A NINE DAYS, WONDER.

unknown force. He gives the state

and various fragile articles hurled

heavy loss, by breakage, to the Amer

house. This is probably the most
remarkable and best authenticated
occurrence of its kind OF which there
Is any record, and great interest has
been aroused among scientists every

world. The article attempts no ex
