From Nature.
One result of the rapid growth of seis-
mology is the suggestion by DR.. Mario Ba-
rata that provision should be made by in
surance against the damage to buildings
caused by earthquakes in certain countries.
He shows that since the beginning of the
seventeenth century less than forty earth
quakes have been responsible for the deaths
of more than one hundred and fifty thou
sand persons in Italy alone. Moreover to
take but one example, the great loss of life
during the 1schian earthquake of 1888 was
due to the fact that the buildings had al
ready been damaged by the earthquakes of
1923 and 1881. DR.. Baratta points out some
Of the conditions that must determine the
amount Of premium that should be de-
manded by insurance societies. The most
important is the degree of seismicity of
the district: but this would fbe modified by
others, such as the nature of the surface
rocks and the character Of the buildings.

English and Continental Journals
Have Many Differences.
LONDON HAS BUT few NEWSPAPERS
While Paris is Overrun With Small
and Cheap Sheets.
NOTICEABLE FEA TU r E s


From the London Mail.
1t will surprise many people to learn
that, in proportion to its enormous popu-
lation London possesses far fewer news
papers than any other European capital.
Taking our daily morning and evening
papers together, we have a total of twen-
ty-five well-established and widely-read
journals which minister to the Londoners
thirst for news. OF these eighteen treat
of general, political and social news. while
five are purely financial. and two confined
to sporting. This works out average of
one newspaper to every 100000 inhabitants
of Greater London.
Next 70 London, the largest European
city is, of course, Paris, and its 2,500OOO
nha bitants share between them the liter
airy food of fifty-six daily newspapers lover
forty of which are strictly general news
sheets). This is an average of one news
paper to under $1,000 inhabitants. On the
same basis, Berlin. with twenty-six jour-
habitants. Vienna one to 10S,0O0, Rome one
to $4,000, while Madrid and Lisbon have
one newspaper to an average of only D.
0N and IA go inhabitants, respectively.
Next to the laSt-named cities, in regard
to the number of daily newspapers pub
lshed, comes Brussels, with eighteen: then
follows St. Petersburg, with sixteen; Con-
stantinople. with fifteen Vienna and Buda-
pest, with fourteen each: Copenhagen and
with eleven. The remaining capitals are
more modest, though all of them can
boast of at least one newspaper to every
10000 inhabitants.

Striking Differences.

One might very conceivably expect that
newspapers are much alike all the world
over; but as a matter of fact, the daily
journals of the countries above referred to
are produced and circulated in widely diff
ferent ways. many of which are in great
variance with the methods in vogue in Lon
don
Perhaps the most noticeable difference is
in the matter of distribution, for whereas
in London the great bulk of the newspapers
are sold at the news agents. the book stalls
and in the streets, in continental cities they
chiefly sold to regular subscribers, and
delivered by hand or through the post di-
rect from the office of the paper. The
London system has of course, been to some
extent initiated abroad, notably in Paris,
where the evening paper with its flaring
placard and its noisy vendor is a notable
innovations continental journals have very
large numbers of subscribers who pay their
quarterly or yearly Announcements" and re-
ceive the journal of their choice at their
residences day by day Several French
newspapers offer special inducements to
these subscribers in the shape of lottery
tickets. Christmas prizes, and so on.
Another striking difference is in regard
to price, for, while in English cities most
papers are published at penny, in Paris
Rome. Madrid, etc. they are mostly issued
at the equivalent of a hafpenny. English
newspapers are not only much larger and
more "newsy," but infinitely better print
ed. For the most part indeed, continental
journals are excessively bad in this re-
S0ect.

The real value and regular

ably, quote the low price of

Newspaper IIIustratfOn,

Very few continental journals have at
tempted illustrations, though there are one
or two notably the Petit Bleu of Paris
and its namesake in Brussels) which con-
tain very good pictures, and can lay claim
to considerable artistic merit Others are
famous for their excellent cartoons Of
these perhaps the best at the present mo-
ment are the Paris Figaro and the ST. Pc
tersburg Novoe Vremya, whose clever no
l1t:cal skits have frequently been reproduc-
ed IN the Daily Mail. Others there are
particularly in Paris, which publish week
ly Illustrated supplements, printed on good
paper sadly lacking in the daily editions
and in these excellent illustrations are the

Supplements are. indeed, quite a feature
OF the continental press, and there are few
papers which do not at some time or other
issue extra pages devoted to the topic of
the hour. In Madrid they often contain
nothing but lists of prize winning numbers

Vastly Profitable.

One of the most remarkable papers in
ope-indeed, in the worlds the Paris

figures were recently published 1t is a
halfpenny, four-page paper. undoubtedly
the most popular in France, and has a cir

an annual net profit of about 10000. which
would seem to show that steadiness and So

profitable as batting anti-Dreyfusism

the matter of newspapers is Constants

The German and Austrian newspapers
differ considerably from their Latin con-
temporaries. AS rule they are much
heavier-both literally and acknowledgement
consist of q large number of small sheets
(more after the style of our weekly publ
cations). and contain very lengthy leaders
and much political and parliamentary in
telligence. They follow the same plan, how
ever. in regard to "feuilletons," serial
stories, which feature very seldom
missing from continental dailies. But Ger

Beautiful Dress Silk
Waists at S8.85, Worth
from SIS to $3.50.

The line, while not very
large, is, however, a compre-
hensive and representative one,
showing almost every popular
style of the season. The pat
terms and color effect are in
deed rich and beautiful, while
the workmanship is of the very
best. The cheapest waist in
the lot is worth $500, while
the majority of them would
easily command $500 to
$3.50. Many high-sounding
adjectives could be used to tell
of this offering, but let us
simply call it an exceptional
bargain. That you will agree
with us, we have no hesitancy
in admitting.

News of British Victories Welcome and
Opportune.
London, Nov. 27.--The news of the
improved outlook for the British on
both the eastern and western sides of
the South African republics has come
in good time. The constant small re-
verses We're arousing resentment against
the authorities heref. This was shown
by the result of the Wandsworth cleo
ton to the London county council on
Saturday, when the previous conserva-
tive plurality of $40 was converted into
a liberal plurality of 232, though the
conservatives made the war an issue
and their candidate was a military Off
Ger.
To General Lord Methuen it appears,
belongs the honor of the first real Brit
ish victory of the present war, as Bel
mont was the first battle after which
the British advanced instead of retreat
ing. The fact that he was forced to
fight a second battle near the scene of
the first shows that the Beers were not
demoralized at Belmont and met cour-
ageously the splendid assault of the
British Naval brigade at Gras Pan. The
CAcGllelil IlliiltdIy duetiitleS ulSDIdyeu ny
the Beers in these two fights were no
doubt partly derived from the training
of Commandant Albrecht a former off,
Ger of the Austrian army.
General Methuen has already resumed
his march northward and when last
heard from was nearly fifty miles from
Kimberley, and doubtless an action will
have to be fought at Modder river be-
fore Kimberley is relieved.
