In Lima, Peru, there is a constant
shaking of the ground. The houses
are uniformly three stories in height
The first story is of brick or stone, the
walls being fully three feet thick. The
upper two stories are made of bamboo
dashed together. II takes a pretty Sc
we're earthquake to destroy one of these
buildings. The peculiar thing about
shake is that the first time you are apt
to take it coolly. The next time you
arc afraid, and after that you are de-
noralized. Earthquakes are something
thatno man can become accustomed to.

Another Terrible Earthquake - When
and Where 1t VIII Occur.
OTTAWA, Ont, Sept 21.-Prof. E. Stone
Virgins, of the Meteorological Bureau,
predicts that on the goth of this month

latitude. Among the cities which will
be visited, and which he says are in
danger of being destroyed, are Macon,
Ga, Jacksonville, Fla, New Orleans,
Dallas, Houston and Galveston, Tex. The

one being the visible, the other the invisi-
BILE moon, the latter discovery of DR..
Virgins. The shock is expected, to
be felt in all parts of this continent. Wig
