MANY SHOCKS IN CHILE.
People Had Grown Used to Them
and Had Little Fear.

Earthquake shocks have been of fire.
uuent occurrence in Chill since observa.
tons on the subject by Europeans be-
gan centuries ago. but it has been com
mon belief among the people of that coun.
try that the shock is seldom followed by
great earthquake.
In Chill earthquakes manifest them
selves by a quick horizontal and some
times rotary vibration. and when the TO
Gus is near the sea, the sea is also agi
tated.
The ground undulates, but very rarely
bursts open. For some time afterward
at gradually frightening intervals from
twelve hours, there is succession OF
gradually iessening shocks.
According to observations. which have
been general throughout Chill, because OF
the frequency of the shocks-sometimes
several occurring in a single month with
out damage-the shocks never come al
night. There is certain season of the
year when they are of more frequent oc'
currence than at othr times.

u. Chicago trade by X. G..

CHICAGO.


Dun < Co. says:
THE aggregate of new demands in
the leading manufacturing branches
sustains favorable deductions as to flu
ture activity. An assuring evidence
of stability appears in the remarka-
bic strength which characterizes the
raw material markets and the unprece
dented consumption of supplies enter
ing into the finished products of the
mills and workshops. Distributive deal
ings exhibit rapidly expanding tend
ency. The markets are unusually well
attended by visiting buyers, and this
has greatly stimulated orders for gen.
eral merchandise to be forwarded with
in the next six weeks. Transactions in
staple goods exceed those of year
ago, the buying being we'll distributed
in the textiles, wearing apparel, boots
and shoes, house furnishings and food
products Western merchants are much
encouraged in their operations by the
splendid results attained in agriculture,
and are planning for the largest fall
business ever known.
Local retail trade has made season
able Roadway, and summer stocks are
well reduced. The forwarding of fin
ished materials and store supplies ex-
ceeds all previous volume and is about
to be much augmented by the jobbing-
house shipments.
The total quantity of grain handled
at this port aggregated S,2S5,57S bush
els, against 7,7S0Q09 bushels last week.
The receipts increased 3 per cent and
shipments decreased 54.2 per cent, as
compared with those in same week last
year. Live stock receipts were 262. 800
head. against 297,542 head last week.
Lumber receipts aggregated 40. 900
feet, against 52,712,0O0 feet last week.
Compared with the closings week
ago, prices advanced in sheep 10 cents
and cattle 20 cents per hundredweight,
and decreased in corn Is cent a BUSH
ell, wheat rs cents, pork 10 cents per
barrel, ribs Is cents, lard 20 cents and
hogs 1919 cents.

many people lost their lives. In 1880

caused considerable damage, though
the loss of life was Insignificant
There have been shocks of less vio-

the residents of the city to build with

in the main the towns structures out

In one densely populated section the
streets are tortuous and narrow and
the dwellings are so built as to offer
weak resistance to an earth disturb
ance.
In view of the visit Of the earth
quake so closely following the San
Francisco disaster it is interesting to
note that the formation of the land
end the surroundings of Valparaiso are
similar to those of San Francisco. The
climate also is almost identical with
that Of the California city.

DIRECTING WIRELESS TELE
GRAMS.

Commodore Marconi has recently per-
fected instruments by means of which he
is enabled TO so direct the waves of the
wireless line from the point of trans
mission to the point of receipt and cannot
be received at any other station or point
than the one at which they are intended
to be received. BY this means, wireless
waves are conducted through the ether in
focal lines of force exactly as though
wires were used.
Recently a group of war vessels at an
Choir on the Mediterranean side of Glib
raltar were employed in testing the new
improvement.
Marconi. from his station in Cornwall,
was enabled to select one of these YES
sells, and by directing his waves upon
one vessel. just as beam of light might
be focused upon given point, was able
to communicate with her without her sis
ter ships being aware of the fact
Afterward that particular ship was fol-
lowed around the entire coast of the Med
iterranean by wireless waves from the
station at Poldru In Cornwall.
These waves had to cross the channel
and the Spanish peninsula in order To
reach that ship, passing over Cantabrian
mountains, the Sierra Cuadarama noun
tains, Sierra Toledo and Sierra Nevada
mountains.
