In the last issue OF the transactions of the Seis-
motogical Society Of Japan, Prot Milne discusses
the effects OF earthquakes on animals. The records
OF most great earthquakes refer to the consterna-
ton OF dogs horses, cattle and other domestic ami
mails. Fish also are frequently Affected. In the
London earthquake OF 1749 roach and other fish in
canal showed evident signs OF confusion and
fright, and SOM times after an earthquake nSh
rise TO the surface dead and dying. During the
TOXIC earthquake or 1880 cats lnslue house ran
about trying to escape, foxes barked and horses
Tried TO kick down the boards conlnlug them to
their Stables. There can, therefore, be no doubt
that animals know something unusual and terribly
Ing Is taking place. More Interesting than these

manner. AT the time OF the Calabian shock little

The Weakness Of Socialism.

TRAsr.D.
From the Popular cience Monthly
NOW, II Is the testimony OF nearly every c0mpe-
tent observer that Governmental management Is
less economical less energetic and less plastic than
private man igement The result OF its substitu.
ton would be In the long run to lower the product
ooth In quality and quantity. through waste In
competence and u tendency to retain old methods
where new ana better ones should be tried. The
reasons Tor thus are not far to seek. Lacking the
veal as the energy which is the outgrowth OF com.
peIltlon, the state, as an industrial agent, can
never De relied upon to equal In productive results
lne present system OF individual MANAGEMENT {.
But this OF Itself would not necessarily condemn
IL II can be shown that socialism. by raising tho
moral tone OF society and more eQuitably dislrfb-
uting us economic products, gets rid Of thoss
alisn, and thus elevating the standard OF social
well being more than balance the loss IN pro-
ductlon. II Is indeed conceivable that men might
I'VE happier and better than they do at present by
restoring the ancient Ideal and limiting their
wants 10 those things only which are essential to
human welfare; and that production might as a
whole, be less than II now is, and yet society be
should De no such thing over production OF some
articles and uDderproductiOn Oi others; or that
SUCH ratio should be preserved that the pur-
CHASING power or The masses would keep pace
with their productive powers. To this however,
IL may De replied that there Is no good reason for
thlnA1nR thai the state Will be o better judge Of
what Is essential for human welfare than the
individuals who compose IL, and 1t would not be
as sure check upon "overproduction" as the self
Interest OF the individual produces; for this Will

From the London Daily Telegraph
A French missionary, who has Just returned
from Uganda, shares the opinion. held by so many
authorities, that Stanley is Safe. He declares it
is absolutely impossible tnat If Stanley had sue
cumbed TO an attack, the news should not have
reached the missions. 1t seems that when the in
trepid traveller started from the falls report was
spread that he was going to ''eat up Uganda" &C
cordlng TO the expression in fashion In those be-
nlshteJ regions. This missionary thinks that
Stanley Is keeping quiet for the present, either be-
cause he has some political project In view, which
pearance might lead 10 the massacre OF the
English and French missionaries, particu-

court OF Monanga, the sovereign OF Uganda. This
same Monanga Is described as a puissant negro

That they would eXterminate all the whites VINO
might seek TO ''eat up Uganda" The FIRST result
OF the ceremony Was the Imprisonment Of Mr..
Gordon, an English missionary, who had unluckily
selected that very day to read out to Monanga a
letter from Mr. .rker, a fellow missionary, re-
preaching that monarch with his enormities and
exporting HIM turn over new leaf. Mr..
Gordon is, or was, In durance, as a hostage.
