 Johnny Coulon, the bantam weight clianlpion of the world. will pass his. twenty-fifth milestone tom orrow. hav- ing been born in Chicago, on Feb. 1zsH 1Sss- Although scarcely more than a boy in years. Johnny is a veteran of the ring, and is often referred to as .sOId Johnny Cou1on- He has held his title longer than any other of the present crop of worlds champions. It ny became the recognized king Of his ditision, which had been without a cham pion since 1905, when Frankie Neil graduated into the featherweight class. Of late several promising con tenders for the title have come to the front. including Kid Williams of Bal tirzlore and Eddie Campi of San Fran- cisco, and it is likely that Coulon will soon have to defend his honors against one or the other of them. It is a coincidence that Campi, like Cou- Io1i zof IrisfzFreneh descents Kid Williams is Dane, and native of Copen4iaEer Tn s12 Cou1on took on York. and. in the opinion of most ex- perts.

YESTERDAYS EARTHQUAKE

.i
 Since the accurate registry of earthquakes practically began in Japan in 1880, and in this coun- try only after the Charleston dis aster Of 1886, it is not possible to compare yesterdays experi- ence with past shocks that have visited New York. Probably it was about as severe as any in his toric times. It may have origi- mated either in the bed of the Atlantic or in one of the faults" known to geoIogists in the old Laurentian rock of our Adiron- daclS region. In any case, it's waves travelled through the earth, diminishing in intensity with the distance, exactly as sound waves travel through the air.
 Earthquakes are noted almost every day by delicate instru- ments in different parts of the world. Fortunately few are ever even felt by people in general. The area of displacement is usu- ally small, and it is 8 matter of IHck whether the centres of dis turbance fall near closely 1n- habited places. At Messina the slip in the bed of the strait was unhappfIy near shore. Not half Sicily felt it, but the destruction near by was terrible. The cen- tres of the Charleston shock were inland in a region of sparse population. In the San Fran-s cisco case a rock .sfanIt'' in the mountains shifted a little along a line nearly 200 miles long, though the trelnor was felt in an elIip- tfcaI field of great size.
 No uneasiness need be felt in New York about earthquakes on. account of the unusually high buildings The chief earthquake zones of the world follow its high mountain chains and its areas of volcanic activity. NorthVestern States and Canada are about as immune as any parts Of the eartla's surface. The greatest damage In the San Francisco shock befell in made ground or soft alluyial soil. There and elsewhere modern steeI-franae constructiOn withstood the test admirably. Rock-founded New York and granite-ribbed New England have little occasion to worry about the freaks of the uneasy earth. (New York WorId.)

The Dysoeptic: s.aow can a man live
 in smell like that ?''
 Taste, sight and smell all have an influence upon digestion. If one eats something that does not taste good one retards the work Of digestion be- cause the juices necessary to digest the thing eaten will not flow in cor rect proportion.
 On the other hand, good food will always excite the taste through actual contact with the food in the mouth or through the sight or sense of smell, unless the stomach knows that it can not digest it.
 We thus readily learn that the sim pie act of giving nature the digestive fluids she needs. will bring back all the joys of good eating. and tasting, smelling and seeing dainty dishes will excite rousfng appetite. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are com posed of natural ingredients that a worn out digestion simply welcomes with wild delight. They enrich the stomach juices quickly so that if you want to eat an out-of-the-ordinary after-the-theAtre sort of a dinner, just carry a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet in your pocket, take it after the meal and you will digest that meal. Your druggist will supply you with a box no matter where you live. Price 50 cents
