Prof. See translates Aristotle's the
DRY of earthquakes. which has never
before been made accessible to English
readers. The Greeks all held thar
earthquakes were duo to the agitation
OF vapors within the earth which
tended to escape and dlffuse them
selves in the atmosphere. Aristotle
observed the eruption OF volcano
and concluded from the vapor noticed
to escape that all earthquakes were
due to the same cause as that pro-
ducing eruptions.
When Plato was 81 and at the head
OF the academy in Athens ana Aris-
totle was boy OF II years old the
Homeric city OF Helike on the south
ern short OF the Gulf OF Corinth, was
thrown dawn by an earthquake and
overwhelmed by seismic sea wave
The cause OF this disaster perplexecr
the Athenian sages and has remained
one OF the mysteries OF the centuries.
NOW comes Prof. See. who shows that
1t was due simply to the expulsion OF
lava from beneath the Gulf of Corlnth
which thus made the sea bottom I'M
stable. and when 1t gave way 1t also
carried the shore on which Helikc
stood: indeed. the city was first devas-
tated by the movement OF lava beneath
the crust and afterward subsidized about
100 feet. so that 1t was covered by the
waves until only tho tops OF trees re-
NAMED above tho water.
Besides the sinking OF Helike. other
cases of the subsistence or the land
arc mentioned, and In the concluding
note attention is called to the eleva-
ton OF the mountains and the sinking
of the sea bottom now going on In the
Vicinity Of the Aleutian and Kuriie
Islands, in the north Pacific.

ONE PASSENGER KILLED
Steamer Arrives With Her Decks Bat
tered by Tremendous Waves.

New York, Dec. 2S.-With one pas
senger dead and another seriously in
jured and with her decks battered and
SCARED by tremendous waves the Rus-
sian steamer Sratov arrived here to-
day from Litau and Rotterdam. The
voyage was a continuous struggle
against wind and wave Heavy weather
was encountered from the start and
the seventeen cabin and S27 steerage
passengers were kept closely conf1n-
ed to their quarters.
On December q 4 huge wave broke
over the bows and sweeping down
caught two women steerage passen-
gers. So great was the force with
which the wall of water struck the
women that one of them was instant
" killed. The other sustained serious
injuries. Everything movable on that
portion of the deck was caught up
and carried along until it crashed
against some solid portion Of the ship.
The damage to the steamer was con-
fined to the breakage OF deck fittings.

Grover cleveland under title of Our
People and heir Ex- Presidents, has
contributed an interesting article fo
the Youths companion for January D
Referring to the poverty of Jefferson
after he left the presidency as blow
tc national pride, Mr.. Cleveland de-
clares definite and generous provision
should be made for the maintenance
Of chief magistrates at the expiration
of their terms He deals with the
subject at length and explains that he
feels that he can do so without his
sincerity being questioned, since he is
beyond the need of aid from the
public treasury.
The condition is by no means met
Mr. Cleveland writes, "by the nleagre
and spasmodic relief occasionally fllrn-
ished under the guIse of a military
pension or some other pretext; nor
would it be best met by making COM
Tensation dependen. upon the dis
charge of senatorial or other duty
Our people ought to make definite
and generous provision for all cases
alike, based on motives of justice ann
fairness, and adequate to the situa-
ton"

tiens that his former high offioe placf
