THINK CRABS CAUSED 'QVAKE

Very curious were some of the ex-
plantations given by Cinnamon Of the
recent earthquakes which have been
felt at Hongkong, Canton and Macao.
The Hongkong Daily Press tells about
them: The famous dragon whose
privilege it has been to give an &C.
c~asional shock to the earth's crust is
not held responsible for the recent
scare in Macao and elsewhere. Some
Chinese attribute the last shocks to
the water-dragon of Canton, whose
anger has been raised by the reclama-
ton works. Coolies are dumping daily
boatloads of sand and stone on the
poor dragons back, and the beast nat
urally feels hurt.
1T appears, however, that the real
causes of the earthquakes were the
Macao crabs! Here is the story:
Close by the hot springs in the neigh
borhood of Macao stands a small vii
lage wherein lives an old woman who
has the misfortune to be the mother
of an unworthy young man whose sole

DINED ON SCATTERED "CRVMBS"

In front of q drinking place in Full
ton street stood a brewers dray and
the portly, prosperous looking horses
attached to it were at their midday
meal. Haughtily they tossed their
heads, scattering the oats from their

standing in the street and engaged
with scantily filed nosebags from
which they struggled to extract the
last particle Of grain, kept n eye
upon the naughty pair with a look
which seemed to conceal envy under
an expression which said as plainly
as words: What vulgar ostentation!"
Nearby stood a scrawny old white
horse attached to a ramshackle cart.
His expression was one of profound
humility. His ribs showed through
his hide and his Roman nose was un-
adorned by any bag Of grain. All his
expression seemed to say was: What
a blessing it is to be able to watch
the rich enjoying themselves!" His
humility under the trying circum-
stances reminded n Of those starv-

SOURCE or VOLCANIC ACTIVITY

In a Recently published volume on
volcanoes Prof. G. D0elter undertakes
to tell why volcanoes have eruptions.
Melted rock such as Is flung from We
suvius requires a temperature of 1000
degrees Fahrenheit, SO that it becomes
liquid only far down in the earth, per-
haps 60 or 100 mics. Below the
outer crust of cooled and solidiied
rocks there must be a larger zone Of
rock which still remains solid, because
Its temperature Is less than that of
the melting point corresponding to
the pressure under which it rests, and
below that again there must be rock
or magma in a state of fusion; 1t is to
this magma that Prof. Doelter looks
for the primary source of all volcanic
activity. At the same time the depth
at which this primary reservoir of
magma lies and the pressure under
which it is confined are so great that
a direct eruption from 1t is inconceiv-
able, but when, by movements in the
everything crust or otherwise, a chan
mel is opened the magma may rise to
a depth where it is surrounded by
rock at a lower temperature than the
melting point. In these circumstances
qualification begins.
From all volcanoes large quantities
of steam, of carbonic acid and other
gases are evolved, and the course of

revolution, used to accept with graft

galleries of the royal dining room to

When the brewery horses had fin.

driver appeared, took off their nose
bags and mounting his seat drove
away. With a celebrity surprising in
such a bag Of bones, the humble old
horse moved up to the place vacated
by the prosperous team and began to
eat the oats left scattered on the
pavement. Lazarus did not eat more
greedily the crumbs which fell from
the rich mans table than did that old,
white horse devour the grain which
fell from the n~osebags of the brewery
team. He cleaned the pavement as il
it had been gone over with a fine
toothed comb and then, with a sigh
of repletion which seemed to say:

water which had obtained access to

generally rejected, being impossible in

regarded as directly derived from an
original store in the interior of the
earth. However this may be, it is GER

In the plains they rode where dread
Lurked with doom in the pampas-grass;
Many a serpent raised its head,

Not for these would the brave ranks

Straight in the line of march they rode.
He who would soldier must needs pre-

Heart that harbors no craven bode.
Into the prairie pressed the band,
General Custer in command.
Moons sun down from the zenith beat,
Searching the earth with ruthless rays;
Over the ground the quivering heat
Rose and danced in a binding maze.
Never a brook or tree was there
Serving to cool the fevered air.
Every sound to heartward went;
Click of hoof or the ring Of steel,
Sudden clank of accoutIement,
Never a soldier failed to feel!

Reused to alertness man and horse.

Gallant Custer rode ahead,
Guide and chief Of a brave commando
Arrow-straight his good charger sped,
Never swerving to either hand,

Veered aside in his headlong lead.
What had happened to force their chief
Out of his pathway? What dread foe?
He a coward? Twas past belief!
Still, his way must roopers go.

They must follow him. that Is sure.
So each rider, as up he drew

Right in the line of march they stood;
Little mother and tiny brood.

