Madison. Wis, Feb. S.-The body OF

killed bv train on March 81, 1918,
has been exhumed for the fourth time
under the direction of Coroner Camp

The elimination is the first step IN

Mrs. Rachel Lawrence, who declares
that her husband was not killed by a
train but that his body was substituted
in the vault at the cemetery for the
mangled remains of an unidentified
man who was presumed to be her nus

She says that her husband was
wealthy and intimates that his money
furnished the motive for the mysteri-

with him a collection of diamonds,
worth many thousand dollars, and these
were missing when his body was

IOWA LEGISLATORS
VOTE BY ELECTRICII \
Simply Press a Key and Their Vote
Is Recorded at Clerks
Office.

Des Moines. Feb. s. Representatives
in the Iowa legislature vote their opIn-
ions on rollcall now with their fingers
No longer does the clerk call the roll
and the member vote with his lungs.
One result of the change is saving
of 5 minutes to half an hour IN tax
ing a roll call vote.
When a question is put to vote ev-
cry representative may vote at the
same time 1t is difficult for any to
wait and see what someone else will
do and let his vote follow.
Since the session two years ago an
electrical voting device has been IN
stalled in the House, and already has
been used. On each members desk Is
a little device TO which he carries 4
kew. No two keys are alike. There are
three small lights TO show him how he
is voting When the question is put
the legislator inserts the key, and then
manipulates the device What he does
is not only recorded for his own bene-
fit by the light on his desk, but shows
on board above the speakers head.
The members all are named on the
board. Opposite the name are three
lights and a slot. If hi. vote is aye"
red light shows, and ~" appears in
the slot A blue light shows and the
letter M for negative vote. To
merely be recorded present and not vot-
ing white light is used.
Within 20 seconds after the voting
is completed a photograph of the com
plete record on the board, taken auto
matically, is delivered to the desk Of
the clerk. In the meantime, however,
the total has been flashed on the speak
ers' and clerks desks, so the result
can be announced Immediately. The
photograph is the states record.
The machine is controlled by the
clerk, who unlocks it and sets it when
the vote Is called for. As soon as com
pIeted he again locks the machine

NNE great fault with many
~ cooks is to use too much
shortening in their cakes and pas
tries. This very often causes cakes
TO become heavy and indigestible,
and pie crusts soggy and pasty.
All animal fats have this ten
dency. They contain more or less
water. This prevents the heat from
breaking up the starch grsnules
properly.

ENGLISH GIRL CUT OFF

In Her Patriotism She Went to Great
Extreme to Help Out Financial

London. Feb. $. An English girl has
just set an example OF patriotism TO
her sisters of this or other countries by
cutting off and selling her hair and
giving the proceeds to the government
to help relieve its financial situation.
The girls name has not been made

FEW EARTHQUAKES
OCCUR INLAND
Captive Steam Causes These Eruptions
on Earth's Sur
face.

Much of the horror of earthquakes IN
the minds OF average persons il due to
ignoranc& of their cause. While know
ing what causes earthquakes will not
prevent the physical dangers which
they effect, persons are naturally less
terrified when the element OF mystery
is removed.
"All important earthquakes are due
to steam pressure accommodating within
or lust under the earth's crust, which
must have relief. whether by volcanic
eruption, uplifting of mountain chains
parallel to The sea, or the formation
and movements of faults in the earth's
crust" writes Prof Thomas J. j. See
in the Americana.
"The earth has a temperature OF
some 1000 degrees Fahrenheit at a
depth of less than twenty miles and
the leakage of the earth's crust Is well
known But in connection with the
penetration Of water we may recall the
porosity of all rocks and even metals
Under sufficient pressure water has been
forced through solid layers OF gold, sill
yer. lead. iron and steel. and under a
pressure Of 1000 atmospheres Amaeat
forced mercury through three inches
Of solid steel. The oceans are deep
enough 10 give a pressure of about one
thousand atmosphere on their bot
toms. and as the water penetrates
downward the pressure steadily m
creases.
As Sir Archibald Geikie Justly re
marks. Dauhrce'S experiments showed
that owing to capillarity water may
permeate rocks against high counter
pressure of steam on the further side,
and that so long n water Is supplied
whether by minute assures or through
pores Of the rocks, il may under pres
sure OF it, own superintendent column,
make its way to highly heated regions.
II NAV thus increasc the steam pres
sure within until il is sufficient To
raise lava in the vent Of volcano or
produce earthquakes by the movement
Of the crust along an adjacent fault.
1T has been fund bv experiment that
gases are rapidly absorbed in hot steel
and other metals. and the rapid absorb
ton Of water in molten rock Is proved
bv the vast clouds Of steam arising
from lava as il pours from a volcano.
The vapors which are thus freely emit
ted are a. readily absorbed Hence i
follows that a. water permeates down
ward into the earth il finally gets hot
enough to become steam in spite of the
pressure. and tends TO diffuse among
the molten rocks below. But il can
not descend to great depths without
becoming superheated and having its
explosive power enormously increase;
and the result is that il Is spread in a
LAYER lust under the crust and finally
brings on an earthquake.
"Sincc volcanoes occur only in the
sea. on islands and along the shores Of
continents. but ALWAYS die out inland.
while all the vapor they emit i steam,
except one part in a thousand. which
Is of secondary character, made up OF
bv-produets due to moisture and high
temperature. II follows that steam Is
the sole original cause Of volcanic &C
tivitv. II has long been observed that
earthquakes in a region near an active
volcano cease when the steam escapes,
and therefore imprisoned steam was
the sole cause of previous shocks.
