Points About Earthquakes

Italy Is land of earthquakes. or
all the countries in the world Italy has
suffered the greatest number of this
class of natural phenomena. Major
De Montessus De Balore, noted
statistician, has compiled a set of rec.
ords which shows that during the
past 30 years Italy has suffered 2T,672
earthquakes of greater or less mag
nltude The nearest rival of italy in
this respect is Japan. where 27.562
seismic disturbances have been noted.
Next in order is Greece with 10 300.
South America with S,0Sl, while the
only other land on the globe having
more than 5000 is Mexico, EXCEPT
the United States, which has suffer
ed 4,467 on the Pacific coast and 937
on the Atlantic coast and one or two
in the interior, notably the awful
quake near New Madrid Cape Cir

number of this weeks bill Nine. We
olette is assisted in her wonderful
performance by Prof. Old, and from
the time the curtain raises until the
end OF the performance the number
is one of deep mystery and interest
to the audience. Prof. Old, after
blindfolding Veolette, passes among
the audience and touching his small
black wand on some object, asks the
telepathist what it is and as fast as
the professor touches the objects,
which are produced by the audience
themselves, Neolette names them.
Large numbers running into the mil
lions are read from watch case num-
bers and initials of persons are given
by the wonderful woman. Much an.
plause was brought forth by the won
derful performance and those who
saw 1t will see it again, without a
doubt.
Jennings and Goelet, the musical
minstrel men, are great and their act
was greeted with applause Both are
good musicians, one playing the ban

their late witty sayings the turn is a
good one. Center and Gilmore also
have fine musical act and entertain
the large audiences at each perform

by many to be the best of this week $
