 CIVIL ACTION

 In speaking of the matter yester- day with one of the most promin- ent Netlakahtlans, it was learned that even the sidewalks of the town are claimed by Mir. Duncan as his property. This, together with other improvements, which Is claim ed as community property, the ownership of which should be de- termined for all time, is given as the reason for the intended action. The informant said, however, that he had advised the natives to sub nit the settlement of this difficulty to arbitration and abide by the result.

WORLD Is MOVED
 BY ELECTRICITY

After being used for almost everything else under the sun elec- tricity has been harne6sed to make the earth revolve-at least 1t ap- pears so when one sees the apDSra- tus in a recent exhibition of what engineers ale doing.
 A model of the earth nearly sev- en feet in diameter, with all the physical and geographical details painted on its. surface and iuciin- ed at the proper angle to the eciiptic. is turned steadily by an electric motor. To obtain a better approximation to the surface speed of the earth this model makes a complete revolution every minute h. sJead of every twenty-four hours. The designer says that 1t Is per fectlY proper that world whirled Iv electricity should go LAO times as fast as the old fashioned one propelled by the ancient force of gravity. The size of the model gives the spectator all excellent con ception of the real earth. It was made by engineering students of Hiohland Park college, Des Moines, Iowa, unedr the supervision of Fred Erickson, a student from Gales burg, Illinois, and bears figures showing the number of students in that college from every state and country in the world.

 In some subtle manner, however, It is felt that the tension has slackened and that the two coun- tries directly concerned will find method of reaching an agreement without an open rupture This opinion is based mostly upon the present energetic action of the German and Austrian ambassadors here to maintain friendly relations, which is taken as a reflection from :heir home government.
