Two hundred years ago today the man who laid the foundation stones in the science of seismology (tne study of earthqualkes) was born in colonial Boston. Known by the name of John Winthrop he became the foremost student of his day in America in astronomical and eartn- ly phenomena Ever since mankind believed in God, popular opinion was that an earthquake was a dt- rect manifestation of Divine wrath. Mythology attributes earthquakes to underground monsters. The Japanese believed that Q monster where disturbances are frequent, and often became restless and shook the earth. When the earth quake of November 1s, 1755. gently shook the hills of New England, the sunerstitious citizens became the blame at the door of Benjamin Franklin, suggesting that his new fy-invented lfghtning-rod might have caused the tremor by drawing the electric fluid fromthe clouds and concentrating 1t upon New England It was then that Vim throp, a Professor in Harvard Col lege. read a public lecture upon the recent earthquake to calm the ter rified population 1Earthquakes.e he declared to a partly Skeptical audience, '1are neither objections against the order of Providence nor tokens of Gods displeasure, ac- cording to the viev of s3perstitious minds, but they are the necessary consequences of general laws" More specifically, he accounted for them as being produced by the ex- pansive action of heat upon vapors contained in underground cavities, and pointed out that earthquakes had occurred at intervals in New England ever since the first settlers landed, but that not single life had been lost nor had any great damage been done by them.

Mature folk sometimes talk as
 though that holiday happiness were a
 thing of the past, but it is not so.
 As a matter of fact grandfather,
 aged 70, really enjoys Christmas as keenly as grandson, aged z, only in a
 different way. Some of the glamor and romance has been dispelled per- haps but not the real joy of the sea- son. Children have their own pecu- liar joys and men and women have theirs and the two cannot be obso- lutely identical.
 The child thinks and enjoys as a child. The man puts away childish 1 things. Both the individual and the race grow older. Some of the romance, some of the mystery, some of the ecs- | tasy of delight pass away. In the 14th
 century men believed in mysterious lands toward the setting sun. Over | there was enchanted ground, with mountains of gold and gardens of flowers, all ruled by the Queen of the | Fairies.
 Then came the great era of discov- l cry and all these extravagant fancies were aaispeIled. Beyond the dark and | periIouS sea was land indeed, but no more an Fl Dorando than that left | behind. Myth yielded to fact. Here | too was hardship, here labor and pain,
 here the same old humdrum life that 1 Europe knew. The bright vision fled
 and naught but the sober realities of | life remained. The present age com
 pared with earlier centuries is some | thing like the maturity of an individ- ual compared with his youth.
 | With increasing years Christmas Il ceases to be mainly a bubbling merri- | ment an eager expectation The age fl of lollipops and dolls and sieds passes I and is gone. But in place of these things something better has come. Age
