A popular idea among the natives is
that the Hercules beetle saws Off limbs
of trees by grasping them between the
two horn-like appendages and flying
round and round. This Is manifest
impossibility, as the insect has little
power in the horns. and. moreover,
the upper one is lined with soft, vel
vety hair, which would be rubbed Off

Apropos Of the Jamaican earthquake
1t may be recalled that Prof. John
Mines. the great English seismic au-
thority, has advanced a theory TO ac-
count for recent disturbances Of this
character manifested here and abroad
in various parts of the world. This
theory has been held tenable by Sir
Norman Lockyer and Prof. Archenbold.
says the Philadelphia Register. Prof.
Mines declares that fhe disturbances
are due not to a merely normal re-
adjustment of the earth's strata or to
the shifting Of the surface to meet q
gradual contraction In the size of the
globe, but are caused by displacement
Of the globe itself from its true axis
and are really due to the jar incident
to the subsequent swing back Of the
earth upon that true axis.
1t is conceivable that such a return
movement to the axis as well as the
original distortion would cause a ire
mendous strain upon the crust and
could easily account for the most ter
rife seismic commissions imaginable.
Sir Norman Loclkyer declares furth-
er that the deviation from the true
axis is due to the great sunspots which
recently sent more energy to the earth
than at any other time during the
thirty-ive years sun-spot period and
which, through the great difference In
the corresponding temperatures, caused
the formation Of vast Ice masses at one
or the other Of the poles OF such weight
th,4t the distortion took place. TO Be
subsequently remedied by other varia-
tons.
