EARTHQUAKES COME OFTEN
Japan Is Shocked Almost Every Day
and May Some Time Be
Submerged. 1

From 20 to so earthquakes occur daily
in the world, and the average gives
Japan about 800 a year. 1t would be a
| pretty thing If some morning we were
to wake up and find our little friends
blotted out of the map. Greater cata-
clysms have occurred; oceans flow
where once dry land was and continents
to-day give homes to millions of human
beings where formerly the leviathan
swan. A small tissure, leading to a
greater one, conducting the waters of
the sea or river to the heated rocks be-
low, the flashing of the water into
steam, a mighty expIosion-and then
we need a revision of maps.
Nature is a master builder. Chilli
rides 300 feet higher to-day than she did
$50 years ago. She was upheaved all
along her sea front in a single hour in
1850. The Rum of Clutch and the coast
of C%hittagong became correspondingly
lower a dozen years ago. An earthquake
may form a volcano; it may reduce a
mountain to a valley. How deep these
disturbances are it is not easy to say,
but they have been traced to a depth Of
"a miles. From the center of the dis
turbance shocks which have affected
the whole earth have radiated.
The harmful inevitable earthquake is
credited with some of the biggest Jug
Cling feats on record. One curiosity oc-
Cured at the fort of San Carlos, where
the Flagstaff, sunk so feet in the ground
and secured with iron rods, was sudden
ly shot high into the air, leaving a clean
round hole where it had been. The Rio
banda convulsion sent the bodies of
the inhabitants whirling across the
river and deposited them on the top of
La Culia, a hill 300 feet in height. Dur
ing the Calabrian and New Madrid (Mo.)
earthquakes trees were observed to rock
and swing till their branches touched
the ground and in the end righted them
selves. Perhaps the strangest story is
that which a jamaican eravestone tells:
Here lieth the body Of Lewis Galdy,
Esq, who died on the ed of September,
1887, aged so. He was born at Mont
pelier, in France, which place he left
for his religion, and settled on this
island, where, in the great earthquake,
1872, he was swallowed up and by the
wonderful providence of God by a sec
ond shock was thrown out into the sea,
where he continued swimming until he
was taken up by a boat and thus mirac-
ulously preserved" ,

Japan gets her best information through
corrupt or careless Russians and
through Cinnamon in Russia employ,
writes a correspondent of the New 1ork
Herald. The big burly, roaring RUSSIAN

most of all, his champagne, has probably
no idea of the net which the smiling
sedentary, keen-witted leaders of the
two great divisions of the yellow race
are silently weaving around him.

Preventing Train Derailments.

A German railroad official has pa
tented a device for preventing the de-
railment of trains, designed to
decrease the dangers of such acct
dents, and also those resulting from
broken aXles and wheels. A rail is
adjusted on the truck of the car par
allel with the axle, about an inch
above and at right angles with the
rails. Should a derailment occur. this
crossrail will drop on the tracks.
without permitting the wheels to
touch the ground. The car will then
drag along on the cross-rail and stop
the train. The crossroads are placed
as close as possible to the track and
supplied with springs to break the
force of the settling of the car as
much as possible, and are also fitted
with projections underneath to pre-
vent the car from leaving the track.

nothing, neither does the bidder, who
merely steps forward to the auction

pay for the article. Then another and

GREAT SHOW OF
DOLLS THIS P M.

The Cleaners doll sale, which opens
at 3 sharp this afternoon in the tent
on the lawn just Waikiki of Central
Union church, promises to be a great
success. The privileged few who saw
the dolls, nearly one hundred in num-
Der, at a private exhibition last night,
were unanimous in the opinion that no
display of dol Is and dolls clothes ever
seen in this city equalled this one.
The dolls are of all sizes, from those
eight inches tall to ones almost as big
as a baby that can lust lisp Papa
and Mamma" Hhe display of dresses
is magnificent. There are silks and
satins, there are drawn-work dresses
and basketball suits. There are baby
dolls, little ''miIIionheiresses, basket
ball girls and football men, little boys
and grown up girls, German girls and
English girls, French girls and Ameri-
can girls.
There will be no admission fee
to the big tent and everyone is invited
to come and see the display whether he
wishes to purchase or not. However, it
would be advisable to come early in
order to see the entire doll family be-
fore it has been depleted by purchases.
Beside the dolls fresh homemade candy
win be sold. The sale will commence
promptly at three in order that those
who have other engagements may have
an opportunity to see the dolls before
they have to go away. After dark the
scene of activity will be transferred to
Athe Sunday school room of the church
and social evening will follow, the
sale continuing, however.
In connection with this sale it is
rumored that young gentleman of this
city on being "stumped' to dress a
doll took the ''stump'i and has dressed
a doll which will be aucuioned off in
the evening. The young ladies of the
society have been awaiting the appear
ance of this doll with some curiosity
being interested in seeing what the
masculine ingenuity, usually exerted
along the lines of finance and politics,
can accomplish when turned to the sub
ject of cores and tucks. A Punahou
football man will also be auctioned off
