Roadway has been made into the
causes of earthquakes. The re-
cent disturbance which resulted
so disastrously to life and prop
erty in Italy and Sicily was ap-
parently caused by the gradual
sinking of the earth's crust,
which is said to be taking place
On q limited area about rs miles
in diameter and including the
strait Of Messina, the northeast
ern portion of Sicily and the toe
of Italy. Acc riding to the best
information obtainable, this area
has been settling at varions times
for many ages. That particular
portion of the earth is known as
a remnant Of the ancient TYR
henian crust block, and it is be-
lieved that earthquakes will re-
cur there until the remnant has
finally disappeared. In connec-
ton with earthquakes in that
section it is believed that the re-
cent disturbance was the result
of the geographic sinking of the
land, but there is no doubt that
the numerous volcanoes in Sicily
and Italy had an indirect in
fiuence in the movement.
Some biologists say that earth
quakes are but manifestations of
the development of the earth.
The earth is said to be in a con-
slant quivering tremor of con-
structive change and that volca-
noes and earthquakes have not
the slightest bearing toward
signs of the destruction Of the
globe upon which we live.

THE FOREIGN LEGION.
A Peculiar Body of Fighters In the
French Army.

French Army.
The French foreign legion is a het-
erogeneous organization. It is COM
posed of disappointed men Of every
country political refugees. military
fugitives. In fact, all varieties Of the
worlds restless citizens go to make
up this wonderful mongrel fighting
machine. mo questions asked" might
well be the regimental motto. Each
man signing his bond of service sells
his soul for five years at the wage Of
j sou about 1 cent? per day.
The officers are French. but the men
hail from everywhere and nowhere.
Under various names the French le-
gion has existed since the eighteenth
century and was finally constituted as
at present in 1880. 1t consists Of twelve
battalions divided into two regiments,
mastering a total strength Of 1900
men. Eight thousand are kept in the
far east, the remainder serving in
northern Africa. In the early days
the regiments were divided into ina
tional sections" men from the same
country being kept together.
This resulted, however in continual
racial disputes, and each company con
sequently was given a cosmopolitan
composition. Since its formation the
officials have guarded closely against
desertiOns, and as the legion only
serves in French colonial territory
where the centers are remote and
transportation is difficult a successful
desertion is a rare feat. - Chicago

whether to eat fish with fish

bread, whether to serve champagne in

surd to regard one of these courses as

nothing to do with courtesy, with

Smile at me, nephews and nieces,"
he resumed, because / tuck my nap

l spoil my black broadcloth coat with
turkey stains or smears of cranberry

say, that the napkin may only be

ephemeral rule!
1T was rule of etiquette in France
during the reign of lie Roi Soleil,' the

Power Development.

Good water powers open to To-

is adding to the value Of those

broader use of electricity it be-
comes necessary that available
water powers should be harness.

that end. Eastern capital is
seeking investment in power
companies for the reason that
the rapidly growing enterprise of
furnishing power by means of
electricity. which in turn must
be generated by water power in
order to be made of practical
commercial use, is entering the
industrial world to stay; it is a
safe speculation that is bound to
advance in value because indust-
rial conditions are making de-
mands for cheap power; it is a
case Of power being sought in
stead Of seeking. With the elect
rifcation Of the mines of the
west the mills Of the east and the
railroads Of all sections Of the
country, there is a steady and
rapid growth in the commercial
use Of electricity so that the
water powers Of the United
States will soon be taxed to their
limit to satisfy the demands of
the commercial and industrial
world in this direction. The
potential or hidden power Of coal
and other fuel used in general
ing steam power is exhausted
and lost forever when used, but
water power is wasted and lost
when it is not used. so, in a man.
