simply obliterates a thing to show
that he is awake and on the watch.
A well known French writer, hav-
ing published an article on Russia,
in a well known French review,
went about the date of issue to

Whelmed him with congratula-
lions for his temperate criticism.
What then was his establishment
at discovering that every copy Of
the review that was supplied to.
the public in the ordinary way was
minus his article, which had been
clean excised. The censor, when
asked to explain, said that the ar
ticle contained nothing objection
able, but that he could not pass
it all, and so thought it best to cut
out the whole oft.
Foreign books are also subject
ed to another censor, and as the
various censOrs do not work to-
gether, it may happen that what
is forbidden in the original is al
lowed in a translation. Thus, for
instance, Zola's famous novel
Mana was prohibited by the Of.
fetal whose business it was to
look after books that were being
imported into Russia, whereas an.
other censor allowed it to appear
in a translation in a newspaper,
under the form of a,fe~uilletOn.

EARTHQUAKES.

Rigidity Of Globe.
All that relates to those terri.
BILE disturbances called earth
quakes is of interest, and the re.
port presented by Prof. John
Milne to the British association
on behalf of the chronological in.
yestigation committee is likely to
attract much attention, saws
Chambers journal. 1t is there
stated that at present there are
eight districts in the world from
which very large earthquakes take
their origin. Seven of these are in
sub-oceanic troughs, five of which
fringe on the shores of the Pa
cifc, and the eighth is in the eau.
c~asian-Himalayan region. Each
of these large earthquake centers
has been found capable Of shak-
ing the world throughout it's
mass and over it's entire surface;
whilst the neighboring broken-up
strata have been left in unstable
condition, and have given rise to
after-shOcks. Earthquake move
ment is propagated round the
world at about three kilometers
and three-tenths per second whilst
that which goes through the
world is variable along paths
which do not exceed 40 miles in
depth-a depth at which rock
matter may probably become
fused. 1t is inferred from these
observations that the world has
a very high rigidity. Many years
ago Lord Kelvin suggested that
the globe was as rigid as one of
glass of equal size would be, and
possibly as rigid as one of steel.
Modern observation seems to in
dOrse this view.

for the time being be able TO see another mans point Of view, and CONF
pare that point of view with his own impressions.
It is unfortunate, in my opinion, for a man when he begins to
meet with success to assume a superior social attitude. When wealth
brings comforts and luxuries to a man it is a sad mistake for him to
place himself, in his own estimation above his fellows merely be-
cause he is enabled to comminge with wealth and a high social status.
Tile man who is as receptive of the opinion OF the man on the
street as he is Of the men in high office is bound to be broad-mnded
This is particularly true Of political questions 1t may be said
that it is The man on the street who practically decides the greatest
questions Of this country. Its the opinion Of the people that counts.
Much credit is given the selfmade man, but one Of the dangers
is that he is apt to pay too much compliment TO his own achieve
ments.
In my opinion, it is much more credtable for the son Of veal
thy man to succeed than it is for the son Of a poor man, under ordi-
nary conditions. The young man who is surrounded with plenty and
pleasures temptations has more thrust in his path to dull his ambition
and energy than he who has to apply all his time and energies toward
making a living. In the case of the latter it is, fguratvely speaking,
like the puppy. thrown into the water; tits sink or swim. With the
former, he must first put himself in the poor mans place to acquire the
qualifications that lead to success"

Some people think they only yawn

You are sleepy because you arc

just yawn. Don't try to suppress
it because you think it is impolite
to yawn. Putyour hand over your
mouth if you want to, but let the
yawn come. Aud if you are where
you can stretch at the same time
that you yawn, just stretch and

Don't be afraid to open your
mouth wide and yawn and stretch
whenever you feel like it. Indeed.
if you are very tired, and do moi

that will rest you so quickly as to

Ridiculous and E~xasperating Function

airy in Cars Domain.
However much an Englishman
resident in Russia may be en-,
amored of that fascinating coun
try, says the Pail Mall Gazette, it
is not likely that he will wish to.
cut himself off from western civ
ilizatiOn, and if he is located in 4
good sized town he will soon begin.
to look around to see what facili
ties he has for obtaining foreign
newspapers. Some he may find in
a cafe, others in a hotel, but if he
wants them for his private read
ing he may not improbably dis
cover a kiosk where French, Ger
man and even English papers are
on sale. a little experience, how
ever, will teach him that he can
not rely upon this source, for the
supply will be irregular, and,
worse stiIl, the papers will have
passed through the hands Of that
justly dreaded individual, the
Russian censor.
As.the news about Russia in the
Journals Of other countries is
often inconsiderable in quantity,
the censor will not always use his
scissors, but will content himself
with blotting out the offending
passages with printers ink, and,
as sand is used to dry this, the
reader can generally guess to what
extent the censor has been at
work by the amount of sand that
comes tumbling out from between
the leaves as soon as he opens the
paper. And unluckily there is no
way of removing the obnoxious
patch Of black, which may some
times cover as much as a column
and a half. None the less, the in
genious Slav has succeeded in
Outwitting the censor, and it is not
an uncommon thing in ST. Peters
burg society to be shown an al
bum filed with ''pars' that have
been erased. The method of oh.
tanning them is as follows: The
Russian who buys the paper at
home writes to a friend in London
under cover: Passage erased in
column 2, page Z of such and such
a paper, for such and such a date.
Please send" The friend accord.
ingly buys the paper, cuts out the
page indicated, and posts it under
cover to st. PETERSBURG, where the
par" at once becomes immortal
and obtains ten times as many
readers as it would have had if il
had been left untouched by tho
censor's ink.
Many of the things are blotted
out for ridiculous reasons. Thus.
for instance, some time ago some
Of the English residents in Riga

a certain London newspaper. One
