Samuel l.. Clemens Mark Twain),
after his recent lecture at the Carnegie

the Robert Fulton Memorial associa-

earthquake stricken city of San Fran
cisco:

KEPT FROM SAN FRANCISCO.
Immigrants Won'f Be Allowed to Go
There Yet.

Robert Watchorn, commissioner OF
immigration. announced recently that
he had received word from Secretary
Metcalf Of the department of com
merce and labor at Washington not to
allow any more tickets to be sold to
immigrants who may desire to go
through to San Francisco until further
word is sent him from Washington,
says the New York Times.
twenty-five Italian immigrants who
arrived at New York few days ago
on the White Star liner Republic. from
Liverpool, held Il prayer meeting on
Ellis island the other night, giving
thanks for their deliverance from the
disaster in san Francisco They had
intended TO go through to the coast,
but when they arrived at New York
they found the fare was more than
they expected. They were kept on
Ellis island until they could raise the
money.

quake There Is Not impossible.
There are slight indications that Chi
cago may experience an earthquake
within few years, according to Pro
fessor J. Paul Goode of the University
of Chicago geology faculty. The pres
ence of certain species of rock in the
earth inside or near the city limits, he
believes. is an indication of condition
that might result in the dismantling of
a portion of the city, says a Chicago
dispatch.
There is no absolute geological
proof that Chicago may have an earth

Planets With Three SIMS.

The people inhabiting the planets in
the solar system of Gamma have no
need of electricity, gas, oil or other
kind of artificial light. In those IA
vored worlds they have continuous
daylight and probably have no idea of
a land like ours which Is alternately
bathed in sunlight and plunged into
darkness. The GammaneaD planets
are so situated that as soon as one
of their three suns begins to decline
another appears in sight Each Of
these three suns is of a different color
red, yellow and blue.

Charleston Disaster RecaIIed--ThOu-
sands Killed In Japan.
The last great earthquake in the
United States was that of Charleston,
S. c., in 1856, says the New York
Tribune. This earthquake was preced-
ed by minor tremOrs, to which little
attention was paid. The principal
shock occupied about one minute, and
other shocks followed at intervals with
gradually diminishing violence. At the
end of four weeks they had ceased to
be destructive but tremors were oc.
casonally observed for several months
longer.
In Charleston the movements were
less violent than at the center of the
disturbances, point fifteen miles west
of the city. A large number of houses
in the city were thrown down, and
nearly all the buildings in the city
were more or less damaged. The dam
age was computed at $S,000,O00. TWEEN
ty-seven persons were killed outright
and others died afterward from in
juries received.
Following is a list of the most de-
structive earthquakes of the last two
centuries:

Disturbance enQeu ABOUT. 10 Of w Il w W
This statement of the magnetic eff
feet of the San Francisco earthquake
was made at the coast and geodetc
survey:
The San Francisco earthquake, be
sides being recorded the world over on
specially designed earthquake instru
ments, called seismographs, likewise
affected the self recording magnetic in
struments at the three magnetic OBJ
servatories of the coast and geodetic
survey thus far heard from.
AT the magnetic observatory at
Chetenham, Md, this disturbance be-
gan about half past 8 a. m. eastern
time, ON April Is, and continued for
about half an hour. 1t will be noticed
in the table giving the time as recorded
by the seiSmograph that this disturb
ance began some time later than the
preliminary tremors, cOinciding with
the principal portion of the disturb
ance as recorded on the seismograph.
1T affected chiefly the horizontal and
vertical compOnents of the earths mag
netic intensity, the greatest disturb
ance amounting to one one-thousandth
part of the horizontal intensity and
about one two-thousandth part of the
vertical intensity. 1t was not of the
same character as that due to cosmic
magnetic storm or as that recorded in
connection with the Mont Pelee erup-
ton, but appears to be chiefly if not
entirely mechanical.
AT Baldwin, Kan. where there is no
seismograph, the magnetic Instruments
also recorded Il similar disturbance
8 TO half past s. eastern time, some
time after the preliminary tremors of
the earthquake reached Cheltenham.
AT the Sitka observatory this dis
turbance was also recorded by the
magnetic Instruments from twenty
four minutes past to thirty minutes
past s, eastern time, somewhat later
than the preliminary tremors recorded
on the seismOgraph at this observatory.
ut is to be noticed that in each of
these three cases the magnetic dis
turbance occurs ut about the same
time that the greatest motion is being
recorded on the seismograph.
''The question whether the earth
quake disturbed the magnetics in a
purely mechanical way or by its action
on the earth's magnetism is by no
means Settled-in fact, it is only recent
ly that attempts have been made 10
study the phenomena"

EARTHQUAKES SPEED

Duration OF Quakes Was Nearly
Four UourS.
At rate of five ana one-half miles Il
second trcm lrS from the earthquake in
San Francisco on Wednesday morning,
April Is. were transmitted through the
continent from the Pacific TO the At
lantic coast, says a Washington special
dispatch to the New York Herald.
Such is the story Of the sesmoSraphic
instruments in the United States coast
and geDdctic survey laboratories in
Cheltcnham. Md, and Sitla, Alaska. a
full record Of which was recently is
sued. AS heretofore stated, the dis
turbancc recorded by the sciSmograph-
IL earthquake machine was greater
than any hitherto shown since the OBJ
scrvatorics' establishment Here is the
official statement isSucd at the coast
and g.odctic survey;
The record from Il distant earth
quake tone more tl.an 600 miles away
may conveniently he divided into sew
cral portions THE first portion, gcner-
ally known us the preliminary trcmor,
consist; of very Mall, irregular vibra.
lions with a period Of two TO four sec
ouds. The duration of these prelim-
mary trcmWs IS believed to increase
directly with the distance from the ori-
gin of the earthquake. Next comes
the principal portion of the earth
quake which generally continues with
three or four large waves over Il period
OF fifteen to twenty-five seconds I'M
medidtely following these waves come
TIE large waves, generally lasting sew
eydl minutes and producing the max
imum motions Of the recording stylus.
After This the motion dies down slow
~ until the end
AT Chrltenham the preliminary trem-
ors began at Sh 19m. DIS. mt distance
Of > 40 miles from san Francisco. As
suming now the time Of the first shock
MS 5h. l2m. Pacific time, or Sh. 12m.
eastern time, rs given by Professor
Davidson of the University of Califor
MIA, the velocity of these trcmors is
found to he five and One-half miles per
second. about twenty times the
velocity of sound. The time taken for
these waves to cross the continent was
I'm. Dis.
THE large waves began about Sh
30m. 13S., or I'M interval of Ism. 13s.
after the first shock, and the velocity
of these waves appears to be about two
and one-quartcr miles per second.
AS will be seen from the accompa-
nying table the duration of the earth
quakeS was nearly four hours. The
duration of the strongest motion, how
ever, was only from Sh. 30m. to about
Sh. 40m. During this period the mo-
ton was too large TO be properly re-
corded by the Seismograph. The period
of vibration in the preliminary tremors
was about two or four seconds; in the
principal portion it varied from ten to
twenty seconds"
Here is comparative statement of
results at Sitka and Cheltenham, ac-
cordinG TO eastern time:
