EARTHQUAKE CAUSES

The recent earthquake on the At
lantic coast has set the scientists
and philosophers at work again
hunting for causes for these convul-
slons Of old mother earth. Some
assert that the earthquakes are
caused by the expansion or contrac.
tion of the granite strata in the
crust Of the earth, due to ths grad.
ual cooling of the planet, while
others maintain that the heat or
cold causing expansion or contracs
ton of the strata comes from the
surface and not from the interior.
Estimates OF the thickness of the
crust Of the earth are also being
made. One geologist asserts that
the average thickness in New Eng
land is 500 miles while in California
it is only fifty miles. He accounts
for volcanic eruptions by water
pouring into the assures in the crust
and the generation of steam, which
forces its way to the surface. As
evidence Of the general correctness
Of his theory, he refers to Iceland,
Italy, the Pacific Coast, and other
sections whsre the cru.t is thin, and
hot springs aud volcanoes appear.
The best evidence that external
Influences have little to do with the
internal temperature Of the globe,
Is the fact, that an earth thermt :
meter at depth of fifty feet reaches
its maximum of heat in winter and
Of cold In midsummer.
The discussion that is going in the
papers on this subject Is full Of IN
terest. but it is doubtful If it viii
result in devising plan for prevent.
ing earthquakes. What is of greater
Importance than knowing the cause
of tie convuIsiOns is knowing how
70 step them. -.-.,

UNHAPPY COMPARISON.

The New York Tribune has per-
petrated the sad political biunder of
comparing the war record Of Blaine
with that of Cleveland. 1t is some
thing that should not be referred to
in the campaign, as the war and its
issues are dead and should be
buried; besides, this Is q civil gov~
ernm INT, and the TWO candidates
are essentially civilians, and the of
fee that one or the other will fill is
purely civil position. But If the
"war record" must be referred to, it
ought not to be done by Republic
can, as Blaine's is so cowardly as to
be unclean, while there is nothing
In Cleveland's thst il al all dlscred.
liable. 1t is well known that when
drafted Blaine hired substitute
for $500, and afterwards made the
town refund the money; further,
he used his irflaence to procure for
his substitute a position in the Office
Of the provost marshal at Augusta,
so thai neither Blaine nor his man
never saw a field Of battle, and was
never any nearer the front CT danger
than his own home. If Blaine is not
thoroughly ashamed Of the service
he rendered his country when she
was calling for and soreiy in need of
brave men, he should be; certainly
all true patriotic cannot think Of the
'Fro cord" without blushing. Cleve-
land did not 60 to the war, it is true;
it is also true, that ne sent substi.
tute, but he paid the man, and did
not ask his town to give him back
the money. Besides, two of Cleve-
lands brothers went into the army,
and fought like patriots, while
Grover himself, then 25 years of age,
toiled to support his aged mother
and two sisters. A comparison Of
the record of these two men all
through, will show equally well in
favor of the Democrats.
