pearance "should be good. You owe
that to yourself. And whether it is at

your power to possess a dress suit, but
if you should not don't borrow one and
don I hire one. Brush up the best clothes
you have, make them immaculate and
then enjoy yourself aud forget your
clothes. Your linen can always be fresh
and clean, and your tie can be i'll good
style and properly knotted. Never wear
q loud scarf and never wear imitation
jewelry. Gentlemen select plain gold
buttons, and simple gold links, and
scarfpins of the most modest pattern.

ber never to appear in them until
after dark. You may wear, rs you like
best, either lawn tie or u black satin

EARTHQUAKE SCIENCE.
Tho Internal Fires of Earth and the Crack
ing of the Upper Crust.


II has long been the popular belief
that volcanoes were the cause of earth
quakes, and many scientists have held
to this theory, but Professor John
Milne, Il. r. S., who has recently been
investigating the causes of earthquakes
IN Japan. in connection with the Uni
versity Of Tokyo, made the statement
In lecture that most of these shakings,
probably % per cent, were caused by
fractures of the earth's crust.
He explained that the earth's crust
was in perpetual motion. and the tremor
was either so slight us to be impercepti-
BILE OF so great that it might plainly be
felt 1t Is not, he said, necessary to go
to Japan or South America to study
earthquakes for an earthquake in one
part Of the world can, by proper instru-
ments. easily be recorded in another.
"The inside Of the earth is hot" said
Professor Milne. and the crust is con-
stantly breaking downward, and as it
accommodates itself to what is under
meath, the surface of the earth's crust
becomes puckered up, and mountains
and hills are formed. When any inter-
ruption takes place in the process of the
internal crumbling Of tho crust of the
earth, there is subsldence producing "a
violent shaking, which is called an
earthquake. If big shaking takes place
in any part of the world the motion is
sufficient to be propagated over the
whole surface of the earth.
''In countries where there are volca-
noes earthquakes are most frequent, but
they are not all directly attributable to
the volcanoes When the ground open
ing upward is near the ocean or other
great body Of water, volcanoes are
found there, for volcanic action is due
to steam from water in heated rocks,
the water having soaked through from
the surface.
"In Japan earthquakes, great or
small, are of such frequent occurrence
that people there do not talk about the
weather, as they do almost everywhere
else in the world. but you are asked
what you thought of the last earthquake,
and there is much guessing and betting
OH tho earthquakes that are to come.
