Prices for Butterflies.

From the Chicago Post.
 Butterfly collectors are seldom able to estimate with any confidence the value of their collections since the prices for specimens so constantly vary. A case in point is that of the blue butterfly of Brazil, specimens of which were original ly sold for from $50 to s75. Not long ago some collectors who supplied the London market ran into a perfect swarm of these butterflies and shipped thsm to England

HIMALAYAs ARE GROWING.
Earthquakes in India Due to Enlarge
ment of Mountain Chain.

LONDON, April 29.-Professor Milne,
the eminent seismologist, tells an inter
esting story describing how and why
the Lahore earthquake occurred recent
ly. 1t took place, he says, on the
Southern side of the Himalayas. and
was due to the continuous growth of
these mountains. The Himalayas are
formed of stratified materials. which
We're once beneath the sea-. and these
materials are being crumpled up in
much the same way as one might make
folds in a table cover by rubbing a
hand along its surface. In this process
the strata are bent upward. and when
overwhelming takes place there is
fracture. The fracture is accompanied
by jar or series of jars and vibrations
which constitute the earthquake.
I'VE shall no doubt hear later" says
the professor something more about
the magnitude of this fracture, as it
is called. II extended many miles, with
the result that the work of the trig-
onometrical survey will require rectifi-
cation.
This was the case after the great
earthquake in Assam in 1897. when it
was found that as the result of resur-
veys that about 10000 square miles had
been displaced laterally as much as
twenty or thirty feet. In Japan. after
the great earthquake of 1891, the survi-
vors refused to pay taxes on the ground
which had been left to them, saying
that it had not the same area after the
earthquake as it had before. Their con-
tention was found to be correct We
shall probably hear of q great number
of secondary disturbances. which viii
originate along the line of the newly
created fault indicating that broken
and disiointed strata are settling to a
state of equilibrium. These shocks will
not reach Europe or Great Britain. but
will be felt in many places in North
west India
IF we look back at the history of
the last 200 years we shall find that
this disaster is only a repetition of
what has occurred many times before
