The London Times publishes a synop-
sis of some papers ON "Tremors of the
Earth" by the committee appointed 10
measure the lunar disturbance of CRAWL
ty. Il is considered proved by the CON-
mittee that "the land actually sinks and
rises under the pressure of the mass Of
water thrown upon ii by the tides, the
maximum of rise and fall on the Allan
tic seaboard reaching Eve inches. This
effect is felt at the bottom Of the deepest
mine, and may reach for an unknown
distance. II follows that the crust OF
the earth must be ofexceeding tenacity,
exceeding as minimum that Of granite
and its swaYing may be the causes of
phenomena hitherto quite unexplained
as. for example, the relation between
storm and earthquake" In fact, the
earth pants like living being under
the changes always going on above her.

Thnt Poisoned Rouauet.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Professor Til
den submitted to the district attorney
the report of the chemical examination
just concluded of the poisoned bouquet
given Guiteau by his sister, Mrs. SEQ
vile, the day before the execution. The
report says that large bud, or half
opened flower, contained over five grains
of white arsenic, an amount not only
sufficient to cause death, had it been ad-
ministered, but so largely in excess of a
fatal dose that the intent of the person
who prepared the flowers would have
been defeated by the use of an emetic.
The original amount of the arsenic was
greater than that found, as the petals
failed to retain in a dry state some
which adhered when moist. Corkhill
says he is trying to discover who
poisoned the flowers. and If found will
be held to answer
