The earthquake at Valparaiso occur

The earthquake at Valparaiso occur
red on the slopes of the great chain Of
the Andes, a district which has been
shaken by such movements ever since
the country has been known to history.
The strata Of the continent has been
pushed up to heights Of nearly 10000
feet, all along the western side Of South
America. A large number of volcanoes
exist In the chain Of the Andes, but
they are not continuously distributed.
There is one numerous group in Colon
bia and Ecuador, and then a gap &C.
ours, Peru being almost free from vol
canoes, the second group occurring near
the southern boundary of the country
in the Lake Titicaca district. Then an
other break occurs, and the third series
of volcanoes begins just south Of San
tiago.
The sectional view shows how the
great range Of the Andes rises on the
western edge of the continent and slopes
away to wide plain towards the east.
The ocean depths of Valparaiso are also
severe, the 6,OOO-foot line coming close
in shore as indicated in the one-column
map. The strata adjacent to these
great inequalities Of height and depth
are In state Of great strain.

A SECOND SAN FRANCISCO.

Stricken Valparaiso and tho Earth
quake Which Devastated 1t.
Valparaiso, the South American city
that has suffered fate similar to that
OF San Francisco, Is built upon 10 hills
or mountains belonging to tho coast
range and varying from 800 to LOO
feet in height. These hills are some
times separated by deep ravines
through which flow small streams of
water. The level ground along the bay
covers only a narrow strip, In some
places wide enough for four parallel
streets. In others barely wide enough
for two. It Is nowhere more than one
half mile In width. Much Of this mar
row strip was made by filing up the
low ground along the bay and protect
ing it from the sea by stone walls and
iron rails.
Streets In the level part of the city
are generally straight, but the hills are
reached by winding roads. stairways
and steam lifts. Belgian blocks form
the principal material for street paving.

CHAPTER XII.

GOWN from above, hndlng a reflection in
the snow, and emphasizing the black
pillars of the pines that went sliding
by. There was now no trace of our
companions save the marks of their run
ners on the track; over the woods brood
ed an utter silence, broken only by the
swish of our sleigh and the murmur Of
the bells rising and falling in a low,
monotonous melody. 1t was as if we
were passing through the waste places of
a dying world. One of my feet began
to grow numb, and when l turned about
that l might shelter it, the snow that
had gathered on my collar plunged down
my neck, so that l shivered with cold.
But on the whole was reasonably warm
amongst my wraps, and a feeling of
drowsiness grew upon me.
1t was Reskfs voice that woke me-.
We had halted in a dim clearing in the
woods. A score of yards away the Sec
ond sleigh was waiting. Evidently we
had reached the crossroads, where we
were to part.

well, good-by."
The snow spurted from under their
horses hoofs as they swung on to the
north road. Then my driver shouted to
his team. and we, too, rushed forward
but on the other track curving south
and east. For a minute l could hear
their bells tinkling an echo in the dis
lance. Then they died away into 81
| lence.
My interest In the chase suddenly ex
banded. Now that my cousin had desert
ed me, it seemed an ugly, dangerous
business. Marnac would stop at moth
