into his hand. Mr.. Daniel noticed that
a newspaper man witnessed the trans
action and sliding over toward him

\, N, AYAEs GETS BACK
At SHERIFF brown

Editor Advertiser: I would like to
say a few words regarding statement
by Sheriff Brown in yesterdays Star,
in an article headed Sheriff Explains
Drunk Releases
Browns statement is in part as fol-
lows:
.tAs an illustration of this. I recall
that some months ago, H. NJ. Ayers, a
reporter for the Advertiser, went into
Cunha's saloon under the influence of
liquor and caused disturbance. The
police were sent for and an officer took
Ayers into custody. He was locked
in the police station and kept there
during the night. In the morning he
had sobered UP sufficiently to admit of
his release. He was not prosecuted"
All well and good.
That I was arrested, kept in the po-
lice station all night and released in
the morning 1 admit. There is more
to the story, however.
The affair occurred about July 1. 1905,
shortly after I returned from China
and before l had Joined the Advertiser
staff
The Advertiser was bucking Brown
at the time and 1 received a quiet tip
that 1 was suspected of inspiring some
of the articles and that the police were
going to put UP a job on me as soon
as they got a chance.
On or about May 81 Chester Doyle
accosted me in Cunha's alley and ask
ed me where my wife was. 1 told him
that she was returning from China by
the next Korea. He said that I had
deserted her and told me that if 1
would give him $40 he would keep the
story out of the papers.
1 knocked Doyle down, also some of
his friends who came to his rescue.
The next evening 1 went into Cum
has place and there was Doyle. L
was not under the influence of liquor
and called for drink Acting on a
nod from Detective Doyle the bar
tender refused to serve me. This ex-
asperated me and I threw down SO
gold piece on the counter to show that
L had the necessary money to pay for
what L ordered. 1 was still refused ser
vice and words followed.
Doyle told the bartender to ring for
policeman, and presently Officer
Nelson put in an appearance and told
me to go with him to the station. l
said that it was an outrage and he
started to pull me along with him. I
resisted and was dubbed on the head
and knocked down.
1 was dragged toward the police sta
ton and when opposite the postoffice
a special officer came along and helped
TO hustle me to the station. l was
put in a cell and not released until the
next morning, when 1 was fortunate
enough to find some one to bail me
out. My clothes, which were new.
were torn to pieces, and I had to mend
them before proceeding home.
On leaving Cunha's saloon 1 had a
ten-dollar gold piece in my pocket,
some silver dollars and a few cents
When released I asked for my money
and was given a small sum. amounting
to little over dollar. Where the bal
ance went L have never been able to
ascertain.
The following morning my name ap-
peared on the docket with charge of
drunkenness entered against it. I went
to Brown and asked him to drop the
matter, but he said that he could do
nothing in the matter and that L must
consult Prosecuting Attorney Douthitt
l did this and my case was stricken

HURT BY EXPLOSION

The four-year-old son and two year old daughter of Mir. and Mrs. P. k. Grain were seriously injur- ed at Fl Dorado while playing with some dynamite caps which they had found without the knowl- edge of their parents. Four of the caps exploded, in consequence of which the little girl lost about half of one of her thumbs, the end of one finger and nail of finger on the left hand, and may lose an eye, The boy is not so badly hurt as his sister. but he lost the end of one finger. and both he and his sister were badly burned from their feet to their heads.

volcanoes, and are common in vol canic regions, many observers
 have thought that earthquakes were volcanic phenomena. This view was first expressed nearly 2,000 years ago by Pliny, and dur ing the first half of the 18th cen tury was held by many geologists.
 From the fact, however, that many earthquakes in the countries about Mediterranean, in California and
 elsewhere are not accompanied by
 any volcanic activity, and since any heavy shock or blow within the earth crust would be propa- gated by undulatory impulses to the surface causing an earthquake,
 1t is now generally recognized that earthquakes are due to d va- riety of causes. It Is plain that some earthquakes are due to the explosions of steam that are the
 chief characteristics of violent vol
 canic eruptions. Thus the terrific
 explosion that tore of the greater part of the island of Krakatoa QS83) was the cause of a violent earthquake. Earthquakes ire
 quently precede volcanic outbursts and cease as the eruption begins.
 Again, it is possible thatin regions of present or recent volcanic ac- tivity, when no volcanic outbreak accompanies or follows an earth quake, the latter may have been caused by movements of molten rock deep underground. The sud- den expansion of such rock, if pressure were relieved by the opening of some Assure, as the formation of dikes, might cause a severe earthquake. In regions remote from volcanoes 1t is prob able that earthquakes are caused by the same stresses in the earth s crust, partly to secular contraction,
 that tilt and fold rock strata into mountains. The strains to which the rocks are thus subjected, when suddenly relieved by the rocks giving way, produce many earth

