His Speciality.

Perhaps to be admired for mistaken vir-
tues is harder to bear with patience than
not to be admired at ALL There is story,
OF an artist whose clouds were very highly
approved by the public until they learned
that tho strokes were intended to represent
a cascade.
Another instance of mistaken apprecia-
tion is told Of the painter Constable. He
was one day leaving the Royal academy,
where he had been busy with his colleagues
of the hanging committed in arranging
the pictures for the exhibition, and at the
door he met Sam, the porter, who had
been helping with the mechanical part OF
tho work.
They had Just been moving into place
one of Constable's s own landscapes, painted
in his characteristic manner and full OF
the spots Of light which he was accustomed
to introduce into his pictures.
"Well, Mr.. Constable, SIR" said Sam,
"that's picture Of yours, siri Wonder
full, sirl''
"Glad you approve of 1t, Sam, said the
artist, feeling in his pocket for shilling
wherewith to encourage Sans taste.
"Wonderful, sir" repeated the man.
"I never sec snow painted SO natural In
all my lifer'-Youth's Companion.

Life or Property.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Am earthquake
shock lasting several seconds was felt in
this city shortly after o'clock yesterday
morning. This disturbance by mother
Garth of the quiet of the Sabbath morning
was violent enough, while ii lasted, to
create great deal Of CONSERVATION and
not little damage. Buildings perceptibly
swayed, windows clattered and banged
and clocks and pictures toppled from their
places.
The shock was most severely felt In the
suburban districts, and ID Is said that in
one part of Georges Hill, In Fairmount
park, a flssure was opened permitting the
entrance of q plummet which extended
down distance of over a hundred feet
without touching bottom. A large plato
glass window in the shade store Of Michael
Lett 1914 Germantown avenue, was split
from top to bottom. Similar cases are re-
ported from other parts of the city, though
no damage to life or person has been re-
ported.
AT the Geological Gardens the vibration
was clearly perceptible, but the excitement
which followed among the animals con-
tinued for good while after the seismic
disturbance. Head Keeper Manley asserts
that the trumpeting OF the elephants, the
roar of the lions and the screeching of the

THE QUAKE IN NEW JERSEY.
Tho Disturbance Affected Only the North
ern Portion of the State.

ern Portion Of the State.
JERSEY CITY, Sept. 2.-New Jersey felt
the force of the earthquake, the tremor ex-
tending throughout the northern part,
while the southern section appears to have
escaped the experience entirely. From all
of tho cities and villages in the northern
section the story received is the same. The
shock was preceded and accompanied by
the low rumbling sound that marks the
true earthquake. This trembling motion
lasted for several seconds. In some places
the estimate Of time Is as low as three
seconds, while others place the duration
of the disturbance at from ten to twenty
seconds. The general course of the shock
was from east to west
There is much difference in the reports
ns to the true direction from which the
shock came. The early hour is perhaps
responsible for this difference of opinion,
as the majority of those who felt and
heard the shock were awakened from their
sleep by the sound, and the vibrations and
the quake ceased before they had recovered
consciousness, and were sufficiently awake
to realize tho cause Of the trouble. The
shock does not appear to have been suffi-
cient to cause much damage
In all places the effects appear to have
| been about the same. Houses were shaken
and dishes broken, but nothing worse than
this has been reported. The mountain dis
tricts appear to have felt the vibrations the
most keenly. That section of Paterson
which is situated on higher ground was
generally shaken, while the people living
| in the lower sections Of the town report
having felt nothing Of the effects of the
quake. The shock came between 6:03 and
sos a. IN. The towns along the ocean
shore report little disturbance in conse-
ouence OF the earthquake.
Trenton and Bordentown report that the
earthquake came with loud rumbling
sound, which was at first thought to be the
wind or the rattling Of q heavy wagon.
There was very perceptible vibration, the
shaking of houses and the rattling of win
dows being plainly felt
Reports Of violent vibration also come
from Burlington, Palmyra Freehold and
Toms River, and at the latter place, it is
said second shock was felt at 9 o'clock in
the afternoon.

BROOKLYN, Sept. 2.-Three distinct earth.
quake shocks were felt by the residents OF
Brooklyn about o'clock yesterday morn
ing. No damage to life or property is re-
ported from any section Of the city Tho
districts Of East New York and South
Brooklyn received the greatest shock, but
the rumblings wess distinctly felt In other
sections Of the city. Contradictory reports
are given as TO the severity Of the shocks.
The first shook, which was felt at o'clock,
was followed by rumbling noise like dis
tant thunder This was followed BY two
other slighter shocks, which, according to
most Of the reports, died away In low,
grating noise.
Superintendent of Police William J.
McKeIvy telephoned to the police head
quarters from his Greene avenue residence
60 the effect that he had been awakened
from sound sleep by the earthquake. He
said that the house oscillated, and that the
bed on which he was sleeping had moved
perceptibly. Deputy Commissioners OF Po-
lice Crosby, who was stopping at Coney
Island, also telephoned to headquarters
that the shock had been pretty severe In
that section of Brooklyn. He described 1t
as a low, rumbling noise, and added that
many houses had been shaken, all OF the
inhabitants being aroused from their
sleep. Conductor Barry, OF the Atlantic
Avenue railroad, said that when going on
duty shortly before o'clock in the morn.
ing he distinctly felt the ground shake and
tba,, he hoo rI a yu.r1blinp noise
The residents Of the Twenty-fifth ward
were startled by three shocks in rapid sue
cession, followed by rumbling noise. The
houses trembled, and many pictures and
other ornaments hanging on the walls
were thrown to the floor Two conductors
of the Atlantic Avenue railroad who were
dining In q restaurant on Washington
street reported to the bridge police station
that they felt the earthquake shock. Tho
building trembled perceptibly, while the
plates and other dishes on the table were
moved. They said the shock was like the
effects Of distinct explosion.
At many hotels the guests were so fright
ened by the vibrations that they hurried
into the Railways to find out the cause of
tho trouble. The guests at the Plerrepont
House were very much alarmed, and many
of them went down stairs and asked the
night clerk what had happened. They
Thought an explosion must have occurred
in the hotel.
According to Weather Forecaster Dunn,
the earthquake reached New York at GIL
o'clock yesterday morning. The shock
was slight, and lasted for ten seconds. 1t
travelled from south to north, but conf
paratiyely few persons in the metropolis
| noticed the disturbance.
