wife who would separate a man from
his mother, yet I feel that. as was

Whom Earthquakes Come.

That animals are sensitive to the
approach of earthquakes Is fact fire.
Quently observed, and the more re-
cent seismic troubles in various coun-
tries give numerous examples of this
singular faculty which many animals
possess. For instance, in Japan
horses set up an unusual agitation
whenever q seismic shock Is near at
hand. In Central America dogs and
cats fee from houses, and the inhabi-
tants have become so accustomed to
this that they follow the example Of
the animals and leave their dwellings
so as to escape danger. In Italy it has
been observed that birds left their
nests and flew up to great height In
the air, but this without noise, before
the earthquake took place. However,
at the time when the earthquake
shocks were produced the birds ut
tered cries which lasted for all the
duration OF the earthquake. It is as
serted that in Sicily cocks crow and
dogs howl just before an earthquake.
