der, bagga ge-cars, smoking-car and two
coaches jun ped the track and were smashed
The tender and o1te> 5aggage-car went down
the en1.E4ukment but all the other cars
except the coaches were crushed at the top.
People were tossed about in the cars in all di-
rections. and some Of them were thrown out of
the coaches and down the embankment. One

An earthquake of the most unusual char
acter was recorded at seven minutes past
two P. NJ, April 18th, in the chronological OBJ
servatory of the Imperial University of Toxic,
Japan. The popularity of the phenomenon
lay not in its violence, but in the extrems
slowness of its oscillations it taking from four
to seven seconds to complete one forth and
back motion. chiefly in a horizontal plane
lying south and north. There were a few
vertical notions however, of equally slow
periods. The phenomenon lasted ten minutes
and thirty-six seconds no damage being done
as yet reported.
