Watso1fs Magazine without Watson in it will be like an egg without salt or peaches without cream. Tom Watson, it has been announced, has resigned as editor on account of disagreement with the directorate about his salary. Tom Watson's personal ity was the strong feature of the Magazine and there is no substi- ute. There is only one Tom Watson. -Paragould Soliphone.
 The worst trouble with Tom Watson is that he got to believing himself that there was no other man so great as he and when men get to believing this it usual ly makes a crank of them. But it must be admitted that Tom Watson is a man of strong per sonality.

RUSSIAN Spy
KILLS HERSELF
Doomed to Death by NihiIiSts,
She Puts End to Her
Life.

LONDON, May 19.-The Paris COR
respondent of the Chronicle asserts
that there is no doubt that the woman
who committed suicide at Pimlico.
England. March 16, and whose body
was first said to have been that of
Marie Duval and then later that of
Mrs. Gushing of Boston, was a Rus
sian spy, who had been sentenced to
death by Nihilists for betraying their
secrets. The correspondent alleges
that this woman fled from Russia to
escape vengeance and that after long
wandering in Europe and America she
committed suicide in despair of avoid
Ing fate.
According to the Chronicles corre-
spondent there is not much doubt that
Marie DuvaI was a Russian of good
family and that her real name was
Helen Dekrebel Some years ago she
professed sympathy with the terrorists.
It is not clear whether this sympathy
was feigned or whether she was
tempted later to betray her comrades
by the bait of golden reward. Hav-

NippOnese VIII Study the E-
fects Of the April Dis
turbance.


Omori, professor of seismology at
the Imperial University of Toxic,
who has come to San Francisco
to study the phenomena associ-
ated with the earthquake, informs
nervous folk whose fears have
not entirely abated that two great
earthquakes in the same locality
are practically unknown; that
an earthquake is the result OF a
liberating of some great force,
hitherto pent up, and that when
the break occurs the danger to
that locality has been removed
for a long time to come, and per-
haps for ages.
DR.. Omori is one of a party of
distinguished Japanese scientists,
composing a commission empow-
cred by the Japanese Govern
ment to study the causes and ef-
fects Of the recent temblor in
California. The commission ar
rived last night on the steamship
Tango -Maru, and the members
are now at the Hotel ,Touraine.
They are DR.. Omori, F. Naka-
mura, professor of architecture at
the Imperial University; 7. Sano,
his assistant, and NJ. Noguchi, the
latter a representative of bank
ing firm OF Osaka, who will study
the effect of the earthquake upon
the buildings in San Francisco
and compare the resisting power

Records of Big Quake.
DR.. Omori has brought with
him large book of notes, the re-
suit OF study of the records made
at Toxic, on April l8, by an earth
quake instrument which he in
vented himself, called Omoris
horizontal pendulum, this instru-
ment being in use in the Weather
Bureau at Washington. The in
strument will record the move
ments of severe earthquake
shock, no matter in what part of
the world it occurs. DR.. Omori's
instrument provided him with a
record Of the earthquake here at
his observatory in Toxic. The
ternblor's greatest force was re-
corded at Toxic at 5:24 ::35
o'clock, or about eleven minutes
and FIVE seconds after its force
had been felt here.
Center In Pacific Ocean
This earthquake is character
lied by DR.. Omori as one of the
most notable temblors of modern
times. He believes that the CEN
ter of the disturbance was out in
the Pacific Ocean; that the
cuake's force would have
wrought vastly greater injury
had its center been in this vicin-
ity. He is of the opinion that
many hundreds of aftershocks
would have been felt here had the
center been on this coast, whereas
only few score after
vibrations have been noted. DR..
Omori says that, following the
great earthquake in Japan in
1891 there were 5000 after
shocks in period of three
months, and that minor shocks
were observed for ten years. He
has learned that aftershocks
never are dangerous.

Stanford University GeOlogist
Points Out the Cause Of

SEEOAAA O1SFAIOa III The CALL
SAN JOSE, May 1o.-Dr.
John c. N. Branner, professor of
geology of Stanford University,
delivered an address tonight to
large audience in the First Con
gregational Church of this city on
the subject of earthquakes.
Dr. Branner stated that it was
his belief that the recent shock
was caused by slipping of All
old fault which follows in some
what irregular fashion the line of
the Santa Cruz Mountains. In
substantiation of this theory he
related in detail certain observa-
tions he had made of this fault
both before and after the earth
quake. The fault does not pass
through San Francisco, but en-
tiers the ocean at a point several
miles south of that city. Along
the line of the fracture, as it
had been previously mapped out,
were found strong evidences that
the fault had slipped in a lateral
direction at least eight and a half
feet. There was practically no
material displacements.
Along Bed of Ocean.
The same fracture of the
earth's surface, according to DR..
Branner, extends along the bed
of the ocean from the place
where it enters it south of San
Francisco through Bolinas Bay
and Tomales Bay to Fort Ross,
along the line of the Wallala
River and Gar ia River to Man
chester, where it enters the ocean
again. This explains the unusual
disturbance in that section of
the State, and it was the proxim-
ity of the fault to the Sonoma
Valley that made the shock SO Sc
NClO III llldl SCOl1Oll.
AS to the effect of weather in
the production of earthquakes
DR.. Branner stated that it has
none whatever. In cases where
the strain upon the rock forma-
ton has become so great that an
earthquake is imminent change
of barometric pressure may start
it, but it is out of the question
for the weather to have any in
fuence in the creation of this
sort of disturbance.
No More Heavy Shocks.
DR.. Branner did not venture to
prophesy as to the probability of
other shocks, but he did say
that it is not at all likely that
there will ever again be a temblor
of violently destructive character
in California. The rocks are
broken up into such small frag-
ments already that it is not pos
sible that any great strain should
accumulate. The small shakes
that have come since the big
shock he considers as very fav-
orable in that they took UP the
pressure that might otherwise
gather and produce a heavy
shock The sneaker stated that no
part of the earth has any assur-
ance of freedom from the tenn
blors and cited a number of in
stances in substantiation of his
contention.
DR.. Branner stated that the
earthquake has taught the lesson
that if a house is strongly built it
IS perfectly safe, and urged that
care on this line be used in the
building. of the cities injured by
