Senator Fletcher Made Many Friends.
The visit of Senator Fletcher to Fort
Pierce was an outstanding triumph in
Ievery way. He met hundreds of
friends and admirers, made a great
speech, made himself acquainted with
various projects and developments in
and around Fort Pierce, and also won
friends from the small few who have
hitherto been opposed to him.
We are glad to note that the great
body of citizens here think highly of
the senator, but there have been few,
of course, who have been ardent fol-
lowers Of our erratic governor. Three
of these hunted up the senator at the
restaurant where he was taking lunch
Tuesday and told him that they had
been Cats men up to late, but that
they had had enough of the Cats re-
gime and were going to give the sena-
tor their unqualified support.
These are men of high standing here,
well known to all, and fine citizens.
This is but an example of numerous
reports that come from Vero, all up
the East Coast, and practically all
over Florida.
and the whole Union has been of the
highest order, and the people of Flor
ida have only been made acquainted
with this work to become proud Of the
senator.
Senator Fletcher will return to
Washington with the largest majority
he has ever had. Mark the prediction.

operations, "to make full and complete

against him, was sent to Chairman
Walsh of the committee last night by r.

What Scientists Say on Subject of Mach
Speculation


In the Electrical Experimenter Maya
zine, III. Gernsback states that many
things that we take for granted some
times turn out to be very much different
than we first thought them to be- Take
for instance, the earth's interior. Our
physics instructors and scientists taught
us for years that the earth was once a
huge molten sphere, just beginning to cool
down. The interior and center is sup
posed to be entirely fuid-a huge molten
mass where all the known elements I'm
Guiding rocks" are in a liquid state, at a
| tremendously high temperature running
up into thousands of degrees Fahrenheit.
Our physics instructors by way of i'm
| pressing us were wont to tell us that the
hard crust of the earth is just about as
thick in proportion to the rest of the
earth as the peel is to an orange
| And in order that we could not doubt
| their words our instructors give us
| proofs to back up their contentious.
! First, we are pointed out that the vol
canOes-the yenthOles of the LIQUID earth S
interior-prove that the earth is fluid in
| side. Witness the many volcanic erup-
| tiOns belching forth molten rock lava and
birthstone. And to further disarm our
suspicious we are shown that as we de-
scend into the earth's interior, the tenn
| perature rises one degree Fahrenheit for
every 10 to 30 feet. 1t matters not where
| we pore hole or sink shaft into the
earth interior, the temperature as we
descend is pretty uniform the world over,
even in high ATTITUDES. These are both
| facts, well authenticated and not doubted
| by any sane person.
But recently scientists began wonder
ing if these facts really proved that the
earths interior was in a molten state.
And the more they wondered the more
they learned. For one thing they said !.
If the earth's interior is really in mol
ten state, liquid in other words, why does
not this molten mass rise and fall with
the tides which undoubtedly it would do
were it liquid or even plastic. Accurate
measurements, however, show that there
is no such tide in the interior of the earth.
II there We're. the crust of the earth. due
to the tidal effects of the moon and the
sun, would constantly rise and fall. for
one thing, and we would have extensive
daily earthqua kes. But, you will say, the
earth's crust is so solid that there NAV
well exist a tide inside of the earth that
we cannot perceive. This is hardly even
