The RUIN WROUGHT BY EARTHQUAKES IN
CASHMERE turns out TO DO even greater than
at first reported. Two towns are destroyed
with loss Of 400 lives, and neighborinR vii
lagos have had their share Of oalamiiies
This country, whose beauty Of landscape aud
extraordinary fertility have been sung by po-
cts, is one Of those On which nature seems TO
lavish extraordinary bounty Of soil, climate
and picturesque scenery, only TO Offset them
with occasional devastations Of terrible de-
structiveness. At the beginning Of this cen.
fury the population OF the valley was esti-
mated at 500, 900. In our day it is only 200
600. Occasional famines aud pestilence, In
a region ordinarily famous for its healthful-
ness and its vast crops Of rice and fruits
have caused the greater part OF this almost
incredible reduction. Even IL the estimates
OF the population half 9 century ago were
