What an Earthquake Is.

sAn earthquake" writes Frank a.
Perret, formerly honorary assistant at
the Royal Vesuvian observatory, in
Century, ''is an undulating vibration
Of the ground resulting from some
sudden movement Of the underlying
strata. This may be produced by
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-
/ spectively known as volcanic, tectOnic
and intervolcanic. Ny own impression
| In experiencing these shocks was that
| OF a rubbing together Of masses un-
| der pressure, which throws the adjotn-
ing material into vibration. If you put
| a little water into a thin, wide mOuthed
crystal goblet, wet the finger tip and
rub it around the rim, a sound will
/ be produced and the water VIII 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 300 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 TuIly 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-
uuired to study theology in a form
probably not unlike that Of the West
minister catechism.-Scrap Book.
Why Do Seals Swallow Stones7
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
empty seals keep down rs 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 ses
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 strevr
along the shore, and that a preference
Is exhibited for rounded objects. Thi.
Is shown by the fact that as a rule
only articles Of one kind are found IL
any one seaI's stomach

they argue in favor of soeia

that socialists want govern

we would avoid socialism.
