Sea quakes are mighty disturban-
ces OF the waters of the ocean, their
cause or causes being identical
with the causes of earthquakes. In
Major @. Z. Dutton's book, Earth
quakes, the author has some in
terestlng facts regarding the ocean
variety OF quake. From the entries
in the logs of many ships he con-
cludes that in rare cases the power
OF the sea quake shocks may be
great enough 10 render standing on
deck as difficult as it is sometimes
on land. 1t may even be great
enough 10 cause the fear that the
vessel is being shaken to pieces.
Gigantic waves in the ocean are. of
course, OF frequent accompaniment
of the sea quake. On the west coast
OF South America, where these waves
are frequent, they sometimes follow
a quake having its center below the
sea level that is also felt on land.
But more often they come without
warning. The most memorable sea
quake of this locality occurred Au.
gust 3. 1868.
Major Dutton describes it as fol-
lows: "The coast Of South America
was shaken all the way from Guaya-
quill, in Ecuador, to valdiyia, in
Chile, the highest intensity being
manifested in the neighborhood Of
AFRICA The force Of the quake in
this town was very great, throwing
down most OF the structures and
causing land slips. A few minutes
later-precisely how many minutes
is not known-the sea was observed
TO retire slowly from the shore. so
that that ships anchored in seven
fathoms of water we're left high and
dry.
"A few minutes later 10 was seen
returning In great wall, or bore, ;
which caught up the ships in the
roadstead and carried them inland
as IL they were chips of wood.
Among them was the United States
steamer Wateriee, one of the i'm
provised war vessels of the block
aiding feet in the Civil War, which
was carried inland for nearly half
mile and left with very little injury
on the shore by the recession of the
wave.

Lost i'm The Air.

Boys are frequently lost in the
woods, and it is singular fact that
birds are sometimes lost ia the air.
This might seem strange to almost
any one, but the average man is q
superficial observer of little things.
In the far north. and particularly
along the ocean coasts, birds are fire.
quently storm driven and lose their
bearings, so that many of them are
lost at sea. They keep floating in
the air, aimlessly striving to live un-
ii! exhaustion compels them TO drop
into the angry waves, which enguli
them.
There is well authenticated case
on record of an ocean liner bringing
into New York on q winters day q
large white owl which had dropped
70 one of the forward spars in an ex-
tausted condition more shan 500
miles of the coast of Newfoundland.
It was nearly dead from cold and
hunger and almost too weak TO eat
anything. 1t had become much ema-
ciated and trembled in its distress
when it tried to swallow the frs,
morsel OF meat which was placed
within its beak. The captain and
sailors were all interested In it, and
under their nourishing care IL slow
ly recovered and became entirely
well and healthy and strong. II
willingly remained with the ship
afterward.
II was evidently land bird which
had been blown off from the coast OF
Newfoundland by strong west winds,
had become lost, merely drifted be-
fore the gales, kept out of the water,
almost starved TO death and made its
last intelligent effort to reach the
ship aud there fell in exhaustion and
collapse.
Old sailors narrate many other in
stances of finding birds that have
been lost in the air.

and on his body was found Instructions

The Federal authorities deny that any
such Instructions were given Dahlgreen.

Fitzpatrick marched 60 Beaver Dam sta

Brook turnpike. Hampton followed Kill
patrick from Hanover Junction with 3O6
men OF Gordon's North Carolina cavalry.
He reached Hughes Y roads after dark,
and discovering the camp-dres OF Kilpat-
rick near Alleys Station, he dismounted
100 men, brought his artillery up oelose
range, attacked the camp and drove Kill

and u number Of arms and equipments
were captured. fitzpatrick retreated and
made his escape towards Williamsburg.
Thus ended the ignominious expedition
that had intended to startle the whole
world by sacking the rebel capital and
capturing President Drvis. After the
Charlottesville raid, or attempted raid,
the horse artillery moved to the north
OF Gordonsville, near the Va. C. railroad.
We did not have a very pleasant camp,

to arms by Grants crossing the Rapidan

know the riches in copper and gold
values it contains still pin their faith
to it. II must always be remembered
that frequently where sections have
been condemned most unstintedly by
experts, they have finally proven bo-
nanzas. 1t is to be hoped that the
men who for years have worked
there Will reap rich returns some
day. We believe that paying copper
values exist there and when trans
portation facilities are better will
give rich returns.

NEEDING ThEM CUT.

Noting the fact that, Of more than
1000 young men who applied for per-
mission 10 take the examination for
appointment as assistant paymaster in
the navy. only twenty four proved to
be qualified mentally, morally and
physically. the Springfield Republi-
can remarks that this is wedding
out with a vengeance. and asks
Does the fault lie in the severity Of
the examinations ?" The reply 20
this query, says the Army and Navy
Journal, is that the navy is open only
to men Of the highest character and
business ability. who must prove their
fitness before receiving commissions.
with the growth of the navy the re-
sponsibilities of accounting officers
arc greatly increased. and il becomes
n business necessity that appointments
as assistant paymasters shall be given
to none but men who are IN all re-
spects fit to associate with officers of
other branches of the service. The ex-
aminations are undoubtedly severe,
but not nearly as severe as those re-
quired of midshipmen upon entering
and graduating from the Naval Acad-
envy. The system followed in select
ing applicants for commissions in the
pay corps is thoroughly democratic.
IL provides for the broadcast applica-
tion Of the competitive principle and
the rule Of merit AS simple busi-
ness measure IL will command the APP
proval of the whole country.