Done for love in its dim retreat.

A Restaurant Man Captures a Stray
Swarm of Bees.
Ralph Gushee, the lessee Of the Park
Department restaurant overlooking the
Hudson at the upper end of Riverside
drive, tells a remarkable story of how
he obtained the honey which is m of
the specials on his daily menu.

Corporation Counsel Whalen, who was
the host of a party of politicians at
Claremont, 81 noticed a swarm Of bees
under the tree down there overhanging
the drive just where the carriages
stand at the dinner hour. l offered $40
to anybody who would remove them
and nobody wanted to take the offer
until one Of the policemen detailed to
guard Grants tomb heard of it. He
him to go ahead. He went down in the
basement and got an empty sugar bar
rel. Then he demanded a sheet and bor-
rowed a pair Of buckskin gloves from
a gardener. He spread the sheet on the
drive under the tree and set the barrel,
from which he had removed a couple
of slaves, on its side. Then he climbed
the tree and gently shooed the bees
down to the sheet, whence he gathered
them up into the barrel. This was
covered with the same sort of mos
quito netting with which he had en-
veloped his own head and taken back
of the hotel. There must have been
three or four quarts of bees, and they
settled into their new home as natural
ly as though they had come to River
side Park for that purpose. They be-
gan to hive at once, and for the last
two weeks I've been getting four or
five pounds of honey right along and
the bees are still at home and at work"
Mr.. Whalen remarked laughingly
that as the bees were evidently taking
sweetness from the blossoms in the
park it would be in order for the city to
increase Mr.. Gushee's rent. 1t is sup
posed that the bees came across-th the
Hudson River from New Jersey.

CHAPTER XII.
A ROYAL

Until the present time Julian had
thought of overcoming the king with
out a word-of telling him to the pave
ment and binding him, and leaving
him in ignorance of who had done it.;
but a different fancy seized him as he
saw the monarch enter the dungeon.
The temptation to face his deadly
enemy, and let him know to what he
owed his disgrace, was too strong to
be resisted. The thought that he could
now place his foot upon the neck of
the king of Damascus. and grant the
poor life which he had the power to
take, was not to be passed by. And
then the robber chieftain had an
other reason for wishing to speak with
the king, since the opportunity had
thus Unexpectedly offered ITSELF. Ho-
ram had come on purpose to see him.

A point like this was most puZZling,
and of considerable consequence.
Taken in connection with the fact
that he had stated he was the cashier
of GrOvedale bank, the whole was
tantamount to an acknowledgment Of
his name as Hamilton. Now the ques
ton arose, could he give the name or
aCkr OwlGdge it unwittingly, in con-
nection with a fraudulent deed con-
trary to his usual or moral character,
or was he perSonated by professional
bank robber disguised to resemble
him, who had possessed himself of the
bank papers and credentials, and who,
in pursuance of his purposes and de-
signs to represent the cashier, wrote
the letter to the president? The last
seemed more likely and reasonable;
and in this case the man before them
had been the dupe, not alone of cir
cumstances, but Of an evil-minded
person who should bear the guilt and
its weight Of punishment.

a Picture in Italy.

See If you can shut your eyes. let
your thoughts wander across the At
lantic and rest upon little scene that
looks like this:
There is a brown Italian cottage
built of stucco or coarse plaster, and
rooted with tile. Once on a time the
cottage was painted, but that was long
ago-a hundred years perhaps. Now
it is the same color as the road, ex-
cept where vines Chamber over. the
walls and where gay boxes of flowers
bloom in the windows. But the win
dows are all in the second story and
have no glass in them, for the peas
ants are very poor.
1t stands little way up the noun
tain side, and from the narrow door
yard may be seen the broad, blue
Mediterranean, stretching far away
TO the south. All down the hillside are
great geraniums and heliotropes, or
ange and lemon groves, yellow with
ripe fruit, and beautiful orchards of
green olives. .f
Just back of the cottage there is a
spring, and the water from this comes
through a wooden trough down by the
roadside. Here a woman is doing
her washing, rubbing the clothes on
stones, instead of on a dashboard.
Those she has washed she has hung
on the bushes or spread on stones TO
dry. In the big clothes basket stands
the baby of the family-a rosy, black.
eyed little lump-put there To keep
him out of harm and out of mischief
In one corner of the dooryard brown
complexioned man is loading a small
donkey with two baskets Of olives
for market. Standing in the doorway
with his head out. is the family goat
which gives the baby plenty of fresh
sweet milk. And baby, father, mother
goat and donkey all live together in
side the cottage.
