inquiring
what influence such an increase Of weight
has been able to exert on the earths his
tory. and has taken up successfully the
geophysical, geological, and paleOntologi-
cal sides of the problem. Ciel ct Terre
MARCH sives an abstract of his first
point of View.
"Supposing, then. that the earth, since
the far-off epoch when ii had yet no
living organism upon it. had shrunk by
one-f fifth Of it's radius. Such hypothesis
is not too great, since it is imagined by
biologists who suppose the crust to have
been bent into folds before the formation
of valleys and mountains. 1t must be
remembered that many ancient mountain
chains, as high as the Alps or the
Pyrenees, have been RACED to the present
level of the oceans We may draw the
conclusion, then. that weight has in
creased by half Of its former value.
1.-The atmosphere, supposing that its
mass and composition have not varied,
has thus been increasing in weight
throughout the geologic epochs. it's press
ure at the earths surface has thus grown
very considerably, for the present atmos-
phere presses on a terrestrial surface less
extended than formerly. But II Is prob
able that the above hypothesis of the
constancy of the mass and composition of
the atmosphere does not represent the
facts: we know that enormous masses of
carbonic acid and other gases have been
taken up from the atmosphere by marine
organisms to form calcareous rocks (car-
Donate Of lime). and by the plants of the
carboniferous era which constitute the
bulk of our coal.
