SOME FACTS ABOUT EARTH
QUAKES.

The recent earthquakes along the
Atlantic coast have awakened a greater
interest in the subject of earthquakes
in general. For years seismOmetry
has been an especial branch of science,
and it has been developed best in
Japan, the land of earthquakes,
through the studies of Prof Ewing, of
the University Of Toxic, and through
the researches Of the chronological So
ciety Of Japan. Recently a meeting of
scientists was held at Washington.
there being present representatives of
the United States geological survey, the
signal service, the Naval Observatory,
and Princeton and Harvard Colleges,
and it is proposed to study earthquakes
by means of observations at every
available station. the whole enterprise
to be under the direction of the geOlOg-
ical survey.
A writer in a rent number of Science
states that three hundred and sixty
four earthquakes occurred in the
United States and Canada between 1872
and 1888, and that " an earthquake
occurs somewhere in the United States
or Canada about once in twelve days,
and about once a month somewhere on
the Atlantic slope" The recent earth
quake in Western Maryland and Vir-
ginia is accounted for by the theory of
the gradual cooling of the earth's crust.
The contraction produced by this cool
ing causes a great lateral pressure in
the mass, which continues until some
point of weak resistance is reached,
when a break occurs and there is a
slide. This slide goes on until equilib-
rum has again been attained.
This is the earthquake as it occurs in
this country. 1t is likely to be pro.
duced at any time with more or less
intensity, but is generally confined to
regions traversed by great mountain
chains, as the Appalachian or Rocky
Mountain systems, as it is one of the
stages of mountain building, being par
TALLY cOnnteracted by the gradual lev
cling produced by the action of tn,
| weather and other external forces

ENTOMBED IN SNOw.-Many more
villages in Italy are reported as having
been devasted by avalanches and the
havoc and slaughter are described as
appalling. Most of the casualties seem
to have occurred in the Province of
CuneO, which is in the South of Pied
mont and is bounded by the Maritime
Alps, many spurs of which intersect the
province. AT FrassinO, which is nine
teen miles northwest of the capital
city, CuneO, the number of killed is
now stated at one hundred and forty,
and fOrty-One cOrpses have been recOv-
cred from the ice and snow in which
they were entOmbed. The village of
Olgrana, on the Grana river and near
CuneO, is partly destroyed aud many
persons have been killed. Twelve
houses have been demolished and
fOrtv-twO persons killed at Deveis.
The village of RabassO is almost COM
pletely buried under the snow. Scores
of people have been killed there, and
over two hundred men, women and
children are wounded, homeless and in
awful distress. More than three
thousand men are engaged, in addi-
ton to the soldiers, in the work of ex-
huming the dead and rescuing the sur
yivOrs in the Province Of Cuneo.
Troops are also stationed at ths en-
trance of the Vale della Maria ani
other dangerous valleys, where fur
ther avalanches may be expected TO
occur at any moment, to prevent per-
sons from entering them.
An avalanche has buried hamlet Of
! fifteen houses at ChimOnte, in Pied
mont. The cries of the buried people
can be distinctly heard. Two thous-
and soldiers are endeavOring to rescue
| them.

GEN. STEWART VICTORIOUS.

On the 18th inst the column of Brit
ish troops, about 1900 strong, under
Gen. Stewart, had sevOre fight near
the Abu-Klea wells, about % miles
North of Nehemiah, with portion of
forces Of the Mahdi, and after a strug-
gle much resembling in its general
character the engagement at Teb, in
March last, put the rebels to flight and
captured the well. The British force,
while moving in a square upon the
enemy's left flank, was charged fur
iously by the Prophets fanatical fol-
lowers. The square was penetrated
about its left rear, by sheer might of
numbers, and for awhile hand-tO-
hand fight was carried on, but the ad-
mirable steadiness of the English in
this part of the field, together with the
severity of the fire poured into the
rebels by the other parts of the square,
in the end prevailed. The losses were
heavy on both sides. The rebels left
500 dead on the field, and of the Eng
lish seVenty-fOur were killed and
ninety-fOur wounded. Among the
killed was Col. Burnaby, whose Ride
to Khiva" has made his name familiar
to the readers of English books the
world over. Several other officers of
some note were killed. The proper
ton of killed to wounded is, in fact,
exceptionally large, and indicates the
desperate character of fight in which
all the influence of example on the
part of the officers was required tC
keep the men up to their work. The
probable effect of Gen. Stewards vic
tory it is difficult to estimate. Gen
Stewart himself inclines to the opinion
that from its decisive character the
fight of the seventeenth instant will
discourage the enemy. The capture
of Metemneh is the next problem tC
solve. Considering the disparity o
forces, the bravery of the rebels anC
the unfavorable condition of the Eng
lish troops, the result of the next few
days operations will be awaited will
some sOlicitude.

Gray ashes where blush roses grew,
The fair still roses bent THEM low,
Their pink checks dimpled all with dew,
And seemed to view with pitying air
The dim gray atoms lying there.

And life and hope and quick desires.

Poor ghosts of long forgotten fires !?
The rose tree leans. the rose tree sighsB
And watts this answer subtly wise:

Out Of dead lives fresh life is sent;
Sorrow to these are growth for me
And who shall question Gods decreeF'

No longer leaps in song and fire,
But lies in ashes gray and stark,
Defeated hopes and dead desire,
Useless and duh and all bereft-

Some happier life may use thee so,
Some flower bloom fairer on its tree,
Some sweet or tender thing may grow

Content to play an humble part,

And haply God, whose ar DEGREES

ORIGIN OF THE SIEXICAN PULQUE.
The legend of its discovery is pretty
one and has taken so strong hold upon
the popular fancy that it remains fresh
in memory even at the present day,
having been the theme of poetry anG
the inspiration or art. It is said that
when the Toltec Empire was at the
height of its splendor, Tepancaltzin
being upon the throne, relative of the
King, Papantzin by name, was led,
through a happy accident, to observe
the hidden virtues of the magueY. The
gnawing of a rat i'll the pulpy body Of
the plant revealed the secret which ma
ture had hitherto guarded so carefully
and brought to the light that milky
beverage which was destined to be the
source of health and pleasure to countless
thousands. Papantzin seems to have
had some idea of the importance of his
discovery, for he resolved to take the
precious liquid up to court, deeming
that it would be an acceptable present to
the King. His lovely daughter Xochitl
accompanied him, and it was from her
fair hands that TepanGaltzin received
the jarro of pulque. The monarch was
so struck with the beauty of the maid
ell, which had earned for her the name
of Flower" that he fell desperately in
love with her, and stealing her away
from Papantzin, he kept her willing
prisoner in charming retreat near the
City of lula. Such was the influence
exerted by this T ltec RosamOnd Ovel
the heart of her royal admirer that he
afterwards acknowledged her as hi:
Queen, and placed their son, Meco
netzin, upon the throne. The latter
whose names signifies the son Of th'
Maguey," was so incapable Of governing
that he brought a speedy destruction
upon the empire the capital being des
troyed by fire, and the old king, will
Xochitl, perishing in the battle. Thu
the past history of pulque is one titteC
to point a moral and adorn Il tale. A
the present day, though shorn i'll grea
measure Of its romance, there still re
mains much that is picturesque AM
poetical, and Mexico presents very fey
studies more interesting than that al
forded by a visit to one of those numel
