FREAKS OF SEA QUAKES
One That Stranded VI k Xennclu Hall
a Mile Inland
Sea quakes are mighty disturbances
of the waters of the ocean their cause
or causes being Identlcul with the
causes of earthquakes In Major C
E Duttous 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
be great enough to render standing on
deck as dillicult as it sometimes la
on laud 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 Vakllvia In Chile
the highest Intensity being manifest
ed In the neighborhood of Arlca 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 left 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 them Inland
as If they were mere chips of wood
Among them was the United States
steamer Waterlee 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
nil coercive measures fail
The dignity of simplicity When 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

Temperament and Food
For bilious persons a chart of life
published by Trofessor Boyd Laynard
gives emphatic warning of dangerous
rocks in the shape of sausages pork
turtle and other commodities Eels
must not be eaten by brain workers
chilly persons should cultivate a taste
for sardines while irritable people are
warned away from ginger and the
melancholy man must not touch bacon
Whitebait it is suggested is inadvis
able for persons who are of an amor
ous nature asparagus Is forbidden to
those who suffer from excitement and
languid persons are told to be careful
when they indulge In peas potatoes
arrowroot and macaroni Duck for
some mysterious reason is described as
unsuitable for the bashful the Irate

St James Gazette
Only One Wiit to Save Him
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 country 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 New York Press
