ton. The talk that this Is the change
contemplated with references TO that
particular position Is SO persistent that
Il carries with IL belief that there may
be substantial foundation for the COS.
sip. Senator Chiffon has heen here
for the past week and has been In
close conference with high officials
Of the administration who are close
to the President.
Despite rumors to the contrary, opin.
ion prevails that there will be more
changes In the cabinet than has been
dntimated from the inner councils OF
the administration. There is strong
belief prevailing here that both Secre.
tary Of War Baker and Secretary Red
deld will be almost sure to step down
and out There Is feeling that there
win be quite shaking up in cabinet
circles and new deal given. Friends
close to the President say that he has
not forgotten that in the recent cam.
paign there was decided sentiment
prevailing that his cabinet was not
I as strong AZ the American people
would like to see It. It was this pre-.
vatlfng sentiment, II IL recognized In
the White House, which caused Can.
didate Hughes to make repeated prom.
ises that, should he be elected. he
would select a cabinet of the ablest
men in the country.
Following a long-established custom
each member of the cabinet will send
his resignation to the President by
March 3, SO when he is inagurated on
March the President will be free to
act as he pleases without any cmbar.

Guard Members
Drill Hard Today

Captain A. D. Bell OF Company 1.
West Virginia National Guard, has ap.
'parently started something new in
Fairmont in the way of drilling the
members Of the National Guard. The
aystem seems to have solved the long
mooted question concerning the diff.
entity in getting members to drill once
each week.
At 10 o'clock this morning. suffi.
cient number Of the khaki clad were
on hand to constitute a drill company
These were put through the manual
of arms and other Instructions four
times today, thus making four drills
IN one day.
The men seem to like the system al.
though 1t is rather strenuous for
them, they having to drill six hours
With their equipment and heavy guns.
The men get paid one dollar after each
drill which makes their six hours OK.
sercise worth four dollars to them.

OCEAN LEVELS.


Reasons Why the Sea ls Higher u
Some Places Than In Others.
The level of the Pacific as whole
is not higher than that of the At
lantie, but there are parts of each
ocean which are higher, measured
from the earth's center, than other
parts Of either the same ocean or
ather oceans. But very little is ac-
curately known about these differ
ences Of sea level. Some of them
are temporary or variable, and these
are due to tides, winds and ocean
currents heaping up the water in
certain localities or at certain times.
Other differences of level are per-
manent, being caused by the attrac-
ton of unusually dense portions of
the earth's crust or by massive
mountains lying close to the sea
border. For instance, the geologi-
cal survey of India disclosed the
fact that the sea level at the mouth
of the Indus river is 500 feet higher
or farther from the earth's center
of gravity than it is around the is
land of Ceylon, and this difference
is ascribed to the attraction of the
mighty mass Of rock that culni-
mates in the HiInalaya mountains
This draws the sea surface into
rising slope. But it does not affect
navigation. Ships do not seem to
be going up hill when they sail from
Ceylon to the northwestern corner
of India, because they experience
the same effects from the attraction
OF the mountain mass that the wa
ter feels
In the barometric determination
of heights a mean or average sea
level is assumed from which to
but the actual level often
differs considerably from this calcu-
lated mean. 1t follows that the
level Of the oceans is not every
where a uniform spherical or oblate
spheroidal surface, but that lis, so
to speak, full of humps and hollows,
these are infnitesimal in
with the size of the
earth
Moreover, they would not be mo-
to those who sail over them
if they we're far greater than they |
are, because the changes Of slope
are gradual and the action of grav-
ity which produces them affects |
alike everything afoat on that part
Of the sea.-Garrett p. Serviss in |
New York journal.
