Sill CHARLES HARDINOE, who has Just been mado viceroy of India, ts fifty-two, entered the diplomatic
scrvlco 30 years ago, and has had a most distinguished career. Amongst other positions he has held
aro thoso of charge d'affaires at Washington, at Sofia, at Bucharest, and In Paris. In 1908 ho went
to St Petersburg ns secretary to the embassy. Five years later he came home, to return to St. Petersburg
In the following year an nmbassador. Hon Lady Hardtnge, whoso marrlnge took place In 1890, was Hon.
Winifred Sturt, dnughter of the first Lord Arlington. Her only daughter, Diamond, wbb born In 1900. Sir
Charles may bo said to havo a hereditary Interest In the vice-royalty of India, as his grandfather, tho first
Viscount Hardlnge of Lahore, was governor general of that country from 1844 to 1848. Tho news of his
appointment has been warmly welcomed In India.
RUSSIANS
Emigrants Favor This Country in
Preference to Siberia.
Problem Engages Attention of Able
Muscovite Writers and Econo
mists, Who Advise Authori
se to Check Outflow.
8t. Petersburg. On tho question of
emigration and Immigration a consid
erable chungo hns come over tho
world during tho last forty years, new
countries being moro careful about the
sort of immigrants they receive and
old countries being moro concerned
nbout the sort of emigrants they part
with. Forty years jigo tho British
government looked on emigration
much ns tho doctors of thoso days
looked on blood-letting. Now It looks
on omlgratlon, oven from Ireland, as
tho doctors of these days look on
blood-lotting, Russia Is now beginning
to do the snmo, Judging from a series
of articles entitled "Tho Future of
Russian Emigration to America,"
which has boon nppenrlng in the
Novoo Vremya of St. Petersburg, from
tho pen of Julius Nelldoff. Mr. Nell
doff, who has personally Investigated
this problem for many years In Amer
ica, thinks that tho Russian govern
ment Bhould do all In Its power to get
Its stream of Immigration directed
toward Siberia Instead of toward
Now York, and that If a section of
the Russian Immigrants InslBt on go
ing to America in any case the Rus
sian authorities should do all In their
power to make that section consist of
men who will come back and in due
time enrich their fatherland with the
experience, the money, the knowledge
of agriculture and of Industry which
they have picked up abroad.
Ho fears, however, that the stream
of emigration which Is flowing Amor
Icaward cannot bo stopped and he cal
culates that It will soon consist of
half a million porsons yearly from
Russlu nlono'. An ho also calculates
that tho British, German, Italian and
Austrian emigration to America will
shortly full to Insignificant figures, It
Is probable that this great wave of
Slavonic Immigration will bo the last
great billow of tho kind that will
strike tho United Statse. It would be
interesting, therefore, to speculate on
the effect which this addition of Slav
blood will havo on the ultimate Amer
ican type. It will probably make that
typo moro dreamy, philosophical and
artistic, and consequently Improve It,
Tidal Effects
Delicate 8elsmographlc Instrument
Shows That Buildings Salute
Twice Each Day.
London. An a result of a sorles of
oxperlmcnts recently carried out by
Professor Mllno, tho pioneer of mod
ern seismology, It Is now known that
twlco each day at high tide tho build
ings along opposite sides of tidal ba
sins solute each other.
Tho experiments wore carrlod out
at Bldston obsorvntory, near Liverpool,
ono and a half miles from tho sea,
with a modified form of seismograph
designed to record tidal effects and
tho moro minute movements which
other seismographs would not or not
often record. The Instrument re
corded photographically, a tilt on tho
pillar supporting it causing n definite
deflection on tho Mm.
From tho very first the Instrument
gavo very clear and dollnlto recordB
of tho strange effect of the tldos.
Twlco a day tho recording ncedlo
swung In one direction, showing that
tho Bteopness of tho hillside on which
It rested was Increasing.
At high tldo tho bo dof the Irish sen
became- dopressod rrom an Increased
load, and the effect of this wns to pull
tho shores togothor. The amount of
this change was not very great, al
though muoh greater than might have
boon expected. At Bldston tho nmount
of dotlcctlon wub about equal to one
Inch In sixteen miles.

LIKE U. S.
-
but Mr. Nelldoff does not denl with
this aspect of tho question.
He sticks to hard facts and these
show him that whllo the emigration
from Russia formerly consisted chief
ly of Jews, Finns, Germans and LettB,
pure Russians now tako tho first place,
Poles and LettB occupying the second.
In 1907 our Russian writer found on
Ellis Island Russians from the gov
ernments of Smolensk, Moglleff, Cher
nlgoff and Vollnsky. Now he finds
them from the central governments
and even from beyond the Volg. Tho
emigration Is kept up by the emigra
tion companies, who aro ob active in
Moscow as they are In Tokyo and who
havo behind them American manufac
turers, hungry for .cheap labor.
Casts Real Pearls to Swine.
St Louis. A second valuable pearl
found around Hardin, Calhoun county,
III., was discovered by James Ontls
In his hog pen. 'it Is what Is called a
high-button pearl and weighed 54
grains.
