Columbia bowed to Moroni and Mo-
roni returned the salutation- Then
large proportion of the population of
Salt Lake got up hurriedly and put in
moment or two in wondering what
had happened. This was shortly be-
fore o'clock yesterday morning. Mo-.
roni, from his perch ON the temple, and
Columbia from her lofty position on the
tower of the joint building, had gotten
friendly on account of seismic dis
turbanee that was as distant as it was
short.
Some people didn't feel the agitation
of the earth at all. but those who did
notice it were impressed sufficiently.
Windows ratified and glasses clinked
against each other in china closets.
Buildings trembied perceptibly with
sort of swaying motion that was not
particularly calculated to create joy in

the breasts of men and women in tall
buildings.
Varied Sensations Caused.
The sensations experienced by indi-
viduals were variously described. One
woman was sure she saw her bed room
floor wave like carpet that is being
shaken out on the grass" Others had
equally startling tales to tell, but such
cases found few believers. So far as
known. the earthquake did not do the
slightest damage.
The majority of persons thought that
furnaces had blown up, water pipes
bursted or steam heaters exploded.
They didn't think of earthquakes until
later in the day.
Another curious thing is the fact that
il was the wives instead of the nus
bands who were startled by the shock
and who knew more of it. That was
an unconscious confession that the hus
bands lay in bed while the wives arose
TO build the fires. Of course, these
gentlemen didn't realize that they were
telling domestic secrets, but they were
doing SO.
There was more evidence yesterday
that wives get up in cold, wintry morn
ings, when the frost is on the pane
and the poker feels like the eighty
seventh latitude line. than has ever be-
fore come to light in Salt Lake. Sub
stantial looking men who have energy
and activity confessed in their accounts
that they were doing between warm
blankets waiting until their wives had
built fires by which they could dress in
comfort.
My wife felt the Shock said
man at Billy Young's cafe on Main
street, but 1 hadn't got up yet. She
was frightened and she came to awake
me. She said it felt like the rumble
of railway train
Another man dreamed that he heard
a burglar rapping on his window pane.
and a third said that he believed the
furnace in his cellar had blown up.
He had energy enough to go down to
look, but the furnace was still there.
Then he came to the conclusion that it
was but a dream, the relic of a mid
night mince pie, so he climbed into bed
while his better half cooked breakfast
and warmed his socks.
Weather Observer Murdoch insisted
that he was not responsible for the
quake. He had not ordered it, and
couldn't understand just why it had
insisted On showing up at the time it
did Mr.. Murdoch was at home and in
bed when the shock came.
Mr.. Grunow's Impressions.
His assistant, Mr.. Grunow, who was
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-12-14

has been instructing his classes on this
very phenomenon. and only a few days
ago he said, jokingly, that he would
try to have an earthquake ordered for
the special benefit of his students.
DR.. Talmage's Theory.
Il heard it distinctly enough and felt
my house rock under it's power said
DIR. Talmage. II have been endeavor-
| ing to ascertain during the day as to
whether it originated at the base of
the Wasatch and passed outward into
the basin or lake, or whether it came
in from the basin and went towards
the Wasatch. The base of the Wasatch
range is determined by a great fault
or Slip Besides this fault there are
many minor faults sometimes indicat-
ing a slip of but few feet. Now, when
crushed blocks slip one upon another
an earth jar is started. If these crushed
blocks are large and the displace-
ment great, the earth jar may be very
violent. If but small slip occurs
mere tre1nor may result. The westerns
base of the Wasatch marks such a
fault and in all probability the crushed
blocks along that line settle from time
to time to positions of greater stability, |
and thus cause jars

London. Dec 14.-Eaeh important
battle seems to bring worse reverse

produced The Morning Post says:
I'VE have had our day of humilia-
ton appointed for u.s. Let US accept it
humbly and soberly, and be better and
stronger for the lesson it has taught
us. This last reverse will make us a
fresh butt of Europe. There never was
a more apt occasion to prove to Europe
