In a so-called temperance drama
played i'm this city two weeks ago. the
temperance man got so drunk that it
took DR.. Davis an hour to pump him
out; and the playgoers had to sit and
look at each other while the job was
being done A few got disguised at the
delay and left, but they did not know
what was going on behind the scenes.

IAN FoRETELL AN ERUPTION.

Frank e Ferret the widely known
seismic authority. asserts that vol
canic eruptions and earthquakes can
be accurately foretold.
When the sun and the moon are In
certain positions" said Mr. Ferret
the astronomical influences have
tendency to change The earth's spher-
zeal shape into that of an ellipse OF
course. the earth does not really be-
come an ellipse but if it were a liquid
body 1T would take AN elliptical form
AS it-is, the tendency to change
from sphere to an eIIipse manifests
itself in condition OF stress
This condition of stress in the
earth's surface brings about a widen
ing and contracting of the assures in
the crust OF the earth. This contract
ing Of the assures results in volcanic
activity. In other words when the
sun and moon are relatively so placed
TO each other that astronomical condi-
tons are favorable. then the earth
tends to become an elliptical body. the
assures contract and the eruption Of
some great volcano takes place.
Il do not say that the astronomical
conditions caused the disturbance. but.
provided the conditions below the
earth's surface point TO an eruption.
the astronomical influence will surely
bring about this eruption. We can tell
to a day the date when such an erup-
ton is to happen. provided the local
conditions are in concordance with the
astronomical influences"
Mr.. Ferret says that several wonder
full experiments are being made with a
certain species of sensitive plant found
in cuba. This plant is affected by
magnetic meteorological changes. and
scientists believe that it is influenced
BY earthquake undulations. 1t may be
possible TO foreteh the coming of an
earthquake by the appearance OF the
leaves of this plant. which are ar
fected by bsrometric pressure and
other atmospheric conditions.
