scientists arc
/ SEISMIC trying to answer
r the auesti o n !:
DISTuRBANCB. Have we an
earthquake zone.
and X 80, where is it7 The reply OF
the scientists is that we have an earth
quake belt which extends along the
Pacific coast the growing OF the coast
mountains contributing TO the seismic
disturbances. IL would seem that In
1855 the earthquake zone in the United
States was limited to New England and
there was then disposition to hold the
country northsast OF Quebec respon-
sibls for the disturbances. In that
year an earthquake In Massachusetts
began on Nov. IS with n roaring noise
like that OF thunder. which was fol-
lowed by . severe shock with a swell
like that OF . long rolling sea" Then
came other shocks in a series OF violent
serks and wrsnches.
There was startling evidence in 1911
that the earthquake zone was in the
Mississippi valley. for In the country
extending 500 miles southwark from
the Ohio river there was almost con-
tinuous seismic disturbance for several
months. Throughout this entire re-
Bion. which. by the way. was far re-
moved from any active volcano, tho
earth rose and sank in great unduls-
tions. Lakes were formed only 20 be
drained later on. the rivers course was
changed. counties were changed from
one side OF the stream 10 the other,
and new islands made their appear
ance.
The earth's surface was rent open
in great assures. some half a mile
IN length. from which mud and water
were elected 10 the height OF tree
tops. over a large part OF the ter
ritory there was sinking OF the
ground, and for months there were phe-
nomena that amazed scientists and af-
frighted the people. These disturb
ar. - continued until March 20. 1912

The effect OF public criticism OF un-
wise governmental business is shown by
the intimation OF the Ottawa government
that owing 10 structures the contract in
regard TO immigrants made with the
North Atlantic Trading company will soon
be terminated. This company was receiv-
ing one pound sterling for each man. wo-
man and child IL brought into Canada.
The Salvation Army for Its immigrants
received only about one-half this sum.
and while good immigrants might posi-
bly, be worth the pound. the trouble was
that no one I'm authority outside govern
ment circles could find out 10 whom the
money was paid.

newspapers as the Mail and Empire OF
Toronto were turned upon the contract.

Slaughter of Game in South Africa.
From South Africa.

During the tour months of the shoot
ing season of 1904 something like $4,000
head Of game has been sold on the
Kimberly market. hose figures were
rather staggering. but IL Is surprising
perhaps to near they had more than
doubled during the present year.
The secretary OF the Game Protection
association las obtained a return from
the m~arketnaster which showed that
29,119 head OF game was sold on the
Kimberly market during the period
April / to August Is last. II of that
29,119, say 1000 head were small birds
which did not come within the usual

left something like 81 goo head Of buck
and birds which were included in the
usual Interpretation Of the word
game" That was q lamentable return
and clearly emphasized the necessity
for taking some action to stop the in
discriminate slaughter Of game.
The totals under the various heads OF
the return showed the game included

conversed as is customary at these gather

weather, then of theaters, and then Of
anything they could think Of. They were
In that last stage when Gerald said with
his usual bluntness:
IT understand that some lady Is going
to nah herself ridiculous after dinner"
oh" rejoined his companion What
Is she going to do"
Speak about women's rights" replied
Gerald In a very disgusted tone. Much
better II she'd stay at home and-and-
Grand look after the children"
IT don't think Miss Walrond has any
children TO look after" came the answer,
accompanied by a delicious laugh.
well, at any rate answered Gerald,
somewhat discounted, "she oughtn't TO
make an exhibition of herself. One of these
women who want TO wear trousers and
smoke pipes. and all that sort Of thing, I
suppose"
TO a peal OF laughter.
You are too ridiculous she sasped
eventually.
I'm quite serious cried Gerald, to
whom this subject was a red rag to a
bull. II call IL perfectly disgusting and "A
disgrace to the sex for a woman TO make
such an exhibition of herself. / can i'm
agine her-wears spectacles, short,
straight hair. freckies, plain as they make
'em. That's like her, isn't it?" He had
quite forgotten Dick C~unnyngham's des-
cript.on.
"weIl, not very much. She doesn't wear
glasses, and 1 dom think she has any
freckles. She has quite a curly lot OF hair.
too"
HIN. Do you yourself believe in this
women's Rights business"
"Oh, yes, most certainly / dor' quickly
came the decided response.
Really" Gerald Querled In a discom-
hted tone. 'Well, / am surprised. Surely
you don't th.nk that woman should give
UP her sacred duties and go out and work
among men?'
II do, when a woman has nobody to fall
back upon, as thousands nave not. What
Is she to do, starye? Woman can keep
womanly, although she works for her own
living
And then ensued a long discussion on
that much discussed question, Gerald
standing against 1t tooth and nail, laugh
ing at its advocates and particularly Miss
Ethel Walrond.
They were only interrupted by the an
nouncement of dinner. Dick Cunningham
suddenly appeared, saying Gerald was 70

II am afraid you happen TO be talking

'I-but I'm talking TO you spluttered
Gerald
Yes. ard l I'M Ethel Walrond."
"Ob-h-hl" He had bitten the dust alb.

swallow him? What an absolute ass hs
felt. He mutt say something or do some
thing. But what could he say or do? Al
the time Miss Walrond was gazing at hin
with a very amused expression.
You oughtn't to do II. you know, Miss
walrond.' Gerald at last blurted out
What she ought not to nave lone was no
very clear. I'm awfuIly sorry. though
