EARTH SHOCK IS
LONGEST ON RECORD
THE PRESENT DISTURBANCE BE-
LONGS TO THE NOTWITHSTANDING
vARIETY-IS RECORDED IN BER-
LIN, VIENNA G. UNITED STATES.

Berkeley, CAL April 15.-Perhaps the
most remarkable shock of earthquake
ever recorded at the students observa-
tory at the University of California was
registered on the Omey seismograph at
an early hour this morning. The shock
lasted for more than half an hour, and
on that account 1t is believed The local
station is much nearer the center of the
shock than the eastern stations, the du-
ration of the earthquake shock being
much longer
ut is well-founded fact that the
shock is always shortset at the nearest
point to the center of an earthquake"
said Professor Leschner, director of the
students observatory, and head of the
department of astronomy at the Univer-
sity of California, this afternoon. THE
shock felt in the east was very plainly
recorded on the Omey seismo graph in the
students observatory. We did not take
the record off until 2 O'Clock in the aft
Tenoon, although 1t was much earlier than
our regular time for making observations,
which are taken every twenty-four hours.
The record of the heavy motion is fol-
lowed by that OF additional heavy
shocks"
Albany n, Y. April 15.-The strongest
and longest earthquake shock recorded on
the seismograph at the state museum
here since the instrument was installed
began at 1:14 "A. IN. today and continued
more than two hours. The record is
much more pronounced than that made
by the San Francisco earthquake last
year. The maximum vibration was so
severe as to swing the pendulom clear
off the recording cylinder. COG
In an official statement given out at the
state biologists office today it is de-
clared that there lis no doubt that the
present disturbance belongs to the world
shaking variety. and that it will be found
to have been felt at all the chronological
stations in this country as well as in
Europe. and perhaps in other parts of the
old world
"The first Indication of the disturbance
was received at LA o clock this morning
At lbs a. m. the waves developed rapidly
TO extraordinary size. reaching an ampli-
tude of over six inches as traced by the
pendulum and causing the recording arms
TO swing entirely off the cylinders.
Berlin. April 1.-THE sesmographs at
Hamburg Potsdam. Gottingen and Jean
registered a severe earthquake shock this
morning al distance of G210 miles The
heaviest shock occurred at a. m.
Vienna, April 15.-The meteorological
stations in this city and at Trieste report
violent earthquake shocks at a distance
of $3.50 miles.

BRYAN TALKS ON MISSIONARIES
Sun Never Sets on American Philan-
thropies.

New York, April 15.-That fewer and
unframed men and more men of strength
and character be sent into the far east
as missionaries was the main point made
today by w. J. Bryan in an address be-
fore the foreign mission board of the
Presbyterian church here. Mr.. Bryan
spoke at length of his years trip around
the world AID told of the work of mis-
sionaries he had seen in the far east
He said:
Il visited a chain of colleges and
schools established in the east by Amer
lean money, and while the United States
may not be able to boast that the sun
never sets on her possessions, she. has
prouder boast-that the sun never sets on
American philanthropy

STAGE Robber Didn't eet $4,000.

Helena, Mont, April 15.-That the Tort
man stage was robbed of $4,000 by lone
highwayman last night is authortatively
denied by officials in this city of the
mining company, to which it was said
the money was being shipped. b. Il.
Phillips of Helena is the owner of the
only mine of consequence in that section,
and his representative stated today that
their monthly payroll of $4,000 was met
with checks. The stage may have been
robbed, but the only valuables carried
must have been consignments from Ma
lata to cash the checks.

ORIGIN of Cork" Leas.

From the New York Press
"A cork leg?" said the dealer. "Why.
man, "A cork leg would crumble under you
like a leg of bread. You don't want a
cork leg, but an elm or willow one. A
leg was never made of cork since the
worlds beginning. But many people
thing as you do, and I'll tell you how
the falacy originated. The inventor of
the modern artificial leg-the leg instead
of the stick-was John Cork. Corks legs.
or cork legs, were famous around 1910.
Ana whenever a man makes your mis-
take he pays an unconscious tribute to
Cork's skill"

The Financier today says: Contrary 10
general expectations, the statement of the

for the week ending Dec. IA proved TO be
favorable in every item. The striking
feature was the gain OF over four mill
lions in cash, nearly all in the shape of
gold The known movements of money
for the past six days indicated a loss to
the interior of about six millions, which
would offset the amount of imported gold
reserve, and il was figured also that the
banks had lost to the treasury on bond
account, but so far from this being the
case, government deposits in the New
York banks have actually increased one
and one-half millions during the week.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. Dec 1.-THE wheat market to-
day opened firm on the strength or high

based upon reports of rains winch are
interfering with harvesting in Argentina.
Later this advance was checked because
of liberal receipts in the northwest. The
market was dull throughout the session.

closed at 1.011zQl.ol9s- -,
The corn market was exceedingly DUH
all day and prices ranged higher because
of the storms prevailing throughout the
corn belt. which promised to delay arriv-
ais and cause further deterioration in the
crop. Arrivals today were unusually
light because of the heavy storm. May
corn opened L to q higher. at 565s 10

closed at the latter figure.
Trade in oats was today entirely local
and the market dragged heavily. just

sympathy with wheat and corn. May oats
opened unchanged to 1sQ1z higher, at 5S12
d5S5s to $3.50, sold between 5S1sdSS9s ana
53zs and closed at 53S4 453k.
The provision market opened weak on
the expectation of a big run OF hogs
and lower prices for them. The storm.
however. held the trains back, and COM
paratively few hogs came on sale. Buy
ing was good and prices not only recov-
cred the early loss, but advanced. Al

BROKERS UNABLE TO SCALP
SMALL FRACTIONS.

New York, Dec. IA brief demon
stratior was made against the mar
ket at the opening. but the rest of the
brief session was given to repairing the
moderate losses then inflicted. on only
few stocks was the decline enough to
call for notice, and the narrowness of
the days movement effectually frus-
trated some trading operation. The ac-
tlon OF several stocks which have re-

impression that they were oversold, as
they rallied easily when the bears
found out they were not bringing out
any long stock. Attempts to reach
stop-loss orders did not meet with sue
