All civilized nations are now making
these Investigations and. when at
peace, exchanging Information that
helps one another to solve these seis-
matte problems, but in furtherance of
this general development each country
should have prepared q map showing
nish tables showing the records Of dis
turbancee, both small and great, for
past periods.
Interest in this subject took new life
in this country after the San Fran
cisco earthquake and, while. private
sources have been active, the govern
ment has taken up the work To in
sure success. information can be Sc
cured from two sources. the carefully
and highly trained men in charge Of
delicate instruments, and from the re-
ports Of personal observers stationed
throughout the country.
When the government took up the
subject 1t was found that the weather
bureau offered, in its large body of OBJ
servers. the best facilities for obtain
ing such reports, and accordingly such
DIR. W. J. Humphreys placed in charge
of it's administration.
Nearly 5000 men gave some time
each month to furnish information to
the weather bureau, making reports
on the water flow, temperature, rain
fall and similar subjects. To each one
of these men a card is sent asking him
to answer certain simple questions in
case of seismic shock perceptible
without the aid of instruments in his
vicinity.
These personal reports give the date,
place, duration and violence of the dis
turbance and answer a number of 9TH
er questions. Then, in event of a
shock. upon the return of these cards
(Which are check one upon another)
an analysis of them will show the gen.
eral direction of the fracture and the

less damage than a building of heavier
construction would. The pagodas of
Japan and China are constructed in
such manner as to be nearly earth

In addition to a light construction
they have suspended by heavy wooden
beam from the center of the roof an
enormous weight down in well built

a heavy pendulum with center of grav-
ity below the surface. and this appears
to afford perfect protection against
being overturned by the shock of an
earthquake.
There is, in one sense, no direct
financial return for the money ex-
pended in making scientific studies of
earthquakes, but it is well estab-
lished principle that no discovery of a
theoretical nature Is without eventual
value in a practical way. But the in
vestigations now carried on through
out the world may be of great practi-
cal value 1t is quite certain that
where shock has been so great as to
produce marked disturbance the frac-
ture or slide has been so pronounced
that line of weak resistance remains
and at that place there is liable, under
renewed stress and strain, to be an
other shock or disturbance. producing
another earthquake. OF course, this is
more probable in a country like Japan
and the Mediterranean country, young
geologically. where the crust is still
in process of bending and folding and
flowing.
The work of no one nation, excellent
as some of the work is known to be,

broad enough to supply the data of

Witnesses to earthquakes have described
how the earth opened at their very feet
and while they watched. in state of
fright that paralyZed their feet, the
earth slowly closed again. for all the
world like a giant yawning.
There have come tales of huma ms
swallowed up in the great cavities which
afterward closed over them. There is a
story that is told of the Japanese who
was visited following the terrible Garth
quake and who told his visitors that his
family had simply disappeared He had
been away from home when the earth
quake occurred.
The loca ations most subject to earth
uuakes and so affording the best oppor-
tunity for their study are Japan and the
Mediterranean region; and, TO less oe-
gree the western coast of the American
continent.

and depressions and upheavals of the
surface result. Probably the earthquakes
OF these times are no more violent than
those of the past, although resulting in
greater loss Of life and property.

Artists and authors have the honor OF
being most numerously represented in
King Arthur's wonderful book. There is
hardly famous artist in England or
America whose name cannot be found
among the long list of collaborators.
Many of the most familiar and popular
artists have not only written words of
commendation and sympathy, but also
shown it in fullest measure by donating
a full-page illustration of the work of
their own hands.
So many styles of Illustration are
found in the book that the selection
of the finest in technique or beauty is
entirely a matter of personal opinion.
However, the consensus of popular
opinion in England, it is salu, seems
to lean toward the picture entitled

foreground the artist has depicted a
dying Belgian soldier with the stand

grasp. while a winged, martial aveng-
ing angel in armor. with unsheathed
sword IN hand, upholds the banner and
the limp warrior. In the background
is seen the figure of the Son of Man
nailed to the cross; while to the lower

if another man likes some other breed he should follow raising that

breed you took no interest in. There are many good breeds of all
kinds of stock, but the fact nevertheless remains that in order to
make a success they must have care and attention. together with
plenty to eat. This applies more particularly to hogs than any
other kind of stock pu raise.
