Georgia has been subjected is moi
realized by the public. Four times
has he been under the knife. One
third of his tongue has been taken ou
the entire left floor of his mouth
the glands in the left side of his neck
The last operation was the most severe
and probably successful. When he
was under ether for it, it was intended
to only take out small lump that had
hardened on the gland in his neck
After he was insensible it was de.
termined to adopt the heroic treatment
and take out the entire gland. He
was kept under the knife two hours.

Dakota as a State having practically
died out, the Republicans now turn
their anxious eyes to Washington Ter

will be alarmingly reduced. How

Australia. This pressure would not be
felt by any Australian for the same
reason that he does not feel the ordinary
pressure of the atmosphere, but it would
nevertheless depress Australia to the ex'
tent of perhaps six inches. Ihis de,
preston would so squeeze the liquid
flies in the center of the earth that tney
would press against the crust with sucn
force as to bend it outward whenever IL
happened to be exceptionally weak. ms
outward bending of the earth's crust
would be called an earthquake, and IL
would occasionally be accompanied by
cracks through which the cehtral fires
would escape. A similar effect Is pro-
dnced by the pressure of the tides, and
this fact explains the frequency with
which earthquakes occur IN sea'coast
regions
1t has often been noticed in California
that an earthquake is heralded by a
peculiar state of the atmosphere. When
the air is heavy and men feel q sense OF
oppression an earthquake is very apt to
follow. This is what we might expect If
earthquakes are really produced by
atmospheric pressure. If the weight OF
the air is sufficient at times to depress
California to the extent of. say, foot.
the sudden removal of this pressure
would cause the crust of the earth TO
spring back to its normal position, and
the disturbance would be recognized as
o California earthquake.
The acce otance of this theory ought to
lead us to exercise great care in placing
heavy weights on the surface OF the
earth. Ii we continue 10 build ten-story
buildings in this city, we shall in time
accumulate such an enormous weight
that Manhattan Island will be de-
pressed, while Flushing Yonkers,
Orange, and other suburban towns will
suddenly bulge out to the great astonish-
ment and dissatisfaction of their resi-
dents. Conventions of fat men should
also be discouraged, lest they produce
earthq uakes, and for-the same reason no
large quantity of Patent Office reports,
speeches by Stanley Matthews or ex-
President Hayes, or jokes by professional
humorists should ever be accumulated
in any one place. AS for reunions of the
Field family, they should be forbidden
by law. Were Henry M. Field, David
Dudley Field, and Cyrus W. Field ever
to sit down to dinner together, their
united weight of intellect would infalli-
bly depress the crust of the earth to an
extent that would be fearfully danger
Gus.
It is very satisfactory to know, at last,
precisely how earthquakes are caused,
and we can now feel confidence in the
infallibility of science which is i'm.
menseIy comforting. Y. Times.
