THIS YEAR'S EARTAQUAKES.

Pr eel

The news comes from India

that nearly every building 10
Galcutta has been injured by the
racent earthquake there, and thet
still greater damage has been
done in the villages of the .in-
* terior:
: This is not unexpected; thats,
while we did not know of an
earthquake in India, and bad no
special reason to expect one, it
was quite certain, from all pre-
cadents, that we would sooner or
later hear ofa serious earthquake
somewhere. Seismic disturbance
always occur at nearly the same
time at widely different points of
the earth. We of the United
States are apparently least subject
to them. When, therefore, 40
earthquake occurs here W° may
be quite sure of hearing in the
next few days of a far more
gsrious one in some of the great
seismic centres of the world--the
Grecian archipelago, South
America, India, oF Maiaysia.
While, therefore, no one could
predict jast where the bad news
would come from, scientists have
tor the past few weeks been
expecting to bear ol gerious
earthquakes somewhere.

This will go on record a8 aD
exrthquake year"not that there
has been so far any serious loss
of lifefrom these aisturbancer,
but they have been exceptionally
frequent aud widely distributed.
They have been severe, too, but,,
fortunately, free from lass of life
more by accident, it would seemT
than from any special cause, for
there is no way of providing
against loss and damage of these
convulsions of tne earth.

So far in the last few weeks
they haye occurred in Canada,
Mexico, Italy, Japan, in the

central part of the United States, |

and, last ot all, in India, and it 1s
believed, generally throughout
the East Indias. Our own earth-
quake, extending along the live
of the Alleghanies, with its cen-
tral pointin Southwestern Vir-
giuia, was a more serious one
than any we have had since the
shaking up and down at Charles-
ton. There was a great deal of
d smage done, but fortunately the
worst shocks were in 4s wild,
mountainous country, sparsely
settled, where there were no laige
towns to suffer damage.

Value of the Toad Frog"Dest:oys
Great Numbers of Insects.

ee aid

Saturday morning a party of
gentlemen were siliing around
trying to keep cool, when the
subject of toads came Up. Ore
man said they were valuable to
hava around, when anvther man
laughed at him, contending that
they are a pest, but the other
declared tnat they devoured an
army of things, which, left alone,
were injurions to vogeiation.
Only one or two men sided with
hin.

Running over some . current
literature, however, we find this.
Read it and see who was right:

oIt appears that Entomologist
Kirkland, of the Massachusetts
experiment station,has discovered
that the toad 18 even more val-
vable than the crow as a destroy-
er of pests. Mr. Kirkland has
given much atteation to toads,
as much as the Agricuitaral
Department bestowed on crows:
Aad he. too, has published a
book. ~He states that 77 per cont.
of the toadTs food is insects. He
says he found 1n the stomach of a
single toad fifty five army worms,
is another sixty five gypsy moth
caterpillars. He also instances
an experiment where in three
hoursT time a toad had consumed

between. thirty and thirty. five
full-grown celery worms. He
estimates from what be has

observed that in the mc nthe of
May, June, and July a toad would
devour 3,312 ants, 2,208 cut worms
1,840 myriapods, 2,208 sour bugs,
368 weevils, and 368 carabids. Of
these 9,986 are injurious insects,
and 368 are benaficial insects,
the latter being the carabids. Oo
the basis of gardeners figure ove
single toad is credited with sav-
ing approximately. $20 in that
time.�"Greensboro Record,

The manager of the poultry
division of the Experiment Sta-
tion gives in this monthTs Agri-
cultural Bulletin, the following
recipe for preyenting chicken
cholera, a disease that plays
havoo with the average farm flock
at this time of the year:

oThe first step to be taken is
to clean out the hen houses thor-
Oughly, whitewash every nook
and corner, sprinkle lime all over
the floor; put kerosene oil on the
roost-pole. Burn ail nest mate-
rial, swab out the inside of the
aest boxes with kerosene oil, then
whitewash them and put in new
material of .hay, pine straw, or
tobacco stems (the latter is best.)
When this 18 done go over all
the fowlsT at night with insect
powder, and very soon the health
of the flock will be improved. A
remedy that the Station has used

A Ternble Fight,

A wild night and a terrible
scene was that enacted at the
home of Alina Simpson on Friday
night.

lt seems that Miss Simpson,
who is a young girl employed at
the Clermont koiiting mills in
this city, arose during the night
aod wanting a drink of water,
went down stairs to get one. In
the darkness the girl accidentally
s epped upon the house cat.which
become enraged and seized the
gril by the ankle, sinking ws
teeth deep into the flesh.

