He Sniffeth the Earthuuake.

It is a we!l-known fact that horses
can hear sounds that are not perceptible
to human ears. For days previous to the
great earthquake in the Riviera the
horses in that locality showed every
symptom of abject fear, which continued
without change of character, unless it
was in the direction of greater frenzy, till
the fury of the great convulsion broke
forth. Not until few seconds, how
ever before the earth began to tremble
did human beings hear the subterranean
rumblings. One writer from the scene
says that in his opinion the horses knew
that the great quake was on the way
from u to 100 hours before their mas
tiers heard or felt the first jar.-St. Louis
