Tough Luck of Telegraph Operator

A Long Way Off

From the New York American.
Scientists have long declared that
the earth will dry up and become as
barren and dismal as the moon. But
there is no occasion to worry about
this since it will not occur for more
millions of years, probably, than we
can count
In regard to the present dried-un
condition of the moon, it used to he
believed that the moon at one time
had a plentiful supply of water, but
that the great heat developed on either
side. as the moon was turned to the
sun OH alternate sides IA davs at
stretch gradually evaporated the wa
ter This -vapor of evaporation did
not fall back to the moons surface,
1t was claimed, because the moons
gravity was not sufficient to hold it.
and SO the vapor constantly thrown
off by centrifugal motion gradually left
the moon barren and dry.
But the new theory, now held by
the great scientists, is also. held to
be applicable to the earth, and that
what really happened to the moon will
happen to this planet in the course of
time-an almost unthinkable amount of
time.
This theory is that crystal of any
sort, lump of rock salt or quartz
or limestone. contains great pro-

covered and the crystal becomes q

had followed and loved through three

incident in the life of Alexander Hill
ton which is imprinted indelibly upon
his memory.
Jesse James, according to Mr.. Hill

disqualified for interfering with

life which he had so long led. Back
in the hills of Tennessee lived the
sweetheart of his boyhood. still true
to the lover of years gone by. The
call of the hearts mate was too
strong for even the hardened temper
ament of Mr.. Hilton to resist He re-
turned to Tennessee and married the
sweetheart of his dreams.
One year afterwards, however. his
wife died, and again the call of the ad-
venturous west fired the blood of this
high strung southerner. He left Ten
nessee for Texas, where for eight years
he worked as a cowpuncher on the
ranch of Col w. F. Cody buffalo
BID.
When Colonel Cody went on the
road with, his wild west show, Mr..
Hilton returned east and settled in Ala
bama. For % years he has lived in
Birmingham, being one of the very
earliest settlers of the city. Here he
married and here he has since re-
mained.
Quietly, unnoticed, he moves along
the crowded streets of the city today
comparatively unkonwn Content with
his lot. and earning his daily susie
nance by honest toll, he lives not In
the present in which he moves, but
in a past, thrilling, appealing-in the
midst of romance stranger than fic-

was a molten mass, a cooling process
was started then, and in cooling the
natural demand was for water in or
der for the INTO form their crystals.
The water seeped down through the
crust of the moon and finally it was
in that manner all used up.
This is tile manner in which this
theory is applied to the earth. Our
great oceans bring a powerful pressure
to bear upon the earth's crust, and
because of subterranean volcanoes in
various parts of the Pacific ocean we
know water is gradually seeping into
the heated interior OF the earth.
The earth continues to lose its heat
by radiation. and this brings about
shrinkage and cracking of the old
crust, as demonstrated now and then
by great earthquake and volcanic erup-
tions. This. in turn, makes a COM
munication between the water of the
earths crust and the cooling mass in
side, these things being affinities And
so 1t is claimed all the earth's water
must gradually seep into the inte-
rior and go into the formation OF
crystals. Even then it is claimed there
will not be sufficient water to cool
and crystailize all the smolten mass
inside. -

RANKS OF VOTERS
MAY BE DOUBLED


SALEM. Ore, Aug. 23.-That the
enfranchisement of women may be
double the total registration in Oregon
is the belief of the men who have
made study of registration figures
in Secretary of State Olcotts office.
The conclusions are based on reports
of registrations from the various
counties from June to August 16.
1t is estimated that the registration
for the primary to be held in May,
1914, for candidates for state, district,
county and precinct offices will be at
least 250,00O. TIE total registration
prior to the general election of 1912,
before women were given the votes,
approximately was 10000.
The registration figures as report
ed by the various counties to date are
as follows:
Baker. 81; Benton, IS; Clackamas,
43SS; Columbia, 242; Coos. 2s2; Curry
"a; Douglas, 1713; Grant, 22; Hood

er, 9; Yamhill, 1O6. Total. 11.701.
TIE registration is being conducted
by the county clerks under the new
law, which authorizes the permanent
registration of all legal voters at any
time prior to 80 days before a gen.
