@An earthquake" writes Frank A.
Perret, formerly honorary assistant at
the Royal Vesuvian observatory, in
Century, rs an undulating vibration
Of the ground resulting from some
sudden movement of the underlying
strata. This may be produced by a
volcanic explosion, the breaking or a
stratum Of rock under strain or the
sudden intrusion of lava between the
strata or into a fracture, the types re-
spectiveiy known as volcanic, tectontc
and intervolcanic. Ny own impression
In experiencing these shocks was that
OF q rubbing together Of masses IN
der pressure, which throws the adjoin-
ing material into vibration. II you put
a little water into thin, wide mouthed
crystal goblet, wet the finger tip and
rub 1t around the rim. a sound will
be produced and the water will be set
in vibration like the ground waves OF
an earthquake"
When Harvard Was Young.
Harvard, the first college, founded in
1885, continued for more than fifty
years to be the only college. 1t was
established by vote Of the general
court Of Massachusetts Bay, which
agreed to give f4O0 toward its endOw-
ment. Two years later this endOw-
ment was more than doubled by the
bequest Of John Harvard. who left
half OF his property and his entire IL
brary Of 800 volumes to the college.
The conditions Of admission were few.
To matriculate It was necessary to
know $50 much Latin as was sufficient
to understand Tully or any classical
author and to meter and speak true
Latin In prose and verse" The stu
dent was required ''to be able TO de-
cline the paradigms Of Greek nouns
and verbs" Each class was also re-
quired to study theology in a form
probably not unlike that Of the West
minister catechism.-Scrap Book.
Why Dc Seals Swallow stonssf
No nature student seems yet to have
| discovered for what reason seals swal-
low stones, though the fact is a well
established one. Certainly the stones
are not taken in for ballast, for the
I empty seals keep down as easily as
the others. They are not swallowed
for the purpose Of grinding up food,
for they are found In the stomachs Of
nursing pups. They are not taken in
with the food because they are found
in the stomachs Of both young seals
and In those that live In the open sea
and feed on squid. Yet it is evident
that these things are not swallowed
haphaZard, but are selected with con-
siderable care from the articles gtrewn
along the shore, and that a preference
is exhibited for rounded objects. This
is shown by the fact that. as a rule,
only articles Of one kind are found In
any one seals stomach.

Picture of a Splendid Kind
is Shown at the Bijou
Today.

aThe Unveiling' Is the name OF a
Biograph picture at the BijoU the
alter today. The story Is one about
the saving OF a young man from
moral. social and financial ruin.
The boy, who is the idol OF his
widowed mother, returns from col
'Iege with collegiate record she
is Justly proud of. To mark the oc-
castor his boyhood sweetheart and
her mother come to spend few
days. The too-induIgent mother
however, is blind to the fact that
the boy is spending most OF his
evenings in full dress, which should
have told her that Bohemian society
was engaging his attention. A show
girl, who learns that he will soon.
come into great wealth. determines
to win him Unsophisticated as he
lis. he is an easy prey. A friend OF
the family warns the mother OF her
boys danger, which she is loathe to
believe until positive proof is pre-
fsented. Pleadings are In vain. for
the boy is fascinated, and so the
sorrowing mother, feeling that she
has lost all that she has lived for
determines upon seIf-destruction and
is prevented only by the timely APP
pearance of her visiting friend, who
devises the plan that awakens the
boy. She has the mother pretend
suicide on account of the loss Of
fortune. This shows the boy the
true nature and design of the object
of his infatuation.
