SCHEDULE BEAflY FOR BIG JHY TAFTOM fTrf? Will Be the Longest That Has Ever Been Made by a President of the United States. " - I. . FOURTEEN THOUSAND MILES TO BE COVERED

Great Hole Will Be Eaten in The Appropriation Made to Cover Traveling Expenses Of Executive. Beverly, Mass., Aug. 18.-Schedulea Cor what Is expected to prove the longest railroad Jaunt which a president of the United States has ever taken were rompleted at the temporary executive! roffloas yesterday. They cover every detail of the trip of President Taft through the west and south from the time lie leaves Beverly on the afternoon of September 14 for Boston, until Ibis arrival In Washington on November 11. The schedules were forwarded to the railroad which will have charge ml the president's train for examination and printing. Only Theodore Roosevelt has made traveling record like that outlined for Mr. Taft. In 1903, when Mr. Roosevelt took his famous swing in the west wad south he totaled 13.976 miles. As originally planned the Taft trip ran under this, but It has now been raised to 13,000, with the expectation that changes will be made In the route 'which will bring the total mileage to mt least 14,000. Will Keep Moving. The president will not stop traveling when he reaches Washington. Leaving probably on the evening of the day his train pulls into the union station he will go to Mlddletown and New Haven, Conn. When he has returned from that journey he will go Immediately to Norfolk, Va. There will be a large hole made in that appropriation of $25,000 made by congress for the president's , traveling expenses. With the cost of the transportation entailed by the moving of the White Chouse offices from Washington to overly and back and the shorter trips laid out the appropriation will -fee, practically all used up before the tend of the calendar' year. Owing to the state of the appropriation President Taft will travel attached to regular trains for the greater Ipart of the 14,000 mile trip. Based jupon the expenses of the Roosevelt lapecial train, which traveled a route rvery close to that of President Taft, fehe expense of a special train of eight hears would have, totaled about $00,000. Will Cost 8emethlng. The rate for an engine to draw the president and his train Is $2 per mile; each car costs a minimum of $45 per 'day, and there is In addition a considerable sum for commissary supplies. (The only trip made by a president (which rivaled President Roosevelt's up to the time the Taft schedule was Arranged was that made by President fMcKlnley to the Pacific ooast in 1901. This was shortened by the illness of ItMrs. ' Mckinley, which necessitated a return to Washington. While it is comparatively simple to ,arrange a schedule for a special train, the mapping out of a schedule for the transportation of a president for 14..000 miles almost entirely by regular ;tralns Is a gigantic task. E. D. 8mlthers of the executive offices, has been sitting up nights for weeks working out the saving of 10 minutes in some Arizona town and making flying connection at some other point. Mr. Smlthers has been dubbed the "Harriman" of this administration. Closing the Program. With the railroad schedules completed Secretary Carpenter is rapidly closing the programs in the large cities which the president will visit. There will be a printed program for each, and when the president leaves a cheering crowd a printed sheet will tell him exactly what is expected of him when the train halts again and at what hours of the day. Today he agreed to accept an invitation for an automobile ride at Houston, Texas, and to speak from Rice's hotel. There will be an afternoon reception and a banquet when he arrives at Charleston. 9. C, and at Columbus, Miss. He will lunch at the Stephen D. Lee house, attend a barbecue and visit the Girls' Industrial school. : IF YOU HAVEN'T TRIED THE . .GREAT ROOT JUICE Ask Your Friends Who Have.

