The Phenomena "a Earthquakes.

FFOm Inc 9eOpie Magazine.
In earthquakes we see the conserva-
tive agency of fire called in to counter
act the destructive agency of water
Wind and rain, heat and cold, are con-
tinually at work rending in pieces and
grinding down the solid rock: the dis
integrated portions of rock form the
soil of the lowlaHds, and this in its turn
Is eaten away by running streams, swept
dswn by heavy rains, to be carried by
the rivers and deposited In the sea. It
is thus that the shadows and great river
deltas are formed; and the materials so
brought down are gradually by the
action of the waves distributed over the
bed of the ocean. This action, if sui
fered to continue without Interrupt
ton, would in time level the highest
mountain ranges and in the place of
a varied surface of land and water there
would be a uniform shallow sea cover
ing the whole earth. Here the working
of fire steps in to counteract the des-
tructive agency of water It acts sud
denly and with terrific force, and there
fore it is more noted and more feared
than the work which is done so silently
and slowly yet SO irresistibly, by the
gentle flow of rivers. Of one thing we
are sure, that they are caused by the in
ternal heat of the earth. They usually
occur in volcanic regions; they are fire.
quently accompanied by volcanic erup-
tions; during their continuance flames
are said to burst from the earth, springs
OF boiling water rise from the soil, and
new volcanoes have been raised as
their result. We know that at COM
paratively small depth below the sur
face of the globe there is temperature
very far exceeding anything which we
experience at the surface. Whether we
accept the hypothesis of a vast central
fire, or consider that this heat is gener-
ated by chemical action or by electric
currents, we know that there are stored
up beneath our feet vast reservoirs of
heat. What gases are stored under
pressure IN the cavities of the earth we
know not. But we know that the in-
creased expansive force of an elastic
nuld under a comparatively small in
crease of temperature would be suffi
cIent to rend asunder the solid rock
and produce the effects we see.
6erhaps issure so opened
may admit wafer to the heated
nucleus, there to be instantly con
verted into steam with an increase of vol
ume. This eXerting enormous pressure
against the rocky walls of the cavity in
which 1t is formed causes a wave of
compression in the zone of the rock i'm
mediatelv surrounding If, and this wave
IS propagated onward through the rock
inst as q wave travels through water.
The confined fluid strikes the walls of
prison chamber fierce blow, and this
causes shudder to run through the
e}rth, which passes along the surface of
9 shock, whose intensity is the only
measure we have ofthe forces causing it.

EDWIN BOOTH has never been in Wash
lngton since the death of his brother,
after the assassination of President
Lincoln. Before he left Montreal on his
last trip to Washington, Wilkes Booth
deposited s., 900 in gold in the Bank of
Montreal. 1t is there now. His mother
has legal right to draw the money, but
she refuses to do so, and her living sons
refuse to allow her to touch it. There
it remains, and there it will remains I'M
til the time provided by the law for its
retention has expired. Then it will go
to the British government, and become
part of the fortune of the crown. The
officers of the bank are anxious to get
rid of the deposit, and have several
times written to the relatives of the de-
positor The latter have been uniformly
firm in refusing it, but they have never
given any reasons for so doing.

THE Mobile Register says that aside
from yellow fever, whose ravages as to
fatality are light N comparison with
.former yellow fever years, the season
just passed has been extraordinarily
sickly in that city Febriel diseases,
in their multifarious forms, have been
prevalent to a degree never before
known. 1t is common belief that
there have been some unusual causes,
local or otherwise, for the general in
salubrity. Why pestilence should settle
on locality of SO limited an extent,
and not spread to contiguous settle
ments, except when carried there on the
bodies of patients already under its in
fuence, is matter of serious and mos
important inquiry. Some persons have
taken up the idea that the deposits of
Peruvian guano in large quantities in
various stores in the city have some
thing to do with it. The Register calls
upon the authorities to make full and
careful examination into the subject.

A PAIR OF SPIEs.-Two peasants were
shot, the other day, near Paris, for con-
veying information. Their way of pro-
ceeding was as follows: Having dis
covered where the last German sentinel
was placed, one peasant came up
through the German lines pretending
that he was going to gather grapes IN
his field, which happened to be just
outside of the Prussian boundary. OF
course the sentinel refused to let him
pass. While he is gesticulating and
pleading his cause, up comes another
blue bloused peasant. ooh, my dear
brother" cries blouse No. 1; how art
thou, and how art thy wife and child
REM" The two brothers embrace, and
each slip packet of letters into the
others blouse under the nose of the SEN.
try. But the other morning sentry
was more suspicious, and he put himself
and his needle-gun between these two
dear brothers and Paris, and sent them
off to the supports in the rear. When
searched whole bundles Of letters were
found on them, and they were at once
shot as spies.
The suicide of a boy ten years old, at
Newcastle, Indiana, the other day, says
an Indianapolis paper, is a singular in
stance of the manner curiosity affects
even the youngest persons. He had a
happy home, kind parents, and good
mind, and there was no earthly cause
why he should seek death. But sui
eide having been committed by hanging
near his home, he was seized with a
morbid curiosity to try the method him
self and see how it felt. The result was
death. Whether his arrangements were
defective, OF whether he lost conscious
ness and was unable to stop the expert
ment when he thought it had gone far
enough, can not of course now be told,
but his sin, for it was sin, was terribly
punished.

WHEN TO CAsrRArE CoLTs.-Many per-
sons hold to the opinion that cold wealth
er is the most suitable time to castrate
colts. Having been engaged in this kind
OF business for six or seven years, my
experience and observation is that May
and September are the most suitable
times. In May there are no flies or 9TH
er insects to torment a colt; and also,
the weather not being hot, the animal
does not resort to the shade. Conse-
quently, keeping out in the open field it
Is natural it viii pick grass and keep I'D
its flesh and strength, and being kept in
moderate exercise, colt Will swell less
than if it remains too much of the time
stationary under shade.
The same reason applies to September.
Ii done In cold weather, the animal will
be apt to be kept housed which should
never be done.-C0r. RlroI World.
