False Earthquake Predictions.

Predictions of q sensational char
acter in regard to the weather may
do little harm. The self constituted
prophet outside the regular meteor
illogical bureau is, however, always
a fraud. But the man who foresees
an earthquake may do a great deal
of mischief. The bulletin of the
American Geographical society
prints this:
Professor Falb of Vienna inflicted
grievous injury upon Athens in 1894
by predicting that the city would
suffer severely from the earthquake
on May 5. Nearly every one who
could do sosfed from the city, and
there was indeed great suffering,
caused, however, entirely by Falb,
for there was no earthquake. Globus
(volume 20, No. y says that another
of his mischievous prophecies threw
Valparaiso, Chile, into sad state of
terror in March, 1896. He predicted
one of his critical days" for March
90, and for several days preceding
all the trains were crowded with
fugitives bound for the mountains.
The mum Der of fugitives was about
1000. There was no earthquake nor
trouble of any sort except that caus-
ed by this irresponsible prophet

A Painful and Exciting Incident of Nov
York RainstOrm.

A Painful and Exciting Incident of New
York Rainstorm.
They were talking of the variety
of queer little incidents which the
streets of New York have to offer
for the daily entertainment of the
idle but observing pedestrian.
''Why, it's a regular continuous
performance, if you only keep your
eyes open and look about you, con-
Guided the man whose fund OF
"Reminiscences" had made him
easily the star narrator of the party.
Indeed l believe you, remarked
the little woman in the corner, who
up to that point had contented her
self with listening to the stories OF
the others. Il believe you, because
was in one act of it myself the
other day on Twenty-third street. [
assure you that l am not particular
ly proud of the part played, but,
then, did it purely from necessity,
not choice.
When started out to shop that
afternoon, the sky was perfectly
clear, but in about an hour it came
on to rain very suddenly, and was
caught without an umbrella. | had
a new bonnet on, too-one of those
tiny things, you know, made mostly
of let and lace, and barely resting
on the top of my head. 1t didn't
even have strings to hold it ON.
Well, l was hurrying along as fast
as possible, my sole idea being to
get that bonnet under the sheltering
roof of the nearest store, when,
happening to glance little distance
ahead of me, saw something which
fairly paralyzed me with astonish-
ment. l stood still for moment,
unwilling to believe my eyes. But
there was no mistake. There was
my cherished bonnet, which l had
believed to be perched securely upon
the top of my head, dangling from
the rib of mans umbrella, several
yards away. Worst of all, the owner
of the umbrella, blissfully uncon-
scious of his ridiculous catch, was
striding rapidly along through the
rain, increasing at every step the
distance between me and my i'll
fated property. There was only one
thing to be done, and twas clear to
me that it must be done quickly too
Picking up my skirts, I ran after
that man at top speed. l must have
been an impressive object, in my
bedraggled and hatless condition,
but had no time to think of that
then. When I finally reached him,
l caught at his sleeve and managed
to gasp out:
Oh, sir, excuse me, but you've
got my bonneta
He turned, and, Judging from the
expression on his face, imagine he
was quite as much surprised as 1
had been a minute or two before.
He was dignifed old gentleman,
with kind looking blue eyes.
Your bonnet, MADAME have
-your-bonnet2' he repeated slow
ly, emphasizing each word, as If to
make sure that he had heard me
right.
It's caught ON your umbrella,
l explained, feeling my face get red
der every moment. You must have
picked it right up from my head as
you passed me, but never felt 1t at
all
by this time we were both laugh
ing heartily over the absurdity of
the affair, but l can tell you it will
be lesson to me. Never again will
1 go out until 1 have fastened my
hat securely to my head by every
means known to women. New
