A Georgia Princess.
A Touching Tale.

When Vivekanandi, the Hindu
monk, visited Chicago during the
Worlds Fair, he was greatly delighted
one afternoon to learn that the Inter
national Beauty show" on the Midway
Plaisance contained an East Indian
princess. He lost no time. says the
Chicago Times Herald, in visiting the
show In one of the booths was q
dusky damsel, arrayed in East Indian
costume, and prominently placarded
i as a charmer from the land OF the
Gangees.
Vivekanandi addressed her politely
in Hindustanee, and for his pains was
rewarded by stare Of blank astonish-
ment. Then he tried Cingalese with
no better success, and also the several
allied dialects of the interior provinces
Ibf India At last the dusky beauty
spoke in sheer self-defense:
Go way man." she said, "you mus
be crazy"
Excuse me-" remarked Vivekanan-
di, in faultless English, "but will you
kindly tell me where you were born? z"
Use born in Savannah, an Use dun
lived in Georgy all nah life" she said,
,"but yo' can't fool wild me, if you is
stuck up no'thern niggah!" And h'
didn't try to do so.

Joy Ver,us Sorrow.

No human being can come into the
world without increasing or diminish
ing the sum total of human happiness,
not only of the present. but of every
subsequent age of humanity. No one
can detach himself from this connec-
tion. There is no sequestered spot in
the universe, no dark niche along the
disk of non-existence to which he can
retreat from his relations to others.
where he can withdraw his influence of
his existence upon the moral destiny of
the world; everywhere lie will have
companions who will be better or worse
for his influence.

SEISMIC DISTURBANCES.

Professor Rowland Advances Theory
on Earthquakes.
The Baltimore Sun publishes the fol-
lowing interview with Prof. Henry A.
Rowland, of Johns Hopkins, on the
theory of earthquakes:
Earthquakes are phenomena that
scientists do not yet clearly under
stand. 1t is difficult to determine what
causes them.
Some assert that they are caused by
waters of the sea pouring into crevices
in the earth's crust and thus coming
into contact with the fiery elements in
the earth's center. The result of this
would be similar to gigantic boiler
explosion.
'Other theorists hold that earth
quakes are caused by the contraction
of the earth's crust. The earth is con-
stantly cooling, and it is held that the
outer crust necessarily contracts. This
is sometimes done by fits and starts,
and immense shelves or rocks, portions
of the earth's outer skin, or strata,
after being subjected to immense pres
sure, suddenly yield to the strain and
overlap each other. Done under great
pressure and over a large territory,
this causes a disturbance of the earth's
surface, which is plainly felt and which
we call an earthquake. Scientists of
today seem generally inclined to this
latter theory.
mo one can predict the coming of an
earthquake nor why it is felt in certain
localities more than in others except
upon the theory that disturbances in
the crust of the earth are generally re-
gional and the waves sent out die away
after a time. These waves move more
rapidly than sound and also have about
the same horizontal velocity from
heavy as from a light quake. This We
locity is somewere in the neighborhood
of a mile a second. A very slight back
ward and forward movement of an
inch would throw down nearly every
building under which it passed.
Earthquakes are more frequent in
volcanic countries continued Prof.
Rowland, because the earth's crust is
thinner there, and not because of the
presence of the volcanoes. The fact of
volcanoes existing is a proof of the
thinness of the earth's crust. In Jap
an, where earthquakes are of frequent
occurrence, scientists have set them
selves to study the phenomena. The
an instrument especially
designed for the purpose, is much used
there. 1t is little used in this country
because a railroad train passing within
a mile and a half of it disturbs it.
"The earthquake tremors felt here
were no doubt caused by the contrac-
ton of the earth's crust somewhere
beneath this section of the country"

that the Eruption of cabintmakers
from Australia since threatened has
not taken place. 1t must be admitted,
however, that the department has pc
culiar notions of classifying occupa-
lions. One Chinese is set down as be-
ing occupied as a swagger, and FIVE are
represented to be earning their liveli-
hood as dodgers or boarders. There is
also Matchmaker, though it might be
supposed that branch of manual in

LIVE IN A SINGLE ROOM.
Crowded Condition OF Houses Oc-
cupied hN Mechanics.


A hundred years ago the English
artisan commonly worked for about Y
hours a week. BY 1897 the 10-hour day
was becoming generally established for
town artisans. In 1S47 the 10 hours
act made il the rule for textile opera
tives Much overtime, however, was
worked, and there was no Saturday
haIf-holiday. Since that time Sir R.
Giffen computes that the hours Of labor
have been reduced, on an average, by
20 per cent. Mr.. Webb thinks this es-
innate over the mark In this respect
the textile industries are not typical Of
others. Take, for instance, our rail-
way servants cit is difficult to see
how the directors of 1887 and the early
'40's could get more than 10 hours a
day out of their men, as the North
British Railway was trying to do in
1899 Even now, according to official
returns, the general average among
railway workers is Il hours day,
with a great deal of Sunday labor.
sistants, barmen, and barmaids, tram
way and omnibus men. Altogether
progress in this direction has been very
partial, and to some extent, by reason
of overtime, illusory." Over crowding
in London, according to the late Lord
Shaftesbury, has become more serious
than it ever was. The following fig
ures, from the census of 1891 speak for
themselves In Glasgow one-third of
the number of families dwell in sim
gle room each; for the whole of Scot
land the proportion is % per cent which
means that 100000 persons, or more
than one-eighth of the whole popula-
ton, live in single room tenements. In
England there are nearly 2S7 900 sim
gle tenements, containing $40 900 per-
sons, or an average of 223 persons to
a room.
In London, which stands mid way
between the greatest and the least
crowding, 1911 per cent Of the pOpula-
ton live in one roOmed tenements; in
Gateshead 40.7S per cent so live. The
conclusion seems to be this: IF we
took each department of life in turn,
and fixed datum line below which we
considered that the workman could
not decently live, we should find, alike
in wages, hours of work, dwelling, and
general civilization, that the percent
age of those who fell below the line is
less now than it was in 1897 But we
should discover also that the lowest
level reached was quite as low as that
time and that the total number falling
below our assumed datum line is, in
actual magnitude, probably greater
than in 1887. ''-EXchange

Prof. William B. Dwight, of Vassar
College, has invented a machine that
will slice rock so thin that it can be
used for a window transparency. This
feat is accomplished by means of Sc
ries of thin discs with edges charged
with diamond dust The machine will
cut fossils or rock of any description
so thin that one may see through it as
easily as through the glass of a win
dow. To such degree of nicely is the
machine regulated that it will cut the
most brittle rock to the thickness of
one-fiftieth of an inch.
