A Kissing Hero.

When Gen. Sherman was in Ed
wardsville, Ill, the other day, several
little circumstances occurred which
were not down on the bills and would
not be mentioned were it not for the
fact that the young ladies recently visi-
ted by the osculatory hero have been
heralded far and near as making such
favorable impressions upon the general
as to render irresistible the impulse to
kiss them. The young ladies of Ed
wardsville are just as attractive as
those of any other city, and the gener-
al, with his experience, was quick to
note this fact. A ter the q. A. Il. ex-
ercises, the other night, the stage of the
opera-housc was invaded by bevy of
young ladies, who were to rehearse a
cantata. The gray-bearded veteran
struggled manfuily to maintain his
hard-oarned reputation OF kissing each
pretty girl he meets, but found himself
very busyA kissing every lady intro
duced, as there were no exceptions to
the generals rule, including only pretty
girls. His well-known penchant had
preceded him, and one young lady
..jusL vowed she wouldn't let him kiss
her," but before she knew it tho willy
veteran grasped both her hands and
planted squarely on her mouth kiss.
unlike tho Henry V. kiss in that it WAS
not lingering in its character, but
sounded like plank had cracked. The
affair was evidently relished by all but
the young gentlemen who witnessed,
but were not allowed to participate,
and regretted that they had not come
into the world early enough to have
late unpleasantness. - Louisriiie Conn

Earthquake Phenomena.

The only settled facts about earth
quakes are. that they are the result of
some shock impaired to tho rocks at a
considerable distance beneath tho sur
face, and that this shock reaches the
surface in series of concentric rings,
all points on the circumference of each
ring receiving the shock at the same
moment, even though they may be hum
drcds of miles apart. In other words.
all points ut equal distances from the
center of the earthquake receive the
shock at the same moment Although
this is theoretically the case, according
to well-known physical laws, still in
practice the facts are somewhat differ
ent, for the shock is retarded or accel-
Grated according as the rock opposes
or favors the passage of the wave. The
severity of the shock in O given place
is dependent upon variety of causes.
These are: /. The strength of the origi-
nal shock; 2. the distance from the
earthquake center; and. 3, the kind of
rock ON which one is standing, loose
gravels greatly diminishing the force
of the shock. The destructiveness of
earthquakes depends rather upon the
suddonness of application than the
amount of motion. In that at Rio Bonn
ba. it is reported for fact that man
was hurled across a stream distance
of one hundred feet, and landed on an
elevation fifty feet higher than his
original position. 1t is an undoubted
fact that objects are frequently thrown
great distances. In the Mississippi
valley. during the earthquakes of 1911
1914, the tops of trees were twisted and
entangled, and strong log cabins were
thrown. TO the ground. Rivers are
sometimes checked in their How, and
in past geological ages some have been
completely turned from their course by
earthquakes. -Rat1,h s. Tar IN iopa1-

The Extent of Human Travel.

The movement of persons has under
gone quite as important a growth as
that of goods. In the "Review of the
Worlds Economy" already named,
the number of passengers carried by
all the railroads in all parts of the
world, in 1882, is estimated at 2.400.-
600, 600, OF an average of six and ha i
million day. The absolute number
of passengers carried on steamers il
smaller; but here, as was also the case
with goods, they are carried for longer
distances, and more days Journeys
than on railroads; so that, estimated
by the mile or the day. the amount
both of freight and passenger work the
steamers do will appear to much better
advantage.
The significance OF the facilitation OF
passenger transportion is derived prin-
cipally from its effects on social condi-
tions, civilization, and customs. One
of the most important of these effects
is illustrated in emigration, which has
assumed grand Dimensions under the
operation of the new methods of com
munication. OF the twelve and half
million emigrants who went to the
United States between tho recognition
of their independence and 1888, not
moro than million belong to the time
previous to the establishment of reg
ular passenger communication by
steamer with Europe, about 1874. AS
q result of the establishment Of this
method OF communication, and of the
building of l. ilroads that opened the
Mississippi Valley and the western
part of the Continent, emigration as
sumed colossal proportions. Besides
the amclIoratiou OF the voyage, which
has become an affair of not more
than ten or twelve days for emigrant-
vessels. the improved fare, the cheaper
rate of passage, and the punctuality
and increased safety of the transit,
may be marked as circumstances con-
tributing to this result.-Herr C. Her.
cog, in Popular Science Monthly.

Prince De Joinville at Savage's Sta
fiOn.

From General w. B. Franklin's ac-
count of Rear Guard Fighting at Saw
ages Station" in the July Century.
we quote the following: "A short time
after l separated from General Nc
CIellan Gas mentioned above) at the
junction of the Charles City and Quak-
er roads. | babe farewell to the Prince
, de Joinville, who told me that he and
his nephews were about to leave us and
return to Europe. He had always been
very friendly, and now expressed many
good wishes for my future. Holding
my hand in his, he said, with great
earnesLness, General, advise General
Mcclellan to concentrate his army at
this point, and fight a battle to-day; il
he does, he will be in Richmond to-
morrow was much impressed by
his manner and by what he said, and
from the purely military point of view
the advice may have been good. But
it was impracticable for me to adopt
the suggestion. General Mcclellan
was then we'll on his way to the James
River, and had no right to leave my
command. 1t was impossible to con-
centrate the army there that day early
enough to give battle, and had it been
possible to risk a general engagement
there, it would have been contrary 10
General McClellan's views as to his re-
spOnsibility connected with the safety
OF the army, views which were actuat-
ing him in the very movement then
taking place. 1t is likely from what
we know now, that had it been possible
to follow the Princes advice, his mill
tary forecast might have proved cor
rect. But no one at that hour could
have predicted the paralysis of jack
sons large force in our rear for the
whole of that day, nor General Lees
ignorance of McClellan's intentions.
Had general engagement taken place,
and had we been defeated, the army
would have reached the james River,
it is true, but instead of getting thero
as it did, with its morale unharmed,
and with slight damage to its men and
material, it would have been q disor-
ganizcd mob, and as an army would
have persisted miscrably. General Nc
Clellan believed that the destruction of
the Army of the Potomac at that time
would have been ruin to our cause,
and his actions, for which he alone is
responsible. were guided by that belief
and by the conviction that ut any Sac
riiice. the preservation of that army,
at hGt time, was paramount to every
other consideration"
