The shock was felt at dis tances of 67O and 200 miles in opposite directions from Yakutat bay, and the area of the region over which the tremblings were felt is more than t,5OO,OO0 square miles. This gives the Yakutat bay earthquake place among the very greatest earthquakes of his tOric times. The other great shocks, without exception, re- Sulted in heavy loss of life, the number of persons killed reaching in many of them the enormous to- tai of over 6O,OOO. The Yakutat bay shock was fortunately free from fatalities, not because it was less severe than the others, but on account of the sparscly settled character of the region in which it occurred.

RADIUM PLANT Tu BE
 ESTABLISHED AT DENVER

Scientists and capitalists of Flu rope who are interested in the development of radium are plan ming 10 establish in Denver an elaborate plant for the extraction of radium and other rare miner als from ores found in that re- zion. It has become known that four scientific men from France and England have made a tour of various deposits in this and nearby states and have undertak- cn to arrange with owners for control of the output in case the plant is erected.
 The larger portion of the pres cnt radium and vanadium supply of the world has come from Col nrado. Special efforts have been made by mining men in that reg ion i0 discover and develop such deposits. The Colorado School of Mines has paid especial attention to this field.
 The output heretofore has been sent to Liverpool to be treated, but those interested in that plant have thought that shipping the ore across the ocean was too ex- prnsive. They propose to erect a plant at Denver at an expense of $50,000. It will cost Si0O,000 a year 10 conduct it.. The scien- tiflc men who made a recent 1is- it came to sec if there were suffi- cient quantities of ore in sight to make such a plant pay.

ALASKA TREM0RS
 ARE STUDIED
Geological Survey Says Yakutat Quake Was One of Ten
 Great Ones

The United States Geological Survey has just published an ac- count of one of the ten greatest Earthquakes of historic times that in the Yakutat bay region of Alaska. Although there is no especial relation between earth !Guakes and volcanic eruptions, the recently reported earthquake at Fairbanks as well as the activity among Alaskan volcanoes gives perhaps added interest To this ac- count of natural phenomenon of another class.
 The Yakutat bay earthquake occurred on September 3, 1899, and was followed during the next three weeks by many less violent shocks. The area of greatest in density lay along the Hanks of the St. Elias range, in a region of high mountains and superb gla- cicrs, and the movement was ac- companicd by enormous avalan- chcs and rock slides. This is a vivid demonstration that the growth of mountains is still in progress. At some places, how ever, the land rose, and many points which before had lain be- low sea level were elevated above it. Barnaclrs which had lived in sea water were found l7 feet above sea level. The study of the effects of this earth movement Was undertaken by the late Ralph S. Tarr, of Cornell University, and Lawrence Martin, of the Univcr- Sity of Wisconsin, and their re- port of the work has just been published as Professional Paper G9 of the United States GeOlOgi- cal Survey, with a preface BY C.. K. Gilbert.
 In addition to making an cx- haustive study of the movements of the land which took place in the Yakutat bay region and of the eff fleets of the earthquake upon many of the glaciers of the reg ion, the writers amasscd a great fund of information in regard to

THE FEARLESS pYNAmIrERs.

The fate of the McNamaraS has
seemed TO put no check upon the use
Of dynamite for retaliatory purposes
by strikers, east OF west
There have been several cases Of
dynamiting in the far west since they
went to prison, and the presence of
some Of the men in Lawrence who
are suspected Of having had something
to do with such work at the west,
and the finding of enough dynamite
there in different parcels to destroy
half the mills. leaves no doubt that
the promoters of this sort Of criminal
work are unabashed and determined
to show the authorities they are not
afraid.
Certain speakers are encouraging
this work by declaring the McNamaras
have sacrificed their good name and
their liberty to promote a noble cause
and we are inclined to think every
public speaker who in any manner at
tempts to condone the atrocity Of the
McNamaras or seeks to present them
in the light Of martyrs to the cause
OF labor, Is not only doing labor a
serious injury but is making himself
an accomplish before the fact In such
further dynamite outrages as may be
inspired or encouraged by such utter
ances.
This is too much Of a drift toward
anarchy to receive any sympathetic
support and It is to be hoped that II
new culprits are caught at this secret
method Of destroying life and property
that they win receive the fun penalty
Of the law.

DIET AND DISPOSITION.

There are people who firmly be-
lieve that a mans food not only de-
termines his fate. but has an imme1i-
ate effect for good or i'll upon his dis
position.
There is a long list Of these bene-
fetal and injurious foods, so called,
and those who desire to change their
dispositions by eating right might try
the following products commended by
the Meriden Journal:
Green peas. according to this new
science, cause frivolity. and should be
withheld from young ladies with a
congenital tendency to fliTt. On the
other hand, they are excellent for wall
flowers and pessimists. and should be
given in generous helpings to bashful
boys.
Carrots develop good temper and
amiability, and are particularly .ec-
commended for janitOrs, car conductors
and ticket agents. The potato develops
reason, as well as calmness and re-
Election; but care should be taken lest
it induce apathy and indifference OF
that disinclination to work which is
observable among boys who are Ted
daily on fried potatoes.
String beans stimulate the poetic
and artistic faculties; while cabbage
and cauliflower, nourishing though
they are, excite to vulgarity of
thought and manner, and are there
fore to be Stunned by those in train
ing for the parlor."
Feeding for the better way is an
easy method. hut 1t doesn't appear to
attract much attention because of the
lack Of faith among the people.

Q.-Would not the teaching of a Fu-
ture probation tend TO mako the peo-
pie careless and sinful in this life,
knowing that they were to have a Sec
ond chance in the life to come? (Du.
bious.)
Answer-Not nearly as much as to
teach that hardened wretch by a
deathbed confession would immediate
ly be ushered into Heaven. Besides, a
future probation would not signify a
second chance save for a limited
few, the Church of Christ, now being
selected out of the world (Acts XIV, 14)
to be the Bride, the Lambs Wife.
Most Of the criminals inhabiting the
jails and prisons of our land are, or
were, members Of some religious sys-
tenn that taught the sinner hardening
doctrine of eternal torment Did the
false teaching deter them from com
hitting crime? Those who believe that

cy, and justice, and that He has ar

not been satisfactory and that the ref

The country demands that the stat

This is fair representation of the
sentiment prevailing IN all parts Of this
country.
