Earthquakes of a Century.

The friehtIul catastophre in the Isl.
and of Martinique recalls some of the
most notable earthquakes and volcanic
cataclysms that occurred within the
last century.
In 1871 occurred what is known as
the New Madrid, Mo-, earthquake.
The seismic shocks affected the earth
for 300 miles south Of the mouth of the
Ohio river and continued for several
successive months. The ground rose
and sank in great waves. Fissures
were opened, lakes were drained, the
earth was upheaved aud depressed in
large sections and new lakes formed.
Reelfoot Lake, in the western part of
this state, was formed by that earth
quake. The country affected was not
thickly settled at the time and there
was no great loss of life.
AS the last of the disturbances in the
Mississippi Valley ceased the great
earthquake in Venezuela occurred on
March u, 1912, which destroyed Car
acas in fifty minutes, causing the death
of l2, 600 of the residents. In 1922 an
earthquake gave Chila R severe shaking
ank raised 100, 600 square miles of land
lying between the Andes and the sea
from two to seven feet. In 1885 the
city of Conception was destroyed for
the fourth time. In 1859 Quito, in Ec-
uador, was almost destroyed by a seis-
mic shock.
In 1919 an earthquake submerged
1900 square miles of land in India at
the mouth of the Indus In 1888 the
volcano Of Asama, in Japan, exploded
and overwhelmed forty-two villages,
and in 1888 Bandaisan. in Japrn, had
an eruption which sent out lava stream
one hundred feet deep and from five to
fifteen miles wide, which travelled at
the rate of forty-fve miles an hour.
The Charleston earthquake occurred
August 81, 1899, and, besides doing
considerable damage to buildings,
caused the loss of sixty-one lives.
The Galveston tidal wave, with its
great destruction of life and property,
is fresh in the minds of the public. 1t
occurred in September 1900. Nashville

Effect of Decision.

The supreme court of the United
States passed upon a Tennessee case
yesterday involving the right of a state
to pass such election laws as it deemed
wise and judicious. The district court
of Tennessee had delivered a decision
adverse to the Dorch law, and the state
appealed the case to the supreme court,
which tribunal has now reversed the
ruling of the district court. This will
be rather discouraging to those who
have contended that the United States
government has right under the con
stitution to interfere in such matters. -

Editor of the Comet:
Dear Sir-Phillips Academy, Andov-
er, Mass, has recently established a
department Of Archaeology. My OBJ
ject in writing you is to encourage the
preservation of stone, bone and clay
prehistoric art forms. In your section
of she country are frequently found va
rious "Indian relics. These have a
direct bearing on the history or rather
-history-of America, and us such
should be preserved in freproof build
ings for the study and edi6cation of
present and future generations.
/ am persuaded that there may be
persons who have found some remains
of the ancient Indian tribes, "Mound
Builders, etc, and that, possibly, they
would be willing to send them to MS.
We shall be glad to pay express charges
on any and all boxes of specimens sent
to us, to mention the gifts in our report
and to give the donors due credit in
our exhibition cases.
All these axes, pipes, spear heads
clay vessels and " strange stones,
should be carefully preserved some
where, where they may be of service tt
the public and to science. Archaeology
technically followed-is a new SCI
ence in the United States aud it is NOR,
important than the average reader i'm

session. Thanking you, ! am,

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought of using anything else
for indigestion or biliousness. Doctors
were scarce, and they seldom heard of
appendicitis, nervous prOstration or
heart failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and
stop fermentation Of undigested food,
regulate the action of the liver, stimu-
late the nervous and organic action of
the system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with head
aches and other aches. You only need

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

We congratulate the people of Ten

ment of the public school system as in
.augurated and extended by the demo-
cratic party, affording educational op.
portunities to all the children of the
state without reference to their individ-
ual abilities, to provide such facilities
for themselves. Responsible for the
intuition and fostering of the present
system of public schools, the democrat
ic party pledges itself anew to the de.
velopment of this work of first impor-
tance and particularly favors such leg
islation as will provide, wherever need
ed, longer scholastic term. The en-
actment of the law providing for uni
form textbooks having resulted in a
large saving to the school children of
the state in the cost of school books, we
favor the continuance of this system
and pledge the party to its maintenance
and enforcement.
