ST. LOUIS IS SHAKEN
FELT IN SEW.
 ERAL PLACES.
The Movement Reported to Have Been from East to west-High Buildings Shook and Their
 Occupants Rushed Out.

St. Louis. Nov. 4.-Thisa city and vicin- ity experienced a decided earthquake shock or series of shocks at 12:1S o'clock this afternoon. There is a difference of opinion as to how many. The earthquake was perceptible all over the city, and was mostly felt in high building blocks in the down town section. One occupant of a building said his chandelier swung three inches. The movement was from east to west. A long distance telephone message from Louia, Mo. says that a perceptible shock was felt there about the same time
 Some of those in the high buildings hur- ried on the ground before their windows ceased rattling. At the store of R. H. Harris, where the shock was plainly felt several persons became frightened and rushed out into the street. Immediately after the shock the Weather Bureau was besieged by inquiries by telephone from all parts of the city for information about the earthquake.
 A long distance telephone message from Louisiana. Mo-, about 100 miles north of St. Louis. says:
 An earthquake shock was experienced here at 12:1s this afternoon. Reports from Clarksville 16 miles south; Bowling Green, 2 miles west and other places ,inSPike county say 1t was plainly felt there also. No damage resulted here from the shock. Frank Buffman manager of the tele- phone exchange here, says the building in which his office is located rocked and the chandeliers swung perceptibly.
 Tt was felt throughout the city and nearly every building shook" said MT. Huffman, A farmer called up from near Clarksville and said all the dishes in his house had been shaken off the shelves"
 About one hour later another shock Is reported to have been felt. It was less severe than the first.

BATH FOR BOYS IN FINLAND.
It is Not as Enjoyable as Like Opera
tions in Other Countries.

When the boys of Finland want to
take bath this is the way they do it:
In the first place, it is very, very cold
in Finland-and the bathroom is not
in the house at all, but is a building
quite separate. 1t is a round building,
about the size of an ordinary room
There are no windows. so light and air
can only come in when the door is
open Inside benches are built all
along the wall. and in the center is a
great pile of loose stones. Early on
Saturday morning wood is brought in
and a great vessel standing near the
stones is filled with water.
Then someone cuts so many birch
switches, and these are placed on the
1oor cf the bathhouse. Next the fire
is made under the stones, and it burns
all morning. In the afternoon, when
the stones are very hot, the fire is put
out, the place is swept clean and all
is ready.
The boys undress in their homes and
'un to the bathhouse. AS it is general
y 80 below zero, you may be sure they
10 it in doublequick time. AS soon as
they are in the bathhouse they shut
he door tight and begin to throw water
On the not stones. This of course,
makes the steam rise. More water Is
tnrGwn on. and there is more steam
until the place is quite full of it.
And now comes the part that Amerl-
oan boys would not like at all. Haen
boy takes a birch switch and falls to
whipping his companions. This is tc
make the blood circulate, and though
it is real hard whipping no one objects,
but all think it great fun. At last
