Successive commissions, accom-

have been nearly 60 shocks.
Several days ago the well-known
seismologist of Russia, Prof. Mkt

astated Armenia last May might oc
cur there at any time. He described
Leninakan, which was the center OF
the May disturbance, as in a vast

ficulty or some unfortunate predica-
ment, has several synonyms, as rub"

which are younger than the term
'scrape," and of slightly different in
depreciation. Getting into a scrape"
came from Scotland, and the express
sion is as old as the ancient and
honorable game of golf. In Scotland
a rabbits hole or burrow is called
"scrape." When players ball rolled
into one of these holes it was mani
festly impossible to play it, and the

fact by naming but a slight penalty for
