UNIQUE CONFERENCE
Interesting Union Meetings Held by all the Churches.

the Churches.
 The inter-church conference held in Canaan two days last week, was a unique, interesting and valuable gath ering, of kind that is producing re- suits in many places all over the coun- y. The purpose of these conferences, which are promoted by the auspices of the aLaymen's Missionary Movement, is to further the general cause of mis- siC ms, both home and foreign, and to il stitute new and more equitable methods of raising funds for church and missionary support-what is known as the simultaneous every member can- yass''-the advantages of which and theuplethod for making it effective be- ing explained by representatives of the movement.
 The meetings of the conference were attended by clergymen aud delegates of various denominations from Salisbury, Falls Village, the Cornwalls, Kent, Warren, Norfolk and Sheffield, and a considerable degree of interest was manifested.
 The first meeting was held Thursday evening in Town hall, Rev. MT. Travis presiding, when Brewer Eddy, of Bos- ton, live wire in the work, who was introduced by Rev. E. Q. Gillette, spoke most interestingly along the lines indicated, and was followed by Rev. 0. O. Merrill, who kept the audience interested and entertained. A united choir of about 80 voices, with Miss Gladys DeHart at the piano, sang most acceptably, and the audience as a whole sang several nuinbers from the Choral Union selections of hymns.
 The second meeting was held in Town Hall, Friday afternon, after a lunch had been served by the ladies of the parish, to the clergymen and dele gates. At the meeting Rev. MT. Crich- ton presided, and Messrs. Eddy and Merrill spoke, and Miss Grace Rora- back, of Canaan, field secretary of the Woman's Home Missionary Society, gave an address on the work being done by that society, which was intensely interesting and enlightening. The hall was filled practically to capacity at this nae ting. The back of the stage was covered with maps and charts illustrat. ing the plans advocated and the mis- sionary fields, and d large variety of missionary literature was displayed for sale. At this and the evening meeting Miss May Smith ofhciated at the piano.
 Friday evening, i'll the Christ Church parish house the Last meeting was held and the principal speaker was MT. Walter Schutz, a Hartford lawyer, who made a strong and eloquent address from the layman's point of view, which was listened to with the closest atten- tion. MT. Eddy followed with short but bright and effective talk.
 The collections taken during the meetings were sufficient to cover all the expenses of the conference.
 Whether the various churches will adopt the simultaneous every member canvass method of financing will be determined at the meetings of the official boards to be held immediately

MOST VIOLENT EARTHQUAKES
UNKNOWN TO CIVILIZATION

Now, there are two curious points
well worth noting about earthquakes
which are not generally known.
In the first place, the more over
whelming the consequences of an
earthquake may be in h.man and
material sense TIE lnss interesting
is it usually 20 tIc se,smo'Cgical
expert; in the second rlaCe the range
of the shock is in myers, ratio to
the amount of destruction wWcl It
causes on the earth's surface.
For the scientist who has special
lied in the investigation of seismic
disturbances will tell you that the
really big earthquakes occur most
frequently, not in populous countries
like Italy and Japan, but in desolate
regions far from the familiar centers
of civilization or down in the depths
of the ocean
The fact that so many thousands
of lives have been lost in an earth
quake has less significance for the
eXpert-who is concerned with the
scientific rather than the human con
sequences Of the conyulsion-than the
effects which may have been made
on the rock formations of the earth
we inhabt.
Then the shocks which have Wis
IDLY been the most violent have been
the NJ restricted in actual range of
earth movement. Take the recent
disaster. Although the Avezzano dis
aster was telling the story on that
delicately sensitive instrument known
as the seismograph in England long
before the news of the latest earth
quake had reached the country by
cable, the writing on the tablets of
the seismograph was less pronounced
and definite in character than are
many records made by shocks Of
which you and the rest of the news.
paper reading public have never even
heard, since they cause no damage
either to life or property.
There are, you must know, such
things as earth-waves as well as
ether waves. But while the ether
waves have, by the genius of a
Marconi been harnessed into the
service of mankind, no scientist has
yet discovered any uses for earth
waves, or even any means of utilizing
them.
The shock of seismic disturbance
travels in waves at the rate Of two
miles a second In the actual vicinity
of the disturbance, and this rate rap
idly diminishes as the distance trav-
eled by the earth-wayes increases.
The deeper the originating move
ment happens to be- the farther the
shock travels; but the deeper the
movement, on the other hand, the
less extensive. and generally the less
serious, from the point of view of
loss of life. is the visible effect on
the earth's surface
Thus we have the apparent con-
tradiction that the Herefordsh!re
earthquake of 1S96-so-called because
it is believed to have originated in
that border county if not in the bow
