shrewd Peter the Great.

Peter the Great adopted rather a
novel means to convince his subjects
that they should change their clothes
To conform with the modern costumes
of western Europe. Relieving. as is
well known historically. that the flu
ture greatness Of Russia depended up
OF the facility with which it was made
to assimilutP all that was best In
other countries. he had succeeded in
introducing some important innova-
tons into the half civilized region
over which he held sway. At length
he had patterns of cloth hung up at
the gates of the towns. and those who
did not conform to the fashions thus
set were docked publicly. albeit this
WAS done in as pleasant manner rs
possible. for Peter believed in being
good natured with his people. They
on the other hand. loudly demurred
and used the argument that what was
good enough for their forefathers was
good enough for them.

not give them any wine, because their

1T is an essential part of my theory
of seismic energy that hurricanes. cy-

of the atmosphere are always the at
mOSpheric tail-end of an earthquake
in other words. that a hurricane or
cyclone cannot occur unless the coa-
ditions are present for developing se.s-
mic energy; it is possible for an earth
quake to become aborted and degencr-
ate into a hurricane or cyclone. Cos
mic forces are active in developing
conditions favorable for eimic energy;
conditions. however. may result in con
fining that energy to the atmosphere.
