1t has been calculated that there oc-
cur about $4,000 earthquakes within a
year, or $3.50 hours, hence, that there
are on the average three and one-half
earthquakes in an hour. Fortunately,
mot all earthquakes are of a violent ma
sture, 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 1755,
and those that devastated Chile, Peru
and Japan. OF great frequency are
the minor earthquakes. In fact, our
sso-called firm earth can be said to be
dn a state of perpetual agitation. Our
senses do not perceive the slight dis
Eturbances, but the seismograph, a very
delicate and ingenious apparatus de-
vfsed to keep track of them, furnishes
all the information denied to us by our
natural insensibi1ity. They often fur
nish US too much of 1t 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.

FIRST THOUGHT IS ISOLATION
Aviator Longs for Sound Of Human
Voices When He Is Soaring Far
Above the Earth.

-A4#HE@@ EE -
I became consciGsas of a feeling OF
loneliness, writes James N. Hall, In the
Atlantic. I remembered what J. B.
had said that morning. There was
something unpleasant in that isolation,
something to make one look longingfy
down to earth; TO make one wonder
whether we shall ever feel really at
home in the air. ], too, longed for the
sound OF human voices, and all that /
heard was the roar OF the motor and
the swish OF the wind through wires
and struts-sounds which have no hui
man quality In them, and are no more
companionable than the tapping Of the
waves would be to a man adrift on a
raft In midocean. Underlying this feel
ing, and, no doubt, In part responsible
for 1t, was the knowledge Of the fall
libility Of that seemingly perfect
mechanism which rode SO steadily
through the air Of the quick response
which that ingenious arrangement of
inanimate matter would make to an
eternal and memorable law, IL a few
frail wires should part ; Of the equally
quick, but less phIegnatfc response Of
another falIible mechanism, capable of
registering horror, capable, 1t is said,
of passing its past life in review In the
space OF a few seconds, and then
capable OF becoming equally inanimate
matter.

NOTHING BUT SHEER WISDOM
Possibly Aunty's Idea In Burning
Chicken Feathers Was to Destroy

The dainty and winsome heiress OF
a Kentucky planter, recently graduated
from a fashionable northern seminary,
was devoting the morning Of the first
day of her return to the old homestead
renewing acquaintance with her IA
theirs darby retaIners "down among
the quarters" AS she entered n OF
the cabins she saw old Aunt Martha,
born in slavery during the life of the
young lady's grandfather, bending over
a broad log fire, carefully burning,
piece by piece, a bunch of chicken
feathers.
"Aunt Martha" inquired the young
lady, after watching the work of the
ex-slave a few moments I'm silence,
why do you burn those feathers SO
carefully and Systematically? Is it be-
cause Of some religious idea or a su-
perstition"

Morning Exercises.

CalIsthenics taken in the early morn
ing do much to keep up the general
health. Standing, warmly but loosely
clad, at an open window and inhaling
deep breaths Of fresh air viii stimulate
the blood quickly. This might be fol-
lowed with two or three easy exercises.
One might consist Of doubling the fists,
placing them at the shoulders, and
then thrusting them out at arms length
swiftly. After that it would be well
to bend. trying to touch the floor with
the finger tips without bending the
knees. These calisthenics might be
concluded with a final one of kneeling
and bending forward the floor from
the waist. The whole performance
need not take more than five minutes,
and viii do more to make circulation
lively and muscles In good condition
than any amount Of medicine.

HAD THOUGHT FOR OTHERS
Second Traveller Decidedly More Gen.
slderate Of His Fellows Than
Was the First.

AT the information booth In q large
railroad terminal a traveller asked for
a timetable, which he looked through
until he came to the particular table
he wanted. This table he cut out with
his p~ocketknife, and then he put the
booklet with this table now gone out
OF 1t back ON the counter.
It seemed a thoughtless thing to do
because, lying there as 1t did with its
outer cover smooth, somebody might
have picked 1t up and carried 1t on
thinking, naturally enough, that It was
complete, to discover Its real condf-
ton only when 1t was too late.
But this misfortune really befelI no
one, for a moment later another trav-
eler standing near, who had e all
this done and who was perhaps more
thoughtful than the first, picked up the
torn timetable and carried It on to
drop 1t in the nearest waste paper re-
ceptacle.

