The Worlds Volcanic Belts.

There are two great belts on the earth in which either volcanoes are &C., tive or mountains are growing or in which the two phenomena are associ- ated. These two belts follow great circles. One of these passes through the West Indies. the Mediterranean sea, the Caucasus and Himaiaya noun tains. and is called by De Montessus the Mediterranean" or "Alpine-Cau- asus-Himalayan" belt. Tn this belt 53 per cent. of all recorded earth quakes have occurred. The second belt nearly encircles the Pacific. fol, lowing the Andes. the mountains of western North America. the Aleutian islands. Japan and the Philippines
 This De Montessus calls the "circum- Pacific" or "Andes-Japanese-Malayan belt. In this belt have occurred fl per cent of all recorded earthquakes. In all the rest of the world the recorded earthquakes equal only six per cent. of the total number.-Leslie's Weekly.

When discovered he had about given up the unequal struggle and vas mumbIing to himself: Let iem eat me: eat poor old Hammond. the old worthless tramp The ofhcer took the starving man out and gave tin water and food He nay recover.

HAD REASON FOR BEING.
How Lack of Flavor of cranberries
 Improved Turkey.

With all her wonderful fruits, Cal ifornia lacks a cranberry worthy of the name. A New England tourist ordered cranberry sauce with his turkey one Thanksgiving day at a hotel in Pasadena. An odd.looking and odd.tasting dish of stewed fruit was brought to. him.
 What do you call this?" he asked the waitress. girl from the New Hampshire mountains.
 Cranberry sauce. sir," she an- swered, with faint smile of sympathy for his evident distaste.
 Cranberry sauce!" he echoed indig- nantly. That has no more the flavor of cranberry than a peanut has of a pumpkin"
 Maybe not" she replied demurely. but you see it gives folks a great deal more reason to be thankful for the turkey"

NOT FREE OF SUPERSTITION.
We, of Modern Times, Cling Fondl,
 to Absurd Beliefs.

The story of the prima donna who would not sing until her mascot. the stag's head, was installed over her chimney piece is a type of modern superstition. We are quite as cred ulous this twentieth century as our forefathers of medieval times. ;"
 What woman does not believe one of her gowns to be lucky and the other unIucky? How many refuse to don opals. while others carry fetich in the shape of crooked slxpence or rusty nail. lucky shamrock, or a hfdeous little silver pig about them? Everywhere superstition meets one.
 It is awfully unlucky to break a looking glass, Friday is bad day to start on a journey. Sunday is the day that all the best things in life have happened to one; these are some of the sayings that reach ones ears habitually. ...
 Curious legends and curses hang about houses and families. In one case a belief was current that the owners of a particular place would never have male heirs to succeed them in direct line The house was sold twice to different owners, and the curse always came true. The present proprietor has only daughters and no male relative to continue the line. These are, no doubt, coincidences, but they are curious nevertheless, and probably have originated from some definite cause.

lection is the most commonly accepted theory. This was strengthened by a rumor that the authorities of the Geological Gardens of Philadelphia were out looking for a lost Simian in Delaware county. But telephone message to the ZOO exploded the story. All the Philadelphia monkeys are safe in their cages. Their keeper respect fully suggested that the animal down by Darby is probably monkey of na- tive Delaware county stock.
 Nevertheless, several persons in Springfield township are so convinced that there is strange animal prowl- ing about that they have set traps for it. Frank Carr is one of them. and he set a number of traps in an en- closure in the rear of his house near some woods where the reputed crea- ture was reported to have been seen. It is now stated that the traps were found broken, the bait devoured and all evidences on hand of struggle made by some animal.
 The practical joker who is working the scare. If such is the case. has succeeded to an extent which may work his own harm. For there are a number of Delaware county citizens who. while not getting in mysteries about the. matter. have quietly placed big guns in their hip pockets and are waiting for a chance to pot anything that looks like a baboon.

6eIaAsd Wayfarer of Delaware County Frightened by Mysterious Thing and Many Resdents Are

Darby, Pa.-All Delaware county Is Stirred up over the supposed antics of an alleged wild animal which is as- serted to look like a gorilla and to have frightened belated wayfarers all most out of their wits in various parts of the county. While it Is believed by most persons that the whole thing is practical joke on the part of some one who is literally making a mon- key out of himself, still many of the more timid class are thoroughly alarmed and fully believe all the tales that are told about the mysterious creature
 Those protesting to have seen the wonderful animal. assert that 1t some times goes upright like a man and then dashes along on all fours with marvellous speed. maintaining queer galloping gait. They furthermore feel certain that 1t has coat of dark hair, but that is not considered re- markable, as the weather is cool. Their stories of how they almost en- countered the strange beast have been so thrilling that many of the negroes in the county cannot be induced to pass the spots where it is said to have been seen. Others have purchased pistols and go about armed, fully re- solved to sell their lives dearly should they encounter the mythical monster in any of its hypothetical haunts.
 Others take the thing seriously with out being unduly alarmed and they try to explain the matter. That 1t is an ape escaped from some geological col
