Water Wares from, Earthquakes.

In some South American earthquakes the
wall Of water raised by the first shock has
reached the almost Incredible height Of 200
feet, successfully smaller walls have rapidly
followed to the shore in a gradual dimlnuen-
do, till at last the undulations died away to
mere ripple. Occasionally these big waves
have radiated outward right across the entire
face Of the Pacific, 10 be recorded in Japan
according to Professor Milne) twenty-five
hours afterward, at n distance Of nearly D.
900 miles from the original centre Of dis
turbance mot bad time as oceantraveling
goes. The Java wave not only affected the
entire coast Of India, but ran upto Hooghly
halfway to the CHATS OF Calcutta, and even
made itself felt in the port Of Aden TWAS
also noted in South Africa and at Mauritius.
Curiously enough, the great earthquake Of
Lisbon produced no visible effect on land in
England, but il Jared and shook all tho
rivers, lakes and canals, so that the water
in them oscillated violently for some time
from no visible external reason. Loeb Lom-
ond rose and fell two and half feet with
every wave for five minutes Coniston Water
dashed itself wildly about rs II IL expected
it was going TO be made into reservoir for
the supply Of still infantilo Manchester; and
the bargees on the Godalming Canal were
only prevented from supposing that a steam
launch had just passed over the course by
considerations of hirtorical propriety lhigh-
ly praiseworthy in men Of their professlon),
owing TO the fact that steam launches them
selves had not yet begun their much objur-
gated existence This curious effect is, Of
course due to the greater mobility Of Ii

not visibly affect the substance Of the table

rise and fall with a slight rythmical motion.
Indeed II was similarly noticed at the time
Of the Lisbon catastrophe that in distant
places where no other effect was produced,
chandeliers, and even rows Of tallow candles
hung up in shops, began TO sway to and fro
slowly, after the fashion of q pendulum, a.
bout the time when the earthquake might
be expected to have reached their neighbor-
hood. The fact that they were hanging
freely from above made them easily sus.
ceptible to the slightest tremor, which
would not otherwise have been perceptible.

hint by practicing as much as possible

floods ofthe Ohio river stopped all our work (;
not by the water, for our mines are above

The tin stone crops out on high nil,

one above another. We traced it some five
miles; itwould crop out occasionally within
the space named. The tin stone is inexhaus-
tihle enough to last 800 years, more or less,

large quantities, millions Of tons, very rich.

the works on large scale. We expect to

This tin stone being the first in quantity

The Hot Car stores.

MY how hot it is - exclaimed flsshy
lady As, entering the car, her eyes fell on
the stove. "What an idea A fire such q
day As this What in the world are they
thinking OFF" And she shoves up the
window and fans herself like all possessed.
An elderly gentleman next enters. sits
down to read his newspaper, first glancing
at the open window In an offended sort Of
way. As his eyes move around from the
window to his paper they fall upon the
stove. Great Scott % he mutters. "Do they
want to roast fellow alive?' And up goes
his window. tN
Each new conner sits down quietly, looks
at the stove and then cries show hot il is
What IN awful fire they've gotw Isn't
it ridiculous" or something of the kind !;
and each opens window, one gentleman
going so far as TO open all the ventilators,
while another opens both doors.
Conductor ~ cry dozen voices, as that
official makes his appearance, and dozen
foreilngcrs point to the stove.
The conductor looks at the cause Of all
the commotion, its mica window glowing
like n furnace seven times hotter than is
wont TO be heated. He takes of his hat
and mops his brow. Then he takes long
poker, and standing rs FAR away from the
stove rs possible, throws open the door
lie falls back to avoid the heat, then steps
forward, looks into the empty cylinder and
remarks, with a laugh:
"Sold, by mighty! That boys gone and

Instantly the doors are closed, every
window comes down with bang, and a
little man in the end seat asks the conduc.

Daknfn,s singular Suicide.

A Bismarck special says: For some time
horse-thieves have infested Mclean county
and the country along the Missouri river.
Sunday afternoon James O'Neil, one OF the
leaders Of the gang, was caught by the
farmers and hanged to telegraph-pole
with the lariat he had used in catching
horses. In his pocket was placed slip OF
paper with the words. "O'Neil the horse
thief" Four more OF the gang were pur-
sued north to the Mouse river, where Il
fight ensued. One thief was shot and three
others hanged. The farmers rejoice over
the news, and propose to continue the
lynching policy as fast as they can catch
the thieves. An inquest was held on the
body Of O'Neil Monday evening. The
verdict OF the jury was that "the deceased
met his death by suicide, riding his horse
to the telrgraph-pole, tying the rope to his
neck and the pole, and letting the horse 30
from under him."
