SEISMIC HORRORS

1t is noticeable that the present -erup-
tons and earthquakes in the West In
dies are all in proximity to old craters
have suddenly resumed activity with dis
astrous results. The fact suggests that,
as there is often sympathetic disturb
ance in regions Of other extinct craters,
these insular movements may be repeated
in the earthquake region Of Central and
South America, where there was once in
tense volcanic and seismic activity. Con-
currently, indeed, with the Martinique de-
velopments, there is disastrous activity in
Guatemala and it may be expected that all
the extinct craters through Central Amer
lea may become, without warning, active
volcanoes with concurrent shocks of
earthquake. The whole region of Cen
trail Anne RIGA was once subject to inter-
mittent disturbance of this kind, and it
may be easily imagined thatna ship canal
constructed through Nicaragua or through
the state of Panama would fare very badly
under the touch of an earthquake. 1t can
not be denied that there is real danger Of
disaster to any ship canal which may be
constructed in that region by whatever
route d.. ..-..
There is a close connection between VOL
canoes and earthquakes, volcanoes often
acting as safety valves to minimize the
force of earthquakes, but there is pre-
which is now utilized by science and some
degree of protection is afforded by the
warnings which enable people to attain
sometimes large measure of safety
against falling buildings. In earthquake
regions, where the recurrence of shocks
is frequent, people become somewhat
apathetic and take the treacherous ire
and if their dwellings are ruined they re-
build on the same site. This requires
nerve, for in some localities,4as 4ins& the
Sandwich islands, there have been years
when in a single month over two thou
sand shocks have been experienced and in
Greece the tremors have sometimes con-
tinued for wears and in Japan there is
never Ia day without some shock. In
California minor shocks are frequent.
Our whole Pacific coast Isl in fact, liable
to severe VOLCANIC and earthquake action,
for it was once the arena of such disturb
ance, which may be resumed suddenly
some day. -..- -.-,
AS rule, to which there are exceptions,
the communities suffer most from earth
quakes where they are located on alluvial
plains. Had the thousands who took
refuge on the quay in the great Lisbon
earthquake kept in, the upper part of the
city, the mortality would have been COM
paratively light. The quay was con-
structed upon alluvial soil which yielded
at once to the powerful blows from below
and went down with some $4,000 people on
it and all were lost in the chasm.
There have been many causes assigned
for earthquakes, but scientists are CRAWL
tating toward the theory that an earth
quake is the result of discharges of ter
restrial electricity accumulated down in
the earth. which is a great reservoir of
electro motive force. This theory is be-
gotten of the fact that electricity is the
greatest force known to us. 1t is probably
approximately correct.

"A fIOre Excellent Way. F"

Some time ago We were mdct
annoyed by a little boy who per
sisted in mounting our fence and
sitting there, Notwithstanding the
fierce barking and violent opposi-
ton OF our dog, who would not
even allow a cat that privilege il
be could possibly prevent it. The
boy appeared to take the greatest
delight in hearing the dog bark,
and in seeing how high he conld
make him jump, though some of
on: .lOre quiet neighbors seriously
objected to the commotion.
AS We had not yet become ae-
qnainted with the boys parents,
We decided not to introduce our
selves to them by complaining of
their little son, but to wait patient
ly until the matter could be settled
amicsbly.
Suddenly we thought of very
simple plan which proved effectuaI
in ending the strife instantly and
forever, besides gaining for us a
friend in the person of our dogs
little enemy. After making a bag
OF white muslin, we filled it with
chestnuts and sswed it securely;
then, taking a seat at an upper
window, we awaited the small in
truder, who soon made his appear
ance, ready to mount the fence as
usual-the dog also prepared for
the exciting contest. Opening the
window, We directed the boy to
catch the bag which we would
throw down to him, which he ac7
eOmpliShed cleVerly, considering
the distance.
After an investigation, which
seemed to prove satisfactory, he
looked up and thanked us politely.
Quietly and quickly boy and bag
vanished from our sight. We
surmissd that this hasty retreat
meaut a proclamation Of peace
that the last gun had been fred and
that hostilities would instantly
cease.
The dog seemed to wonder why
the anticipated struggle had ended
~ Sh a peculiar manner, and
why his antagonist had not appear
ed upon the scene at all. The
also may have been puz-
zled when they heard no loud bark
ing that day.
After this, when we met on the
street, as we frequently did, we
were not only amused but gratifed
to see how quickly the little cap
was ierked off while the small own