quakes. In fact, the slight earth quakes of frequent occurrence in the Alps, Himalayas, and in South ern Oregon indicate that noun tain building is still in progress. The seismic zone that encircles the earth is, therefore, simply a zone of weakness in the earth's crust, within which crustal move ments are frequent. Earthquakes in regions remote from any vol cano have usually been carefully studied, been traced to some line of rock weakness as the fault. Such earthquakes are merely phenomena accompanying rock movement that may in time great ly modify the earth's surface. The frightful loss of life caused by some violent earthquakes has led to their geological importance being exaggerated.
 EFFECTS OF EARTHQUAKES
 Aside from the destruction of life and property, the work done by most earthquakes is relatively unimportant. Violent earthquakes are frequently accompanied by the opening of Assures in the ground, which may or may not close again. Several were formed in the Charleston earthquake, while the Mississippi valley earth quake. resulted, apparently, in de- pressions of the surface over con- siderable areas. In the Lisbon earthquake, which killed ,000 people, the quay sank into the sea with all the people near it. In the Calabrian earthquake (1783), which killed 32, GOO people, more than 200 lakes and small swamps were formed.

EARTHQUAKES AND THEIR CAUSES
Exploding Steam and Movements of Molten Rock Deep Under
 ground--Some Causes

cisco earthquake, the following on the causes and results of earth guakes, from the Encyclopedia
 Americana, would perhaps be of interest to the readers of The Journal.
 An earthquake Is a trembling
 of the earth's crust due to inter- nal causes. 1t consists of series
 of undulatory impulses or elastic waves, transmitted through the
 rocks of the crust in somewhat the same way that sound is trans
 mitted through the air. These waves are of two classes: Q) Compression waves propagated parallel to the direction of trans smission; (2) distortion waves, nor anal to the direction of transmits sion. The speed with which these waves are transmitted varies great iy. It is greatest near the start ing point and diminishes some what as the waves die out. The speed is also affected by differ ences in the elasticity and homog- of rock masses. In general 1t varies from several hundred to several thousand feet per second. The destructive ef- fects of earth quakes are due to the high velocity of the undula- tory impulses rather than to the amplitude of the vibrations, since the latter is usually only very small fraction of an inch and but rarely is as much as two inches.
 The violence of earthquakes varies greatly. Delicate instru- snents, seismographs, constructed to show variations in the stability of the earth's crust, show that the crust is almost continually trem- bling even in regions where shocks of some magnitude are rarely felt.
 The great Lisbon earthquake 11775) was distinctly felt from Madeira to Great Britain or over the whole of southwest Europe and northwest Africa. The Charleston Earthquake was felt from northern Florida to New England and as far west as Iowa. or over an area approximately l. 900 miles long and 800 miles wide.
 In the Lisbon earthquake the aremors lasted but six minutes.
 CAUSE OF TIDAL WAVES
 When an earthquake occurs be- meath the sea, the ocean above is uplifted and the shock spreads outwardly in low, long waves that travel rapidly, but are slower than the earth's waves. In midocean such waves are of no importance, but as they approach shore the drag of the sea bottom decreases their speed and length, but great sy increases their height, and what are erroneously termed tidal waves result. On a low-lying coast such waves may be very The explosion of krakatoa in August of 1883 caus- ed sea waves that went around the world at q speed of 400 miles an hour. At distant points like the coast of Europe the waves were slight. and were detected by tide guages. On the coast of Java the waves were over 50 feet high, and thousands of people were drowned.
 Earthquakes are usually com monest in regions of present or recent volcanic activity. In the United States they are commonest sn California, and in general earth
