.sThe scientific world has been sbecu-
lating on earthquakes dhring the long
series of centuries since Eubea, the lar
gest island ofthe Egean Sea, made ita
first bow to geographical circles after a.
violent upheaval about four centuries
before Christ. From that on down to
the disaster at the Island of Java in 1888,
and the more recent commissions in
Spain during the cholera season in 1885,
history records a fearful loss of life from
these volcanic fits of the earth. The pa
gan philosophers held the idea that
these earthquakes were produced by
subferaneous shocks bursting into light
ming which shook the vaults that con
fined them The French philosopher
Descartes supp that there were many
vast cavities uRderg ground which COM
municate with each other, some of
which abound with water, others with.
exhalations arising from imhammabIe
substances like nitre, sulphur, &c. DIR.
Priestly of England, thought earthquakes
were caused by electricity. They are
now generally believed to be due to
steam generated by subterraneous heat.
Below are the most disastrous fatalities
from this cause:
The loss of life at the Herculanean and
Pompeii, A. d. 79, was small, but both
cities were totally destroyed by the ac-
con1nanying eruptions of Vesuvius.
In 742 over 500 towns in Syria and
Palestine were destroyed, and the loss of
life could never be calculated.
In 1I37 15, ,o00we buried under the
ruins of Catan1a in Sicily.
In 115S 10000 perished in Syria.
In 1868 60,900 were destroyed in Gill
oia.
In 1856 40, 900 persisted in the great
earthquake in Naples.
Lisbon has been twice visited. In
1881 over 10000 were buried in the ruins
while fully $4,000 perished in the terrible
upheaval of 1855, when the town was
completely engulfed in few minutes.
At the same time 10000 Moores perished
in Morocco.
In 1893 Sicily was nearly wrecked by
an earthquake. 81 cities and 300 villages
were overturned, and 100000 lives were
lost.
In 1704 Jeddo. the capital of Japan,
was ruined and 100000 were lost.
In 1716 10000 lives were lost in AL
giers.
In 1897 Grand Cairo was swallowed
up, with 10000 inhabitants.
In 1897, 10000 people were buried in
one second between Santa Fe and Pan
anna.
In 1922 at Alleppo 10000 people were
lost.
In 1868, 25,000 were destroyed in the
upheavals in Ecuador and Peru.
In 1881 The town of Scio and 1000 in
habitants were destroyed"

IN TIE OlDEN TIME.
The First Mail Ooach-Coaching Left
its Mark on the Railways.

Philadelphia Telegraph; The first mail
coach was started in England in 1884, and
in 1874 there was not n single mail run
ming by road out of London. In fact, the
coaching system, like those of clipper
ships and wet-plate photography, was
brought in perfection only to go down
almost INN ediately before the introduc-
ton of n superior method. The mail kept
wonderful time; so exact were they that
people used TO time their watches by
them. A few OF the time bills OF the
mails, with their stoppages, are given,
The Bristol, the Devonshre, and the
Holyhead were the fastest mails out of
London, the last named doing 25St miles
IN twenty-slN hours and tifty-hve min
utes, an average pace OF little under
ten miles an hour, including stOppages.
But the wear and tear of horsetesh to
keep up this pace in all weathers and
against bad states OF road must have
been fearful, and il Is no wonder that the
postoiiiee often had great difficulty in
getting their contracts taken up Mr..
Horne considered that the pace was too
great, rs the mails constantly drove over
people and killed them. Indeed, acGi-
dents of all kinds We're common; the
Beaufort Hunt was upset twice within a
fortnight, These accidents often arose
from the indiscretions of the coachman
but whatever their cause, they We're FIRE
quentlY lamentable and severe. One OF
the oldest coach propretors made il a
maxim never TO employ Il coachman who
had not an upset for the reason that
without such an experience he would not
know how TO get a coach up again.
There can no doubt that there was a
great deal of reckless driving and racing
Catastrophes also happened through get
ting of the road in Jog and from col
lisions, and, in addition 10 these causes,
a thoroughly fractous or vicious horse
might prove an equal source of danger.
Coaching left Its mark on the railways in
several respects. The distance between
the rails on the narrow guage Of railways
is the same as the width between the
wheels of the old mail coaches-viz; four
feet eight and one-half inches Even 10
the present day carriages may be seen on
some OF our lines painted TO resemble
three coach bodies placed end TO end
which seems 10 nave been the original
idea in the construction of railway car
