A Man of Quick Wit and Prompt
Action Mas I ord Whitworth

A Man of Quick Wit and Prompt
Action Was Lord Whitworth.
Lord Whitworth, who held various
circles, was kindly, gracious gentle
man as well as a wit and man Of
the world He had indeed almost meas
ured swords with Napoleon at the
Tuileries when that despot rallied at
England for not having evacuated
Egypt and Malta, accused her Of hav-
ing violated treaties and ended by
'fiourishing cane dangerously near the
face Of the English ambassador.
Lord Whitworth put his hand on the
hilt Of his sword
"What would you have done II the
emperor had struck your he was att
erward asked.
II would have felled him to the
ground" was the quiet answer.
Perhaps the best story told Of him is
one showing how his quick wit dis

.THAW LOSES HIS

Within Twsnty-four Hours.

Coaticook, Que, Sept. 5.-Harry
Thaw lost his fight for freedom. He
is still in Canada, and will be until
Saturday, but that he is to be de-
ported is certain.
The dominion government does not
want him. New York state does, and
New York state probably will get him
Even his attorneys turned on Thaw.
A board of inquiry made up of fiH4

on his right of freedom in Canada.
Thaw was given one of the most COM
prehensive grillings of his long career
before court officials. The entire out
line of his two trials for the murder
of Stanford White were dragged out
of the past and rehearsed before him.
His hereditary, his family instincts,
the practices of his youth were once
more ventilated.
The man put up grave front. He
was fighting perhaps as he had never
fought before, and the effort showed
in his actions, in his choice of words.

his body even in the turning OF his

faced that board of inquiry. 1t was 2
man who had excellent control OF all
his faculties, a man who, to look ct
casually, was endowed not with men,
tai weakness, but large intellectual
power.
And his lawyers have given up the
fight. J. N. Greenshield, his chief OF
counsel, has returned to Montreal On
the plea of more urgent business.

Canadas leading criminal lawyer, lett

may not be named, that his relatives
believe he belongs to Mattewan and
not at large. The truth of the matter
is I think so myself"

the interior if he. wishes. He prob
ably will not, however, for in such an
event the government will rake the
insanity charge and on it deport Thaw
to New York state. If he does not ap-

him as an undesirable alien the
chances are that he will be sent to
Vermont. This, at least, is what

RlNGWoRM ON CHILD'S FACE

ringworm on the face. First it was in
small red spots which had a rough
crust on the top. When they started
they looked like little red dots and
then they got bigger, about the size
Of a birds egg. They had a white
rough ring around them, and grew
continually worse and soon spread
over his face and legs. The child suf-
fered terrible itching and burning, so
that he could not sleep nights. He
scratched them and they looked fear
full. He was cross when he had them.

but nothing helped.

New Phenomenon.

A new phenomenon has been OBJ

gives the name OF lono-magnetic rota-
ton. II a spark from a condenser Of
considerable capacity Is sent horizon
tally through gas and two small YER
tical vanes OF mica in the form OF a
cross are suspended in the middle Of
the discharge by a fine fiber attached
to the center OF the cross the spark
produces no rotation OF the cross. II,
however, a vertical magnetic field is
established in the gas, the cross ro-
tates through a considerable angle II
the gas is air, and over a small angle
in other cases. Professor Righi as
cribes this rotation to the bending Of
the paths OF the ions or electrons, and
to the additional protection which the
vanes afford each other against i'm
pacts from one side rather than from
the other in these circumstances. The
observed rotations indicate that the
effects Of the positive ions are in gen
eral greater than those of the mega
tive.

AMERICA MOVING WESTWARD

II may be news TO most people that
North America has travelled from Eu-
rope across the Atlantic 10 It's pres.
ent position on the globe, and that II
Is still moving toward China.
According 10 the calculations OF
Professor Wegener OF Marburg. Ger.
many. North America In the last
twenty.six years has moved 295 feet
away from Europe. and Greenland in
eighty-four years has travelled the APP
preciable distance Of 3,0S3 feet, also
away from Europe. Professor Veg
ener believes that this movement
westward is due to surface pressure
exerted by ice. Not only does this
pressure force the continent or island
upon which II is exerted to sink, but,
Just as a lot OF cakes Of Ice lying upon
each other in a pan OF water move the
lower strata OF the ice cakes side
ways, 30 does surface pressure OF ice
force an island or even a continent TO
move sideways. Greenland, so much
smaller than the North American con-
tinent. and loaded down more heavily
with ice because Of its northern lati-
tude, would move much more rapidly
than our own continent, as It actually
does. II Professor Wegener's computa-
tions be correct.
II Professor Wegener be right, then
II is not merely possible but probable
that America and Europe were at one
time either one and the same conti-
nent or so close together than even
the rude craft and meager seamanship
Of the early Hebrews and Phoenielans
could carry men and women from one
continent to the other.
The average breadth Of the Allan
tic ocean is about 5000 miles. Each
mile contains $3.50 feet. A simple
arithmetical problem gives us the ex'
traordinary result that, supposing
North America to have Travelled at
the same speed in the past as in the
present, II took our continent 1,398,000
years to accomplish the journey to its
present site. The idea is a fantastic
one. It suggests that in about 2.000.-
900 years If the present speed be
kept up, the Pacific coast Of America
may bump against Japan and China,
thus obiterating the Pacific ocean or
leaving it merely a chain of lakes.
