EARTHQUAKE IN EAST.
fhe New England States Severely
Shaken Up by Seismic Disturbance,
Causing Sliaht DAMAGE.

Boston, March 22.-An earthquake
shock his morning caused a tremor
throughout the entire eastern sections
of New England. Beginning at st.
Johns, N. B., the seismic vibrations
traversed the state of Maine, causing
some slight damage to buildings in
Augusta, Bangor and Portland. The
shock was felt plainly as far south as
Taunton, in this state. Reports from
Manchester, N. H, and Springfield,
Mass, state hat the vibrations were
felt distinctly in those two cities.
Cambridge, Mass, March 21.-The
earthquake shocks felt throughout New
England at an early hour this morning
are said by officials of the Harvard as
Economical observatory to have been
the most severe experienced in this sec
ton OF the country since the memo
rial seismic disturbance Of 1884. The
vibrations were noticed at -four minutes
and ten seconds after l o'clock, and the
earth waves We're very p%erceptible.

This soothing suggestion came from
Mss Wilkinson, the landlady of the
rouse to which Jocelyn had brought his

what she herself called "the WAYS of the

Smoke Will Explode.

That smoke will explode under certain
conditions has been demonstrated recent
ly by the fire department of Baltimore,
says the American Inventor. A fireman
made model of the Hurst building, in
which the great fire started. He ex-
planned that when smoke accumulated in
the upper floors Of building and was
heated by the FIRE in the lower stories it
expanded and Travelled downward, gen
orally descending through the elevator
shaft, and when the smoke reached the
fire it exploded. The upper floors Of the
model were filled with smoke, and-when
a blaze was placed at the bottom Of the
elevator shaft the smoke exploded with
a loud noise and blew every window out
of the model. The report was accom-
panied by a whistling sound such as
Chief Burkhardt heard when he was
hurled out of the Hurst building Smoke
will explode at temperature of 100 10
200 degrees by the igniting of the part
icles Of carbon floating in it.

The Common Chord.

The RappahHnnuck' stately tide, aglow
with sunset light.
Came sweeping down between the hills
that hemmed its gathering might
From one side rose the Stafford slopes
and on the other shore
The Spottsylvania meadows lay, with
oak groves scattered Ger
flushed We're the sounds OF busy day;
the broodng air was hushed,
Save for the rapid-6owng stream that
chanted as it rushed.
Der mead and gently slopiug hills on
either side the stream,
The white tents uf the soldiers caught
the suns departing beam
On Sp0ttSylyania's slopes the Blue, on
Staftords hills the Gray;
Between them, like an unsheathed
sword, the glittcring river lay.
Hank! suddenly Union band far down
the stream sends forth
The strains of Hail Columbia the
paean OF the North.
The tents are parted; silent througs Of
soldiers, worn and grim,
Stand forth upon the dusky slopes to
hear the martial hymn,
- tl'AI aHu quiet WAS ire night mat
10 the farthest sound
or either camp was borne the swell Of
sweet triumphant sound,
And when the last note died away, from
distant post TO post
\ shout, like thunder of the tide, rolled
through the Federal host.
Then straightway from the other shor,
there rose an answering strain,
| Bonnie Blue Flag" came floating dowl
the slope aud DER the plain.
And then the Boys in Gray sent bacl
cur cheer across the tide
A mighty shout that rent the air and
echoed far and wide.
"Star-Spangled Banner" we replied
they answered, Boys In Gray"
While cheer on cheer rolled through the
dusk. and family died away.
Deeply the gloom had gathered round,
and all the stars had come.
When the Union band began 10 play the
notes of Home, Sweet Home"
Slowly and softly breathed the chords.
and utter silence fell
over the valley and the hils-on blue
and Gray as we'll
Now swelling and now sinking low, now
tremuIous. now strong.
The leaders cornet played the air Of the
beautiful old song;
And, rich and mellow. horn and bass
Joined in the flowing chords.
SO soice-like that they scarcely lacked
the charm OF spoken words
Then what n cheer from both the hosts,
with faces 20 the stars
And tears were shed and prayers were
said upon the field Of Mars.
The Southern band caught up the strain
and We. who could sing. sang
oh. whnt n glorious hymn Of home across
the river rang
We thought Of loved ones far away. OF
scenes we'd left behind
The low-roofrd farm house 'neatE the
elm that murmured In the wind

dear wife at the door;
The dusty sunlight sll aslant npon the
old barn floor
Oh. Loud and long the cheer we raised.
when silence fell again
And died away among the hills the dear
familiar strain.
Then to our cots of straw We stole. and
