CEETURY'S DISASTERS.
Some Awful Carastrophes That Have
Occurred

The nineteenth century has made an
ineffacea,le mark upon The world. Inc
march of progress in civilization, IN IN
veiftien and in science has been rapid. anu
future generations Will yield achiIowledg-
Inent 10 the fact. The age Of romance has
not left greater impression upon the liter
AIRY and military history OF the globe than
will the century just closing upon the
general advancement Of the human race.
This very advancement has, however
multiplied the dangers which accrue TO
humanity. since greater civilization has
added perilS peculiarly its own TO those
which already existed.
The nineteenth century has been partic-
ularly unfortunate in disasters which in
their very magnitude haze appalled, the
entire rurnan race. Earthly have
cost the lives of thousands in various
countries of the civilized globe, and fam
inc. tidal waves. fires and floods have
asrded horrors TO the smaller disasters,
while death by shfpwreci: or railway acct
dent mas become familiar terror.
Some of the most disastrous earthquakes
Of the century have been the one which
F3efell India in 1873, when ZOO persons
were Killed. The one which caused a loss
or 5000 lives in Canton, China, in 1880:
that (which buried 1909 persons in Gala
aria in the year 1888. and The one in 1872,
when 5000 were killed in San Domingo.
More Triehtful still was the earthquake
in Southern Italy, when 1900 persisted.
and the one in which 10000 residents OF
Caiahria lost their lives in 1851. Two Years
later in Quito there were 5000 deaths from
III, same cause; in 1880 there We're Zoo in
South America, and in Manila in 1863,
1000.
Indeed, Nl,e COS We're particularly prolific
in deaths by earthquakes. for in "a 1oeo
lives were lost in Mityiene. and in 1868 in
Areauipa and that district there was a
total of 25.ooo The next appalling disas-
ter OF the kind was in San Jose. Colon
bia. in 1919. when no less than li,eoo died.
IN Iclo there were 400 deaths in 1881.
and IN 1883. in Gassa.nicci!o, $3.50 were
killed With 1857 came the weii-remem-
tered horror in Charleston, s. G. when
only torty-one lives were lost. but So
$4,000 worth of property was DESTROYED.
Tn Japan in 1891 1000 died and 5000 We're
injured.
In 1887 came the first greas famine of The
century That OF India. It was followed
10y the great famine which devastated Ire
land nine years later. while ia 1866, co.
