Trying to Steal Munsey's

Amusing Competition Among Evening Newspaper
Failures.

Munsev bought the Globe and paid TWO MILLION dollars
In cash for it, AS business he knew the
wise thing was to combine that paper with his New York
Evening Sum- and he made the combination accordingly
Then came the struggle the little evening newspaper
failures each wing with the effort to steal from
Munsey the Globes circulation that he had honestly bought
and paid for ., - ..
paper that never ANYTHING announces that it now

eIsa tn call failure and so called itself liberal initiates
conspicuous that the Globe had published and does
its best to steal what it from Munseys nonestyade

Those offering newspaper failures remind you Of unplea
ant crows that gather around dead horse
Instead of trying steal circulation that Mr. Munsey
bought instead Of bidding feeby and nefectivey for Globe
readers who naturally should gone Mr. Munseys read

to him helping clear the New York newspaper
situation wishing him all possible in the combination
Of his two properties.
This is suitable occasion paying tribute to Frank
Munsey and his business career

in Michigan almost exactly one
mile deep $3.50 feet. At these
depths the temperature is oppres-
sive, but short shifts Of work
are still possible. It is said that
men have worked in some mines
where the rock temperature was
as high as $50 degrees Fahren-
heit, but where the air was kept
at 1876 degrees by ventilating APP
paretus blowing down fresh air
from the surface. In the Com.
stock Lode work was done at an
air temperature as high as 100
degrees.
Much depends upon the local
ity. The average rate Of in
crease Of temperature with in
crease of depth in the earth's
crust is figured at about one de-
gree Fahrenheit for every fifty
three feet Of descent. This would
give total increase, at the depth
of one mile, of about 100 degrees
above the mean temperature at
the mine mouth.
But the variations from the av-
erage rate Of increase are very
wide. Sometimes the gain is
only one degree in seventy.five
or eighty feet, sometimes one in
100 feet, and rates lower than
one degree in 200 feet have been
recorded in Michigan copper mines
and Rand (Africa) gold mines. In
one of the Rand mines the rate
was only one degree in 254 feet.
That would imply an increase Of
only 100 degrees at a depth not
far short of five miles!
The effects Of too much heat
cannot be judged by the tempera-
ture alone. The character of the
air as to purity, etc, counts
for much. Thus in the great tun.
nels driven under the Alps it was
found that in some cases a tenn
perature of not more than ninety
degrees was sufficient to incapaci.
tate men for work.
The general problem Of the in
terror heat of the earth Is q diff
cult one. It is likely, however,
that below a depth Of a few miles
the rate of increase Of tempera.
ture becomes more regular. There
is also a reason to th4Ak that
there may be a kind OF isother-
NAL stratum below which the in
crease Of temperature virtually
ceases.
This cessation would be due to
increased conductivity of the
deeper rocks as compared with
those near the surface. Upon
this basis it has been calculated
that after attaining an average Of
about 1000 degrees Fahrenheit,
at a depth of forty miles below
the surface, the temperature Of
the earth's interior may remain
nearly normal, 1. e.. 1t may no.
where be greater than 2,000
degrees. This is a little below the
melting point of cast iron, but
above that OF gold and copper.
In the neighborhood Of active
volcanoes and of hot springs the
rate Of increase Of temperature
with descent into the crust Is
largely increased.

Lucy Lowell Tells of Wife Who

Request
BY Lucy Lowell.

AYO doubt she feels very big
~ and noble and self-sacrific-

it does, and without one malici-
GUS word throws the spotlight on
the Other Woman, and she shows
up very small and mean.
For, of course. there is another
woman, since this is the same old
story of the triangle.
The wife and her husband lived
happily enough. 1t seems. out in
their Los Angeles home till he
journeyed to New York on bust
ness trip. There he met the
other.
How long the situation re.
manned so, he with part Of his
thought and. perhaps. most Of his
affection in the East and the re-
mairfder bestowed in the West, is
not made clear. Not long, I
fancy, for men do not take nat
urally to intrigue.
Still he either feared to bring
the thing to an issue or was too
held by a sense Of fairness as
was set forth in the astonishing
letter from the girl to the wife,
which revealed the position Of the
first and possibly made a melo-
dramatic heroine Of the second.
IT know he is married to YOU
went the letter, but believe
that you do not want him. He
and I love each other, so please
give him a divorce or get one
from him 80 that he and l may
find the happiness we want"
A strange reason to cause
woman who married a man for
better or worse" to dissolve her
solemn vows!
Marriage, as society under
stands It. is for life and not q
thing to be cast lightly aside be-
cause love has settled down and
infatuation broken out else
where. II it were true that she
no longer loved her husband.
wouldn't the honest heart at
tempt to discover the cause and
correct It?
You do not understand what It
means to love and not be within
the law"
OF course! The price Of theftl
Then the nagging threat OF the
letter:
IT am going to stick to him no
matter what happens. He didn't
want me TO write but. Like Q

woman, / was determined to tell
you all. Maybe some day you
will want someone to do the same
for you-"
And swayed by such argument
the wife hurried away to court
to make the magnificent gesture
AS she saw 1t, perhaps.
It seems to me that this was
the time, OF all others, for the
wife to stick. With tact and un-
derstanding certainly. but never
theless with firmness. What is
the fancy Of a few weeks or
months compared with the until
death-do-us idea Of marriage7
And what is to become Of the
American family and the country
at large IL each passing whim
causes the wife to see herself as
divorce court heroine?