ALL MADE EQUAL BY DEATH
No Democracy Ever Conceived 10 nj
All Comparable to That OF
the Tomb.

In the democracy OF the dead all men
at last are equal. There Is neither
rank o station nor prerogative In the
republic Of the grave. At this fatal
threshold the philosopher ceases to be
wise, and the song Of the poet is a.
lent Dives r~elinquishes his millions
and Lazarus his rags. The poor man
is as rich as the richest. and the rich
man is as poor as the pauper. The
creditor loses his usury and the debtor
Is acquitted of his obligation. There
the proud man surrenders his digni-
ties, the politician his honors, the
wording his pleasures; the invalid
needs no physician, and the laborer
rests from unrequited toll.
Here, at last, is natures final de-
cree in equity. The wrongs Of time
r redressed. Injustice is expiated,
the irony of fate is refuted; the un-
equal distribution of wealth, honor, en-
pacity, pleasure and opportunity which
makes life such a cruel and inexplic-
able tragedy, ceases in the realm OF
death. The strongest there has no SUI
prernaey, and the weakest needs no
defense. The mightiest captain sue
cumbs to that invincible adversary
who disarms alike the victor and the
vanQuished.-John J. Ingalls,.

Reflections.

His face would have stopped a clock.
But how can one wonder at 1t when
one learns that he was q wandering
lecturer? Anyway, no one had even
seen anything approaching the face
that he hauled into Pudd1e-in-the-CIay
one wet and muddy November night
and set up in the town hall, allowing
words-calculated to make every drink
err of anything stronger than barley
water at once reform and spend the
rest of his existence In sackcloth and
ashes-slide out of the hole in the mid
die of it.
Eyes, my dear brothers," said the
weird looking person, .for more than
forty years I have summed the glass"
"And i bloomin' well believe yer,
guv'nor," said a loud and hearty voice
from the middle of the audience. IF
I'd a face like yours ! wouldn't never
look in a pail Of water eyen."-London

BITTER FIGHTS OVER Boards
Tartars and Persians Long ia Conflict
Because They Held Varying opin-
ions on the Matter.

Before now the wearing of boards
has caused a bitter war and made the

tary.
The Greeks wore boards until the
time of Alexander, who ordered the
Macedonians TO be shaved lest their
boards should give handles to their
enemies. The ancient Romans wore
boards, but In England they were not
fashionable after the conquest until
the thirteenth century and were dis
continued at the Restoration.
Peter the Great kept a squad of Of
fcers whose duty 1t was to cut the
boards of unwilling citizens by force.
Before 1910 shaving was almost uni
versal in the United States.
There have been numerous instances
of women with long masculine boards.
Margaret Of Savoy, daughter OF Maxi
milan ], had a long stiff beard. and a
woman was seen in Paris with a black
bushy beard that reached to her waist.
At the battle of PuItowa the Russians
captured a bearded woman, whom they
presented to the ear. She had a
beard five and one-haf feet long.

The Magnetic Compass.

Experiments with magnets known to
the scientists $500 years ago, which,
developed By Doctor Gilbert and Peter
Perigrinus, led up to the present-day
admiralty compass of Kelvin, were

professor, "and every piece Of iron that

GAR WAY TO EVIL SPIRITS

Il Race OF YalUi.