The girlTs screams aroused her
mother, who ca ne to the rescue,
aad attempted to pry the cat's
mouth open su as fo release the
girl from the animelTs teeth. This
proved impossible, and it was
only after the mother had secured
a stone and beaten the cat's head
so that 1¢ was killed, that the giri
was released.

Dr. R. 5S. Primrose was sent
for and renderea all assistance
possible in the girlTs cause.

Saturday it was determined
that Miss Simpsoe ought to be
sent to the Pasteur institue, New
York, for treatment, and a purse
wus made up here to meet all
expenses,

~he girl has started for New
York city, and her case will re-
ceive the most thorough treat-
ment. .

Tne spinal cord of the cat has
been secured anil will be sent tu
New York for exa mination, to see
what was the vondition of the
animal at tLe time it attacked the
girl." ..ewbern Journal.

A CELLAR FIRE.
§ New Yorh Fireman's Graphic Account
of a Thrilling Experience,

There is an article on ~~The Risks
of a FiremanTs LifeT by Charles T.
Hill in St. Nicholas.� Mr. Bill says:
While speaking of cellar fires, let
me relate an incident that h: pened
to some companies in the down
town district at a fire of this de-
scription. It occurred in Barclay
street, in the subcellar of a crock-
ery and glass warehouse, amid the
gtraw used to pack the glassware.
It sent forth a dense, stifling emoke
I
will relate it in the rather charac-
teristic way in which it was told
me by a fireman in one of the com-
panies that were summoned to sub-
dueit. The story gives an idea of
what the firemen in the business
part of a big city may have to face
at any time.

oThe station came in one night at!
11:30. We rolled, and found the fire |
in Barclay street Mm a crockery
warehouse. Burning straw, jute
exceisior and all that sort of stuff
in the subcellar. omoke: I never
saw such smoke since ITve been an
theTbusiness. We went through tthe
building and found the fire hadn't
got above the cellar. We tried to
get the line dow the cellar stairs,
~but it was no use; no one could live
or that stairway for a minute. The
chief then divided us up, senteout a
second (a second alarm), and wo
sailed in to:drown it out; -27 en-
~gine got: the rear; 7 engine the stair-
oway, to keep it from coming up,
-and our company, 29, got the front.
We pried open the iron cellar doors
con the pavement, only to find that
the elevator «ised to carry freight
to the bottom had been 2a up to
the top. Here were four iwches of
Azeorgia pine to cut through! And,
ophew, such work in such s#aoke |

~~Well, we got through this, opened
it up and"eut itcame! No Hames,
just smoke; and with forge enough

viduality about a doll, altogether
unaccountable to other people. How
often may it be observed that a
child will neglect the splendid new
5 shilling avaxen beauty, with its
gorgeous finery, and cling faithfully
to the disreputable, noseless wreck
of rags that has been its favorite
hithertv. Something causes other
children besides HelenTs babies tu
dislike ~o~buyed dolfies,TT even to the
preference for amarticle made of an
old towel. This something, what-
ever it is, is doybtless a great com-
fort to the small girls of Mashona-
land, :

It ig an innocent, armless sort of
aftair, without any such distigure-
ment as waist or shoulders might
cause, no knee joints to get unfas-
tened, and nothing at the end of its
legs to cause expense at the shoe-
maker's, As regards dregs, it is in-
~expensive, the whole suit of apparel
consisting of a piece of string thread.
