IZZI ABOUT ITALY’S EARTHQUAKES “Italy is visited by an excessive number of earthquakes and volcanv disturbances because it is the newest part of the earth’s surface,” declared onsieur Peprett, of Paris, a Frenc.h geologist of authority, in discussi ig the recent quake there. People, especially those living in the Western Hemisphere, look upon Europe and all of the Eastern Hemis phere in fact, as the “old world,” which, takn one way, is right. But in the matter of the formation of th*> earth’s crust, which geologists non agree is the result of the cooling of the great molten mass that makes our earth, it so happened that the section )ound about Italy was the last to cool, and consequently has not yet cooled to so great a depth as other portions of the world. This, then, makes Italy the newest part of the world’s surface, if our geologists are correct in their estima tion regarding the tardiness in the eoo'.ng of that particular section. The violin recital given at St. St. John’s A. M. E. Church Tuesday evening by Miss Crazia Corneal, though not well attended on acocunt of the hot weather, was certainly en joyed by those who did come out. Each number on the program was well rendered and drew repeated ap plause. Mrs. Jesse Moss accompanied her. A recitation was given by An drew Reed and a solo was sung by Miss Darlene Duuvall.