In the OAK bungalow at Kwala Kubu
I'm Malayasia) the Chinaroy chowks
dar. queue in pocket, shod In shoes Of

~ last on the threshold of a strange
,~nxuedition In a land to which no letter
eyer came correctly addressed. so un-
anown was It to the outside world. At
this moment the strangest thing I'm
eieht was my breakfast. It consisted
chiefly Of tins Of tiny MOngoAanAnehes

haete-canned a dozen In a tin.
AZ I devoured the pitiful little birds,
homes and all, / looked up ut the
great Malay mountain range, the back
hone of the finger peninsula which
stretches southwark from Siam to
within sight OF the bund Of Singapore
Itself. Mountains. 50 the Malays say,
are the wall of the world, shutting out
~reat winds and beasts Of prey. And
they believe that a strange race-the
Yaju1-are forever striving to bore
through, and when they succeed, then
win 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

BETTER BLIND THAN DEAF"
Scientific Writer Points Out Why che
Former AfHIetlsn 10 Lsss Hard
20 Bear.

Scientists have shown that sound not
only informs the intellect, as does
sight. but that. much In excess Of that
sense, 1t excites feelings-that IL,
sound pure and simple has a specific
relation to feelings widely different
from that of sight.
Its primary effect Was the creating
Of moods. Margaret Baldwin writes In
the Atlantic magazine. This being so.
the simple fact is that sound has far
more to do Fundamentally with origin
ating emotions. or how we feel from
day to day, than has what we 9
It should be said In passing. that
there Is very little recognition OF this
fact by the person with normal hear
ing. Sight and sound are so inter-
woven for him that he does not dis
crimlnate as to what belongs intrinsi-
cally to each In the province OF feel
ings. It Is only when the two are
clearly separated as in deafness or
blindness, that experience takes note
Of what belongs to the one and the
other.
A scientific writer points our that we
can see with indifference the writh-
ings of a suffering animal that is still,
but that, If there are cries of pain, It
produces emotions at once. We are
distressed. In reports Of terrible ma
rine disasters, it is almost never said
by people that they can neve forget
the sights they saw, but always that
they can never forget the cries of the
drowning.
Although one would hardly hesitate
to say that the excess of the blind
mans calamity over that of the deaf
man is sufficient to overbalance this
elemental function Of sound to pro-
duee moods, yet the universal fact re-
mains that the blind are more cheerful
than the deaf.

SUFFERED FOR HIS COUNTRY
eilas Deans. First American Diplomatic
Agent Received Harsh Treatment
From Government.

SilAs Deane. the frat diplomatic
agent OF the United States, was born
at Groton, Mass. close to 200 years
ago. He became q merchant and was
q delegate to the first Continental con-
gresS. In the spring OF 177o he was
sent to France as a secret diplomatic
agent. He posed as q merchant from
Bermuda, and upon his arrival In
Paris sought an interview with Count
de Yergennes, the Minister Of Foreign
<Aaalres. who refused TO receive him.
Deane was reduced TO the dlrest pov-
erty and was elected by his landlady.
Subsequent American ambassadors
have complained OF the lack of suit
able embassies, but Deane was re-
duced to Q point where he had to &C
cept poor lodgings from a sympa-
thetac Frenehman. Eventually he was
given an audience with Vergennes and
began the diplomatic relations which
eventually resulted in the French al
lance. In 1777 Deane was recalled.
In the bitter controversy which fol-
lowed his recall Thomas Paine reveal
ed the fact that supplies furnished the
colonies had been furnished by the
French government. This was con-
sidered a diplomatic in~discretion and
1t cost Paine his place as secretary of
the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Deane. driven into poverty and exile,
died in England in 1888. Half a Gem
tury later his claim for his services
abroad was adjusted by congress and
a large sum was paid his heirs.

clever Fox Sparrow.

The fox sparrow prides himself.
doubtless, because he is bigger than
most Of his American brothers. He is
only a bit of a bird, at that, but song
sparrow, white-throat, grass finch and
q dozen or so of the others doubtless
look on their fox-coated relatives adj
ditional inch as an ell, with something
thrown in for good measure. The
iuneo. the little s~late-colored snowbird,
a sparrow after his kind also, fire.
quently accompanies the fox sparrow
on his travels. There Is a suspicion
which is hard to lose that the fox spar
row jaunts along with the juneo solely
to make his own song secure among
the acknowledged melodies, for the
iunco, while an insistent performer,
pipes an a~ttenuated tune.
