made during the Gay by investigators
Of the United States census bureau
who are looking up divorce statistics
In this city that many CT the divorce
decisions in the old court Of common
pleas are imperative because no de.
cree has been entered upon the rec
ords. In hundreds of cases in which
the court has ordered that DEGREES OF
separation should issue the order for
judgment has not been submitted to
the court by counsel for the successful
party. Thus no final order could is
sue
In many such cases the parties to
the divorce have been married again.
It was stated that such marriages are
void and cam only be legalized by ac.
tion of the legislature and that much
confusion and Inconvenience to the
interested parties is certain to ensue.
The court Of common pleas is no
longer in existence.

Santiago, Chile, Aug. 22.-Only now
can the seriousness of the catastrophe
begin to be appreciated. The greater
part of the modern houses here are
unsafe for habitation and the authori-
ties have organized special corps to
pull down the tottering buildings. In
most Of the streets it is not safe to
walk Oh the pavement owing to falling
debris
Santiago resembles camp. The
public squares and the principal ave-
nues are crowded with people sleeping
in the open. All kinds of carriages
and carts have been requisitioned to
sleep in or even under them. :
The night of Aug. 16 was rendered
dreadful by flashing lightning and
pouring rain, the electric cables and
wires snapping as result of the con-
stant, strong earth shocks which oc-
Cured all that night, causing the
greatest CONSERVATION, which was
heightened by the pealing of the fire

Each earth shock was followed BY

who were kneeling in the rain and
mud. The first great shock lasted
four minutes and fifty seconds. Such
a long shock had never occurred be-
fore in the memory of any inhabitant
of Santiago. It caused the bells of the
churches to ring, pictures swung out
from the walls and there was a great
heaving molten Of the ground. Ex-
perts say .that the only thing which
saved Santiago from complete ruin
was that the motion was circular.
The principal shock was from Val
paraiso to Santiago and Meripilla,
with it's center at Limache The last
two named towns were destroyed, as
were also Qujllota and Llaillai.

The common explanation of cater.

"chatepelose," which means literally
hairy cat" and Is very like the Eng
lish "piller," a plunderer. and cater
piller" was the regular spelling until
the seventeenth century. DR.. Muir
rays dictionary suggests that the
word may have come straight from
"cat" and pillar" A Lombard word
for caterpillar is "gatta" (cat), and a
Swiss word "teuselskatz" devils cat),
while a .catkin" is the vegetable imi.
