Earthquake Statistics.

It has been calculated that there oc.
cur about 10000 earthquakes within a
year, or S76O hours, hence, that there
are on the average three and one-half
earthquakes in an hour. Fortunately,
not all earthquakes are of a violent ma
ture, like that Of A. D. 526, that killed
from 10000 to 100000 persons in the
region of the Mediterranean. or that
of 1893, to which 10000 persons fell
victims in Sicily, or of Lisbon in 1855,
and those that devastated Chile, Peru
and Japan. Of great. frequency are
the minor earthquakes. In fact, our
sO-called firm earth can be said to be
in state of perpetual agitation. Our
senses do not perceive the slight dis.
turbances, but the seismograph, very
delicate and ingenious apparatus de-
vised to keep track of them, furnishes
all the information denied to us by our
natural insensibility. They often fur
niSh us too much of it in the excess
of their zeal, recording sometimes as
seismic phenomena vibrations that
later proved to have been due to the
ringing of church bells.

ARMY OF U. S. BEST IN WORLD
Major General Gorgas Denies That
Vice Is Rampant Either Abroad
or at Home.

Chicago. June 11.-"The American
army is the best in the world physi-
cally, mentally and morally. And it
will be kept SO until the boys are re-
turned to their homes"
This was the message of Maj. Gen.
William G. Gorgas, surgeon general of
the United States army, to the homes
of America. He made most positive
denial of immortality or drunkenness
being rampant among either the Amer
lean expeditionary forces or in the
environments at home and asserted that
"There never was cleaner army on
the face of the EARTH" He is in Chi
cagO to attend the American Medical
association convention.
''The world has never seen a better
army than America is now putting into
the field and the standard is constant
ly rising. The reports that come to
me constantly show that not only is
t>le death rate decreasing as the health
conditions improve, but that social dis
eases are being rapidly curbed, if not
eliminated. and the chief obstacle we
have to contend with in that line is
with the new recruits who are in
fected." ne declared.

Privileges of the Poor.

Will you show me any other people
outside of the fairy books who can
put the most fearful calamity on like
a cloak and doff it at will, who can
augment their families to seven or
eight children overnight, and reduce
them as readily to five or six on the
following day if it but seem to them
advisable? Where outside their ranks
is there anyone capable of persuading
you that it is a privilege to sleep cold
SO that some Darius you never saw Or
care to see shall, he had his allegori-
cal mule, go better warmed? Who
else, being neither of your kith nor
kin, has such power over you that,
with mere bloodshot eye and shiver
of the shoulders, they can turn your
automobile, your furs, your warmth
and all your pleasant pleasures into
Dead sea apples of discomfort ?-Laura
Spencer Porter, in the Atlantic Maya
zine.

RUDE AWAKENING FOR GUEST
Visiting Parson Got the "Dusting"
That Irate Father Intended to
BestoW on Offspring.

A story of how a parson got the
busting instead Of q youth is related
by a newspaper man of Wenatchee,
Wash.
''The boy in the plot was Oscar
Woods" he says. ''It happened in
Nebraska. In our home it was the Gus.
tom for one of the boys to take his
turn at starting the fire on cold morn
ings. 1t was Is degrees below zero,
and it was Oscars turn. He lit the
fire and then proceeded to the barn
to feed the stock. But the fire went
out.
San hour later, perceiving that there
was no fire, father sent another call
louder. Then several more. But no
sound came. The governor started
upstairs.
without informing the head of the
house, my brother had brought home a
preacher the night before and put him
in the same bed with Oscar.
''The parson had a thrilling awaken
ing. He was yanked out of bed. He
resisted. This was too much for In
dignant dad.
"The conflict was exciting. The
preacher fought like a wildcat.
"In the cold gray dawn dad found
that he had made mistake. 1t was
tough, but the preacher survived"

Now They're MoIIycoddles.

Dandies who are making their reap

fast disappearing when Queen Victoria

Extravaganza in dress and manners
did not of course originate with them,
but in earlier times there were other
names for those who were noted for
similar eccentricities. They were called

the earlier Georges, stops" and

Bat NAY 70 EVIL SPIRITS
fialaysians Believe Mountains Were
Placed to Shut Out Strange
Race OF Yajui.

In the dak bungalow at Kwala Kubu
lin Malayasia) the Chinahoy chowki-
dar. queue in pocket. shod in shoes of
silent felt, served my breakfast. I was
at last on the threshold Of a strange
expedition in 6 land to which no letter
ever came correctly addressed, SO I'M
known was it to the outside world, At
this moment the strangest thing in
sight was my breakfast. 1t consisted
chiefly of tins of tiny Monaghan finches
--humming birds in size, squads in
taste-canned a dozen in a tin.
AS I devoured the pitiful little birds,
bones and all, / looked up at the
great Malay mountain range the back
bone Of the finger peninsula which
stretches southwark from Siam to
within sight of the bund Of Singapore
ITSELF Mountains. so the Malays say,
are the wall of the world, shutting out
great winds and beasts Of prey. And
they believe that a strange race-the
Yajuj-are forever striving to bore
through, and when they succeed, then
will come the end of all things.
The great limestone caves scattered
throughout the mountains are places
where the Yajuj have attempted and
failed. There is nothing impossible or
unbelievable in all this, when one
comes to know Malay mountains in
all their weirdness.-William Beebe, in
the Atlantic Monthly.
