Earth Not Solid.

A new discovery that the so-called
solid earth is really a stiff jelly that
is caused to tremble by waves beating
on the shore has been made by an emf
nent geologist. Prof. J. w. Evans has
reported to the royal institution that
he has obtained at West Bromwich, in
the English midlands. seisometer rec.
ords of "wave quakes" produced by
Atlantic rollers dashing against the
shores Of western Ireland. 300 miles
away. His co-ordinated recording in
struments showed that the tremor
travels through the rock strata of the
earth's crust at the rate Of $50 miles
a minute, eacn tremor being separated
from the next by from five TO eight
seconds.

JOHNSTON'S PRIZE
HEAVY LOSES FIGHT
Mickey Collins Is Knocked Out
in Second Round by Wolf
larsen.
by CHARLES +. MATHISoN.

A wolf descended on Jimmy John
ston's fold of pugilistic lambs last night
at the Pioneer Sporting Club and
slaughtered the prize specimen. 1t was
Wolf Larsen. former amateur fighter.
who did the damage and It was Henry
Biel. a red headed fireman of Jersey
City. boxing under the name of Mickey
Collins. who was the victim.
Larsen is a stocky, phlegmatic chap,
guiltless of boxing skill but with a
battering ram punch in his right mitt.
Larsen also has sandy hair, and it was
G battle of flaming craniums. Collins
weighed III pounds and Larsen III.
With the sound of the gong FOR the
first round Collins. having in mind the
parting advice Of Prof. Johnston,
stepped nimbly to the center and airiy
roked a left hand into the countepance
of Herr Larsen. This continued for
half a minute. and Larsen becoming ir-
ritated by the constant flicking of his
proboscis suddenly shot right to
Collinss jaw and sent him to the can
vas for a count of nine.
Staggering to his feet Collins re-
ceived three more knockdown blows for
pins when the welcome bell ended the
round.
After much more valuable advice from
Prof. Johnston Collins came out for
TIE second round and was promptly
floored by Larsen. After taking the
customary count of nine Collins arose
shakily and was knocked flat on his
back. Johnny Haukop, the referee then
stopped the slaughter and Collins re-
turned to Jersey City. where he is said
to be an excellent fireman.
Pat Malarkey, a giant guard of the
r. Il. t., also came TO grief. He ran
with Joe Mccain, of Jersey City, and
was rescued by the referee after 2
minutes and so seconds of the first
rouuS fscCann tloored Malarkey three
times before the referee called a halt.
The b. r. T. man was unable to guard
his jaw from tho ~t~ht hand smashes

STOCK EXCHANGE0UT
OF S25,O0O,OOO SUIT
Mystery About Litigation by
Insurance Companies Against
Big Concerns.

A suit for s25, 900, 900 instituted by the
Mercantile National and Narragansett
Mutual Fire Insurance companies
against Kuhn, Loeb & Co., the Equitable.
Guaranty and Metropolitan Trust COM
panies, the United States Steel Corpora
ton, the New York Stock Exchange and
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Rail-
road and the Indiana and Illinois Coal
Company was dismissed as 10 the Stock
Exchange in the Supreme Court yester-
day on motion asking to have the
complaint dismissed as "A whole because
it did not state facts establishing a
cause of action.
The complaint, which was drawn and
verified by e. Fl. Miller. an attorney
with an office at Huguenot Park, staten
Island. sets forth that within the last
several years the plaintiff insurance
companies had an interest in certain coai
bearing lands in Illinois ara Indiana
and that by sales, stock transfers.
rfianipulations of the market ana ar
rangements secretly entered into various
of the defendants sold, or had to do
with the sale of, the lands contrary to
the plaintiffs interest so that they were
damaged in the amount of $25.OO0,OOV.
1t was stated yesterday that other
motions will be made to dismiss the COM
plant as not setting up a cause OF
action.
The complaint, which covers less than
three typewriter pages. does not state
that any of the defendants was ever
trustee of any stock held by the plain
tiff companies. or that the plantiffs
had authority in law to have and hold
coal or other lands not needed for the
purposes of conducting insurance busi-
nesses.
The complaint fails also TO set up
any knowledge by any of the defend
ants that the plaintiff companies had
any interest in stocks Of the Chicago
and Eastern Illinois Railroad or the
Indiana and Illinois Coal Company, two
defendants who are named as having
at one time owned some of the lands
in which the plaintiffs are ALLEGED to
have been interested or that the railroad
and coal companies, when they sold the
lands knew the plaintiffs claimed an
interest in them. The complaint, above
all. does not give the location of the
lands or any state of facts tending to
show that coal is in them or has ever
been mined from them.
