The Central Baptist has this telling hit at
the brilliant imaginatlons of some evangelists in
counting their converts: "A prominent ST. Louis
pastor told us that a noted evangelist. who was
holding meeting In st. Louis, once reported
some seventy converts for one nights work.
The report was made in the daily papers of the
city. Neither the pastor nor the deacons of the
church knew anything of any converts till they
saw the announcement in the paper. It would
seem to be Of little use for any man to go into
the work of an evangelist nowadays. If he has
not learned how to count"

REMARKABLE PHENOMENON:
Earthquake waves Reaching from Java
TO California.
Gsan Francisco Bulletin, August s0th.l

[SAn Francisco Bulletin, August S0th.l
On Wednesday morning Professor David
son sent telegram to the superintendent
of the United States Coast and Gsodetic
Survey st Washington, informing him that
the STRENGTHENING tide gauge at Saucelito
was recording earthquake waves, which
were coming from some very distant
regions across the Pacific Ocean. These alb
normal waves commenced arriving in this
bay about o'clock of the morning of the
27sh, but the type is not so regular as that
of previous earthquake waves which have
been transmitted through the ocean from
japan, South America and other regions.
The earlier great waves of Monday are
about seventy minutes of the higher crests,
with intermediate and lower crest. How
ever, from l P. III of the 9th the second
airy crests were nearly equal to the primary
waves. The hight from the bottom Of the
wave to the crest reached one foot, al
though the majority will not average more
than hall that rise and fall.

ARRIYINa 81 NE WYE.

The waves continued arriving through
Wednesday, but with decreased effect.
Theirs is little doubt Whatever that these
waves come from the region of Java, or
some distant place where the free trans
mission of the wave through the ocean is
interrupted by islands or submarine noun.
tain chains. Whenever an earthquake
wave is received from South America or
Japan, the course is quite clear for its
Transmission, and the record very regular
and well defined, so much so that in one Of
the great earthquakes in South America
the reflex waves from other ahores arrived
here subsequently TO the direct waves, and
in the same order of time and hight.
With knowledge of the times Of trans
mission, and the hight of the waves, the
mathematical physicist can determine the
average depth of the ocean across and
through which the earthquake wave was
projected.
CHARACTER OF EARTHQUAKE WAVES.
The Character of these earthquake
waves is altogether different from the
waves exhibited by breaking bar or
ordinary storm waves and at the Column.

Astoria, the pilots were accustomed to
consult the register. TO ascertain the con.
dition Of the "bar" ct the mouth OF that
river At the Saucelito Station the condi-
tion of the bar is revealed at any minute,
and it is safe to say that no break or very
heavy swell can occur on the bar off the
Golden Gate without making its own per-
manent record and the time Of occurrence.
