QuakeS PREDICTED.
Though scientists do not pre-.
tend to a very deep insight into
the mystery of earthquakes, it is
significant that quakes have been
accurately predicted.
Also, 1t is a matter of record
with the British Association fol-
the Advancement of Science that
the quakes comes with some regu-
larity. There are about 60 world
shaking tremors year-thar is
shocks which destroy buildings
near the center of disturbance
and send out waves which are re-
corded by seismographs the world
over.
A comparison of records shows
that only about one-twentieth OF
the area of the earth is affected
by earthquakes in any appreciable
degree. The records kept by
Count de Montessus, a famous
French scientist, up to 1908, de-
scribes 159,784 earthquakes, the
great majority of which were in
Asia, South America and Souther,
Europe.
OF all these recorded earth
quakes "a per cent have occurred
in two narrow, well-defined bands
forming great circles and crossing
each other at two points. Not all
parts of the belts are equally IL
able to earthquakes, but In them
occur almost all the Notwithstanding

SUPPORTS HOBSON
IN WAR PROPHECY
Egan Joins Albanian in Belief
That America Will Fight
Japan.

when Representative Hobson talks
about war with Japan on the floor of
the House of Representatives he is
only giving expression to a belief held
by every officer in the American navy, %
declared Patrick Egan, of New York,
to-day.
Mr.. Egan was formerly minister 10
Chile and has given considerable at
tention to the affairs of the Pacific
Ocean.
Japan believes that the Pacific
Ocean is hers by destiny" he declared,
and it is only a question of time be-
fore she will fight to uphold that be-
lief"
Egan thinks that this country made
a mistake in taking the Philippine ISL
ands and in sympathising with Japan
in her war with Russia. He says that
he believes in a big navy TO maintain
peace. As soon as we quit building
warships, he declares, IT will be temp
tation for another power TO declare
war against US.
