Outline of Geodetic Work.

American delegates will advise the con-

that have elapsed since the association
met in London and Cambridge. England.
They will give particular account of a
new telescope, which government experts
call the Photographic zenith tube, devised
by DR.. Frank Ross and installed at the
government station at Gaithersburg, Md,
near the surveys big optical zenith tele-
scope.
Gaithersburg is one of half a dozen
small astronomical observatOIies main
tained by the International Geodetic
Association on the thirty-E1nth parallel
for the observation Of variations OF lati-
tude. Wobbling of the earth's axis, which

Gravity Problems From Mexico.
Mexico wishes to discuss gravity prob
lens. Delegate Leyva has been spending
several days here among government
scientists. He has just established a So
called gravity station in 4.-exico and has
compared with work at Washington by
swinging pendulums at both places. The
purpose of this Is to determine the differ
ences in intensity of gravity. which de-
pends on the shape of the earth. Gravity
Is greater at the poles than at the
equator, and by observing the differences
in the intensity Of gravity the shape Of
the earth can be computed. Washington
is connected with Europe In these gravity
problem operations. and the Mexicans
work establishes a connection between
Mexico and the European gravity base
stations.

the pursuers, where everything conspires
to put the government at disadvantage,
is a costly process, and while it has been
given out that the government can COM
mand all the finances it needs to do 1t,
there is reason TO believe that money Is
not so easy to get in Mexico City, and
certain it is that soldiers in sufficient
numbers are hard to. get. The govern
ment has passed d new recruiting law.
One man out of each 100 must go into
the army. says this law. and the choice
must be made by a system of drawing
lots. 1t is generally believed that the
new method of censcription will prove
but little more effective than the old
method of voluntary enlistment.
While all of these internal troubles are
being experienced the situation from
without is becoming one that does not
promise to be a bed of roses for the
dipiomatists of Mexico 1t is inevitable
that vast CLAIMS for damages sustained
by foreign interests other than American
will have to be paid. and the notice
served by the American State Department
that strict accountability will be exacted
for the violations of international law
committed against American residents of
Mexico and their property means that
whatever else the United States will do
in Its attitude toward Mexico ii will not
fail in the end to seek proper reparation
for injuries inflicted that come under the
purview of international law and usage.

FRUITS OF REVOLUTION.

ments. through which. for generations
past. they have capitalized the sweat of
the poems brow and have grown rich off
his labor. The revolution does hurt them.
1t hurts them first because it takes away
their labor: there have been two crop
failures because there were neither hands
for seed-time nor hands for harvest, and
a third season for planting has passed
with none to do 1t in a large portion of
the country. And then it has hurt them
because the men who worked in the
mines and those who worked on the
ranches have gone into the armies of the
two factions. Meanwhile the merchant
is hard hit, for there is no one to buy
from him. The peon, with his gun and
his belief that this is chance to come
into his own, to collect species OF back
pay for all the years of compulsory serv-
ice he has rendered, has found it easier
to live by forag1ng than by working in
the land and makes the ideal guerrilla.

1t is case of having sown to the wind
and then reaping the whirlwind Madero

for generations, and that every right he
had was beirg denied him. 1t was point
ed out to him that he never had got an
adequate wage that he had been robbed
or his bfrthright. of voice in the affairs
OF his government, that he had no chance
to right these wrongs except he take up
arms and join the revolution. He obeyed
his teachers. Then they. rode into power
on his shoulders. and wages were no bet
ter, the right to vote was no more his
than before, and he saw nothing coming
his way that was an improvement over
what had been before.
He did not have the patience to sit
down and wait until Madero had Il
fair trial He knew nothing of the
fact that the things which Madero
promised to him could come only. il at
all, through a process OF evolution, and
he could not hope to revamp things
and effect the desired changes in Il
day. or even a year. So he concluded
that Madero was another Diaz. and
without giving him even the semblance
of fair chance to begin reforms joined
in the revolution to overthrow the
man he had helped into power.
This, then, is the story of the MeXi-
con revolutions. How it is possible to
put an end to them is hard for the out
slider to see. With the country i'm
poverished, the mines closed food
stuffs at unprecedented prices. no
crops in the revolutionary regions and
no coming crops-the peon. who Is now
soldier, If he tries again to travel
the paths Of peace. will temporarily
find his last condition worse than his
first and without the intelligence to
understand the reasons thereof or the
patience to wait for the better times
that might follow. he will probably
go on with his guerrilla operations in
