UNPOPULAR TWOPENCE FINE.

for Coming Home Late.

Agitation I'm Vienna Against Penalty
for Coming Home Late.
Tired of paying twopence to get into
or come out of their own houses after
10 o'clock at night, many good citizens
Of Vienna have been agitating for an
extension Of CLOSING time" at least
until II o'clock, says the Pail Mall
Gazette. This custom Of "Sperrstunde"
CLOSING time), with its accompanying
'Sperrgeld" (entrance money!, is one
peculiar to Vienna. 1t obtains III no
other capital or big city on the CONT
nent, although they resemble the Aus
trian capital in that their residences
are practically all fiat houses. But in
all these cities the tenants are provided
with house keys. Only in Vienna must
those who are out after 10 o'clock ring
up the porter and pay twopence before
they can get to their own apartments.
Similarly, too, anybody wanting to
leave the house between that time and
6 o'clock the next morning, be he Wis
itor or tenant, must pay the same toll,
which is the perquisite of the porter.
And not only is the house door lock
ed, but all lights in halls and stair
cases are put out precisely at 10 o'clock
and the late home-comer must grope
his way upstairs with the aid of wax
taper stuck in bit of cardboard,
which drops grease spots impartially
on clothing and stairs.
1t Is this locking-up time which
gives Vienna streets at night the as
pect of country lanes, which strikes
ropean capital are the streets so dull
and empty long before midnight.
While, however, thousands of people
complain Of the nuisance and the ex-
tortion involved by this ridiculous Gus
tom, 1t is upheld strongly by the land
lords and city authorit ies-by the land
lords because the "Sperrgeld' enables
them to get house porters for little
more than lodging quarters, and by the
authorities because the locking up of
the houses affords immense protection
against burglaries and night crimes
generally and consequent saving in
police duties. In fact, it is almost
solely upon the ground of the public
safety that the government has now
again refused to permit any abandon
ment of this peculiar custom or even
any extension Of the hour Of locking up
"Sperrstunde" and "Sperrgeld" orig
mated in the troublous times of 1S4S
when the government used the house
porters very much as the Russian DO
lice still use the "dvornik," for the pur-
pose Of spying upon the occupants of
their houses. Those times have long
since passed, but with true Austrian
"Sperrstunde" and "Sperr-
geld" remain, and promise to do so for
some time to come

has been visited by 800 in forty-three
wears. The Dutch East Indies are, as
is we'll known, a region of both vol
canoes and earthquakes.
Along the Andean System.
To refer to the Western Hemisphere
again. it has been recognized by various
biologists that the Windward and Lee
ward Islands of the West Indies are
part of the continuation of spur of
the Andes The seismic belt which be-
gins in Venezuela continues along the
reefs and basins into these islands The
descent of the Andean system is rapid
to the coast of La Guayra, and thence
to the depths of the Caribbean.
Throughout the Windward and Lee
ward Islands the frequency of quakes
is high, but the intensity is seldom
great. About forty miles north of the
Island of ST Thomas is the deepest
abyss in the Atlantic. San Domingo,
Jamaica, the eastern part Of Cuba and
Porto Rico are frequently shaken, and
their seismcity may be put, according
to the authority quoted, into relation
with the fact that the sea-bottom in
the vicinity of those islands is one Of
the most rugged and highly diversified
in it's profiles of any part of the earth.

them than with volcanic quakes, and
vice versa.
There Is in Japan q remarkable alb
sence of any tendency of earthquakes to
associate themselves with volcanoes
Most japanese earthquakes originate at
sea. and their vibrations on land in
dictate that they have travelled a con-
siderable distance. and that the dis

considerable length of period and we'll

preliminary tremors and longer waves,
which is indicative of considerable dis.
| lance travelled by the vibrations be-
tween the centrum and the recording
station. The deep foci, the long periods,
the absence of small tremors, the con-
siderable areas over which light vibra
lions are felt are indicative of tectonic
rather than volcanic origin.
proceeding southwark along the
Pacific coast no marked development Of
seismic activity appears until we reach
southern Mexico, in the State Of Co.
ina. Accasional reports are made CT
quakes in the divinity Of the great
volcano Collma, and the City of Mex
leo has been visited by few shocks
Of moderate intensity, and by occa-
sional light tremors. But the develop
ments of seismic action are not great.
In the State of Oaxaca, however, there
is sudden and great decrease of seis-
micity. 1t occurs in long and rather
narrow belt, extending parallel to the
coast, reaching into Guatemala and
| through the entire length of the Central
| American States in the Isthmus of
| Panama.
| The Central American and South
Mexican seismic regions indicate vol
canic origin. These regions are famous
for their volcanoes, which are more
numerous and closely adjacent than
anywhere else in the world. Through
out the 1900 miles Of volcanic coast
line earthquakes have always been
abundant and often highly destructive
In 772 quakes Of which records have
been made, it was found that their
epicenters occurred in close proximity
to the volcanoes. and never more than
remarkable fact that none of the not
able quakes observed In this district
suggests a tectonic origin.
Following the coast line into South
America, two seismic regions are en-
countered at Panama, both of them
at great distance. One is in Vene-
zuela, far to the eastward; the other
in Ecuador, far to the southwark. "Our
knowledge Of earthquakes in the An
des," continues Major Dutton, "is
usually too insufficient in detail to en-
able us to form very definite opinion
as to their nature and class. Some of
them originate in places which are not
far distant from volcanoes, but whether
near enough to create the presumption
that they are really associated with
them Is not always known. On the
other hand, many Andean quakes dis
play the tectonic character so clearly
that their origin is equally free from
doubt"
Both classes, however, are abund-
ant. From a point about 25O miles
north of Callao to beyond Valdivia, in
Chile, the South American coast has
been subject to earthquakes Of the
greatest energy. Sometimes they have
originated upon the sea-bottom. In
these cases great sea waves have rolled
in upon the coast with disastrous eff
feet.
