An Obstinate Sailor.

imprisonment in the hold. Here he re-
manned at bay for several days, hurling
Jumps of coal and iron at all who ven
tured to approach him.
In vain were muskets and revolvers
brought TO bear upon the dauniless
mariner; the darkness Of the hold pre.
vented his assailants from taking good
aim, while he could sec them 80 clearly
that several were injured by his mis-
siics. The skipper, therefore. cstab-
lished a blockade by fastening down the
matches until a passing ship kindly re
inforccd the besiegers and carried the
stronghold by assault. II was then
discovered that the resolute Russian
had made considerable progress with q

A DOUBLE CRIME.

The Wholesale produce and commits
MON store of Mr.. Purvis, on Delaware
avenue, near Vine street, was robbed ON
the night Of October II, 1865.
The safe had been opened apparently
by false keys, and upward of nine thou
sand dollars in greenbacks we're alb
stracted. A package of bonds to the
amount of $4,000 more remained un.
touched.
Two clerks, both young men, usually
slept in the store. August Yerkes had
been in the employ of Mr.. Harrison
Purvis about four years, and enjoyed
the confidence of his employer. Penn.
broke Sharon, the other clerk, had only
recently been taken, but the manner in
which he took hold of the business i'm
pressed Mr.. Purvis 80 much in his favor
that he predicted q successful future for
the young man as very able salesman
and ultimate prominent merchant
Underthis impression he placed implicit
trust in Sharon, and selected him as q
companion Of Yerkes in the storo ct
night.
Both of these young men we're in the
store on the night the robbery occurred;
but when the place was opened in the
morning Sharon was missing and Yerkes
lay on the floor near the safe with Sc
we're cash on the side Of his head, which
had been bleeding profusely, judging
by the amount Of blood on the floor.

Rarthquakes.

The most notable and disastrous earth
quakes on record, il may be said, are
those Of Italy (J26), when 10000
persons perished, and Of Sicily 1G93l,
when 10000 lost their lives. According
to Gibbon, toward 542 each year was
marked with the repetition Of earth
quakes Of nch duration that CONSTANT
nople was shaken above forty days-of
such extent that the shock was com
municated to the whole surface Of the
empire. At Antioch quarter Of a
million persons are said 10 have persisted.
This period Of earthquake and plague
t5f2-0 was the period when the
superior planets were in perihelion, as
they are now. Arabian and Persian
chronicles record III earthquakes be-
tween the seventh and eighteenth
centuries, some lasting from forty TO
seventy days, and nearly all accompanied
~ winds or foods, or terrible storms a
lightning and thunder. Readers Of the
Relations dcs Jesuites will reInem-
her the great earthquake Of 1863. which
shook and t,ssed the earth for si1
months from Gaspc 10 Montreal. the
rival OF our own earthquake Of 1871 in
the Mississippi valley. The scycrest Of
the earthquake felt in this region was
that Of November, 1913, an echo Of the
conyulhion that tuInblcd down Lisbon
and saved the Pompay ministry.
through the fact that the ministers
house was almost the only one left IN
injured and his family one Of the few
not bereavod Of a member. Helm, in his
interesting work on eartbquakee. esti
mates that on an average two earth
quakes a day occur on the earth. In
1870, though there was no severe single
shock, 2,22j houses were DESTROYED or
greatly damaged in Italy. nincty-eight
persons killed and 223 wounded. The
same shock may last for years: instance
that of Nicgc, IN the Valais. which en-
dured from July. 1853, 20 1867. Al
Cabul thirty-thrce severe shocks have
been felt in one day; at Honduras. in
ls5G, los were counted in a week, and
AZ Hawaii, in 1865, 1000 shocks occurred
m one month. Helm, it may bc said in
conclusion, opposes the theory Of
connection between earthquakes and
volcanic cruptions and considers that Of
their coincidence with atmospheric
phenomena as better supported by facts;
for they are occasionally preceded OF
accompanied by thick and widespread
fog at seasons when fogs are no; fire
quent. by sudden falls Of the barometer
and equally sudden changes Of tempcra-
ture. Their occurrence, however. in the
majority Of cases comedies with normal
meteorological conditions. Earthquakes
are more frequent after sunse, than in
daytime, in autumn and winter than in
spring. Tho influence Of the moon is
insignificant.
