There have been startling reports of serious
internal commissions in the government earth
quake corps but 1t has arrived from Charleston
intact Barring the results of continued loss Of
sleep and unavoidable nervous exhaustion, the
corps is ready to grapple with the next shock,
and tell the dear people all about itssupon mo
ments notice The seismoscopes and seismom-
eters, which in their haste and temporary ex-
element they left behind them when they
started down to observe the manifestations at
Charleston, were also found uniniured 1t is to
be regretted that they did not even think to bail
and set them before leaving. as the government
is now unable to say whether the numerous
shocks felt il the Carolnas during the absence
or the experts were experienced here.

to 40 per minute. Upon filling his earthquake
tumber with water and placing it on his earth
quake stand, the waves were found to take the
same direction as before
The estimated length of the shock also proved
to be the same as the estimate of ten days ago.
When he sat down to reflect over the matter,
the shock stopped. When he rose to walk to-
ward the head-board it began again with its
former force. After long and careful study of
the manifestations he went downstairs and
asked If anyone felt an earthquake Nobody
had. He then explained the shakings in his
room, when a servant said:
Laws sakes, Mr.. Mciee, de ole head board
rattles every time 80 done walk over de ao'."
Thus suddenly did the only government OBJ
sersation of the earthquake come to an untimely
