followed by increasing the looms from
six to eight per weaver. It was also
claimed that notices of fines for faulty
work had been given, which would fur
ther reduce the pay, it is alleged
1t was stated by the weavers that the
matter would be put up to the agents
tonight and that if no agreement could
be reached. general strike in all three
mills would he ordered to-day, which

VERMONT VERY SUBSTANTIAL.
Although 1t Was Rocked by Earthquake
Last Evening.

Burlington, April 29.-In commenting
on the earthquake which was felt IN J,
city last evening" Prof. George z .\s
kins, state geologist, recalled .>a>ssre
! tremor that occurred in n dnity
about 1871. AT that tic ,NNold high
school building was cpiiSv.fed unsafe

pupils were Immediately ordered out OF
doors. There have been slight shocks
since, but none of any consequence. The
early Jesuit fathers recorded severe
earthquake throughout the Champlain
valley some 200 years ago.
This section OF the country, said Pro-
iessor Perkins, overlies rock formations
that are old and firmly settled. 1t is one
of the most stable parts of the north
American continent, and the few earth
quakes that occur in such region are
seldom or never violent. Over the east
ern part OF the United States earth
quakes are not 80 extensive as in the
west, but sometimes violent shock oc-
curs Unexpectedly, as in Charleston, S. c.,
several years ago.
In the Cascade mountains, however, a $
elsewhere, there is a line OF weakness in
the formations, and earthquakes are
more frequent and more violent. Vol
canic regions are subject to earthquakes
Of great force. Sometimes the ocean
bottom settles, causing shocks

from which it radiates, with a crack,
from which the shock travels in both di-
reetons.
A crack ten miles in length might pro-
duee a shock extending for 200 or 800
miles. The extent to which violent
shocks may spread is shown By the fact
that an earthquake in Russia was de-
tected by the seismograph in Cambridge,
Mass. The tremor in this case was of

by a delicate instrument which magni-
fies the motion 50 that it can be meas

Opinions differ as to the depth at
which the break occurs. Some believe
this 70 be from five to ten miles. others
As near the surface as one mile. Pro-
fessor Perkins said that the depth is
probably not over FIVE miles; below that
