EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANOES.

A Journalists Experience-In Lima--st
DEMONSTRATING Volcanoes
Ihave never been able to clearly explain
10 anyone the difference between the
shock Of an explosion and that OF n earth-
quake, though it ought to be easily COM
pretended. The one is sharp and sudden;
the other prolonged and deliberate. The
first earthquake l experienced was in
fornia hardly noticed it, except for the
fact that everyone in the street got under
the arched doorways Of the buildings,
which are the hardest parts Of a house to
shake down. The second was also In a
Francisco. I was lying on a sofa with
very elastic springs, and the shock was so
severe that il ave me a sensation like sea-
sickness that lasted for half an hour.
/ was riding a donkey out in the
suburbs of Lima one day when the little
beast stopped short, pointed his ears for
ward and refused to bulge. l felt a
| slight culver, and a whole row Of a on
both sides of the street in front of US came
tumbling down. went back to my hotel
and found all the crockery smashed. This
earth current, for it was really that, made
a sort Of highway ruin through the mid
die Of Lima, leaving q third OF the town
on either side Of its banks untouched. In
st. Thomas, during a stay OF several
months, ] do not recall a day when we did
not have at least one shock, and some
times as many as three. They were very
rarely as severe as those on the Pacific
coast, however. The country is volcanic.
As you sail down the coast from Panama
to Valparaiso the level shore is backed by
a row of mountains, dotted with chimney
like peaks, some of which still dist1 a
perpetual vapor into the hot sky. Traces
OF volcanic action are everywhere APP
parent. The whole area underneath must
| be a bubbling sea Of lava, and as the I'M
easy pot seetheS it's tremor shakes the
earth.
The same volcanic characteristics ex-
| tend through Mexico and California up
into Washington territory, British Column
bia and Alaska. Volcanoes, extinct and
active, are to be traced from pole to pole.
One OF the most magnificent peaks in
Central America has a brow crowned with
perpetual snow. l was one Of a party
that scaled 1t for the first time in the
memory Of man. We found, inclosed in a
rim Of ice, q deep and savage crater, and
| down in its center, like the red eye OF an
angry Cyclops, a burning pool that made
a nightlong song like a kettle on the hob,
while we camped in the snow. This vol
cano. that no one suspected Of being a
volcano, has been sleeping among the
clouds for centuries. Some day it will
wake up, and then there will be a sight
worth seeing IN the Costa Rican wilder
ness. Central America Is the finest vol
cano country I know. From Nicaragua
to the Mexican line there are burning
mountains enough to warm the world

SUNDAY IN WARRINGTON,
How the Day is Observed by Official
and Fashionable Society.


Letter in st. Louis Globe-Democrat
The observance of the Sabbath differs
greatly in the upper circle, some august
families observing it in the strictest old
blue-law Connecticut way. In one palatial
home in the northwest end of the city a
Sunday evening caller drops into family
Bible class, with the head of the family
reading and explaining the teXtin a running
discourse. Secretary Frelnghuysen used
to insist upon the stricteSt observance of the
Sabbath in his family, and no Sunday callers
were ever received until the time when he
came back as a member of Arthur's cabinet
and had to see all his Presbyterian rules for
the Sabbath ruthlessly broken into by his
chief. Secretary Frelinghuysen always
asked blessing at his table and never
omitted it in the face of the most formal and
largest dinner parties. Foreigners, who
were new to the custom. used to put them
selves in disgrace by not needing or apr e.
ciating the silent pause of the company after
they were seated and the custom was most
productive of embarrassment. The dipIo-
mats. being nearly all Romanists, observe
the Sabbath after their own fashion, going
dutlfully to masses in the morning and
killing time for the rest of the long day by
Dromenades. calls, dinners and gatherings
at one house or another in the evening A
few OF the ultra swell society women have
Sunday as their reception day, claiming
that all the other afternoons are occupied
and that there is no place to go on Sunday
afternoons. Some very gay and select
companies are drawn together in this way
and, on account of the day, the gatherings
have an air of informality to them that
makes them the more enjoyable to the par
