but it won't last long At least the
man of original ideas who invented
the artificial earthquake says he can
provide half dozen first-class shocks
a day at hour intervals and guaran
tee that none of those wishing to try
how 1t feels to be an earthquake vic
tim will retire from the scene of the
disturbance in fragments, but will ex-
perience all the joys of being shaken
into a state of coma in the violent en-
brace Of Mother Earth without the
slightest harm resulting.
The committee Of the exposition,
while regarding the idea as excellent
in the abstract, are rather inclined to
shake their heads at the cylinder-ex-
plosion part of the project. Gas ex-
p1osions are not the gentle-mannered
forces with which tourists to exposi-
tions are DESTROYS of amusing them
selves. Some day, 1t is argued by the
more conservative members of the
committee. the gas may be more than
usually playful and with an augu-
mentation of force such as reckless and
exhibit, it will lannch the whole ag-
gregation of seekers after practical
seismic knowledge into the upper re-
gions as warning not to get on too
intimate terms with the store house of
forces. Could it be done without the
explosion the management OF the eX-
position would be delighted to give
the visitors a department of earth
quakes in full working order. 1t is
suggested that some plan might be ar
rived at whereby the effect of an earth
quake could be obtained by an up
heaval of the ground through the
medium of machinery which would lift
and break and shake the earth in
regular and systematic manner. with
the assures always running in the
same direction instead of following the
eccentric movements of an explosion of
gas. The machine-made earthquake
would of course be less thrilling than
that provided after the same fashion
as the real article Is supposed to be, a
spice of danger attaching to it, but the
mere suggestion of experiencing an
earthquake shock, just for the fun of
it, has a fin de steele charm about it
that may cause pressure to be brought
on the exposition managers to agree to
the gas explosion idea.
To those who are disposed to ridi-
Guile the suggestion of an artificial
earthquake made in the manner pro-
posed as not being near enough to the
real cause of the trembling of the

to the man who had not eaten: Your

The man was removed and promptly

values, the originator of the earth
quake idea replies that as no one can
speak confidently regarding the pro
ducing cause of these phenomena, he
is as near to the truth in his project
as any one else has ever been. In this
he is, of course, right for the reasons
given for seismic disturbances have
been always theoretical, direct Cbser

of the destructiveness that caused 49,,

ton with his earthquake performance
the originator suggests that, as with
the artificial volcano that is talked of
as one of the features of the exposition
there shall be lectures and gatherings
OF scientists to try and thrash out the
various theories as to the nature of the
phenomena and arrive at some definite
solution of the problem. The earth
quake promoter has gathered together
an elaborate mass of information on
the subject, which he says he will
have printed for the benefit of the Wis
itors, and with this and the lectures
and discussions and the actual expert
ence of good shaking up in the
quake itself, he argues that what Wis

In many of these homes are the

Special CORES pondence of the Standard
Paris, Sept. 25.-The latest and GER

proposed to the Paris exposition COM
mittee is to have true-to-nature

the rumbling and shaking and general
accumulation and elimination of ter

So remarkable is, the suggestion con-

be discarded it is possible that a way
will be opened for this new sensation
