A notable characteristic Of the year
1906 Is the destruction of life and
property which has been caused by the
forces Of nature. These forces have
not been 80 active Or 80 disastrous In
their results for many years past. The
record Is a formidable one. In Janu-
airy an earthquake killed fourteen per-
sons at Gonzano, Italy, and tidal
wave on the Colombian coast swept
away $500. In February hurricane
visited the Society Islands, n favorite
resort for hurricanes, and 1000 per-
ished. In March cyclone swept
through Mississippi and 81 were killed,
and an earthquake In Formosa destroy
ed 1000. In April the vesuvius erup-
ton killed 1000. a second earthquake
at Formosa 100, the San Francisco
earthquake 44S. and a cyclone In Texas
20. In July there were two smaller
disasters. a cloudburst at Ocampo, Mex
leo, which killed 10 persons, and a
waterspout at Lyons. France, which
killed 81.
Tho furies broke loose In August and
1000 were victims Of all earthquake
at Valparaiso and $4,000 Of floods at
Human, China. In September there was
4 long series of disasters. A landslide
and storm In tho Caucasus cost 255
lives, the typhoon at Hongkong 10000,
a flood at Topic. Mexico. 10, a herri.
cane at New Orleans and Mobile 40.
and cyclone In southern Spain 90. In
October hurricane off the coast of
Florida, which started from Venezuela,
skirting Honduras, Nicaragua, Saliva
dor. and Cuba. left 9S6 dead In its
path. During November nature took a
little rest, great lake storm in which
80 sailors persisted, being the principal
disaster. In December came the food
which destroyed the village Of Clifton,
Ariz., and caused the loss of GO lives.

disasters of this kind the record shows
