japanese shock of June 10, 1896, were
recorded on the self-registering gauges

calculated velocity OF the earthquake
waves with the velocity formerly cal
culated from the usual formula. He
found that at Saucelito. for example,
the first crest Of the waves reached the
tidal gauge 10 hours and "a minutes
after the shock. having travcrsed in
this time the distance of 4,7S7 miles at
an average OF GA feet a second.

Wilt thou make good what we have
given?
Nay, nay, spake the Swan, thou
should thank God that thou art
living.
Then, boys, we viii call off the horse.
Mac, keep the steed,
For such an animal what Swan has
need.
Can he not swim and walk, and thus
save his pence
If not put to this unnecessary expense?
OF feeding a horse.
Well spoken, all did shout
AS I'm single file they all marched out,
Not having much enjoyed their lunch,
They were a sad, detected bunch.
And tle thoughts Of presents given be.
before
Made each and all feel very sore.
Mid the bunch there were audible
sobs
AS they thought of the uncertainty Of
their jobs,
And the sudden demise Of their
friend the Swan.
So the policy Of the Swan seemed to be
I'll tickle you IL youll tickle me.
And his friends stuck to him while he
could befriend them,
And they all took a sneak when he
could not serve them.
Such is the fate Of the Swan.

THE CROW FEAST.
Dedicated to the Very Sincere Friends

Who feasted the Swan? inquired the
Crane.

Under my solemn auspices the feast
went on,
And 1 witnessed the presentation Of
the Crayon
To my old friend the Swan.
Were there others at the feast? asked
the Crane,
Yes, whispered the Crow many could
name.
They all appeared happy, merry and
glad
But ere long all seemed gloomy and
sad
AS did also my old friend the Swan.
have not met your friend the swan,
said the Crane
Is he like other Swans-or about the
same?
No, answered the Grow, my friend is
a bird.
All he is a bird yes, he is a bird.
My old friend the Swan.
When with modest boast he gave the
toast,
That no longer could he be their host,
That pastures new he needs must seek,
All looked SAD and very meek,
AS thus spake my friend the Swan
What sayest thou? asked Charles, his
jester,
We're here to make merry, and not to
poster.
In our pleasure tonight there shall be
no structure.
Here's health to the Swan and good
luck 10 his picture.
And my friend the Swan drank In
silence.
But one less timid than the rest, arose
and ventured this request;
II thou be gone from us hence.
And you return we know not whence

The Swan feast
AS Told in Rhyme By the POet(eSS)
of the
BUREAU OF ENG. AND PRINTING.
How Mr. Swan Worked the Presents Racket
and Lost His Horse and Job in The End-The
Whole StoU In Rhyme Except the Scandals
Which Are Flying Around Among Tho Ladies'
A Rich and RaCey "Pome

Chief Clerk Swan. late of the Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing has man
aged, through his friends in the bu-
reau, to smother the graver scandals
connected with his resignation, but
CROUCH has cropped out to make inter
estipg reading for the general public.
L. appears that besides being i'm de-
cided dishabille in his room, with the
door locked on frequent occasions to
the scandal of those cognizant of the
fact that a lady employe was corralled
iu an adjoining room, where she must
either have seen or heard the chief
clerk going through his abolutions,
shaving, etc. Ii is the electra the
employees gossip about, and i'm justice
to Mr. Swan The Globe refarns from
reproducing this intangible gossip.
However, Mr.. Swan appears in a
somewhat ridiculous light I'm connec-
ton with the attempted presentation
Of a horse to him by his underlings
and those desiring to stand in with
the powers that be. The subscription
list made the rounds of the bureau
and all would have been we'll. perhaps,
IL the toadies had confined their soi-
citations to their own kind, but made
bold by their pulls they attempted to
coerce and bulldoze the Independent
and manly employees, and it was right
here Mr.. Swan came to the ground in
a very hard fall The attempted
"blackmail" of the employees by the
lick spittles was reported, and a row
was the immediate result, in which
Mr.. Swan endeavored to save himself
fnaIlial ftpn Hin u
Off" the subscription lists. 8 Dsequent
developments show that this action Of
Mr. Swan was too late, and added to
the other and unprintable or unmen-
tiorable charges forced his resigna-
tiOn
The bureau poet thereupon mounted
his Pegasis, and celebrated the affair
in the following immortal verse, which
is neatly printed on slips Of white
paper and passed around among the
employees The Globe, of course, cor
rallied one of these slips despite the ef-
forts Of '.,erested parties to shut us
out. We present it to the hundreds
I'm the bureau who couldn't get even
a glimpse at the verses, and to the gen
eral public, who win be no doubt inter
ested In the evidence Of latent genius
exhibited by the lORg-hdired poet Cshe
is a LADY, of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing in this, = greatest et-
fort of her life.
The poem shows that Mr.. Swan had
received many presents before, among
them his mug in oils. He gave the
gang a spread, where he expected to be
presented with the horse, but the gang,
ascertaining that his name was Den
mis-. and that, in fact, his resignation
had been demanded, deserted the table
and left Mr. Swan to ruminate over
the ingratitude and heartless friend
ship Of toadies Here is the poem,
which tells it's own tale Of Woe:

standing there is fence between the
lawyers and jurors. Yesterday he was
leaning on that fence, when the court re
marked, THAT railing looks as thought
would stand alone. Mr. Patton" He OF

A NOTE OF WARNING,

a NOEE or " ARNINu'
Rev. Thomas J. Conaty, rector Of the
Catholic university of Washing on. D. {,
sounds note of warning to Catholics
aud bids them to redoube their efforts
i, behalf of parochial schools, for which.
he asserts, the church spent $4,000, 900
list year. The reverend father exposes
the wisdom of Colorados and other con
s.i,uton makers and Legislators in estab
lishiug state universities, when he points
out the high grade Of these institutions,
the elm nation Of the college and the
establishment Of the high school CON.
nection with the university. is the most
serious menace to that non progressive
church and to its parochal school sys.
tenn. He summaries the Catholic
danger in the following paragraph:
Entering into general view Of the
situation which presents itself said
Monsignor Conaty, at is important TO
realize the meaning of the facts which
face US. Among these facts must be
reckoned the state school system, with
its rapidly increasing high school and
even college development, the tendency
to do away with college by uniting the
high school to the university, and estab
lishment of educational institutions OF
all sorts, endowed by private munihcencs
of non Catholics and attracting Catholic
students because these schools have no,
the character OF state institutions, the
tendency of the universities to control
the state schools, 10 dictate the ex
aminations Of teachers and 10 demand
the university degree Of approval as a
condition of appointment"
This is high praise. indeed, for the
American educational system. the only
system calculated to remove our school:
from the dictation OF special interest:
and monks.
