Both earth and sea have been shaken
recently by earthquakes. About the mid
die of May several towns in the United
States of Colombia were destroyed by earth
convulslons Of terrific character. Just
previous to that shock of similar nature
had been experienced in some portions of
Chill, Last week our Western States were
visited by manifestations of that power
which moves the solid hills and rocks the
earth as in the hollow of the Masters hand
Nor were these workings of Nature con-
fined to the earth. They troubled the sea,
and lashed the waves as if tempest had

4th of June off the West India Islands.
which lasted fully ten minutes, and was so
violent as to alarm both officers and crew.
The air was filled with loud rumbline
noise, and several submarine explosions
were heard. The atmosphere was also hot
and stltiin9 during the continuance of the
phenomena. The hardest of these shocks
have occurred in the neighborhood of the
equator, ana they have extended over a
wide space from east to west. No doubt
islands have been pushed above the water
of the ocean by upheavals of the character
experienced by the vessel which brought
the late news to New York, while in other
cases a totally different effect has been pro
duced. Thus the mighty forces of Nature
are constantly producing and destroying
There are regions which have almost an

IN the upper or northern portion of South
America was so extended as to reach north
as far as Illinois, and east to the point al

England is having her panic, now. She
is going through what afflicted us in 1873.
Her merchants and bankers are falling by
the score, and for enormously large
amounts. 4 financial crisis fully as dis
tressing as ours is now dawning upon the
richest nation in the world 1t was not
greeubaclls that brought it about, nor a re
dundant currency, nor irredeemable bank
paper. Great Britain enjoys all the adyan-
tages Of u coin currency, and what little
paper money she has is redeemable in
gold upon presentation. To what causes,
then viii her denagogues attribute this
Tevulsion? 1t is now clear that panics
overtake people who have an almost eX-
elusive metallic currency; and might not
be that our panic had other causes than
those TO which it is generally attributed
The Republican party, moreover, IS not in
power IN England, and hence it would seem
possible that paTiics may happen without
being traceable to any special political pre-
dominance.
The recent heavy failures in London,
the New York Bulletin remarks, do not
seem to have produced any very conspic-
uous effect on the financial market. How
ever this may be, there can be no doubt
that the occurrence Of seven failures, COY
ering 100000 600 of liabilities, within two
weeks VIII induce a caution In the bank
ING institutions Of London that viii test
the fabric Of English credit to its very foun
tdations.

a more favorable recored and results than
Milwaukee Wisconsin. 1t enjoys the
advantage of having the best harbor on the
western shore of Lake Michigan its
climate is unexcelled, as is shown by its
tables of mortality, which are lower than
those of any city west of Buffalo, and
around it are some Of the finest wheat
growing land of the continent. For many
years it has been the leading point for the
storage of cereals, and is to-day the greatest
wheat depot in the country. Last year its
receipts of grain of all kinds amounted to
81 ,293, ,269 bushels of -four, the equivalent
of 2,3S0,S19 bushels, and of lumber al ;
100000 feet. Its shipments during the
same period were, grain, %, 755, 100 bushels;
flour, 1852 ,013 bushels, and lumber, 1885,
455 400 feet Its manufacturing industries
are also steadily progressing, and, taken
altogether it will vie with any city in the
Union in point of energy, activity and sol
vency. 1t has great and prosperous fu-
ture lying before it.

The Bucks County HtelJmgeacer, says
\ lady who has resided in the Western
States for many years has recently been visit
ing her relatives in the lower end of this
county. She reports that where she has re-
sided since the advent of the potato bugs the
sole protection against the ravages Of the in
sects has been the application Of Paris green:
and she ridicules the idea that the application
Of Paris green Is in any way injurious to the
tubers All Of the potatoes that she has
eaten for years have been protected from the
bugs by the drug, and she has never felt any
evil effects from it, neither had she ever
heard of any deleterious effects from the ap-
plication of Paris green.

Judge A. T. Ackert, of New York, has
made decision according to Justice.
Catherine White, poor working woman,
purchased sewing machine, covenanting
to pay seventy dollars for it, in regular in,
stalIments, or give the machine up. She
paid siXty-fve dollars, and, owing to the
sickness of her husband, who finally died,
was unable to pay the balance promptly.
The company accordingly took possession
OF the machine by sherifi's process, though
it is said that the she raised the five dollars
at the last moment and offered it to them.
She accordingly sued the company, and
Judge Ackert decides in her favor. The
decision Is made mostly from a techricality
which operates in her behalf; but neyerthe-
less, the law should have broad discrimina-
ton in all such cases. 'The plaintiff" says
Judge Ackert, bought the machine on
the persuasion of an agent 1t was almost
forced upon her on the favorable represen-
tations which the canvassing agent knows
SO well how to present. The removal of
this machine from the plaintiffs premises
was at the instance and under the direction
Of the defendant. He should be held re-
sponsible. Agents and companies should
seek some other way to obtain balances due
ON goods sold"

Carrying bullet for sixty years. The
Danville, New York, Adrertiser tells the
following ."On Friday, May %, Moses
George, of this village, veteran of the war
of 1912, who has passed his eightieth year,
extracted from his groin bullet which was
buried there by the rifle of an Indian, at
the battle of Chippewa, on the 9th day of
July, 1915. The bullet struck the inside
of the right leg near the groin as the soldier
was wheeling into line, and badly shat
tered the thigh bone. The bullet weighs
a full half ounce and is concave on one
side, showing the impress of the bone which
it struck. 1t is somewhat blackened but
beneath thin coating the lead is as pure
and bright as it was over half century
ago, The results of the wound made by
the bullet were very severe. The limb has
shortened six inches or more, and below
the thigh and reaching nearly to the knee
is thickly Scared, where pieces of the shat
tered bone, over fifty in ALL have from time
to time to time worked out The bullet
did not return by its original entrance, but
came to the surface about four inches above,
and was taken out by the veteran himself
without the aid of Instruments. He was
overjoyed to get his eyes on the old enemy
who had worried him so long"
