Seismic shocks In caIIfornla.

Point Arena, CAL. April 49,
There were thirty-two distinct
earthquake shocks of unusual
severity during Thursday night.
No material damage was done
here, but at Greenwood houses
were twisted. chimneys fell and
crockery was broken.
The earth continued shaking
until 9 o'clock the next day
At Mendoeino the shake was
even more severe, the earth

Three years ago the fire nend swept
With his scorching breath our town,
And the work Of years in one short hour
Meath his stifIng breath went down,
With n serginE roar from hall to store
He sprang on fiery feet,
And with a mad bound he scorned the ground
AS he leApt across the street.
The track he traversed with ruin was strewn
For hundreds lost their all,
But with Ardmore grit we did not sit
With our toes turted to the wall:

Inside of a AIoIecule.

The New South Wales government
ANALYST, William M. Hamlet, delivered
the presidential address in the section
of chemistry at the recent meeting OF
the Australian Association For the Ad-
vancement of Science, the subject being
1.-THE Molecular Mechanism of an Elec-
trolyte. -
He defined an electrolyte as a body in
solution or state of fusion, capable OF
being instanteously decompOsed by
current of electricity, and he claimed
that if the explanation he offered was
adequate for the electrOlyte it must
hold good for the constitution of the
matter in the universe, SO that the
treatise On the electrolyte has a most
important scientific bearing. The meth
cd of investigating the action Of one
body upon any other, he reminded his
audience, was brought to a high degree
of accuracy by the immortal work Of
Sir Isaac Newton. He alluded to some
observations Of the late Professor Cliff
ford, made over 20 years ago, this au-
thority romarking, almost prpphetical-
ly, eve can look forward to the time
when the structure and motions in the
inside Of molecule will be so vel
known that some future Kant or Laplac'
will be able to make an hypothesi
about the history and formation of mat

"Our cook got 40 cents per diem to

and put peas in the soup. AS servant,
the native is satisfactory if you have

unless the legs of your dining table and

Questioning Is Not Conversation.

The man who imagines that the art
of conversation consists in asking ques-
tions spoils conversation as much as the
man who never asks any. People of this
description will interrupt a speaker as
frequently as they do in the French
chamber, and run anxiously from sub
ject to subject with their interrogatOries,
like a cackling hen that is going to lay
an egg. Horace Walpole, when eXiled
at Houghton, bemoans the existence of
such pest i'll the person of an aunt.
Writing to his friend Sir Horace Mann,
he SAYS Il have an aunt here, a family
piece of goods, an old remnant of in
quisitive hospitality and economy. She
wore me so down by day and night
with interrogations that 1 dreamed all
night she was at my ear with who's,
WHY'S, when's and what's, till at last
in my very sleep 1 cried out, For
heavens sake, madam, ask me no more
questions.
DIR. JOhnson's dislike of being ques-
toned is well known, and he gives the
classic refutation of the habit i'll his
own inimitable style: Sir, questioning
/ is not the mode of conversation among
! gentlemen 1t is assuming superiority
and it is particularly wrong to question
a man concerning himself. Cham

Got a Whole Lot For Nothing.

The man who always wants sone'
thing for nothing made discovery last
week in a Diamond street restaurant. A
waiter upset glass on the marble top.
ped lunch counter, breaking the edge OF
the glass. The waiter carelessly tossed
1t under the counter and got another
with a smooth edge for the customer he
was serving.
"What do you do with glasses thus
slightly damaged?' asked the customer
of the restaurant proprietor, relating
the circumstance.
"Oh, we give them away; have to
get rid of them; can't endanger the hps
of customers by serving them in nicked
glasses. But why are you interested"
"Why, 1 thought if you would give
me few of the old glasses my wife
might use them for jellies.
"Give me your address and I'll send
YOU some" volunteered the restaurant
keeper.
The man with longing for articles
without price went away gleefully, cal
culating mentally ON how much he hao
saved on jelly glasses. Two days later
when he went home from business, N
found 13 barrels in his back yard. Hi
wife said she supposed he had sent them
and she paid the man $4.75 for deliver
ing them. When opened, the barrel
were found to contain broken glasswar
and china of all sorts. None Of it coul
be used, not even for jelly glasses. A
ash hauler charged 81 for taking ava
the rubbish. The man who wants thing
for nothing has withdrawn his patro1

condemn her children to life of suffering
or an early death. That is what she does
if she neglects the health of her special

The Bonapartes always were super

leon. She always had a presentiment
that the rise and fall of her family

the glory which was prophesied for
them would be followed by disaster.
And the prediction was verified. She
died in her eighty seventh year, having
lived long enough to see the downfall
of all her children.
