CITY SINKING INTO THE SEA.
Bottom Falls Ont of lIarbor and New
Peril Is Caused.

Bottom Falls Out of Harbor and New
Peril Is Caused.
The city of Kingston, rocked by an
earthquake and almost destroyed by
tire, next seemed in imminent danger
of sinking into the sea altogether and
disappearing utterly from The face Of
the earth.
With the number of dead still not
definitely known and estimates run
ming from 1000 to 1900 and a property
loss reaching into millions, fresh alarm
was caused by dispatches from Port au
Prince, Haiti, which said that the bed
of the harbor was sinking and that it
was dangerous for ships to approach.
There are thousands of tourists in the
vicinity of Kingston and this news
from there caused widespread unrest.
The water along the front portion of
Kingston is said to be 100 feet deep in
many places and that other portions
of the shore are rapidly sinking. The
Plum point and Port Royal lighthouses
are both at the bottom of the harbor.
The navigation channel has materially
changed and in some places the depth
of the harbor has been altered from
forty to 100 feet. A circumstance that
tends to uphold the new danger is a
dispatch from Holland Bay, saying
that the portion of the town of Port
Royal which sank 200 years ago is
again unde water.
The news from Havana regarding
the huge tidal wave that inundated the
entire coast nea Jamaica's capital and
changed the jamaican coast line, fol-
lowing closely upon the heels of the
cumulative details of the earthquake
and fire. caused the most profound in
terest in Washington official circles.
Naval officials were stirred. Secretary
Metcalf expressed himself as greatly
shocked at the advices from Jamaica.
Officials of the government have been
inquiring into the minute details of
the topography of the stricken city and
the adjacent coast. Dotted with sugar
estates and country residences, the
plain on which Kingston lies rises
gradually from the shore to the foot Of
the Lfguanea mountains. The coast
line reported to be sinking into the sea
presents some of the outlines of a
turtle, the mountain ridges represent
ing the turtles back.
From the sea level on all sides ridges
in series rise toward the central range
of mountains. On the plantations In
some portions of the coast there are
extensive irrigation works. The hurri-
cane Of November, 1899, wrought great
havoc with the plantations, but these
have since been replanted and ex-
tended. The trend Of trade all along
the coast for some years has been to-
ward the United States.

poor was fruit. The stencil from de-
Gazing bodies scattered through the de-
bris threatened an epidemic, and the
few doctors in Kingston, although
working night and day, were unable to
cope with the threatened plague. The
ships in the harbor were crowded with
injured people, and corpses lay in the
streets until thrown into trenches or
burned.
Kingston was overwhelmed by the
earthquake. All the houses within a
radius of ten miles were damaged and
nearly every house in the city was de-
stroyed. Fire broke out after the earth
quake and completed the ruin. The
! business section of Kingston is a heap
of smoldering ashes. The killed mum

Fresh details of the disaster came
from various sources. According 10
one report the whole city of Kingston

ed together and fell in a crushed mass
under the first shock. The business
streets at the time were well filed

work and buried in the debris. Fire
broke out Immediately after b crash
at three separate points. The fire de-
partment station was wrecked, render
ing resistance to the flames impossible.
The conflagration continued unchecked
until Tuesday morning, by which time
the whole business quarter of Kings
ton had beer wiped out, the damaged
area comprising about a square mile.
All the large warehouses in the low
err part of the city were consumed and
not a single house anywhere remained
unchanged, the majority being unfit
for habitation. A conservative esti-
mate of the casualties made by the po-
lice OF Kingston places the number of
killed at 1900.
The treasury in Harbor street was
standing, but the postoffice and court
houses were in ruins. The government
offices were unsafe for occupation, gov
eminent house was badly damaged, the
Colonial Bank was burned out, the
Nova Scotia Bank was a heap of ruins.
The Roman Catholic cathedral. the
Paris church and the Scotch, Wesley
an and Baptist chapels had disappear
ed and the theater was destroyed.

ships in the harbor were transformed
into hospitals. The cabins of the
steamer Port Kingston were full Of

