Det Kjendskab, join IordklodenS Beboere har til den Planet, jont de lever paci, er endnu ineget ringe. Jordens Zdre er gonsfe. vist ret n0jc udsorsket baade til Lands og til Bands Astronomer»^ har besternt dens StK-relsc, Form og Na?gt. Men soln Klodens inöre Beskafsenhed svoever de endnu llvidenhed, fin it indirekte on vcd .Tilsaidigheder er det bleven innligt at saa noget at vide. De Jernbanetunneller, som gjennemborer Bjergkjceoer, har knn derart det aller yderste Lag of Iordskorpeu. Tet dybeste Jndhug, der er bleven gjort Jordens Jndre, gravedes Aarene 1893—1902 ved Paruschowitz men selv den Kljüft, der her aabnedes, blev ikke mere end en Haiti Kilometer dyb altsaa fun et ubetydeligt Rids Klodens tykke Hud.

Jeg har allerede for flere Aar sideu udtalt den Anskuelse, at man videnskabeligt §?jemed bürde udbore en 93r0nb saa dybt Jordens Jndre, fdlm den moderne JngeniFrkunsts Hjcelpemidler tillader det. Tenne Tanke blev den Gang asvist as Geologerno, der viste hen til dels de mange Jordskjoelv, dels den saakaldte Aggregationstilstand Jordens Indre. Det store Spxlrgsmacil er: er vor Jords Jndre en fast eller en flydende Masse? Fra de celdste Tider har Videnskabsmoend syslet med LxisHingen af dette Problem. Men Nefultatet af alle Forskninger har dog beeret utilsredsstillende.

Ten hidtil almindeligt antagne Theori har dog turret den, at Planetens Masse ct flydcnde, og maaske tilmed gasförmig Tilstand, og at denne Masse omgives of en tynd Skal eller Skorpe fast Form. Den Opfattelfe, at Fordens Jndre er gl0 dende allerede en Dybde af 70 of SO Kilometre (10 oil Mil) er bygget paa Kjendskab til Temperaturen, soin observeres dybe Gruber, og til den vulkanske Iii), som viser sin Virkning den glxidende Lava, der strides op til Jordens Overflade Men den moderne Geologi er og ikke uden Grund mindre tilbxlje tig til at antage, at vi Mennesker fluide lebe paa en brcendende ©irteL tedigels fkr^belige Loog. Hbis virke fig Jordens Jndre befondt fig flybeiibe Tilstond, saa sknlde Salens og Maanens forenede Tiltrcekningskraft have den Virkning paa denne eiior me bevcegelige Masse, at der to Gange T^gnet fremkaldtes mceg tige Gl^idbxilger, der med Lethed vil 6e fprcenge Jordfkorpen.

Eg med den Fare bleb Jorden umulig at bebo. Vi maatte da lebe bestandig Angst for pludseligt at Mibe opslngtc af en eller onden Kl0ft, font nctar som heist kunde- aabne fig for bore Fodder.

De öllerfenefte Theorier figer da ogsaa,at Jordens indre Masser sandfynligvis er omtrent ligesaa fast og ftcerk fom Staalet, men at den samtidigt er elastifk. Det er imidlertid kun en Antagclfc, og in gen ejer endnu Besternte Oplysningcr oirt Forholdene under bore Fodder. Vi reber gansken cer det store ubekjendte.

Smart Styles

Rarely has there been such an interest in style in shoes. The prevailing skirts have made them as important as hats.

Women who have never been able to endure dress shoes, can put on their Red Cross models and begin wearing them at once.

The Red Cross Shoe has done away with untold cases of foot suffering.

It fits at every point, supports the foot perfectly so as to remove all strain. Its sole bends with your foot, entirely prevents the smarting and burning stiff soles cause.

The Red Cross Shoe never needs I'breaking in." You can put it on in our store and wear it home, it is eo

Lüstlingen af bette Problem er tydeligt ltof af sturste Interesse, og Tanken om at fonftruere en Tunnel, der streifte fig dybt ned Jorden, bürde med Iber rib es af alle, da ct saabant Eksperiment fan blibe af uburberlig Betybniug for Menneske heben.

Hvorledes kan vi konstruere en faadan Tunnel? Vi maa nsdbendigbis. grabe os 4 a 5 Kilometer ned

Dybet. Tunnellcn maa habe en Diameter af minbst 300 Meter og forfynes meb modstandsdygtig Jern« og Staalbekloebning. Den ubgrabebe Jorb kan man henfigtsmeesfigst Benyttei til at udfylde et eller an bet Hab. Ubgravningen mija bog helft ikke foretages Noerheben af Habet, ba man rifikerer dettes Stigning og en deraf folgende Obersvpmmelse. Midten af Frankrig, 9httna?nicii eller Nusland synes mig de Bebst egnebe Plabscr. De ubgravvbe Jordmasser transporteres pr. JcruBone til Kystcrne, hvorved Europa udvides med et stört Styt'k'e Landoinraade.

