EARTH ES IN SAMOA.
ingula Phenomena Caused by Con-

vulsion of Nature in the South Seas.
(From the San Francisco Call.)
The schooner Viking, Captain Lut-
trell, from Puget Sound, was at Apia,
Samoa, on January 10th last. From
Captain Luttrell and others we re-
ceived information that nearly all the
Islands of the Samoan group were visit
ted by severe shocks of earthquake on
the days Of December 25th and 26th.
AT Tuituila the shock was the severest
ever experienced in the history of the
island. At first the report was spread
that twenty lives had been lost among
the natives there, but subsequent news
proved this report to be false. Howev-
er, great deal of damage was done,
and at Amalina Bay, town on Leona
Bay, a heavy shower ofvolcanic ashes
fell, which covered the houses to the
depth of several inches. The natives
were panic stricken, many leaving the
island in their boats and proceeding to
Apia, where they spread the report
that a number of lives had been sacri-
feed. At Fagaloa Bay a remarkable
submarine phenomena occurred. On
Christmas day two heavy shocks Of
earthquake were felt. Shortly after
ward a great body of water was lifted
from the bay, shaped like a geysar, and
carried to an immense height. A vol
ume of steam, smoke and ashes es-
capped with it. The water fell in the
form of a shower, and volcanic dust
filled the air.
For three days after the eruption the
waters of the bay were hot and boiled
around the spot where the waterspout
had occurred. Fishes were killed by
thousands and reign of terror existed
among the natives. The western part
of the island of Tuituila is the most
thickly populated, and the report that
no lives had been lost came from this
district only. 1t is said that there is q
possibility that some of the natives
who make their homes in the noun
tains might have met DEATH as a great
volume of ashes fell on the northern
slope of the island
Tuituila lies southwest Of Apia. 1t is
high and volcanic. The island is sew
enteen miles in length and five miles
wide. Page Page harbor is on its
south side. Matafoa, a peak twenty
three hundred feet high, is situated
| nearly in the center Of the island, and
is an extinct volcano. 1t is said to
have smoked and emitted ashes, but
this report could not be confirmed.
At Tau, another island of the Sa-
moan group, the earthquake shocks
were felt severely. No material dam
age was done on shore, but submarine
commissions killed millions of fish and
slightly damaged the topography of the
outlying reefs The formation of Tau
had not been disturbed since 1866, when
| marine disturbance, similar to that
which occurred at Fagaloa, changed
| the outlines of the place. Smoke, ash
es and steam arose from the sea. The
| sea bottom shoaled in several places.
At Mauna the quakes shook down a
| number of native huts

KICKING TREES.
Lumber Men Must Know Them and
Know How to Keep From Being

Lumber Men Must Know Them and
Know How to Keep From Being
Kicked.
(From the Runford Falls Times.)
Very few who have never witnessed
the method of numbering in our forests
realize the danger, with its accompany
ing fascination, the hard, rugged work
with its health-giving results, or the
enjoyment to be found in camp life in
the solitary woods, miles from civiliza-
ton.
The danger from flying limbs or a
kicking tree as it falls, lodges or
strikes upon stump or across log,
and swings around or flies back with
terrible force, is not noticed by the
lumbermen if they are lucky enough to
dodge successfully. Another danger
that people little realize is that of the
teamsters who haul the logs from the
stump to the main road. Much of the
timber is cut up on the mountain sides,
which are so steep that horse team
can scarcely climb up. At the top large
measuring from thirty to fifty feet in
length, are loaded upon one sled and
are dragged down the mountain. In
places the road goes down so steep that
the ends of the logs are above the
horses hips The logs with the sled tip
down, and away they go down the
mountain as fast as the horses can go,
with the teamster hanging to the reins
and keeping his balance upon the logs
as they crash and roll around beneath
10 ocin No tna ,ste ay
emits terrific yell that would put a
Comanche Indian to shame, to warn his
brother teamsters that he is coming, SO
they can get out of the way. They
drive into turnout, and the loaded
team spins past them. 1t is seldom
that a horse loses his footing; If he does
the team is sluiced down the mountain
Occasionally they go against tree but
sometimes both of the horses are killed,
but they generally come out all right,
with a few scratches
With the advent of the railroad and
invention of wood pulp, the uses of the
spruce tree have been changed or en-
larged, and so far as Byron, Me-, is
concerned the manner of getting it
from the forest to the market has
changed. The logs are now loaded on
to cars in the forest and hauled to the
very mill doors, where they are con-
verted into pulp and paper. During
the present winter logs have been
hauled to the Rumford Falls Paper
company's mill, converted into paper,
shipped to distant cities, where 1t is
used by some of the leading daily pa
pers, printed, returned, and read by the
camps crew where the lumber was cut
within fortnight from the time the
tree was cut in the forest Such is the
effect of the progress of civilization
upon this branch of business. Only a
few years ago, even now, in remote Sec
tions where railroads have not
reached, one year Is reekoned on to get
the lumber to market, end 1t sometimes
takes two years to run the lumber out
of the stream to the main river.

liability OF collision with other vehicles,
The signalling is effected by means of
q double trolley strung alongside of the
regular wire. Upon the end of the troll
ley is attached an extra wheel, which
is arranged to run on this auxiliary
trolley. This extra wire, beginning as
it does short distance from each cor
ner connects with a little bell anu
slass box attached to the post on the
next corner, AS soon as the auxiliary
trolley hits the wire, which, of course,
is not charged, the current is con-
veyed from the regular trolley to it,
and from thence to the corner, where
the signal is given to vehicles and pc
destrians that a car is coming within
the block.

