Earthquake Theories.

A Cambridge gentleman, who was a
member of he old Association of Ameri-
can eolcgisis aad Naturalists. has
shown us fuTd of interesting data IN
regard to earthquakes, in which, after
after numerous citations Of the immense
distan es over which certain famous
earth luake, rave BEN felt, he gives an
explanation by taylussac OF the man
ner in which particl $ of solid mass of
mat er are shaken. VIII ch will be appre-
ciat, d by c cry school boy who ha' seen
the exper ment with q row oil ivory balls,
the rst of which was struck by the
teacher, with the result of knocking
away the ball at the other end, while
the intervening balls merely transmit
ted the shock witt out bo ng moved
themselves. So the shock pro
duced by the head of pin upon one
of the ends OF long beam makes all IS
fbers vibra,e and transmits itself dis
tinctly to the other end to an attentive
ear. According to the law of the trans
mission of movement in elastic b1dies,
one sect on OF earth not being abe to
transmit its movements to adjoining sec
tions, tends 10 detach itself from the
shaken mass in the same manner as in
the row OF elastic balls.
Hence the shocks originating August
% in Greece and Italy travel d under
the sea at the rate of 100 miles an hour,
and reached the eastern shores of the
United States on the night of septem-
Der 1. Though perceptible in Boston
they did no damage upon these stern
and rock-bound coasts. But in the vi
cinity of Charleston and Somerville,
S. c., the upper strata of the earth being
Of softer and more yielding nature,
aud atfording less resistance to the for
ward moyemen Of the earth waves, the
earth crust was violently shaken and
pushed out of place. .-BcSton Adeertiser.

Winding up the Owl.

In one of the Bowery museums, In a
wire cage, is monster owl, with eyes as
big as tive-dollar gold pieces. A solemn
looking man wandered from the serpent's
den to the owls cage, and his eyes met
those of the captive bird. AS he walked
around the cage the big, fat eyes of the
owl remained fixed upon him. He kept
on, and, while the claws of the bird
clutched the rod on which it was
perched, the eyes neither winked mol
wavered. Three times he made the cir
cut of the cage, keeping his eyes fixed
on those of the owl. Then he halted,
still eye;ng the bird. and a perplexed
look came over his face. Again he
started on, with quicker step, and az
often as he made the circuit of the cage
he closed one finger of his open hand.
After he had doubled over seven fingers
an attendant in the museum came up and
asked him what it was all about.
tGo away" said the man. without
taking his eyes from the owl and he
kept on around till lie had closed the
other finger and both thumbs. Then he
halted, and, still keeping his eyes fixed
on those OF the owl, he said:
i've WalKeu aTOuuu Indb OWL Jeu
times since l counted. and three or -four
times before, and he hasn't taken his
eyes off me yet, nor let 90 tho perch with
his claws. He ought to be pretty neal
wound up, hadn't he."
The museum m IN thought the stranger
was a crank. and went of to attend te
some boys wno were pestering the monk
eys.
With the observation that he could
keep on walking as long as the owl could
keep turning his head around without
letting go his claws. the stranger started
on. He made eight or ten more circuit:
and then halted and waited to see the
owls head fly back like a piece ol
twisted India rubber. But the owls
eyes rema ned fastened upon him with 8
placid look.
"W,ll, that beats me-" said the man,
and he disappe lred down the stairway.
What puz4 led the man has been puz-
zle to naturalists also. Cne of the solu.
tions is that after each turn the ow's
head flies back so quickly tnat the human
eye cannot detect the movement. -Nsu

The Bill Was Altered.

A friend of mine the other day cams to

"Yes, monsieur. See the menu1 Here

produced his regular "a la cllte." p" My

An interesting calculation has been
made by the New York Times, showing
how the steady and rapid payment of the
public debt incurred in the Civil War,
combined with the reduction of the in.
terest rate and the increase of the popu
lation of the country, has affected the
debt burden borne by our people per
capita. In 1865 the debt amounted tc
$751; per capita Last year it amounted
to only S24, IA. In 1865 the per capita
portion of tho annual interest charge
was $4.2). Last year it was but ghty-
three cents. Tho ratio of the principal
is now but two-thirls what it then was
that of the annual interest is but little
more than one-ffth.

And bright when sunset limns gorgeous

The tapestries Of eve with crimson dye,
And CLEANS when nights soft dusky hands

The heavens star-studded diadem on high,
Whose million jewels glisten clear and

Through lashes long or dropping eyelids shy,
Each changing mood Ct him whom sho

Whether in sorrow dim or gladness bright,
Love shines with constant and devoted light
Through her souls windows, ever self-con.

Precautions Against Burglars.

Inspector Byrnes, of the New York
police said to Sun reporter: An ounce
of prevention to any man who has safe
may we'll be VOL h pound of cure, and
that ounce may very readily be applied.
Raise your safe npon n solid brick
foundation on the floor to height of
two or two and half feet, aud place it
where it is exposed to good light, b.
fore a window where it can be clearly
seen from the street, and there it will be
about as near to absolute fety as il. is
in the nature of things TO be. 1t is al
most impossible for burglars to obtain
the time necessary to open any decent
safe If it be exposed in that way. And
if you run bank have somebody sleep
in the building A watchman sleeping
in the building will not be of much nc
count in preventing robbery il the
burglars get in before lie wakes, but his
having a lodging there will materially
affect the putting away Of the burglars
when they are caught. as they probably
will be. BieaSing into an uninhabited
build ng is only punishable by ten years
ilb risonment bnt ( the building is in-
lAbited the penalty is twenty years, and
tho inter sts Of the community dsmund
that nothing shall be over 'ooSed that
W II put the burglar aw y for the longest
time possible That s where tho use
funess OF the somnolcnt waite man comes
in. His presence makes the building in

Some person with lots Of time to srare
has figured that mos of the events of
President Cleveland's life turn upon the
figures seven, or a multiple of seven. in
which respect his career is parallel
with that of Kini ''the last of the
Roman TIibunes," who claimed that his
luck turned always upon the same num-
ber. Grover Clevelan | was seven times
seven years of age when married; his
bride, Frances Folsom, three times seven
years of age, making difference in their
ages of four times seven years; the
brides age and the differences in their
ages added makes seven times seven
the Presidents age. The brides birth
occurred seven years after the President
attained to his majority. Their ages
addel make ten times seven, three score
and ten, the number of years allotted to
the age of man. Multiply the number of
their added ages by seven, it makes
twenty times seyen. the number of times
the Saviour commanded to forgive an
erring brother if he repents. The Presi-
dents Official title. President of the
United States of America, contains five
times seven letters The BRIDES official
relation, the White House mistress, con-
tsins three times seven letters.

A HAPPY HOME.

Jhave very happy home, where peace d
ever found, :.
Where gentleness and love their fragrance
breathes around;
Where gladness and content makes pleasant
every day,
While sorrow, sin and care are banished far
away.
Where, when the day is DER, my darling one
returns
To share with those he loves the honest wealth
he earns;
Where happy children are-without them
home is naught-
Where truth is gladly learned and just as
gladly taught,
Where piety prevails, and faith in Provi-
de1ce,
And each to each the choicest gifts presents.
That is happy home where sadness is un-
known,
Where loving words are said and loving
precepts shown.