The Solution of tho Differ on oe In Woiflht ef the Box at Capo Nome and t Sen Franoioeo Tho Clever Move of an Astute Young Lawyer. One of the meet Interesting trials that ever teek place In any country was that ef Jesses Stevens la the California courts for theft. The circumstances were as follows: There were four prospectors in the Klondike regiea when the geU fever there was at Us height, among whom Stevens was one. They "suvack M rich," divided up and started eat for the United States. Just before leaving Stevens get into a fare game and lost everything he bad. Winter was coming on and he bade fair to starve unless something was dene for him. So the ether three decided to pay him so much to guard then- daet en the ship and pay his way heme to Sao Franeiaco. Tbey each had their share ef dust and nuggets accurately weighed and then pet theaa ' into a common pile, pending, ef course, their reapportleameat ea reaching port. This they plaoed in a strong box which tbey malted up and sealed carefully. It was Ste-eans' duty te watch this by day and sleep by It by night until, the destyoatAea was reached. There was exactly 200 pounds avoirdupois of the gold; ewern to by a regular weigher. It was worth a great deal of money. Well, everything went along smoothly until San Francisco was reached, Stevens seeming te appreciate what his former partners were doing for him and guarding his trust Jealously. When the ship came Into port the box was immediately removed, under the supervision of Stevens, to a place of rewelghing, so that each could take his share again and deduct so much for Stevtae" pay. It was found that instead of having 600 pounds of geld as before there was now only a fraction ever 506 pounds. The partners were loath to distrust Stevens and had it rewelghed twice, bat with the sane result each time. Reassured as they were ef bis guilt and having contempt for such ingratitude, they Ian mediately swore out a warrant for bis arrest. He all the time pretested his innocence, but was not able te account far the lees. The poor fellow was thrown into prison aad held for trial. Net having any mosey er friends, he gave up oil hope of being acquitted, as the circumstantial evidence sae ed absolutely against him. . A yenng lawyer was appointed bj the court te defend Mm. This yenng man, Tbaddeus Wayne by name, set te week on the seemingly hopeless job with great enthusiasm, aa he had few clients anyhow and plenty of time. The case was soon called and all the circumstantial evidence set forth. Wayne did net even quesUea a witness. When all the testimony was in Wayne requested the Judge to allow him to qualify Samuel L. Johnson, teacher of physics in a high school, as an expert witness. The Judge, not seeing any . relation of physics to the theft, was about to refuse the young man when a peculiar glimmer in the latter eye persuaded aim to humor the boy. Johnson was placed on the stand, and tie following eelloquy en"With w has-dees phyaits deair "With natural phenomena, or the changes in tae state er condition of matter." "Dees the weight ef a person change as he changes his location on the earthr Tea."Just how dees that happen, and how much does the weight change?"

x' enohld say'abont one in 3uO" "Then gold weighing Qua pounds in Nome cauld not possibly weigh ever S98 pounds here, could it?" "It could net" It is needless te say that Stevens was acquitted on this evidence. His former partners wens so sorry or their rerent suspicion and so eager to make amends that tbey net only paid him the salary they had promised him, but set him np la business faom their ample funds. This fact is peculiar, but perfectly In accord with reason. It is recognized by tho Suited States government. Every time nuMea is sent from Washington to the New Orleans mint a certain amount of weight Is lest la the mere act ef transit. So In order to get tb same amount ef metal in each coin compensating weights or those special ly calibrated have to be used or else special scales. If the weights are made at Washington and sent to New Orleans of course they will lose in weight and will weigh true on a pair of balances. But spring balances cannot be used.

Speed Manifested More In tho Motions Than In tho Results. "Barbers," remarked the man with the short hair, "are born unable to hurry.

"That barber bee ea try believed he was hurry leg. but be couldn't leave out these little snip-snips about the back ef the neck they are all so fond of doing, and he had to cut the hair as If ha were ohiseliog priceless marble.

"I begin te believe nacre Is some sort ef rule regarding time that all barbers observe, because I have timed them. Oace I asked a barber to hurry shaving me, and he had all the motions. but took up just as much time as when he want along at his usual gait. "I imagine they believe the customer will be satisfied with the appearance of speed, and that's the reason they run around so and breathe heavily as If winded wuen changing from one side of the chair to she other."