4 BICYCEING GENER5TION.

Oh, but this is a perverse and a BIZ
cycling generation. 1t would rather so
wheeling about on Sunday than to go
to meeting and hear the very newest
thing in theology, or the very highest
thing in criticism, But 1t must be got
into the meeting house in some way or
it will wheel right straight to the devil
"Wheeleries" have already been an
neXed to some of the meeting houses
and Sunday bicyclers can have their
wheels taken care of and cleaned while
their souls are receiving a little need
ed attention. We have not read that
any church has yet provided a rink
where those who will come to meeting
can get free instruction in bicycling
after meeting, but we should not be
greatly surprised to read of such a
scheme. There appears to be a general
idea that there must be some compro-
mise between Sunday meeting and BIZ
cycling if the Sunday meeting is to
amount to much, and in some places
there is disposition to go far in the
effort to accommodate the bicyclers.
For instance, in Winchester, Massa-
chusetts, where Rev. J. w. Suter is
trying to compete with Sunday BIZ
cycling. Word was sent by him last
week to the young people in that town
that If they would come to his church
at o'clock in the morning their bicy-
cles would be cared for while they were
engaged in worship. A service half an
hour in length was held, and then they
went out to spin on their wheels over
the country roads. 1t is said that Mr.,
Suter made his service so interesting
that the bicyclers, men and women,
agreed that they would like to come
again.
We don't see how much more can be
done to get the bicyclers to go to meet
ing except that meeting houses might
be established at places where bicy-
clers are in the habit of stopping to
rest. Or perhaps Yale and other theo-
logical seminaries might proceed to
train preachers so that they could ride
with the bicyclers and preach as they
rolled along.

M1RCHING ON.

The new woman is making rapid
progress tout West" For instance, in
Chicago the other day Emile Groth
applied for a divorce from her husband
and the judge ordered her to pay $40
month alimony, while the suit was
pending. He held that in a divorce
case, or in any other circumstances
the same duty rests upon the wife to
provide for a sick or helpless husband
that rests upon a husband under the
sane circumstances. This is equal
rights. sure enough.

ilan is shining. Miss Estelle Reel, of

goods. Set the braid ribbon or what
ev it is in rows on either the inside or
the outside of each pleat. The ribbon
should be the same width as the side of
the pleat. The result is that of richly
variegated material, and lot of color
effects are possible. This will freshen
up gown with pleated front when the
pleats are little wobbly, because the
stiffness of ribbon and stitching will re-
store the set of the pleat. A black
dress with bodice front of orange silk,
which, because of the soiling of the
front, was apparently impossible, was
made quite fresh by setting heavy,
openwork black insertion along the up
per side of each pleat, and this is but
one example from many possible ones.
Black and white, separately and in
cobination, hold their own, which
means that they are in very marked fa-
vor. Indeed it is safe to say, When
in doubt make it white" Though both
black and white are equally good, it is
safer to choose the latter because it
will wash, cleanse, chalk; it is at the
start more dressy, and according as
you combine it with much or little
black, or none at all, it becomes de-
mure FLORETTE.

FASHION NOTES.

Novel Bodice of Fashionable Shade.
Leaf green is popular color just now,
and it is so fresh and pretty that the
choice, if you can stand the color,
seems wise one. Here, TOOLS an ex-
cellent model for it's employment, alpa-
ca or brilliantine being the goods chos-
en-. The jacket bodice has two tabs in
front in place of the usual basque, and
these are embroidered with green silk.
The fronts overlap and show bands of
embroidery, and the dropping revers
and turned down collar are of white
satin embroidered with green. White
chiffon jabots show at either side of the
green satin collar, and a pleated white
silk vest is Worn.
ACCORDION pleating goes out of pleat
sometimes. but it never goes out of
fashion. A really elaborated effect
may be attained at little effort by the
use of narrow braid, ribbon or trim
ming with pleated goods. Set the

Corporal punishment in schools has
passed under judicial review at Cham
bersburg, Pennsylvania. A boy had
kicked little girl on the Fairgrounds
at recess. When school was dismissed
the boy was called forth for punish
n1ent, but refused to go, and when
force was used he drew a knife upon
the teacher. The latter conquered,
however, and gave the lad thrashing
which drew blood. The father of the
boy had the teacher arrested for as
sault and battery. The presiding Judge
said that the boys act was one of in
subordination and it had to be decided
then and there who was the head of the
school. In the opinion Of the judge the
whipping was not too severe. The Jury
agreed with him, and the cost of the
prosecution was placed on the boys
father.

German papers tell an interesting
story regarding the young King of
Servia's recent vain trip in search of a
bride. His Majesty had taken it into
his head that he would like to marry
Princess Maria, daughter of the King
of Greece. The Servian Minister in
Athens proposed the marriage to the
Greek rulers, and received an evasive
answer The minister was encouraged,
however, and telegraphed the King to
proceed to Athens. The young Grand
duke Alexander Michaelovitch, howev-
or. had long been in love with the Prin-
cess Maria, and when he learned of the
projects of the Servian monarch he
pressed his suit so hard that when the
young king arrived in Athens the en-
gagement with the Russian had al
ready been announced. The unhappy
diplomat will suffer for his blunder,
and has already been recalled from his
place.
