Find Relation Between
Moon and Earthuuak

After studying the records Of more
than 1900 earthquakes in California
which have occurred since 1872, Pa
cific coast scientist comes to the in.
teresting conclusion that all the quake3
came when the moon was in a cers
tain quarter. The quakes occur on u
fault-line, or crack in the substructure
of the earth's crust. 1t was found
that when the fault-line ran In north
westerly direction the earthquake
would come when the moon was bel
tween the meridian and the WESTERN
horizon, or when it had not yet arisen
and was in, the directly opposite POI
sition.
When the quake occurred on a fault
line running east and west, 1t was
found that the moon would be in the
corresponding quadrants Of the sky.
Four out Of five Of the strongest,
shocks occurring in one place would
come when the moon was in the
same position 1t had been in during
the main shock. Just why this re-
lationship between the moons posi-
tion and earthquakes is so consistent
has not yet been explained.

Took Pessimistic View
of Wire Communicates

A number of prominent men of Pro-,
fessor Morse's period were dubious
about the practicability of the tele-
graph and believed 1t to have very
restricted limits. In view Of the de-
velopment of this form of communi-'
cation and its present high efficiency
1t is interesting to note some Of these
early comments. ]. Fennimore Cooper,
author of the famous Misunderstanding
Tales, wrote to Morse on January 81,
1888, as follows: "My dear friend: i
wish you all success with the tele-
graph, which might be made very use
full for long distances. Your difficulty
will be in communicating between
more than two stations, for half q,
dozen sparks travelling on the samel
wire will play the devil with the reg
isters." The Western Union today
sends as many as eight messages over
one wire at the same time by ingeni-,
Gus automatic devices.

Dutch Woman's Costume
"Colorful and Ample'i

The costumes Of rural Holland are
indeed unique. Women wear six or,
more skirts, lest the form be immod-l
estly displayed, and bright-cOlored.
waist with elbow sleeves, for strong.,
red arms are admired by men. The
climax is lace cap, the shape OF
which distinguishes the province I'M
which the wearer lives.
Wives Of rich farmers wear gold
casques, like helmets, with ornamental
gold curls. An ancient dame told us
that hers cost a hundred guilders
(about $40).
Workingmen wear exceedingly broad;
trousers, oftentimes colored vests and.
short coats. Children and the poor,
wear klompen-wooden shoes. If you,
hear what sounds like a troop Of,
cavalry passing down the street, III
will more than likely turn out to be a.
group of school children returning
home. Concealed weapons are not
needed in Holland. In case Of row,
a lad fiicks off his klomp and wallops
his adversary over the head. It has
great weight in settling an argument.

Rivers Diverted From
Beds bv Fields of Ice

1t is a long way from present-day
foods along the Mississippi river back
to the great Ice age, but happenings
Of the latter period have considerable
bearing on the trials and tribulations
OF the valley dwellers.
Before the great fields of ice worked
their way down from the north, at
least two rivers, the upper Missouri
and the Yellowstone, flowed northeast
and emptied into Hudson bay. With
the advent Of the sheets Of ice, how.
ever. these two rivers were forced to
run to the south, and their combined
waters cut the gorge now followed
by the Missouri through the Dakotas.
At the same time the Red river be-
came huge pond called glacial Lake
Agassiz, with an outlet to the Mime
sofa river valley. Part of the water.
shed of the Red river became a per.
manent source of water for a river
flowing to the south and the original
head of the Missouri river. This river
Is now known as the James river.
With the melting of the great ice
dam. the Red river resumed its normal
flow to the north, but the others con-
tinued to the south.-Exchange.

Stream in Venezuela
Explorers Call Unique

What is called the Casiquiare "can-
al" in southern Venezuela Is not a
canal at all, but natural stream
which connects two rivers which are
flowing in different directions, and it
is said to be the only river which
acts in this manner. There is said to
be very small stream in the Rocky
mountains which divides itself and
part Of its waters find it's way into the
Pacific while the remainder finally
gets to the Atlantic. Many writer's
who have had occasion to refer to the
erratic behavior Of the Casiquiare
state that it flows one way at times
and in another direction at other
times, but recent Investigations have
proven that this is not so and the wa
tiers of the Casiquiare invariably flow
In one direction from the OrinocO to
the Rio Negro, which is branch Of
the Amazon. The mouths Of these
two streams are separated by thou.
sands of miles.