Mr. Ontls sold It for $900 In Hardin
to 8. L. Fltts, a pearl buyer, who two
weeka ago purchased for $1,000 a
pearl from two shelters which was
found near Hardin.
Ontls, who Is engaged In shelling on
the Illinois river, near Hardin, feeds
tho clams to his hogs. Tho pearl had
evidently been thrown with the clams
Into the hog trough.
Cut Pacific
They Will All Disappear In Thirty
Five Years If Present Rate la
Maintained.
Seattle, Wash. From tho reports of
all the counties in the timbered sec
tion of Washington It la shown that
there tire 21:1,000,000,000 feet of stand
ing timber In the state. Tho reports
wero made by cruisers for taxation
purposes and are believed to be ac
curate. This Immense forest is being made
into lumber at the rate or 0,000.000,
000 feet a year. At tho present mar
ket prico tho lumber mado last year
was worth $15 a thousand, making
the cut for 1909 valued at about $90,
000,000. It is estimated that fully two
thirds, or $06,000,000 represents the
nmount of money paid to labor.
According to the latest statistics,
Washington leads In the production of
on the Land
In thus securing a measurement of
tho deflection caused by tho tldo Pro
fessor Milne has succeeded -where
others have failed. Many years ago
he showed that our ordinary, appar
ently stable English valleys opened
when the sun fell upon thorn and con
tracted during tho night. He nlsn
showed that apparently tho whole of
tho Iolo of Wight tilts up at high wa
ter owing to the greater weight of the
water In tho English channel us com
pared with that In the Solent. '
His latest work Is the complement
of earlier research and tends to show
that tho earth is a great deal more
olastlc and responsive to pulls and
strains than Is commonly appreciated.
Dives to Escape Bees.
York, Pa. Walter Dashler, a
WrlghtBvlllo youth, leaped Into the
Susquehanna river tho other day to
t-scapo tho Btlngs of a swarm or bees
which ho had attempted to hlvo. Ho
could not swim, and was taken from
the water buroly In time to escape
drowning.
Dashlor undertook to hive tho bees,
which had settled upon a treo. In
stead or entering the hive, tho bees
buzzed about his head and body until
tortured "beyond enduranco by thoir
stings ho made a rush for the river
and dived In.
There he was rid of the boes, but he
was beyoud his depth.

BILLS TO INCREASE BABIES
Measures Intended to Burden Bach
elors Are Offered In French
Parliament.
Paris. Prof. Lannelongue, senntor
and member of tho Institute of
France, has Introduced in the senate
legislative measures designed to In
crease tho birth rate of France, fol
lowing tho result of tho census re
cently completed under tho direction
of M. Bertlllon, tho statistician. The
senator proposes:
1. Additional military service for
celibates more than twenty-nlno years
old. "If they will not servo their
country by rearing children they must
servo It In other ways," Bays Professor
Lannelongue.
2. Obligatory marriage for all gov
ernment employes, high and low, moro
than twenty-five years old, because
"functionaries should set an example
to other citizens." The senator urges
that all government salaries be made
adequate for the support of a family.
3. Give the father the right to be
queath his property without restric
tions, repealing the present law re
quiring an equal division among tho
children. "This removes tho father's
fear that the fortune will be dissipated
among many children and also accus
toms the children to relying upon
thoir own powers Instead of waiting
for their patrimony."
Professor Lannelonguo's project Is
supported by many members of the
five learned academics constituting
the Institute of Franco.
Coast Forests
lumber, and during 1909 shipped 45,
000 cars of shingles and 85.000 cars of
lumber. Tho lumber and shingles to
taled 1,800,000,000 feet Over 1.200.
000,000 feet of lumber was sent to for
eign parts and to coast towns, and
this, added to the homo consumption,
or 1,600,000,000, makes the annual pro
duction of lumber by tho sawmills of
the state total over 6,000,000,000 feet.
One-half the area of the state or 35,
000 square miles Is timbered, Tho
timber of the state would make a
plank road throe Inches thick and 500
feet wldo around tho earth. It would
load 10,000,000 cars of 200,000 feet
each 45 reet long, equal to 85.227
miles or trains. These cars would
reach nearly three and one-hair times
around the world.
A six or eight-room house ror five
people each requires about 40,000 feet
or lumber. Tho timber or this state
would build 5.000.000 such hoiiRPs.
which would bo sufficient to house
one-third or tho population or tho
United States.
The density or the forests or Wash.
lngton Is unequaled In any other sec
tion of the world. In Clallam nmi
Cheltalls counties, according to offi
cial estimates, tho entire timbered
area runs 20,000,000 to tho square
mile. The stand on smaller areas Is
phenomenal. In Clnllam rnnntv nn
acre was recently found to have 300,
000 reet or standing timber.
A Pacific county mill cut 500,000
reel or logs rrom n little less than
two acres. Tho logs nverngo rrom
12,000 to 15,000 reet each, and would
present a serious problem to tho mill
equipment of the timbered Bectlon or
the upper Mississippi region.
