CASE OF THE
RECENT QUAKE
Through all geologic time, water,
always water, has been both bullde?
and destroyer. Water has piled the
mountains up and ground thtym
d""» again with storm and glacier
pulverizing the debris, sifting and
separating sand from pebble, and
stone from bowlder; cutting deep
canyons in the rock, laying out the
Plain, throwing islands into the sea.
and giving continents new const
lines.
Water, too, was the original arch
itect of tlx* earth’s crust The first
rivers that flowed upon the earth’s
surface were red hot. Granite dis
solved in those floods like sugar In
a cup of tea. Deep down under the
earth's crust today, where water has;
entered through vaults, to he entrap-1
p< d and high1 heated, with no room '
for expansion, it dissolves Ihe rock.'
Consequent I v when 'he eruption of
a volcano takes place, relieving the
pressures in the deep passage under'
if. there i a rush toward the out-j
let of stream of Incandescent water
made sirup' with stone in solution
Then portion* of the earth’s crust,
which have been resting upon a sup
port of team under dynamite pres
sures. naturally i-;»g and shift when I
those pressures are removed or ma
ti "f'tlly lessened. The earth’s sur-l
face then assumes new levels, this
adjustment resulting in earthquakes
The vast amount of solid matter
ejected at times from volcanoes Is
dim cult of comprehension. The
great volcano Krnkntoa had been ex
tinct Tor ages when In IkS.d. its top
blev off with a shock felt clear
through the earth, and with a blast
th.it s< nt a wave of air around the
earth three times while the fine vol
canh dust did not entirely settle
out of the atmosphere for more than
two years, a wa* indicated by thrt
unu- tally brilliant display of red

disi no is not too great nor the

New York. March 7 - Mrs Wil
liam Thaw was the first witness
called after the luncheon recess yes
terday.
Mrs Thaw said she noticed a
change in her son when he came
to Pittsburg in 1903. He was nb
ent-mlnded and apparently had lost
interest in life.
Mrs. Thaw broke down and cried
while narrating the change in her
son following his trip to Europe In
1903, with Evelyn.
In explaining his changed condl
Mon to her. Mrs. Thaw said Harry
(°ld her "The wickedest man In
New York had ruined his life.”
Mrs. Thaw told of Harry break
ing down In church, with her In
Pittsburg, saying that an awful
thing had come over him and if It
had not happened Evelyn might
have been with him.
Much expert evidence has been
gone over and with the evidence of
Mrs. Thaw, which scorned to greatly
affect the Jury, the court adjourned
until Friday on account of death In
ilie family of Judge Fitzgerald.

A SERMDNET ON
TRE BEAUTIFUL.
" s
THE ALMIGHTY IS
ARTIST AND POET.
THR MAN FOH WHOM THK DAISY
H AS NO MKMHAQK IS TO HR
I’lTIKI).
God knew the importance of the
beautiful when He created the world.
The Almighty is artist and poet. Tho
sunset sky, the starlit night, the
crescent moon, the delicate tracery
of forest foliage and the rich color
of nature’s floral garb are all ex
pressions of the divine soul. Man
approaches Godllkeness. at least In
One respect, when he appreciates the
beautiful, and Ibis In greatest de
gree when It Is the beauty of the
world that most strongly appeals
to him.
It Is tho man to whom the loveli
ness of nature brings delight that
Is best fitted to enjoy the art of his
fellow men. Art Is Imitative, and
the work of the Divine Artist is the
great model which inspires human
emulation Art Is also Interpreta
tive. and has 11h highest mission In re
vealing to men the essential beauty
of the divine thought.
Beauty should have a place In the
education of every one. The eye and
ear should be trained to appreciate
the beauties of sights and sounds,
the soul should be instructed in the
art of making the life beautiful.
Nor Is It necessary that one should
travel abroad, visit the gre&t galleries
of masters In painting or spend years
In a school of art to gain this sense
of beauty. If you will take time
to get out in the parks, to wander
under the trees, to study the grace
ful lines of the branches, and the
delicate tints of leaf and blade and
wild flower, you will find your eyes,
gradually developing a sense of the
beautiful, and your soul responding
to the refining influence of Its atmos
phere The man for whom a daisy
has no message of delight, who °nn
not hear music In the rain or feci the
sweet ecHtacy of a summer night is
greatly to he pitied.

If the czar diabands the dounm or

that action will be the match which
will flame the whole empire Into
revolution. It Is not Impossible, and
many diplomatists profess to believe
that the czar's bureaucratic and
grand duko ndvlsers will compel
the “little father’' to order the Im
prisonment of the whole douma.
That will mean, according to best
advices received l.< e. that the fall
of the czar and his government will

more tragic.
