If. in view of the fact that there was no
resulting damage worth mentioning, we
are inclined to critieise the use Of such
words as s'severe'' or "heavy" III the above
descriptions, we must remember that the
men who wrote them had only a few hours
before been standing on shaking and rock
ing floors, with all doors and windows III
then houses rafting, and the woodwork Of
roofs and partitions threatening with warn
ing creaks and cracklnGs to break aSunder.
It was all these things that made the writers
use such terms, although they were well
aware. after the shock had passed, that it
was by no means TO be compared with the
destructive earthquakes hat from time to
time are brought under our notice.
How are these remarkable movements of
the~earth's crust caused 2
Dana in his 'tNianual of Geology" gives
two causes: (D Vnpoufs suddenly pro-
duced, causing ruptHres Of the rock masses.
such earthquakes frequently occur in con-
n~ection With volcanoes.
f2) Sudden movements or slips along old
or new fractures. Such earthquakes are
most common in mountain regions but also
may occur in the plains.
Slips in the rocks which form the earth's
crust have frequently been shewn to have been
the cause of earthquakes. Such slips form,
or extend, what the biologists call "faults."
The nature of q fault may be easily
understood from the accompanying dia-
gram, which represents a group of small faults
occurring i'll the limestone rocks of the low
cliff bordering the shore at Cane Garden.
The rocks there are in some layers marked
by the presence Of numberless spines and
broken fragments of sea-eggs, in other lay
ers by numerous casts of tinger-shaped corals.
They are thus easily traced, besides which
the faults themselves are plainly seen, except
at the top of the cliff, where they are lost
in the mari which has resulted from the
decomposition of the rocks. 1t will be no
ticed in the diagram that the rocks on the
nrper side of the crack or fault are those
which have Sudden down. This, however,
though most common, is not always the case,
sometimes the change has taken place up
wards, and. the fault is then called an up
thrust fault, the common faults being then
distinguished as down-thrusts-
Tn faults shewn in the diagram are very
small, but there are faults in mountainous
districts known to measure thousands of
feet of displacement upwards, and it is plain
that when jerks occur along such lines, the
results may be very serious

IN Territory Reached Its Majo
Changmong Stay Lee Fits Himself That He May Be of
Service to His People

WV re KNOW little of China, al
N though we now know more
Wv than we did before the new
republic over there came
along TO focus ou. attention upon the
conditions obtainiI g in the land of ex-
clusion. We learr ID of the fall Of the
Manchu dyra y and the passing Of
the Chinaman 8 queue. Thereupon, we
began to think that, perhaps, all China
men were not laundrymen or garden
ers aud we were told Of the ancient
civilization Of Cathay. We have not
come to respect China particularly,
even if great change was effected
without any undue fuss, but we have
come to learn that there is a lot to
China, physically and humanity.
All of this lends interest to the story
Of Manehu prince, who was washed
away on the spring flood Of a great
river in China, to float all night amid
the wreckage of farms and villages and
to be picked up in the morning by a
merchant junk "with great wings on
it," all of which served to acquaint
him with his own people and their
needs and to inspire him with an idea
and an ideal. Prince Changmong Stay
Lee, favorite of the old dowsger en-
press and member of the ancient Man
chu dynasty, is now in the United
States as direct result of that night
of floodtime and danger. He is here
| to study our methods of business and
living, that he may in his turn teach
his own people, and this despite the
fact that the Manchus are now shorr
of power and prestige. He is doing
this in a spirit of altruism that finds
few equals. He is in the great cities o.
the east today, interviewing manufae
turers, learning methods of organiza
tion and gaining general information
that, some day, he may build factories
in his own country and teach his peopl,
to make simple necessaries, such a
clothing and shoes.
II He is outspoken about his purposes
81 am not in sympathy with the new
republic" he has said. "They ar,
working for civilization and the better
ment of the people, as am |, but we ar,
going in different directions. This hai
been my aim in life since / was bo,
of 13 years. Ever since that time
have been educating myself that
might educate my people. This new
political party wants to overthrow
everything, change everything. Tha
will do no good until the people are edu
Gated. The first thing they must lear
is to make their living. 1t does n
good to give money; it does no goo
to give food. We must teach them
earn their living; we must teach theT
} how to live properly. That is what
! am trying to do.

true that men of my class are usual
not interested in such pursuits. 1t wa