Caruso's Generosity

Caruso, the great tenor, was, 1t is
stated by some Of the newspaper men
in New York, very generous. He used
to give them each year he was in that
city a sum of about $500 as dou.
ceur. A man in a position such as
lCaruso's could easily afford to do this,
ecause in New York alone he got a.
Of $2.4OO for each time he sang
q that was at least sixty times In
Aeasqn besides beins.inr;ted t0s;e
Ave to six times at Atlantic City at an
honorarium Of $4,000 time: so that
this famous singer made in one season
in America sum Of 100000 besides
$4,000 for his gramophone records.

Church Constructed to
Resemble Giant Organ

Scattered throughout the civilized
world are churches of varying degrees,
Of beauty-some small, some large and!
lofty, some with towering spires, 9TH
ers with beautiful domes, Of exquis-,
tie glass windows-but perhaps the
most unusual and original church in
existence today is to be seen in Copen-
hagen. The whole edifice Is shaped
like a gigantic organ outlined against
the sky. and at first sight is almost
overwhelming. One almost expects to
hear music coming from the pipes that
constitute the roof of this wonderful
building. so natural is the effect.
While on the subject Of Copenhagen,
another curious sight to be seen in the
city is tower that rises above the
Church of Our Savior. This remark
able tower is 2SS feet high, and Isl
built like corkscrew, round which
are steps, on the outside, leading t0I
the top! This tower was built in,
1896, and has long been special fea-
ture of the city.

Wise Parent Will Stay =

hold fast to Imagination. If they have

shut the fairy people out now. Lett
them not make growing up like travel
ing along a level road where every
thing must eventually disappear be-
hind the lorizon, but let them make
it like the ascent Of a steep hill, where
the view constantly widens as one
goes higher and nothing once seen Isl
ever again shut out. Then they will
never say to their children, you're
too young to understand" and what
is quite as important, their children
will never need to say of them,
They're too old to understand" What
is even more important, they will
never reach the deadly dull state OIL
being completely grown up, because
they will realize that If we have
wings we can never reach the place
where we cannot 60 higher.-Parents'

Looking Backward

There were some strange peoples in
prehistoric Kentucky. Scientists in
digging deep in Kentucky soil are said
to have discovered evidence Of two
distinct groups of human beings ex-
listing in different ages and at different
levels. One race buried its dead in
stone chambers whilst another had
granite affairs for human sacrifice and
burned their dead in pits of masonry.
At any rate they seem to have had
means of making fire, although they
were here 10000 years before cigar
lighters were introduced. This is a
darned sight older country than we
think and men with shovels turn up
many surprises.-Los Angeles Times.

Of their former imperial glory has ut

Short Canal-Boat History

The first canal boats were for freight
only and provided quarters merely for
the captain and crew. But the de-
mand for passenger accommodations
brought canal boats with two cabins,
one at the bow and one at the stern,
with cargo matches amidships, the
forward cabin for women and the aft
er cabin for men. Within few years
passenger traffic became so heavy
freight was carried entirely on freight
or cargo boats, while fast expresses
were operated for passengers alone.
The boats were drawn by two or three
horses, which followed a towpath
along the bank. The express boats
averaged about 4 miles an hour.

Chocolate Ancient Beverage

Chocolate was a favored drink on
this continent long before the arrival
Of the white man. 1t was extensively
used by the Aztecs and before them
the Toltecs. A Florentine who had
resided in the West Indies finally in
troduced chocolate into Italy. whence
its use gradually spread through Eu-
rope. though not without opposition.
Its introduction into Prussia was pro-
hibited by Frederick the Great. A IA
nous Paris physician, Bochot, on the
other hand, proclaimed cacao one of
the most noble of discoveries, far
more worthy to be the food of the
gods than nectar and ambrOsia, and
Linnaeus, noted Swedish botanist, who
gave cacao its scientific christening.
coined a name, "rheobroma," from
two Greek words, meaning food for
the gods" which remains its scien-
tlfic name today.

Church Bell. Gaming Stake

In the reign Of Henry VIII, writes
Salts N. Coleman in his book, "Bells,"
there stood in st. Pauls church yard
a lofty bell tower containing four
bells called "Jesus Bells" the largest
in London. In a gambling game with
one of his courtiers, Sir Miles Part
ridge, King Henry staked the bell
tower and its bells.
Sir Miles won, and had the tower
pulled down and the bells broken up.
A few years afterward this gentleman
was hanged; and some of the old writ
ers have said that it was judgment
sent upon him for gambling for bells.