WARWM6 SIGNS OF SHOCKS. Pliny Saye They Won Shewn In the Air, Cleude and Water and by Animals The Two Monet sine The Crashed Together end Then Receded. If we cease history te dad to what causes the ancients attributed earthquakes wa tad that the Babylonians believed that sal occurrences of the kind were due te the Influence of the stars, especaally of the three te which they assrtbed thunder namely. Saturn. Jupiter end Mara. The seers of the day believed that these disturbances were caused by the stars moving with the sun er being In conjunction with It, mere particularly when the scans were-In the quartlle aspect. PMny chronicles the report concerning one Anaximander, n Milesian, who warned the Lacedaemonians to beware ef their city and houses. And legend has It that the city was soon afterward destroyed. Pliny, who wrote bis natural history in A. D. 77, conceived that earthquakes were caused by the winds, as "the earth never trembles except when the ma Is quite calm and when the heavens are so tranquil that the birds cannot maintain their flight, all the air which should support them being withdrawn. Nor does It ever happen until after great winds, the gust being pent up, as it were, in the fissures and concealed hollows. Many scientists have observed that all great convulsions of nature are likely to be preceded by calms; also that birds and animals generally ex hibit certain presentiments of the event, facts whleh the wise men of ancient days noted aad accounted for In their different ways. Pliny says: "When an earthquake occurs there la often sound without any motion. When there Is motion It is tremulous and vibratory. The clefts of the earth sometimes remain, displaying what has been swallowed up, sometimes concealing it, the mouth being clesed aad the soil brought over It. the city being, aa it were, engulfed, devoured. Maritime districts are more especially subject te shocks. Nor are mountainous districts exempt. I hare found the Alps and the Apennines frequently shaken by them. The shocks happen mere frequently in the autumn and the spring. Tbey also happen more freeueatly to the night than In the day. The greatest shocks are in the morning and the evening, but they often take place at daybreak. They also take place daring eclipses of the moon, because at that time storms are lulled. Tbey are most frequent when neat heat succeeds to showers or showers succeed te great beat.' Pliny further says: There Is no doubt that earthquakes are felt by persons on shipboard. There are many signs for the mariner beforehand, hew ever. The timbers of the vessel creak. The birds that settle en the vessel are not without their alarms. There Is also a sign in the heavens, for when a shock Is near at head, either in the daytime or a little after sunset cloud Is stretched out in the clear sky like a long, thin line. The water la wells is more turbid than usual, and it emits a disagreeable odor." In describing the various kinds of shocks and expanding on bis Investigations on the subject Pliny remarks that "arched buildings are the safest; also the ancles of wails and walls made of bricks suffer least. The earth movement that resembles the rolling of waves is the most dangerous, or when the motion 1s Impelled In one direction. The tremors cease when the vapors have burst forth, but If there be no escape of vapor of any kind then the tremors may continue for forty days. They have been known to continue for two years." The historian records the greatest "prodigy of the earth" as having occurred in the district of Mutlna during the consulship of Lucius Martina and Sextus Julius, when "two mountains rushed together, falling upon each other with a very loud crash aad then receding, white ia the daytime smoke and vapor Issued from them." Pliny says the wonder was witnessed by "a great crowd ef Roman knights and travelers along the AemHian way." The same writer says: "The greatest earthquake which occurred In our memory was in the reign of Tiberius, by whtch twelve cities of Asia ware laid prostrate In ene night. During the Punic war we had accounts of fifty-seven earthquakes in one year. Nor is it aa evil merely consisting to the danger which la produced by the motion; it is an equal or greater evil when it hi considered as a prodigy. The city of Rome never experienced a shock that waa act the forerunner of some great calamity." Pliny, of course, takes a good many of his accounts from Aristotle, but hit references to events are confirmed by other witters. Herodotus describes a great disturbance in his day, when "the sea came beyond Memphis, aa fat as the mountains ef Ethiopia, and also from the plains of Arabia. The sea also surrounded Ilium and the whole of Teuihranis aad covered the plain through which the Meander nowa." Pliny makes actual mention of one of the Aeolian Islands bavtag "emerged from the sea." It was a matter of common belief among the scientists of Pliny's day that 8iclly waa torn from Italy by such a disturbance. Hew York World. , He who sows brambles must sot barefoot um Proverb.