Jeg noebnede obenober, at Temperaturen rtaat Kogepunftet omtrent 3 Kilometers Dybde. Men fot at tibforffe Iordskorpeu bfibcf' det n^dvendigt at treenge endnu dybere ned. Hvor ringe er demto Distance ikke ogsaa imod de Tusider as Kilometer, der ligger mellem Jordens Uderrond og dens Centrum.

Den Tanke salder uvilfoorlig ind, at en Meengdc Hindringcr bil stille fig Vejen for en foodon Udgrovnings Virkeliggj^relse: Hede, underjordiske Floder osv. Men de Hindringer kan let sorndses og afvo?rges. Fryfemaffinen vil nok her komme til at fpille en stor Nolle ved at gibe Fugtigheden fast Form, forhindre alt for ftcerk Varme og t0rre Jordmasferne.

Men hborfra fkol de Penge komme, hbormed denne Trollt kan reolisercs? At d^mme efter de talrigc ffriftlige Henbendelfer, jeg har mobtaget, bit sikkert et stört Bei0b tilflyde bed Subskription og frivillige Gavcr, og meegtige Millioncercr bil fiffert gibe meget for at blive den, der faar Tunnellen bygget paa fit Landoinraadc.

Subskription med det Forntaal at muliggj0rc Kvempeforetageudet.

Efter min Mening Bürde dette ArBcjde ikke Beh0ve at koste en 0re. Det kunde udf0res af de Soldater og Vcernepligtigc fom tut Bort0der cit kostBar Tid tit iitgeit Nytte for Menneffeheden. Sknlde man ikke knnns famte en faadan Amte fra alle Verdens Nationer?

Tenne Jde om at tranige ind Jorbens Jttbre er, fom sagt, ingettlunbe ny. Den har beeret fremme ftere Gange Aarhuttbrcibernes 206 ja, Voltaire og Maupcrtiiic har enbba fin Tib biBkuteret out at gjenncntBore hete Jorbkloben.

Den Tanke er enbitu mere gigatttifk, enbitu mere tiltra'fkenbe. Men den bifer fig destoboerre umulig at gjemiemf0re.

Hbortedes bilde det gm en Ting, der fallit gjennem en faadan Tuitnet fra ct Punkt af Jordens Overflade til et emdet paa den modsatte ibc? Det ligger iteur at antage, at en faadan Gjenstand vilde staitbfe

Men bemte Theori er fejlagtig, forbi TiltrcefHingen dette Centrum fornden at naa fit Mafsimuin ogsoa naar sit Miitimnm, hbilfet vil sige, at den ikke har nogen som Heist Virkning.

Hvor lcenge vil det tage et Legenie ot tilbnlo'ggc Tiftoncen ind til Jordens Centrum?

Efter de fcedvanlige Tyngedlovsberegninger vil Tnren tage ca. 48 Minntler. ilVeti hü is vi center os Tnnnellens Jndgangspnft Paa et af Sybamerifas Bjergplateoner og dens Udmunding H0jde med Hovoverfloben, sao vil et Legeine, ber faider fra det forste Sted, naar det naoer det fidftc, flynges op Nmninct til en H0jde af ca. 2,000 Meter.

Facts About Motherhood

The experience of Motherhood is a trying one to most women and marks distinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hun-

iproperly care for herself. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at the time of child-birth, but many approach the experience with

LYDIA E PINKHAM

an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when the strain is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change the mother results.

There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother ot children, and indeed child-birth under right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, women will persist in going blindly to the trial.

It isn't as though the experience came upon them unawares. They have ample time in which to prepare, but they, for the most part, trust to chance and pay the penalty.

In many homes once childless there are now children because of the fact that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy, and strong.

Any woman who would like special advice in regard to this matter is cordially invited to write to Mrs. Pinkliam at Lynn, Mass. Her letter will be held in strict confidence.

Jerry Miller, An Esteemed MMOf

Of Mr. Business lUn Elkhorn, Who Passed Away, Tuesday.

After a long illness, suffering with a hemorrhage of the lungs caused by tuberculosis, Jerry Miller died at his home Tuesday morning at 7 o'clock. He was not at the time thought teriously ill but at the breakfast table Me suffered a relapse which caused his death.

Jerry Miller was one of thS oldest and most esteemed business men of Elkhorn, having been in businesshere for twelve years, and has helped improve the town to its present statewith his always willing, generousnature. His departure from our midst will be grieved by his townspeople, by his family and all who had the good fortune to ike his acquaintance.

Mr. Miller was practically a young man, being only

5*6

cause for his early departure for the great beyond can probably be attributed to hisearly life in the Colorado mines.

The sympathizing townspeople hoisted the Stars and Stripes at half mast and closed their places of bus!» hess during the burial at the Local Lutheran Church, where the last sad rites were performed by Rev. Jersild in the presence of about 500 people Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Mr. Miller leaves a mourning wife and three children who will never lorget their good husband and father who was loyal to all. Peace to his Memory.
