Eri.kx ana Risky.

An agent of a life insurance company one day received a call from a venera. ble but sprightly old chap who wanted to take out policy. but his response to the first question put to him was sufficient to spoil his chances.
 How old are you?" was the ques. ton.
 "Eighty-fve." said the veteran.
 Whereupon the manager. with a laugh. observed:
 "Why. my dear sir. no insurance company would take such a riskw

EARTHQUAKES.
Their Cannes, Their Frequency nud
 Their Two Great Belts.

Their Cannes, Their Irrequcncy nus | Their Two Great Belts.
 There is never a day on which som, part of the earth is not shaken, and |
 Is probable that not oven an hour evel passes without some kind of an earth quake in some part of the earth. Tho truth of this statement may be in ferred from the fact that in Japar alone S,331 earthquakes were recorded between the years 1885 and 1892 The great majority of these shocks are trc mors detected only by instruments or If noticed by man, of such slight in tensity as to cause no alarm. Many however, are sufficiently strong to on danger life and property, and there is every gradaticn between the tremors which only delicate instruments detect and the earthquake which deyastates great city.
 Causes for jars in the earth are many md of different kinds. The falling ir of the roofs of caverns has been known to cause earthquakes, and landslldes have caused others. These, however, are minor causes, and the resulting shocks are of slight importance. A far more potent cause for earthquakes is volcanic action.
 There are two great belts on the earth in which either volcanoes are ac. tive or mountains are growing or lp which the two phenomena are asso. ciated. These two belts follow great circles. One of these passes through the West Indies, the Mediterranean sea, the Caucasus and Himalaya noun tains and is called by De Montessus the Mediterranean or Alpine Caucasus Himalayan belt. In this belt 8 per cent of all recorded earthquakes have occurred. The second belt nearly en. circles the Pacific, following the Andes, the mountains of western North Amer ica, the Aleutian islands, Japan and the Philippines. This De Montessus calls the circum-Pacific or Andes-Japanese. Malayan belt Tn this belt have occur erd Al per cent of all recorded earth. quakes. In all the rest of the world the recorded earthquakes equal only C per cent of the total number.
 Those whose homes are outside the two belts of frequent earthquakes are not absolutely immune from disturb. ance, as is proved by the eart1quake at Charleston in 1886 and at New Mad rid in 1872. But in those parts of the globe earthquakes are not common They occur in widely scattered locall ties at rare intervals and are not com. monly of great destructlveness. In the belts of frequent earthquakes, on the other hand, shocks may occur in many places at frequent intervals and occa. sionally with great violence. San Francisco and Santiago, for example. are situated on danger lines in the earth's crust, as are many other places in the two great earthquake belts.- Professor Ralph s. Tarr In IIeslie's Weekly.

From the Bluffton, Ind, Banner: "When tired out, go home. When you want consolation, go home. When you want fun, go home.

ORANGE CROP OF
 THE SALT VALLEY
SEVENTY-FIvE CARLOADS TO BE SHIPPED EAsT AND IS FOUR TIMES THE SIZE OF
 LAST YEARS.

The orange season is now in ful
 blast and the packing house is a seem
 of feverish activity these days. Tn, golden fruit is coming in faster thar it can be handled, says the Gazette
 This week eighteen cars of the frui
 have been shipped to eastern points This IS just as much as the entire croy last year, and, besides, the quality hai been much better.
 The crop this year is larger than any of the orange growers dreamed of 2 month or so ago. Already thirty -foul cars have been shipped, and there arc between forty and fifty cars yet to be gathered. The full crop is estimated to be in the neighborhood of seventy five cars, which is about four times the size of last seasons.
 One cannot fully realize what busy place the packing house is without wis iting it.. The sizing machine is con- stantly at work and is great labor saver. Several men are constantly at work with trucks, taking the filled pick ing boxes and pumping them in. This morning there were several thousand boxes of fruit that had to be taken care of immediately.
 About half dozen young women are employed to wrap the fruit. Already they have become very expert at this work and can twist the paper about the oranges must faster than one would think possible.
 The first car to be shipped this sea- son brought excellent prices, as is evil denced from the following article taken from the New York Fruit Trade Journal and Produce Record of November 30:
 "The first car of Arizona oranges of the season was sold on the Erie pier last Tuesday by Brown & Seccomb for Emil Zucea, who is agent for the Ari- zona Grange Growers association. The fruit was we'll selected and nicely grad ed; in fact, it was better selected than any that has ever been shipped by the association, and had the fruit showed good color Git was a little too green) prices would have been better. They were very good as it was, ranging from s3.1213 to $5.25 per box, and s2.s0 to $4.15 for half boxes.
 "The next car is due to sell next Wednesday or Thursday. and will be offered by Brown and Seccomb on the Erie pier. Mir Zucca is informed that the color of this fruit will be better.
 "Several of the oranges were cut by the trade and in every instance they were sweet and juicy, and should the fruit show nice color next week, as is expected, good prices are looked for. v
 That the Arizona product would bring higher prices than the Florida oranges was expected, as they have done so for some years. But the state ment that they were better selected than any car that has come from this territory is an excellent testimonial of the value of central packing house over the system which has prevailed here in former years, when every grow CT selected his own fruit.
 There can be no complaint upon the color of the oranges now being sent out, for they are excellent. An orange with the tiniest spot of green is now thrown out and sold in the local mar ket.

Senators Are Willing.

It is too early to say whether a peace pact can be arranged, but the old re- publican senators are agreeably sur 'prised at the presidents friendly atti- tude. They think he desires to harmon ize the party factions as much as may be before the presidential election comes.
 Senators have been given to under stand that he will make no effort to die tate currency bill. There is an under standing already that bill will be for mulated next month, and that the sen ate will try to pass it some time in January. This has contributed materi- lyally toward the era of good feeling between the senate and the Waite House.

Seeking senate's Friendship.

The president s unqualified assurance to the foremost members of his party in the senate is said to have been a step in the little campaign that he is conducting with the object of filling ur the breach between himself and the sen ate which was created by certain in cidents that occurred during the last congress, although the executive and the upper house of the national legislature had not been on the best terms for at least three years prior to the conven. ing of the fifty-ninth congress.

PRESIDENT NOT
 AFTER THIRD TERM
HAS GIVEN SENATE LEADERS POSITIVE ASSURANCE THAT
 HE WILL NOT ACCEPT
 DENOMINATION.

It is said on good authority down at the Capitol that the president has, since the eonvening of congress, given posi- tive assurance to the senate leaders that he will not accept a third term should it be offered him; in other words, that he will adhere closely to his fam ous election night declaration that he considered the term to which he had just been elected as his second term as president, and that under no circum- stances would he again be candidate for that high office, says the Wash. ington Herald.
 This assurance, if it was given, is the first intimation from the president that he is not in sympathy with the efforts being made by his friends to deliver the next republican national convention to him, and "compel" him to disregard the promise he made to the American people in 1904.
