Origin of EARTHQUAKES,

The origin of earthquakes is a sub
1ect which has given rise to much dis
cussion. DR.. Mallet, scientist who
has made a very complete study of
the whole subject, considers that the
earth-wave shock may be the result of
a sudden impulse or blow-such as a
sudden volcanic outburst, sudden
cracking of mass of rock in state
of tension, sudden generation of steam
from water in spheroidal state, or
sudden condensation of steam under
pressure of sea water. The origin OF
earthquakes has also been referred to
the falling of portions of the earth9s
crust into great subterranean cavities,
and to rain water or the waters of the
sea gaining access to the underlying
heated nucleus, whereby steam is gen.
Grated, which rends and dlslocates the
incumbent mass. Dana held the view
that the tension and pressure by which
the great oscillations and plications Of
the earth's crust have been produced
have not yet wholly ceased, and that
this is generally the most probable
cause of earthquakes.

A Fatal Button.

A strange malady has broken out
among the lower classes in portions OF
Mexico and in the state of Guerrero.
Doctors of the city have been entirely
baffled in their diagnosis and are
powerIess to prevent the spread Of the
disease, which has proved fatal in a
large proportion Of cases. The symp-
toms are described to be languor, fol-
lowed by the appearance of bright
yellow button upon the forehead, death
ly sickness and vomiting, accompanied
by exhaustion and collapse. The dis
ease is not allied to yellow fever, ac-
cording to- the physicians, and its
symptoms more nearly approach the
mysterious malady known in Asia Min
or than any other. 1t is stated that the
people of AleppO, Asia Minor, are all
attacked by the disease at least once
during their lifetime, and all newcom-
ers to the city are attacked within a
few days, but the disease, curious as 1t
Is, is rarely ever fatal In the far East.
In Mexico it assumes a malignant
phase. The state and national boards
of health are bestowing much attention
upon 1T. DR.. Demetrio Malta of the
City of Mexico board of health, is in
vestigating the epidemic.

| II will, then, Mr. Druco -
"A better man than you any day"
"That may be. But | know he's moi
the man to make Mabel happy"
He'll make her both happy and
rich" she retorts. "And you step In
with your smooth tongue, and spoil her
life"
God forbid" / say, with twinges OF
compunction and rue and jealousy,
"Pll not stand in the way of her happi-
ness. Call her in, and II she says now
she prefers another I'll bid her good
bye, as Is a mans duty"
She darts from the room and brings
II Mabel and then there is a scene.
The mother wants to have all the talk
to herself, and | am too much cas-.
down to stop her; but Mabel does.
Amos" she says, is it true that you
do not love me?"
l know by that question that her
mother has been working against me
secretly. But out Of regard for Mabel's
peace Of mind at home, | repress the
hot words that are rushing to my
tongue. | answer simply that love
her deyotedly, and that | would pour
out my hearts blood in her service. l
make no reference to the wicked
tongue that has mallgned me when my
back was turned. Then Mabel tells
her mother-before my face, bless her!
she tells her-that there's no man in
the world she loves like me, and that
she has given her word, and means to
abide by 1t. Her mothers face grows
white and sly and she does not
reply to MabePs outburst. &c. her
breath not being employed to fan the
fire, 1t cools down, and thatv storm is
over.
Well, am a little disturbed at the
difference in our ages, which l never
thought of before Mabel's mother spoke
OF 1t. Truly, am old enough to be her
father though as for my hair getting
white, that's fable-there isn't a gray
hair in my head. Still, the twenty and
odd years between me and her are
like twenty and odd little imps mock
Ing and pricking me. How l should
like to poison some Of Them and bury
them out of all knowledge!
Meeting Mr.. bruce at this point of my
musings, he looks at me as though he
would be glad Of the opportunity of
killing not only my twenty and odd
years, but all my other years as well.
am too happy to return his scowl,
and he makes an angry motion and
passes on.

consultation, but as friend--to whom
he had recently become greatly attach
ed. Immediately upon reaching the doc
tors room the gentleman turned very
pale, and then became Curiously agitat-
ed. Then he grew very sick, and nearly
tainted right away. The usual restora-
tives were applied, but without much
success, and he was sent to his home
In a conveyance as speedily as posi-
BILE. Soon after his arrival at home he
recovered, and was quite himself
again. 1t then transpired that the
smell Of Turkish cigarette being
smoked invariably induced the symp-
toms described, and the doctor remem-
bered that he was enjoying a Turkish
cigarette when his friend entered the
room. Repeated efforts made to over
come this peculiar weakness have
proved utterly futile, and the complaint
is attributed to some phenomenal
alteration of the brain-as inexplica-
BILE as it is incurable.

