FREQUENCY OF
EARTHQUAKES

That within a single year three
earthquakes of sufficient violence to
throw down houses and destroy life
should have occurred i'm such close
proximity to large cities as to cause
the appalling disasters at San Fran
cisco, Valparaiso and Kingstown is
certainly remarkable. lit is not to
be wondered at that this coincidence,
for such it must be considered, has
given rise to a widespread popular
belief that the earth is in state
of unusual instability 1t is to be
noted, however, that there are thous-
ands Of earthquakes each year, and
that OF these from SO to rs annually
are of sufficient violence to be elias
sed as world-shakinking- is to
say, of such vigor as to make pro-
nounced records on the seismographs
in all parts of the world, and to en-
danger life and property near the
center Of the disturbance. There
have been no more such shocks than
usual during the past year: but three
of them have happened to occur near
.centers OF population in the western
hemisphere.
Most OF the violent earthquakes
pass with little or no public notice.
because they produce no noteworthy
effect on human beings. For ex-
ample. the earthquake off the coast
OF Columbia January 81, 1906 one
of the most violent OF the year. at

THE LETTER CAR
RIERS STRIKE.
POST-OFFICE DEPARTMENT EN-
BARRASSED BY SITUATION
AT BUTTE, MONT.

A situation has developed in
Butte, Mont, which is causing seri-
GUS concern to the officials OF the
post-onice department. The letter
carrier force, numbering %, has
rendered its resignation, TO take eff
feet ON March i. unless better sal
aries are offered them. In the pres
ent circumstances the post-ofiice de-
partment is powerless TO remedy the
difficulty because the highest salary
which can be paid letter carriers at
Butte is $3.50 year.
The carriers declare, in a formal
statement to the department, that
they cannot live on the salaries now
paid carriers, or on the salaries OF
5000 which are promised in tho
pending post-ofllce appropriation
bill. They say that every class of
labor has advanced from to %
per cent and that prices on living
commodities have advanced from 8
to % per cent. What may be done
regarding the Lutte case is yet prob

The situation is serious, because in

Bio Rats Of Wheeling.

The Pied Piper of Hamelin could
reap fortune were he to spend a day
in this city. says Wheeling (W. Va.)
correspondent. Rats as large as good
sized cats are swarming in the mills
OF this city. and In several the work.
men have threatened to walk out un.
less the invasion is checked.
Some of the tales are wonderful to
relate. In one factory. according TO
well authenticated reports, n rat was
seen TO take n tin pail In one of lis
paws and trot away on the other
three feet. Another deftly took the
lid of a pail In order to get at the
goodies he knew were inside. Another
dragged n dinner basket by his tail.
but was unable to get the basket
down the rat hole. so he got behind o
barrel to investigate HIS plunder.
The workmen declare they cannot
frighten the rodents away. for they
show fight. The amazing stories OF
boldness on the part OF the rats grow
with each repetition. but there is no
question that the rats do eat the Ia.
borers' dinners and that there is indlg.
nation as a result.
