from some visitation of nature that de-

great suffering and loss. The powers
of nature are so profound, and the pos

thing so ever-present, that it is a very
hazardous affair to be alive at all on any
square mile of this lovely but harassed
planet of ours. The prophet who claims
to have predicted San Francisco's disas-

dreadful calamity that is to over

Good Rules For the Ewes.

Although the eyes contribute
more than almost any other feature
to personal beauty, they get surpris.
ingly little attention from the ma.
jority of persons. Here are few
simple rules for preserving thei1
strength and brightness:
Do not read by freight. When
possible, protect the eyes from the
direct glare Of lamp, gas and candle
light. Do not read or work in such
dim light that an effort is neces-
sary to see clearly. If the eyes are
tender wear smoked or tinted
glasses. Never apply soap near the
eyes. Battle them once daily, the
lids being open, in tepid water. It
is best to use an eye bath or egg cup
and to open and close the lids in the
water. Do not apply any face cream
near the eyes. Put nothing on the
lashes but the best Of unscented oil.
Never cut the lashes in the belief
that they will be improved. Keep
in mind that white cliffs, stretches
of sand and of snow are injurious
and must be guarded against with
glasses.

Accomplishments
of Earthquakes

There undoubtedly is some connect
ton between earthquakes and volcanic
disturbances, for when there are great
explosions with large EXTENSIONS of lava
and other matter there is often grea,
disturbance in the vicinity, and yer,
severe earthquakes result. Ii fact, tn,
most frequent earthquakes to-day at.
in volcanic regions. As to the relations
between volcanic disturbances in on,
part or the world and earthquakes in
another, the evidence is somewhat con
f1icting. Yet it is a notable fact that
the earthquake in the Mississippi Val
ley, in lSl1-l2, ceased when the volca
10 of ST. Vincent, in the West Indies
broke out, and there is perhaps sug-
gestive coincidence between the erup-
ion of Vesuvius and the earthquake in
San Francisco.
The tidal disturbances that frequent
ly accompany earthquakes may be due
to distinct seismic outbreaks on the
floor of the oceau, but often are simply
the reaction against vibrations received
from the shore. This rebounding ener-
gy frequently brings to the shore It'd
al wave halfa hundred fee. high, which
washes over the coast and adds to the
damage of the shock. Such a catastro-
phe was popularity feared in connection
with San Francisco, but with little rea-
son, as the Golden Gate and the heights
of Golden Gate Park would have di-
minished or repealed large sized tidal
wave. From sour Unstable Terra

This Hazardous
Life of Ours

Thousands, if not millions, of people
have been asking whether or not it was
going to be at all safe to rebuild San
Francisco, in view of its liability to
what the scientific men call seismic
disturbance. This is really something
like asking whether or not it is worth
while to build cities and towns in Kan
sas, Iowa, Nebraska, and adjacent
States, because destructive tornadoes

Mr.. Nordyke spent some weeks here

that California was "good enough"
for him. He had no idea then that
he would rejoice to get away from
there with his family within a year.
He says that earthquake shocks have
been of frequent occurrence since the
big quake which caused the destruc-

did good deal of damage at Santa
Cruz and some other points, but little
mention was made of it in the papers.
