EARTHQUAKES BY MAN.
Volumes OF Compressed Air Let Loose
Causing Explosions

| Earthquakes would certainly seem
| 10 belong to the class of accidents de.
scribed as caused by the visitation OF
| God"
There are, however, several authen-
.ic cases of earthquake due solely to
| the carelessness OF man. One Of the
most remarkable of these entirely de-
stroyed the town of Tselieatsing, in
| Northern China.
The damage was caused by a certain
| French conc cSsiunaries, who sank a
shaft 5000 feet deep, in hopes Of tind-
ing water supply for the working of
/ certain tin mines. The expected water
was not reached; but there suddenly
/ Sushed forth an enormous column OF
. oily, evil-smeiling air. which brought
| forth with it large, dark particles, the
whole more resembling the vapOr of a
glowing furnace than ordinary smoke.
The mouth of he shaft was immediate
y surrounded with a high wall, in or
der TO prevent anyone applying fire to
the opening, either by accident or de-
sign. This very thing, nevertheless,
| happened few days later; terrific
explosion ensued. the solid earth
rocked to and fro with frightful vio-
ience, and when the dust and smoke
settled heap of ruins marked the
place where the town had previously
stood. Equally extraordinary, though
less disastrous, was the man-made
earthquake which occurred, in 1862, at
the Lalle Galleries, in France. day
CT two previously miner had driven
| his pick into a long forgotten and in
undated working, and practically all
the colliers working in the pit at the
time were drowned AS the food rose
the gas and air in the interior Of the
mine were compressed with enormous
force against the roof of the workings
| until at last, the pressure overcoming
the resistance of the covering OF earth
terrific explosion ensued, blowing
into the air thousands of tons of de-
| bris and many houses. The effects OF
this artitiCially produced earthquake
were felt at distance of more than
thirty miles from the seat OF the dis
turhance. In Northwestern Pennsyl-
vania, in the year 1873, occurred a
man made earthquake that desolated
several square miles OF country. An
oil well did not flow" quickly enough

coedCd to tickle it up by exploding In
Is interior a heavy charge of nitro
gycerine-a common enough practice
n the Pennsylvania petroleum fields
n those days, and one ordinarily at
tended with but very little risk. IN
fortunately, this particular well seems
to have communicated directly with u
vast subterranean oil reservoir. At all
events, an explosion Of hitherto un-
paralleled magnitude followed. Seven
acres of ground were blown upward.
leaving exposed huge crater-like pit,
from the bottom of which the blaz-
ing oil welled in a mighty food, More
than twenty towns aud villages were
blotted out OF existence, and scores o.
people met with horrible death. The
oil blazed for over year, and cheap
excursions were run to the place from
all parts Of the state

"lF CHRIST SHOULD "
" COME TO MEXICO"

DR.. II. h. llIndc, of this city,
writes an interesting article TO the
st. Louis Christian Advocate on
the PRAYER topic for the churches
for Feb. 10. past. from |. Thcss.
N..1. ,; Is. He does not aim TO
be sensational. but he puts ques-
tion applying to our city which we
all would do well to ponder if we
can not answer. He writes:
The early Christians, including
st. Paul, seem to have looked for
the second coming of Christ at no
distant day. And in all ages Of
the church. to the present day,
there have been those who have
been looking Immediately for this
great event. | have never felt in
tcrcstcd enough to investigate the
question of time. but accepting
the fact that there will be such il
coming have rested in the teaching
that it will come suddenly and un-
eXpectcdlv. and that it is not for
~ to know the times and sea
sons" of this coming. For good
and wise reasons, God has con
ccaled this from the knowledge Of
men and angels. For all practical
purposes with me, death may be
regarded as such an event. AS to
how. or when, or where, | shall
meet Him, does not interest me so
much aS the question. "am | now
ready TO meet Him?" and the inn
portance of ever remaining in this
attitude of readiness. The in
junction that Paul urges upon
these Thessalonians is that of con-
stant service and sober watchful.

THEY CUT GEMS.
Quaint Berkenteid Where There Is But
Ono Occupation.

Among the hills of the Nahe river,
in the grand duchy of Oldenburg. Ger
many, is the curious little principality
of Berkenfeld, with a population OF
about 1900 people. For hundreds OF
years the principle industry OF this
out -the-way place has been the
cutting and polishing of precious and
"half-precious" stones. Although an
improved factory system is just begin
ming to be introduced into the com
munity, most Of the work is still done
in the same old laborious manner in
which it has been for so many genera
tions In the early days there we're
agate quarries in the hillside of Bcrk
enfield, and it is, without doubt, due to
the existence of these quarries that
the chief industry of the prime. Atty
owes its origin. But the quarries of
agate have long since been exhausted,
and now to the hillsides of the quaint
German region comes cargoes of agate,
amethyst, jasper, opal and topaz from
far-away Brazil. lying where the Or
gan mountains lift their heads to the
which the Berkenfelders only dream.
The usual method employed in Berken
field in cutting and polishing these
stones is the following: In a rude hut
by a stream which furnishes the pow
er. four large grindstones about four
feet in diameter are so fixed that their
axes are only about one foot above the
a, T., tl.Ft
part of the grindstonc is below its
level. This lower portion passes
through the water, thus keeping the
stones constantly wet The operator
has a bench or block of wood about
eighteen inches high, followed out to
receive his chest and body. On this
bench he L at full length. and with
his fingers holds the small piece OF
opal, amethyst or other stone which is
to be cut against the grindstone,
slightly above the level of the floor. In
this position the men lie from morn
ing to night, day after day. Con-
sumption usually carries them off at
an early age, but other men are found
to follow this vocation. as the cam
legs are comparatively nigh. The op-
orator usually owns his grindstone, or
at least half of one. This represents
an investment of about $500 and
skillful lapidary can earn from SIS to
s25 per week. He does not usually
cut and polish stones on his own ac-
count, but generally contracts with
manufacturing jewelers.. who furnish
him the stones in the rough. to cut
and polish at certain price per gem.
AS the stones, even in the rough. rep
resent considerable outlay OF money,
the honesty of the workman must be
greatly relied upon, for nobody can
say in advance how many grams OF
finished stones a certain piece of opal,
amethyst or the like may yield.

question of county supervision of

people at the school election in
April. While | cannot speak from
Il practical knowledge of its work
ingS, yet il is a subject that | have
given considerable consideration.
In 1896 there was Il bill before the
Committee on Education TO make
supervision general over the State.
The bill was brought before the
House. and after hard fight was
sent to cngrOssment. After close
count of the House it was found
that the bill could not pass, and it
was never called up. Being ON

fcrrcd, and listening to all the ar
gumcnts for and against it i'll the
