Earthquake Experiences
In The Caribbees

To us the lands and countries
about the Caribbean Sea are Of the
greatest Importance. Our people
will be locating there with more
and increasing frequency, and all
the while tie ties of international
cooperation will become stronger.
That eruptive and seismic disasters
have afflicted places in those regions
will not deter us very much, for
one has abundant faith that it is
not going to happen to him, and a
good many Of our people are locat-
ing directly in range Of the volca-
noes, happy and prospecting along
with the natives.
The region is not so very far
away. A few days OIL the steamer
and one is in the tropics. That bit
of yellow seaweed picked up at the
shore last summer because it was
different from the others was pro.
badly brought by Tie Gulf Stream
from the Caribbean regions and
carried to our shores by southerly
wind. Slrely it is not a far away
country that we are considering,
and it is very beautiful, ---sunsblne
and flowers; green savannas and
towering mountains; torrential riv-
ers; clear splashing brooks and deep
blue seas. Why should one think
of earthquakes? My own expert
ences with them have happily been
free from scenes of death; yet the
coming of an earthquake is so sud-
den, so wildly terrible, that the
stoutest hearts must quail. Eten
wild animals shrink with fear, and
one is always filled with dread Dor
dering on terror. 1t is all so sud-
den. A sense of some unknown
fear pervades all nature, as if the
spirit of the world had caught its
breath and held all life an instant
in suspense, while sounds seem to
beset ones nerves rather than to
assault the ears. Then comes a
reeling, sickening, staggering mo-
ton, and fear. and humans crying,
ont, and then ouivering silence for
the space of breath. followed per-
haps by crushing destruction, or, it
may be, by sound like a great
signing, and the earth settles back,
that the pulsailons of nature, may
begin again in harmony. Then
excited people find their voices. be-
wildered faces CLEAN with ntelli-
gence, and every one is talking,
comparing experiences, wondering
what 1t was, where it had come
from and how it had gone away.
Such have been my experle noes
with earthquakes in the Caribbean
regions From "Volcanoes and
Earthquakes in the Caribbean Re-
gions," by Francis c Nicholas PhD
in the American Monthly Review
of Reviews for April.

There were Spanish settlers in
America before jamestown, and
the French had established some
villages along the Canadian coast,
but the palisades on Powhatan's
river which were named after the
reigning monarch of England
formed the first village in the west
ern world where English was spok-
en-.
The descendants of the original
settlers are scattered throu ghout
the United States.
Recently when the Daughters of
the American Revolution visited
Jamestown Island. it was found
that not less than fifteen visiting
members Of the society traced their
ancestry directly to some inhabi-
tant of jamestown.
The Exposition management
have discovered many Jamestown
ers and haye invited them to parli.
cipate in the celebration OH May
18th.
Recently it has been suggested
that inhabitants of other James
towns and descendants of past in
habtahts should be included in the
general invitations, and, and raml-
flying this thought, take in the
people of all the cities named after
James the First.

It was one of the cabinet dinners that were given by the sec. retary of the interior and Mrs. Hitch. cock three years ago. The president and Mrs. Roosevelt arrived in due time. as did all the other guests ex- cept Senator Cockrell.
 After delay of almost an hour Mrs. Hitchcock invited her guests to the dining-room and dispatched a messenger to the residence of Sena- tor Cockrell to make inquiries. Great fear was felt that the Missourian had started and had fallen by the way. as the day was q cold and wintry one. The fact was. however. that the sen ator was sitting quietly at home when the messenger got there. clad in his dressing gown and slippers and con- graduating himself that he could be Indoors. He had put the date of the dinner in his calendar in large and attractive handwriting. but had for. gotten to turn a leaf and was. ac- cordingly. day behind time.

Tame Beaver h Canada.

In Manitoba the beaver b protected by law from either being shot or trapped. and the protection results in increase. Colonies of the animals can now be found both on the Ochre and Turtle rivers, to the east of Dauphin. One colony has started building a dam on the Ochre river at the railway bridge near the village So tame have the animals become that it is a com mon thing for the residents to visit the locality in the evening and watch the industrious animals at work. In one or two cases the work of the beaver in darnming the Turtle river has proved loss to farmers in the vicinity by their land being flooded and the water overhowing 1t. The matter was laid before the govern ment in Winnipeg by parties interest cd, and permission obtained to open the dams. but not to modest the sni- mals. As the beaver increases rapid iy. the government is likely to have another problem on its hands to solve before a great while.
