During the nineteenth century the ques-
ton of earthquakes has been the subject OF
much earnest investigation by scientific
men, and much hard study and research
have been given toward the solution Of this
phenomenon - remarked Professor Fred G.
plummer prominent among these stu
dents are the names of Falbs, Fuchs, Hol-
den, Dutton. Percy, Won Geldern--names
which are Of themselves sufficient guaran-
eof the thoroughuess ofthe investigations
"As the result of much of this research
it appears to he demonstrated that the
nearness and positions Of the sun and moon
have effects favorable to earthquake
much the same influence as these bodies
have upon terrestrial surface tides. The
conditions which are favorable to an ex-
tremely high tide at Puget sound are five
in number-viz: First, perihelion of the
earth; second, perigee of the moon; third,
opposition QulD OF the moon; fourth, the
moon running high; fifth, the ocean winds.
For the purpose of calculation aiming at
prediction this last element is TO be omit
ted. Condition No. occurs once year,
and conditions Nos. Q, . and occur about
! monthly.
Now, by reference to an almanac, IL may
be seen that on the 22d of next December
| all the conditions will occur together ex.
cepting No. /, which will be eight days late
but as this would hardly be appreciable
| they may be considered AS occurring togeth-
er. 1t may be predicted with accuracy that
on or shortly after the 22d of next Decem-
Der we shall have an unusually high tide,
and for the same reasons Qf the earth
quake theory is correct the conditions will
be ripe for earthquakes While it would
not be advisable for II scientist of reputa-

Gates will have II chance either to rejoice or

ONE WHEELED PNEUMATIC suLKv.
Tho Invention Of n Californian who Looks
For Big success with IT,

Captain Alpbonse b. Smith, a pioneer Of
San Diego, Cal, is the inventor Of one
wheeled sulky which apparently is sue
cess. Some years ago he conceived the
idea That the time OF horse on the race
course could he materially reduced II, in
stead Of the two wheeled sulky, a one
wheeled cart could be used, and he forth
with set to work to devise vehicle which
would suit the purpose.
He feels confident that at last he has sue.
ceeded in inventing something which fully
realizes his brightest hopes, and something,
too, which is destined TO come into very
general use throughout the world The
axle Of the cart Is made in two pieces, and
is so arranged that the wheel turns very
readily in any direction the horse can posi-
bly, pursue. Attached 90 the shafts, near
where they meet the axle, are stirrups de-
signed to steady t" rider IN his position on
the cart Made FIR ordinary road use, one
Of the vehicles weig 81 pounds, but when
designed for use on the race course the uni
cycle, as some have called it Iray be con
structed so as 70 weigh only 2! pounds
One was recently manufactured no sun
Diego entirely Of aluminium, the weight
being a trhe less than 39 pounds and the
vehicle being strong and handsome. Arthur
NJ. Plate is Captain Smiths partner in busi-
ness. Mr.. Plate said;
Captain Smith perfected the several pat
ents last june and he and are now pre-
pairing to introduce it to the pnblic. No,
it isn't true that a balancing pole goes with
each cart. The driver isn't in bit of dan
ger Of being tipped over. The cart can't be
overturned unless the horse falls, and the
motion isn't ierky.
1--WE feel confident that the one wheeled
cart will drive the two wheeled pneumatic
sulky from the track. Why! Well, because
it minimizes friction aud therefore admits
of greater speed. Theexperments thus far
made on race courses leave no room for
doubt that the one wheeled cart is certain Of
popularity among turfmen." The inventor
is sanguine that before another year has
rolled away hundreds OF his unicycles will
be in use in San Francisco and hundreds
more throughout the interior Of California,
especially in the mountainous Districts
