A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

these extra expenses. Notwithstand-

The SENTINEL is to be congratulated
upon the promptness with which its
patrons have come forward and paid
their subscriptions. There are still
few who have neglected this impor-
tant duty either from force of circum-
stances in some cases, and others from
force of habit. These readers are
Just as warm friends of The SENTI-
MEL as the more systematic ones, and
can at almost any time cancel their
arrears. 1t is our desire that all our
subscribers stand on the same footing,
and to bring about this result, we
make the following offer:
We will PRESENT one of our hand
some lithograph crayons of Governor
SCALES to every subscriber who be-
tween now and the LIST Of July pays
up to January LIST, 1887. We want
to begin the new year of 1887 with
clean books and we make this early
start to do it. After each account is
settled up to January LIST, it will be
no difficult matter for all of our SUBJ
scribers to make their annual payment
henceforward as they become due. By
this adherance to business method, we
will be relieved of the unpleasant task
Of reminding our readers of their al
rears, and it viii. allow US to expend
more time and money and energy in
improving The SENTINEL, and max
ing it even a more popular newspaper
than its present increase in circulation
would justify us in believing it to be.

it is dangerous trick for man to

EARTHQUAKES AND THEIR CAUsI

EARTHQUAKES AND THEIR CAUSE
The night OF August 31st, 1886, will
ever be memorable event to the peo-
pie of this country, and will go down
in history along side of the account of
the falling of the stars in 1888.
It was the assuredly the severest
earthquake ever experienced within
the United States since the discovery
of America by COLUMBUS. No dis
turbance Of nature has occasioned
such wide spread alarm, none ever eff
fected such loss of life and property,
as the earthquake Of August, 1886.
From the history of past disturb
ances of a similar nature it is crafty
ing to feel that there are apparently
good grounds for believing that # the
series Of shocks are not already ended,
they will gradually grow feebler until
they cease altogether. AT any rate
there is no occasion for undue alarm.
There can be little doubt that the
probabilities of safety are much
stronger than they were previous to
the first great tremor ofTuesday night
although we were then ignorant of the
threatened danger.
The causes Of earthquakes have
been discussed for many centuries, and
many more high sounding theories
have been advanced than there have
been earthquakes. The ancient idea
of conclusion, however, has still its
counterpart in the Buffonian doctrine
that great caverns exist deep down in
the earth and that the falling of the
ceilings very often produce the initial
shocks, which are continued by the
vibrations produced by the elastic
matter-interior of the globe. Two
centuries ago it was earnestly contend
ed that the vibrations of the earth
were communicated to it from gas ex-
ploding in the atmosphere, and after
they were attributed to the explosion
of chemicals. which. it was aud Ii
known, are formed in vast quantities
far beneath the surface. The vibrat.
ions were also attributed to electrical
activity in the interior of the earth, as
we'll as to the formation of immense
quantities of steam under such press.
ure as can only be estimated by the
weight Of large proportion of the
mass of matter composing the solid
crust of the earth, such steam being
generated by the incidental or gradual
coming in contact of streams of water
with the internal fires, volcanoes being
formed as gigantic safety valves after
the semi-elastic crust has been submit.
ted to such pressure that it must give
way somewhere in order to prevent a
general terrestrial explosion. There
are many other theories, most of which
are either notifications or elabora-
tions of these here briefly noted. No
doubt the study OF seismology will be
general. if not popular, during the
next few weeks.
On the first page of The SENTINEL
we give our readers some interesting
statistics concerning earthquakes from
the earliest period down to the pres
ont dau II Ia Worthu of q ,,orIsol
