] understand that most earthquakes occur near the sea. Will you tell me how far inland any earthquakes of which there is reliable information have occurred and also how high above the sea level the highest ones have been?
 There is no limit, except the size of the continent, to the distance of the origins of earthquakes from the ocean. Earthquakes occur in the middle of Asia, and probably the strongest earth quakes On record in the United States occurred in the southeastern part of Missouri in the years 1911 and 1912.
 There is less information as to the altitude, but it is probable that earth quakes occur very high in mountain ranges. A very severe earthquake on July 6, 1912, occurred in the neighbor- hood of Mount Mckinley, Alaska, ap- parently at very high altitude. No exact figures can be given.

What is tho scientific account of Wa ter boiling at So many degrees of heat and is it true that water boils in cer- tain kinds of weather quicker than in other kinds7 9b egon nH an ~
 At what temperature water boils or the molecules will fly off from boiling liquid depends entirely on the pressure to which the liquid is subjected. The atmosphere weighs down on all earthly things with pressure that amounts to about fifteen pounds to the square inch at the level of the sea. If water is heated in the open air at the level of the sea the flying molecules must be able to overcome the pressure, other wise the water does not boil. The tenn perature at which they can fly off at sea level, that water, in other words, can boil, is PIP degrees F. On the top of high mountain, where the atmos- pheric pressure is much less because there is much less of it, the molecules will fly off much more readily than at the sea level, with the result that water will boil much below PIP degrees. If it were possible to remove the pressure of the atmosphere water could be made to boil at the temperature of an ordi- nary room without heating it.

words with a blow on the table that
caused pewter spoons to clatter in tin
cups and valiant forms to quake in
army boots. Through it all, Lieut.
jefferson Davis sat unmoved. The
announcement did not concern one
who had openly declared on various
occasions his resolve never to ask any
woman to share his life for the very
reason now stated by Col. Taylor
namely, that he would not be willing
to see one he loved suffer the hard
ships that must be endured by a SOL

thus favored propinquity the soft
wave of her brown hair would not
have been so apparent to his aesthetic

should be so highly intelligent" And
again, yielding to the infection of her
contagious laughter, he was con-
strained to admire the absolute free
dom from simpcring affection that
differentiated her from other young
women Of her years.
AS the meal progressed the engage
ing personality of the girl proved un-
eXpectedly fascinating to the avowed
celibate. The afternoon hours spent
on the piazza that encircled the
building left no counteracting impress
sions. On the contrary, admiration
increased in rapid ratio till it was
merged in helpless infatuation and in
fatuation climaxed in a delirious daze
of delight that was altogether new to
the young officer. Love needs few

Lieut. Davis looked on the white
robed girl singing to her guitar ac-

never be allowed to touch the ground
or lowered by any mechanical appli-
ance.
when the national colors are pass
ing in parade or in review spectators
should if walking, halt, and if sitting
arise and stand at attention and I'M
cover.
whenever the Star Spangled Ban
ner' is being played or sung all per
sons within hearing should arise and
stand, uncover during this rendition.
when the national, state or other
flags fly together the national flag
should be on the right.
"When the flag is down at half
staff as sign of mourning, it should
be hoisted to full staff at the conclus-
ion of the funeral.
whenever possible the flag should
be bown from staff or mast; but
should not be fastened to the side of
a building, platform or scaffolding. 1t
should not be used as a cover over
table, desk or box, and where any
thing can be set or placed upon the
flag
"In case of war, the flag should be
allowed to fly all night, otherwise
lowered at sunset"
