FREAKS OF SEA QUAKES

Sen quakes are mighty disturbances
of the waters of the ocean their cause
or causes being identical with the
causes of earthquakes In Major C
E Duttons book Earthquakes the
author has some interesting facts re
garding the ocean variety of quake
From the entries in the logs of many
ships be concludes that in rare cases
the power of the sea quake shocks may

on land It may even be great enough
to cause the fear that the vessel is be
ing shaken to pieces Gigantic waves
in the ocean are of course a frequent
accompaniment of the sea quake On
the west coast of South America
where these waves are frequent they
sometimes follow a quake having its
center below the sea level that is also
felt on land But more often they
come without warning The most
memorable sea quake of this locality
occurred Aug 3 1SGS
Major Dutton describes it as fol
lows The coast of South America
was shaken all the way from Guay
aquil In Ecuador to Valdivia in Chile
the highest intensity being manifest
ed in the neighborhood of Arica The
force of the quake in this town was
very great throwing down most of the
structures and producing land slips A
few minutes later precisely how
many minutes is not known the sea
was observed to retire slowly from
the shore so that ships anchored in
seven fathoms of water were ieft high
and dry
A few minutes later still it was
seen returning in a great wall or
bore which caught up the ships in
the roadstead and swept tliem inland
as If they were mere chips of wood
Among them was the United States
steamer AVaterlee one of the improvis
ed war vessels of the blockading fleet
In the civil war which was carried in
land nearly half a mile and left with
little injury on shore by the recession
of the wave
KEEP THESE IN MIND
The power of kindness It wins when
all coercive measures fail
The dignity of simplicity vVhen the
frills are off the man is on
The wisdom of economy The man
who saves makes more than he saves
The pleasure of working The only
really unhappy rich or poor are the
idle
The influence of example Practice
does more than precept in showing the
way
The worth of character In the last
analysis the only real value is a clear
conscience
The success of perseverance Keep
ing everlastingly at it brings the
hoped for result
The value of time Lost capital may
be restored by diligent use of experi
ence Time lost is lost forever
The obligation of duty Your concern
should not so much be what you get as
what you do for what you get New

Only One Way to Save Xllm
While the religion of some men Is
intellectual said a well known New
York clergyman the religion of many
Is a thing of emotions
Back in my boyhood days I remem
ber a man in the countiy who used to
go to camp meeting After singing a
few inspiring hymns he would become
to outward appearances the happiest
and most pious man in the camp But
his emotion would always die out and
his religion wouldnt tide him over to
the next meeting
A cynical neighbor of this man
once remarked that the only way to
save his soul was to get him happy and
pious in one of the meetings and then
kill him Nsw York Press

AN OFFENDED BISHOP
The Way a Pond Mothcrn Joke on
Her Son Went Antruy
Bishop Maxwell is it uotr inquir
8d Mrs Spaulding cordially as her
guest came down to breakfast suit
case in hand I feel that I know you
through my son and I was so glad
when he arranged to have you stay
with us on your way through the city
But what does this luggage mean
Youre going to stay a day or so
No thank you Mrs Spaulding re
turned the bishop I must go right
on today
Oh Unit makes It doubly unfor
tunate that I had to be away last even
ing I hope you found my message of
explanation The friend I was called
to was very ill and I felt sure you
would understand but the fact tiiit
Mr Spaulding was out of town too
made me regret going especially I
do hope my maid took care of you
comfortably and that you rested well
I thought you must have been weary
when I came in at 10 and found you
had retired
The bishop replied politely but there
was an odd constraint in his manner
which lasted until he had bowed him
self out of the house after breakfast
What can be the matter puzzed
Mrs Spaulding as she watched Uie
distinguished gentleman stalking down
the street Dick was so anxious he
should like us
Then a sickening thought struck her
and she darted up the stairs
It had been Mrs Spauldings custom
during the boyhood of her only son to
correct his failings by posting about
the house little placards which gently
pleaded with him on the error of his
ways A week or two earlier when
Dick was coming home for a college
vacation sio had unearthed some of
these old s ns and just for a joke had
pinned them up in his room like old
times They had been taken down
later but she remembered now that
after being summoned to the sick
friend the morning before she had od
her new and not brilliant maid to
Dicks door and had said I wint
this room swept and arranged for
Maxwell exactly as we did it for
Mr Dick last week Do you under
stand
With wings on her feet Mrs Spauld
ing flew to the room the bishop had oc
cupied but at the Uireshold she paused
and gasped
On one of the pillows was a staring
notice to tnis effect Please put your
bed airing in the morning Over the
mirror Please dont spatter the glass
On the window curtain Please dont
throw your shoes on the floor noisily
Every where on pictures and wall
Please dont leave your coat on a
chair Hang it up Please dont
leave you toothbrush in the bath
room Please turn off the hot water
faucet
There were at least fifteen of these
placards the Please underlined three
or four times in each but horror of
horrors the largest of all was this on
the inside of the door If you take a
bath please wash out the tub Its dis
graceful not to Youths Companion
The American Accent
There is no such thing as the Amer
ica accent except in a few words such
as advertisement wherein America is
superior as to pronunciation and prac
tice
Nor does the American born man
talk through his nose The real dif
ference that we all notice is a differ
ence in the general pitch of voice The
American voice is pitched in a slightly
higher key than the English and here
you may find the reason why the
American assimilates French so easily
Put roughly the case is this The
Frenchman talks from his palate the
American from the top of his throat
the Englishman from his chest and the
German from his diaphragm London
Chronicle
First of the Lazy Men
During the civil war a captain of a
company which had sixty men in its
ranks none of whom was as eirgetic
as the officer thought he should be
hit upon a plan which he believed
would cure the mens habits of lazi
ness One morning after roll call the
captain addressing his command said
I have a nice easy job for the lazi
est man in the company Will the
laziest man step to the front
Instantly fifty nine men each took a
step forward
Why didnt you step to the front
Inquired the commander of the one
man who did not come
I was too lazy replied the soldier
