WAITING FOR THE CRASH.
Leon Lewis Thinks He has Solution
 of EarthOuake.

Leon Lewis, author of several books and a scientific work entitled "The De luge''. who has lived in Bakeryille for several years. is now stopping at I3l Asylum avenue and expects to make Hartford his home. Yesterday he called upon Mayor Henney and pre- sented him with a copy of his theory as to the San Francisco earthquake. His explanation is as follows:
 The San Francisco earthquake is not an accident or chance occurrence 1t is an inevitable outcome of great .aw of nature. which can he as easily ,omprehended as stated. Briefly, the situaxOn is as follows.
 i. During the last 25.00O years an immense mass of ice has been gather ing at the South Pole.
 ?. This mSss of ice. while growing necessarily acts as solid. or as SO much iron or rock would act. and un- der the law of gravitation. pulls the oceans across the equator into the southern hemisphere. thus shifting the parth's center of gravity in that same direction for distance corresponding perfectly with the quantity of the ice.
 2. The immense quantity of ice and water thus accumulated at the , South Pole. following the example of the sun and moon. has an inevitable tendency to throw out to the north ward throughout the northern hem isphere n protuberance corresponding to this protuberance in the southern hemisphere. precisely as We see pro duce1 everywhere on the surface of the earth a rise of waters away from the moon fsay to the wes;ward1. and at the very moment the moon itself is on the eastern side of the world. and tho waters immediately under it's ''puli'' are rising to the eastward. 1. The whole phenomenon is ac- cnrIingIv in the nature of universal world-title acting upon the incandes- cent and other fluid materials of the interior of the earth. and causing an outward swing to the northwarsi throughout the whole northern henis- phere.
 ;. This nutswing of said fluid mat teTs to the ncrthwsrl. or m a north and sou.i line. is distinctly visible in the earthquake Of San Francisco. and may be taken as m insiisputable proof of the truth of my explanation.
 C. All our recent earthquakes. as af VeSuviuS. Samoa and Mount PeIee. arc the result of the law of attraction I have here pointed out and I do not need to tell you that the workings of this law will continue until tho whole face of the earth is wreck and ruin. Any day. anywhere. we may expert similar Instructions fo that now under our gsze in California.
