How Deep Does no Earth Quake.

The Mississippi Valley has recently
experienced an earthquake shock
which for severity has not been equaled
for years. an incident which revives in
terest in the query: How deep does
the earth quake" when nature shakes
her crust like the cyclone does the cir
Gus tent?
At Virginia City. New. the great
earthquake of 1879 was not noticed by
the miners in the deeper portions of
the Comstock mines. The famous
earthquake at the same place in 1874,
which shook down chimneys, fire walls,
&c, and cracked every brick building
in the city, was merely noticed by
some of the miners working in the
upper levels" but did them no dam
age. net even shaking down loose
rocks and earth. The station men in
the various shafts felt it strongest, and
the deepest point where it was noticed
was by the ninth station man, who was
on watch at the 900-foot level. which
is, of course 900 feet below the sur
face. He said it felt like faint throb
or pulsation of air, as though blast
had been fired above, below. or in some
indefinite direction. In some of the
Virginia City mines the shock was not
felt ut all. not even by station men in
the shafts.

PESTERED BY THE PUBLIC

Mrs and Mrs Grover Cleveland,
with their daughter Ruth, have decid
ed to spend the winter in Lakewood
n. j., where it is hoped that the moth
CT and daughter will find rest, quiet
and freedom from that publicity which
has of late become somewhat annoy
ing. Every day a pile of letters has
come to the house on Madison avenue
for Mrs. Cleveland Some of the writer's
ask for her photograph, some want
her autograph, some want both. Other
unknown writers ask if they may ded-
icatc their forthcoming book or musi-
cal composition to her Others again
want pictures of Baby Ruth. impor-
tune for aid in money matters, or i'm
plore her to be present at some open
ing. where her presence will do great
good Mrs. Cleveland would like to
answer each letter and comply with
each request That is well-nigh i'm
possible at the best OF times. At the
present moment an attempt even to
read all the letters is simply out of the
question. Her inability to attend
to her unknown and numerous CORES
pondents has worried Mrs. Cleveland
greatly, and naturally Mr.. Cleveland
has been very much distressed by her
anxiety.

4 BALLOONIST'S FEARFUL

BOMBAY. India. Dee. TO- An acct
dent occurred here to day by which
a daring parachutist met a most hor-
rible death in the sight Of many per

field, who had gained quite reputa-
ton by his thrilling jumps from d
balloon at great altitude When
freed from the restraining ropes the
huge ir-ship shot upward with lightn-
ing like velocity, and the cheering
was at once hushed as the crowd
instantly perceived that something
was wrong. The balloon had only
reached a height of about 400 feet
when it burst with loud and
startling explosion and Immediately
began to fall to the earth. Mansfield
made the most desperate efforts to
disengage the parachute from the
collapsed balloon. buo it had become
entangled In the ropes and the unfor
tunate man was soon forced to re
lease his hold. The Mortified specta-
tors uttered cries Of dismay as they
saw his body come twirling towards
them, and some of the ladies tainted at
the terrible sight. Mansfield struck
the ground with terrific force and
was instantly killed, his body being
crushed and mangled.
