HUMBoLprs EXPERIENCE OF EARTH
QUAKEs. Humboldt, who Witnessed sever.
al earthquakes, says that one never gets
used to them, but on the contrary, his feell
ings Of dread are intensified at each success
sive one which he experiences All beasts
and birds partake of mans fear and seem
panic-st,icken. Humboldt accounts for
mems inability TO Became accustomed TO,
and consequently not to dread earthquakes,
by saying that, whatever we have at any
ti,pe or under any circumstances considered
shaky, the earth has always stood firm, and
when Ne ind that tossing beneath our feet,
it sec,hs at though the every bottom of
things had been Knocked out. Every time
the snock is repeated, the unreliability' Of
cur only support is forced upon our atten-'
tion with augmented force. Other dangers
can. be foreseen and provided against, but
this is inevitable and remorseiess.
