STRANGE EARTHQUAKE PHENOMENA.
Features That Have Been Noted
from Time to Time.

The earthquake is a terrible thing to
encounter. The "quaking," the rend.
ing OF the earth's surface, and the other
incidental Accomplishments usually de-
scribed, are only a 1.-THE OF the real ter
rors of a seismic shock.
10 some the noise which precedes
the real shock is ,nore terror-inspiring
than the quake" Itself. Father Kircher
describes these subtcrranean rumblings
as "a horrid sound resembling that of
an infinite number of chariots driven
l%iercely forward, mingled with the noise
OF cracking whips, neighing of horses.
and the cries OF victory and despair on
the part of the charioteers."
The sounds which preceded the great
Lisbon earthquake are said to have re-
sembled the "rumbling of empty omni-
buses, chariots, and barrels, the noise
Increasing in volume until it equaled
the noise of a thousand cannons."
Another popularity is the gyratory
motion that is frequently impaired to
sections of earth of greater or less area.
AT Colares, in l755.severai stone houses
in the lower quarter of the city were
turned completely round; this, too.
without rendering them uninhabitable.
Then, again, an earthquake is likely
to be attended with great atmospheric
disturbances, such as explosions, thun-
der and lightning, etc.
At Miltittello there was an explosion
in the fog WHICH overhung the city for
several days before the great earth
quake, many houses having their roofs
and upper stories completely ruined as
the result hours before the shock which
completed the awful work of destruc-
ton.
In other instances queer-looking
clouds, in some instances not larger
than a good-sized balloon, will hang
over a spot threatened by an earth
quake for several days prior to the be-
ginning of the terrestrial disturbances.
This was the case in London in the year
1l49, at Munster in 1912, at Lisbon, and
at Riobanda, South America.

Not only that but they possess infin-

They Like Tobacco Smoke.

Philadelphia Record: The French gov
rnment which some years & started
special breeding stations for the raising of
dromedaries in Algiers, has every reason
to be hankfu to the officers who first sug-
gested the plan to the government. The
hard test to which the French authorities
put the dromedaries in the recent cam
paign in the Island of Madagascar proved
how invaluable these animals are for the
transportation of provisions, ammunition
and baggage across plains and mountains,
and even where there are no roads at all.
The dromedaries We're found an indispens-
able auxiliary, and replaced to advantage
the arm of carriers or coolies employed
on previous occasions. Neither horses or
mules are able to stand even one-third of
he atigues and privations of all kinds
which the dromedaries are able to under
go without being apparently affected The
dromedary Is patient, untiring. quiet, at
the same time a rapid traveller, and in the
long run it outsrips even the fleetest horse,
While carrying double the load. 1t can
furthermore stay five days without water,
while any horse woul in the meantime
have become useless. Dromedarles have
been known to continue at an even gait
for seVenty-two hours without resting.
The distance between Cairo and GAIA,
ABOUT 52f miles, was covered by dromedar-
les, carrying ammunition to the Egyptian
army, within forty-eight hours at the time
or the Syrian war. The best dromedary,
for which'a very high price is paid, is the
socalied Abebdeh. a number of this spe-
cies We're taken to Algiers from the Nile
valley, and the result of the experiments
are very gratifying. The Ababdeh is OF
originally Arabic order, and many stories
are told but it's fine qualities. its intelli-
gence. The Ara leader of the drolne-
Diary succeeds very well in making the
dromedary understand his slightest wish
es. and one of the methods of obtaining
good results from a dromedary is to allow
1T occasionally to inhale tobacco smoke,
which the Arabial fellahs do. 1t certain
~ seems odd, but the dromedary has a
very strong craving for smoke, and highly
enjoys .inhaling it whenever given an OPP
portunity- so to do.

Good Looks.


There are more wrinkles in the face
of Il baby monkey than there are in
that Of an old baboon. And speaking
OF wrinkles, more of them can be
wrought out in a fair, young face by
neuralgia than will be found in that of
an aged person. Constant pain will
shrivel, and neuralgia neglected will
plow its burrows deep. 1t not only
wrinkles, but takes the bloom away
and gives the skin a dull and yellow
look. st. Jacobs Oil is a prompt and
sure cure for neuralgia, and it should
be used, as while it sooties and cures.
1t smooths out the tracks of pain. and
leaves the skin healthy and fair again;
besides it rids the sufferer Of much
III and restores a happier dispo-
sition. Good looks come only with good
health, and health is found in the alb,
sence of pain.

THE CUBAN MESSAGE is RECEIVED

Dollars,

Washington, May lS.-The president
has sent the following message to con-
gress:
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives of the United States: Official
information from our consuls in Cuba
establishes the fact that a large num-
Der of American citizens in the island
are in a state of restitution, suffering
for food and medicines. This applies
particularly to the rural districts of the
central and eastern parts. The agricui-
tural classes have been forced from
farms into the nearest towns, where,
without worh or money, the local au-
thoritles of the towns, however kindly
disposed, are unable to relieve the needs
of their own people and altogether pow
erless to help our citizens. The latest
repor of Consul Genera Lee estimates
that from 600 to 500 Americans are with
Il means of support. / assured him
nee relieve them. To that end l recom-
mend congress make ar appropriation
of not less than $50. 900 to be Immediate
ly available for such use under the d.
rection of the secretary of state. 1t is
desirable that n part OF such sum which
may be appropriated by congress should
be in the discretion of the secretary of
state used for the transportation of
American citizens who are DESTROYS to
return to the United States and without
means TO do so

rule for the consideration of the bill
which will prevent amendments, Is was
done with the tariff bill, he will present
the minority report from the committee