sadness at the thought Of leaving my
darling girl.
cannot tell you how l loved her-I
cannot tell you what she was to me-
She was more than my life-she was
my soul In all the world there was
but one star for me-Mabel. Through
the light Of her love the fair earth be-
came fairer, and the gloomiest day was
filled with sunshine.
1t happened at this time that Mabel's
mother was summoned suddenly from
her home. An only sister, who had
lived hundred miles away, was dy-
ing, and called her to her bedside. The
summons was so sudden that did not
see her before she left. Going in the
morning to Mabels house, found her
alone, and she told me how her mother
had been compelled to go almost at a
moments notice.
Ibid she leave message for me?" I
asked.
NO" replied Mabel. "She was so
hurried and agitated-"
She scarcely knew how to finish the
sentence, so placed my fingers on her
lips to save her from awkwardness.
She felt more deeply than any lack
of affection in her mother toward me.

her, Mabel"
Eyes; but I said could not leave
you, especially as it was uncertain
when we should return"
l knew instinctively that there must
have been a scene between the mother
and daughter, but was not the man to
question Mabel concerning it. l would
not inflict that pain upon my girl.
Now, how it came into my mind, or
what put it there, 1t is beyond me to
say; but as Christmas drew near, /
got 1t fixed in me that Mabel and /
ought to get married before l went to
sea again. The more l thought OF 1t,
the more fixed became the idea and the
stronger my wish. was fearful OF
broaching the subject to Mabel, not
knowing how she would receive 1t In
the absence of her mother; but an in
cident which occurred three days after
her mothers departure gave me the
opportunity and the courage.
had gone to the docks to see after
my ship, expecting to be away until
night, when I was to meet Mabel al
our little cottage of shells. I returned
however, three or four hours sooner
than anticipated, and l went at once
to Mabel's house. 1 heard voices with

periments Of this kind were maze In
1893 between Havre and Beuzeville, as
well as ON the line from Paris to
Nantes, with an electric locomotive
called the Vusee, which is said to have
behaved well throughout the trial trips.
Owing to the success OF this machine,
the company's engineers have now con-
structed two larger and more powerful
locomotives, and 1t is one of these
which has just been tested. The new
electric engines are about 81 feet long
and OF 1850 horsepower. In spite of
their size, they will wear out rails less
than the ordinary locomotives, as their
weight is distributed over eight axles
instead Of over four or five. It Is also
stated that the electric machines will
be safer than the others, owing to their
supple or elastic character, which will
enable them to negotiate curves with
great security when at full speed Great
things are, in fact, expected from these
contrivances, which, when perfected,
will, it is believed, do from 100 to about
l15 miles an hour

led by very astonishing story of the
supernatural, but the mystery has
been cleared up. Recently DIR. Wynne
the Protestant Episcopal bishop of Kill
laloe, and his wife died suddenly or
the same day, says the New York Jour,
nal.
On the afternoon of this day a lady
walking in one Of the suburbs of Dub
lin met a clergyman, whom she sup
posed to be the bishop, and inquired
for Mrs, Wynne. "She," was the reply
lis dead, and" after a pause, "tht
bishop, too, is dead The lady was
quite overcome and on recovering her
self found that the clergyman, whom
she still believed to be the bishop, hat
vanished. She Immediately went ant
explained the mysterious occurrence
to well-known Irish Protestant dfgni
tary, who is a firm believer in super
natural appearances. He said thert
was no doubt that she had been ac
corded an interview with the spirit O
the departed bishop.
The story was extensively circulated
in Dublin society, and was told to
clergyman when visiting the family o
well-known judge. why" said thu
astonished cleric, Il am the bishops
ghost. A lady whom l did not know
came up to me and asked me how Mrs
Wynne was. 1 said she was dead anC
that the bishop was also dead. Thu
lady naturally seemed greatly dis
tressed and 1 passed on" There 4
a very striking likeness between tn
dead bishop and the clergyman TO
