The THEoRY or EAKrHoUAKEs.--Prof
Rogers, of Glasgow University, Scotland, n
the course Of a lecture delivered on recent
Wednesday, in the Merchants Hall, on
''Vslcanic Action, with Special Reference to
the Theory Of Earthquakes p treated Of the
different species Of volcanic eruptions such
as hot steam, lava, stones, earth, etc, and
then proceeded to the special subject Of
earthquakes. These, he said, were composed
Of pulsating motion, which was Of colossal
magnitude, and connected with which was
jarring--a shudder Of the earth-
accompanied by cracking Of the rocky
matter. An earthquake took its time 70
minute, and observers could consequently
calculate its velocity. Il was composed Of
a group Of advancing waves, and its average
period Of oscillation was two of1three min
utes, In the year 1912 the town Of Carac-
cas-, in South America, was destroyed, and
the valley Of the Mississippi was also Affect
ed. The back-Woodsmen in the western
states at that period, who had their senses
all awake, discovered that this earthquake
came from the direction Of the Mississippi,
and that when the earth yawned The assures
ran north and south To save themselves
being ingulfed, they cut down trees, which
they caused to fall east and west, and so
soon as they felt the tremulous movement
they left their cabins and bestrode the trees.
The result Of the investigations which be bad
made into several earthquakes that had oc-
Cured in the West Indies and in America
was, that the undulating waves in the inte-
rior Of the earth moved forward at a speed
Of from twenty-seven to thirty-four miles per
minute, leaving crust upon the rocks with
which they came in contact In some parts
Of the world the earthquakes had completely
changed the surface Of the earth; thesWamps
Of Missouri having, for instance, been trans
formed into rich soil, dotted with shallow
lakes. A port at tho mouth Of the Indus
had been sunk beneath the surface Of the
water; and the strata Of the Allegheny
Mountains also bore marks Of the influence
Of these underground currents

b@- A waggish chap, whose vixen wife,
by drowning, lost her precious life, called
out his neighbors all around, aud told them
that his spouse was drowned; and, in spite
of search could not be found. He kuew
he said, the very nook where she had tum-
bled in the brook, and he had dragged
along the shore, above the place, mile or
more. Above the place !" the people
cried, "why, what dye mean?" The man
replied "Of course you don't suppose I'd
go aud waste the time to look below! Pve
known the spell, and learnt her fashions
toPble well; alive or dead, she'd 60, |
swow, against the current anyhow.

p9- knowledge may slumber in the
memory, but it never does; it is like dor
mouse in the ivied tower, that sleeps while
winter lasts, but awakes with the warm
breath Of spring.
