disciple of Esculapius CHANGED along at

of taking bath. His mind was much
occupie d at the time with such abstruse
subjects as the therapeutic value of os-
teopathy, pathological histology. ne
crosis of the metatarsal processes, and
SIGH; so he paid no particular attep ton
to the soap he was lathering himselfall
over with.

club happened TO pass through the
apartment, aud was horror struck on
catching glance of his medical nibs
"Why dOc;Orr' the intruder gasped,
"what in the name of the twelve cons
relations of the zodiac has
happened to you?' Then the doc re-
garded his person to notice also with
horror that he was swatched in a jet
black lather from head to foot. He
had been using that harness soap, an
ingredient of which is strong black. ng.
The Escupaliau smurmured softly to
himsel sweet, silent prayer of for
giveness for the man who had left tn at
soap just where he would find it, and
turned the shower bath on in full. In
few minutes the doc was himself
again. But he fired that harness soap
over the back fence after dressing, and
says he will furnish his own washing
grease hereafter.

There is another little popularity which

but are made. It is only in black that
the ribbon is permissible. One white

Where Earthquakes Are Most Common.
Professor John Milne. who has spent
many years in Japan. where he made q
special study of earthquakes. holds that
no part Of the earth Is 80 often shaken
as the islands Of Japan. During the last
eight or nine years there have been
most three every day. If we had Sc
globe, we should always be able to de-
tect when and where an earthquake was
going to happen. BY means Of an in
strument /. in his house in the isle OF
Wight he had been able to tell that an
earthquake had taken place in Japan.
and the only error he made was In put
ting 1t q minute earlier than was actu-
ally the case.
Some animals showed by their man.
ner when an earthquake was about to
occur. Pheasants were good indicators,
and 80 were geese. Horses were OF some
value because they kicked in their sta
bles. but dogs were useless. The old
story Of the capitol of ancient Rome be-
Ing saved by the caokling Of geese that
aroused the watchmen thus rests upon
q scientific basis, for the birds had
doubtless felt the shaking caused BY tho
tramp, tramp of the coming foe. Profess
or Milne says the Japs build themselves
earthquake proof houses and have other
wise learned to provide against these
great shocks, SO that an earthquake
that once cost $50. 600. 900 now costs
only $4,000. This is surely dirt cheap
Tor an earthquake.
