CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKES,
Number That Have Shaken the State
During Ten Years, 1889, to
1898, Inclusive.

Among the reports OF the United
States geological survey published in
the "nineties" are eight bulletins on
the subject of earthquakes in Califor-
MIA, which contain accounts of shocks
that occurred during the ten years
from 1883 to 1898. inclusive. Study of
these bulletins shows that there wa$
hardly single month in all those tend
years when seismic disturbances, more
or less severe, were not felt along the
Pacific coast
The first of these bulletins (No. 6S)
was written by Prof. James Edward
heeler, astronomer in charge of earth
quake observations at the Lick
observatory. Previous to this Prof.
e. s. Holden had published, through
the California state printing office,
paper which contained a list of the
earthquakes that had occurred in Cal
lfornia, lower California. Oregon and
Washington territory and which gave
all the available data up to the end of
the year 1888 The next bulletin mo.
9o) published by the geological survey
was prepared by Prof. Holden. IL
contained an account of the earth
quakes in 1890 and 1891. The other
bulletins covering the records for 1892.
1893, 1894, 1895. 1896, 1897, and finally
1898, were published as bulletins Nos.
l12, ia, 1923, 147, 1866, and 161, respec-
lively, and all were prepared by Prof.
Charles ID. Perrine, of the Lick OBJ
servatory.
The largest and most complete
instrument used for recording earth
quakes on Mount Hamilton, as de-
scribed in these bulletins, records the
north and south, east and west and
vertical components of the earth's
motion separately on a smoked glass
plate, which is started by the prelim-
mary tremors of the earthquake and
rotates uniformly in about three min
utes the edge of the plate being grad.
uated into seconds at the same time
by clock, which also serves to record
the time of occurrence of the shock.
This instrument has been called the
Ewing seismograph. Another simpler
form consists of heavy duplex" PEN
lulum adjusted to a long period of
vibration, with a magnifying pointer
or pen, which records on a smoked
glass plate both horizontal components
of the motion. The vertical eompo-
nents and the time are not recorded
The observatory possesses other seis.
mographs of various patterns, but
they are not constantly in use.

CARRY VERY BIG CARGOES
That Is What the Ships That Sail
the Pacific Are Said to
Be Doing.

The steam schooner, a vessel whose
build and habits are peculiar to the
pacific, often goes to sea with her
loadline over her hatch" Which
means, says Ralph d. Paine in Outing,
shat after her hold has been crammed
With cargo, a deckload of lumber is
piled half way up the masts, so that
her skipper puts out with the water
washing green over his main deck,
and an occasional comber frisking
across his battened matches.
Along the harbor front of Seattle
runs the story of a passenger who
loped down to the wharf in a hurry to
get aboard a departing steam schoon-
err He balanced himself on the string
piece for an instant, then hove his
gripsack down the only opening in
sight He was about to dive after it
when a lounger on the wharf shout
ed:
Hi there! Where do you think
you're jumpin' to? That's the smoke
stack you tossed your baggage down."
HE'LL" gasped the passenger, Il
thought it was the hatch"
The yarn has a slight flavor of ex-
aggeration, but it may serve to hint
that the commerce of the Pacific has
ways of its own. Until recently an
other distinctive feature of this ship
ping was that there seemed so very
little of it for so much water.
On a recent voyage the Minnesota
carried to the orient 20 locomotives,
more than hundred railway cars, TO-
900 kegs of wire nails, and 100000
worth Of hardware, machinery, -four
and other products of the mills, the
mines, the farms and the factories.
In 1897 the total tonnage of Ameri-
can steam vessels engaged in the Pa
cific ocean was 23,426; in 1905 it had
increased to 1865, by which time
more vessels in foreign trade were
owned in Washington than in any 9th
er state of the union.
New ships are building to meet
new demands, and yet with almost
every voyage the liners leave behind
them waiting cargoes for which they
have no space, whose bulk is measured
by hundreds of carloads. In the first
half of last year ten ships were filled
with freight left behind by steamers
out of Seattle and Tacoma.

NOT ALLOWED IN STABLES
Dogs No Longer Considered Good
Companions for Fast
Trotters.

Dogs are no longer the correct thing
as stable companions of horses. Some
years ago every trotter or PAGER OF
prominence. and a good many of nc
distinction, had faithful dog in its
stall, and there was a sort of super
sutton among trainers that a dogless
Morse would not amount to much.
Real champions always had DOGS. saws
the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Way back in the days Of Goldsmith
Maid, that wonderful mare was ac.
companied on her travels by a small
Scotch terrier, for which the old mare
had some affection although she was
jealous of the beast, and when "Olo
Charlie" who took care of the mare
and slept in the stall with her and the
dog, made too much of the terrier, the
mare would run the dog out of the
place without ceremony. And when
finally the dog disappeared for good
the mare did not seem to miss it.
Cats take naturally to horses, ana
most horses like cats. The GodolphiD
Arabian, founder of the English thor
oughbred family of to-day, that figures
in Eugene Sues works as the noblest
animal of his kind had for compan
ION cat that slept on the stations
back and fed from his manger. Blu
in the necessities of modern campaign
ing cats are too apt to be lost to make
them available for horse companions
and few are seen, although now anc
then one turns up at minor meeting
At Cleveland a couple of summers
ago, one trainer had four tame doves
that could not be induced to leave his
horses and that when the stable moved
from one town to another were always
ready to go into their cage for ship
ment.
Some trainers object to having dogs
with the horses. Peter " Johnston
who has brought out some of the best
nags on the harness turf, says no dogs
in his. He had one along some years
ago and it made friends with the bes
horse in the string. One day the trot
ter accidentally stepped on the dogs
toes while moving about the stall
whereat the cur snapped back and
nearly severed a hind tendon for the
trotter, running a $4,000 racing prop
osition in an instant.
John Turner never had a dog along
In all the years he campaigned trot-
ters. Also he steered clear of black
horses. Not any sable nags in Turn
er's barn after one year of terrifying
experience. He had always known
they were bad luck, but that season
a patron bought Black Frank, a trot.
ter that looked like the real thing
He went lame before he had been in
the barn a day, and then misfertunes
followed one another until finally, Net
tie, the best trotting race mare of that
day, lay down and died. Turner is
now with the runners, but his antip-
athy to black horses is still rampant
