g From the first day of January
mp TO the present time there have
been more accidents and catastro.
phies happened in the world than
ever known before during so short
a period. The machines invented
By man for bis services seem to
have become the agents for his
death. Railroad accidents, steam
ship accidents and every manner of
death from snch engines has been
announced every day. Hundreds Of
persons meet their death at single
accidents. Then the earthquake in
the island off Italy, swallowed up
thousands of human beings, and
the last terrible visitation has ap
peared in Java where over fifty
miles square of the island has sunk
en- out of sight carrying with it vii.
lagos and all else and leaving not a
single person of its population to
tell the dreadful tale. The volcanoes
of this island have suddenly become
exceedingly active and have nearly
changed the topography of the
whole surrounding country. The
most dreadful earthquakes, tidal
waves and upheavals have taken
place all around the coast affected,
and new surveys of the ocean will
have to be made before navigation
will be safe. This was the chief
cat sstrc pie and does not lack much
of equaling the Pompeii and Hercu
laneum destruction which is so ia.
NOUS in history. Let it be hoped
that the world will now subside
into peace and quiet, and that no
more OF these fearful yisitations will
occur just at present.
