FACTS ABOUT EARTHQUAKES.

Some Arc Sudden, Others Last for Genera

Disturbances Is Shrouded in Mystery.
1t is a mistake to suppose that earth
| quake disturbances are always over
| in a few minutes. In Japan, where a
careful record of seismic shocks has
| been kept for hundreds of years, one
series of shakings lasted from the year
| 745 to the year 195. There was a con-
| tinuous disturbance of the earth's crust
in the year 977 for 300 successive days.
1t is quite common for them to last
from twenty to seventy days. In San
Salvador, Central America, in 1879,
more than 600 shocks were felt in ten
days. In Honduras. in 1850, there We're
10S shocks in week. At Lima, Peru,
in 1746, 200 shocks were felt in twenty
four hours. At St. Thomas, in the
West Indies, 2SS shocks were observed
in ten hours. Perhaps the greatest
number of shocks ever observed in a
given time was in the New Zealand
earthquake of 1SiS, when they con-
tinued at the rate of 1000 a day for
five weeks.

the only earthquake In Lisbon, for on
Feb. ~, l53l, ,5Oo houses were de-

between 1883 ana 1891 the Kingdom OF
Naples lost 1000 persons through
earthquakes, or an average of 1,500 a
year out OF a population OF 5000. Com

HURST NOT SUCCESSFUL
Did Not Succeed in Buying the Fran
chise Of Scranton Club.
PRICE ASKED MAS TOO HIGH
Mr.. Hurst Docs Not Think 1t Is Worth
More Than S2,5OO-iIis Intention

Tim Hurst, the eX-El stern league UNI

Eastern league franchise, has not re-
ceived much encouragement and re-

urle reporter, expecting that she fran
chise could be bought for, say, slccne-
thing like $2,5O0 That iS all ITS worth
and that is all 1t VIII bring. If Nhe

have t'jsl to come 10 an understanding
with the officers of the association, but
cam get no definite proposition fl0m
Them I DON'T ,tln Ink they are abe to
cometo an understanding among ihem-
selves. l DON'T believe they want ITO
continue i'm the BUSINESS, but they will
probably bid in the franchise at Fri
days sale and run the risk of getting
r.d of 1t rather than closing a deal
now"
Hurst said his 'intention was Ito buy
the franchise and keep club i'm Soram-
ton. He denied Ithlat he was here in uhe
interest of President Pat Powens, of
the Eastern league. or that there was
any intention of influencing the league
to transfer Scranton TO Newark Clr any
other city. Without any Intention of
belftthng Billy iBarnie, Hurst said he
could conduct q club IN this city, which
would prove a good financial venture
arh would make a good showing i'm the
pennant race. He felt s'anguine, he
said, because he Thought one owner
could do better than a board of direc-
tors and a murager among whom
there was too much difference of opin-
ion.
I'm speaking of the prospect for play
ers he said he could secure any number
from the Brooklyn, Baltimore and New
York clubs who have not proved STRONG
enough for the National league. With
four, five or six such men and the re-
mainder of THE team composed of
youngsters, Hurst believes he can get
together a club that will hold it's own.

the Comstock lode did not feel them

come first, but this is not always the

earthquakes. One theory, which was
long held. but which is not satisfactory,
IS that they are incomplete volcanoes:
that ls, that there is an underground
eruption which shakes part of the

blow it off. Another theory is that
water leaks into vast subterranean
cavities where the temperature is nat
urally above boiling point, becomes
converted irto steam and tries to blow
its way out. 4 third theory is that the