OIiAE Ell -.
1t was now nearly six months since
Vandeloup had become clerk of the Pac-
tolus. and he was getting tired of 1t, only
watching his opportunity to make 8 little
money and go to Melbourne, where he had
not much doubt as to his success. With a
certain sum of money to work on, NJ. Van
deloup thought that with his talents and
experiences OF human nature he Won soon
be able to make a fortune, particularly
as he was quite unfettered by any scru-
pies. With such an adaptable nature he
could hardly help doing well, but in or
der to give him the start he required a
little capital, so stayed on at the Pactolus
and saved every penny he earned. An
other thing that kept him there was his
love for Kitty, and yaudeloup could not
tear himself away from the place where
she resided.
He had called on Kitty's father, the
Rev. Mark Marchurst, who lived at the
top of Black Hill, near Ballarat. and did
not like him. Mr.. Marchurst. a grave,
quiet man, who was the pastor Of a par
ticular sect, calling themselves very mod
estly 'The Elect was hardly the kind

he said to himself one day when Kitty
had limited at matrimony; when I am
wealthy it will be time enough to think
of marriage. but it will be long before l
am rich, and can I wait for Rebe all that
time?"
Meanwhile. the DEVILS Lead was still
undiscovered. many people declaring it
was a myth, and that a lead had neHSs
existed. Three people, however, had =
firm belief in its existence, and were GER
tain it would be found some day-thiS
trio being Mcintosh, Madame Midas and
Slivers.
The Pactolus claim was a sort of Ma
both's vineyard to Slivers, who, in COM
pany with Billy, used to sit in his dingy
little Office and grind his teeth as he
thought of all the wealth lying beneath
those green fields. He had once even gone
so far as to offer to buy a share in the
claim from Madame Midas, but had been
promptly refused by that lady.
Still the Devils Lead was not found, |
and people were beginning to disbelieve in
its existence, when suddenly indications
appeared which showed that it was near
at hand. Nuggets, some large, some small, |
began to be constantly discovered, and
every day news was brought into Balla-
rat about the turning up of a thirty
ounce or a twenty-ounce nugget in the
Pactolus, when, to crown all, the news
came and ran like wildfre through the
city that a three hundred ounce nugget
had been unearthed.

~stition, cerdulity and easygoing belief in

epidemic emotion may sweep like the

classes are unmoyed by scientific ideas or
philosophical speculation, and a certain
opposition to learning n culture wa
early manifested. The first great put
break of e~motionalism was the witchcraft
delusion, an experience which paved the
way for that later and far more extensive
emotional tumult, the great religious
revival, started by the preaching of Jon.

their disciples. He thinks it not surpris-

ties where the revival frenzies ragged
fiercest in 1901 are the counties where
%lynchings occurred from 1882 to 1903.
A curious variation from the normal evo-
luton was the failure of the invading
whites to reduce the native Indians to
servitude. For the first time in history
there seemed a chance to create a civil

Floresco claims to have brought back
life to dogs whose hearts have stopped
from twenty-five to forty minutes. He
applies electrodes directly to the heart,
either on the outside or by needles to
the inside Of the ventricles. Janilew-
sky has started heart beats in a rabbit
tw%enty-four hours after death, and in
the aurices three days after death. This
he accomplished by perfusion Of the
heart by Locke's solution. Inhibition
Of this heart action a be brought
about by applying electrodes at the
Get of the aorta. Locke and Rosen-
helm perfused a heart that had been
hanging in the laboratory for FIVE
days since its removal t,om the rab-
bits body, and caused it to give beats
Of considerable magnitude. Howell Of
Johns Hopkins concludes from his ex-
periments hat inhibition Of the heart
depends on the presence of diffusible
potassium compounds of this charac-
ter.
From the physiological standpoint,
therefore, 1t looks as if the day may
come when death will be cheated of
it's prey, and the heart forced to take
up again the work that it has laid

The fourteenth annual report of Presi-
dent Schurman of Cornell shows that the
number of students now is 346l, which
is just double what it was when Schur-
man took charge. Schurman agrees that
the Butler college professors are not
paid enough, owing to the increased cost
of living. The proportion of women stu
dents remains at about 10 per cent, the
number being 81 this year. The medi-
cal examiner finds that most of the en-
trants are in poor physical condition, as
the result of overwork in preparing.
