The Earthquakes Of History.

TT is estimated by geologists that more
Il than one-eighth of the entire surface of
the earth has been subject to the disturb
ing influence of earthquake shocks. The
most disastrous one of which there is any
record was the third destruction Of Anti
och from this cause, in 526 A. d. Accord
ing 70 the great historian, Gibbon, $50, 900
persons perished at this time, as thousands
of strangers increased the population of the
city, belonging to the festival of the Ascen-
sion, which occurred at that time. The
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions which
buried the cities of Pompeii and Herculan-
cum are too familiar to require allusion.
OF the most disastrous of modern catastro-
phes of this sort have been those of Lisbon,
in 1866, and of New Madrid, in Missouri,
in 1911. The former commenced on No
'vember 1. A loud rumbling was followed
almost Immediately by a fearful shock
which demolished the principal buildings of
the city, and in the short space of six min-
utes it is estimated that 10000 persons
were killed. The tide ON Che sea coast ran
out rapidly, leaving the bar perfectly dry,
and as rapidly an enormous wave thirty
feet in height rushed in again, sweeping
everything before it. The mountains in
the neighborhood were shaken violently,
deep assures rent in the valleys, crags top
pied over, and rocks were hurled into the
abysses, bearing everything before them.
Thousands of people rushed for safety to
the marble quarry which had just been con-
structed at an enormous expense, when sud-
denly it sank, carrying its load with it, and
over the spot the water stood 600 feet deep.
All the shipping Of the harbor was sunk
instantly, and hardly a vestige of the life
and prosperity of the famed capital remain
ed. The most important Of the earth
quakes which have ever occurred in this
country, of which we have any record, was
that of New Madrid, Mo- Over three hum
dred miles Of country, from the mouth of
the Ohio to that of the st. Francis, rose

A Modern Mummy.

The Egyptian mummy, in the library of
the Capitol at Nashville, furnished ma
terial for perpetrating little joke few
days since. A great many visitors from
the country were visiting the capitol, and
the oft-recurring question was, "Where's
the mummy" DR.. Morrow, who enjoys a
joke, had passed into the Comptroller's
office, where he found Col. Pennebaker on
a lounge taking nap. Returning to his
own Office, he was met by party consist
ing of several ladies, with the inquiry:
Where's the mummy"

tor, and taking the lead he conducted them
to the door of the Comptroller's office.
Pointing to the outstretched form of Pen
nebaker, lying still as death: "That, la
dies" said he, "is the mummy he is sup
posed to be 3, 500 years old"
After few timid glances at the mum
my the party retired with EXPLANATIONS of
wonder that the art of preservation had
ever arrived at such perfection.

A Glimpse Of the Other World.

Mrs. Gardiner, wife of a Michigan farmer
recently died under circumstances the most
extraordinary. Two of her sisters were
dead, one but lately, one few weeks ago.
The cause of Mrs. GARDENERS death was a
congestive chill, and after she had been
considered dead for six hours, and was be-
ing prepared for the grave, she returned to
consciousness and talked freely with her
attendants. She stated to those around
her that she had been to the better land
and had seen both Of her departed sisters
with other friends that it was a most
beautiful land--beyond all description She
said that she had permission TO return to
tell living friends of what she had seen but
that she was anxious to return again. She
passed away soon after making her state
ment and seemed overfiowing with Joy and
happiness. The Detroit Tribune says that
there can be no question as to the cir
cumstances above stated.

and property was enormous. The city of
Caracas, in Venezuela, was overwhelmed in
1919, and 1900 citizens buried in its ruins.
