SPOONING IS OKKINKIK > Ami It Won't, lie Sanctioned. Say Pittslmrjter. "Spooning" in the public play grounds is to end it" plans of W. F Ashe, superintendent of the new cit, bureau of recreation, are pu through. Instead, dances unde proper supervision and other health ful social activities will be carriei out. ' What is understood as spoon ing." Mr. Ashe says, "is justifiable only when it is the expression of tin ? love of a man for a woman who i , to become his wife or the woman fo the man who is to become her hus ' ' band. In young boys and girls i should be discouraged. We shal have choral societies for the boy. and girls. Dancing and music wil provide the substitute for spoon ing."?Pittsburg Gazette-Times. Orijrin of Earthquakes. The intelligent investigation o earthquakes dates back only to tin middle of the nineteenth century Since the application has been sucl as to develop a new science?that o seismology. Earthquakes have oc ill Ihrftllirh tho or a vuiicu aii i,utvu-,i. v..v -0 ?, least as far as there is a record Mention is frequent in the oldest ex amples of literature. And alway the occurrence of earth disturbance has carried with it terror for hu manity and often a tremendous los in life and property. Earthquakes & contrary to a popular belief, are no H. confined to any particular type o J country. Nor are they as infrequen " as they would seem to be. Th< earth's crust is often in motion * * Earthquakes are, of course, mor violent in certain districts, but thes districts are not peculiar. They hav no distinguishing feature. Maj. C. E. Dntton says that thre theories still have believers. One i that earthquakes are caused by over throws or collapses of the ground another is that volcanoes are respon sible; the third is that the interio heat of the earth, and possibly th t * action of the tides, are responsiblt None of these theories has been en b. ' tire!y discredited. Earthquakes ap pear to be due to each of the thre causes. The volcanic theory goe back as far as Aristotle. While it i true that volcanic explosions are at companied by a trembling of th earth, it sometimes happens, say tbe Encyclopedia Britannica. tha mountains blow off their heads an | 1 * shoulders and yet cause quakes to b ' - felt only a few miles. In Italy th disturbances of Vesuvius and Aetn have been accompanied by shocks But at the same time these shock have not been really dangerous. Th Lisbon earthquake of 1755,''for e> ample, occurred at a point far rt mote from an active volcano. Eartl? quake6 have occurred n the Himz layas and Andes. These are explair ed through the assumption that bot f ~ these mountain ranges are of con paratively recent origin. Japan has been a frequent suffere from earthquaqes. Between 188 and 1S92. 8.331 shocks were recorc ed. Japan leads the nations in th , understanding of seismolOg/. Thi came from the attempt of the Japt * nese government to etpulate th western nations in scientific achievi ment. Earth phenomena claime first attention, supposedly because ( the frequency of the shocks. It i , true, however, that scentists hav never been able to solve the mvster of earthquakes. Shocks may be fe anywhere. They may be a volcani effect: they may be caused by a g gantic landslide, either on dry lan or under the sea: or they may b i caused by the folding or readjus ment of the earth's crush. This ol globe is not so old in point of,strui ture. Its crust is somewhat like human being's face?it can be writ kled into a frown or expanded int a smile. One thing is certain, th ftuisps of shocks, whatever they ma be. are never far from the earth surface. This has been demonstrate by recording the length and strengt of the waves, and by observing th physical proof that destruction is coi fined either to a central or a narro and elongated area. Earthquakt probably will continue to occur a long as physical changes are possibl to the earth. It is just so possibl for them to be felt in the high moui tains, on a wide plateau or in a cei tral valley, such as the Mississipp as it -fs along the slopes of Italy c among the foothills of California.Indianapolis News.

Notwithstanding the rigorous censorship on all press messages and y private letters and the reassuring t statements issued by the English aur thorities about the situation in - Egypt, old Italian residents of the I Egyptian capital have brought to Rome, says a correspondent, enough - data to strengthen the belief that in e the Sinai peninsular all has not gone e as England might have wished: that s the colonial troops defending the r canal have on more than one occa_ sion met with crushing reverses, and t that the situation all along the canal 1 if not critical, to say the least, is ex s tremely precarious. 1 As to the situation in the capital. . the Italians say that the city, which ! up to a month or so ago. sported an air full of confidence in the ability of the colonial troops to prevent the invasion of the country and went even 1 so far as to predict a brilliant season, 2 lives now in constant fear of some * dire calamity. 1 What is more ominous is the sul- 1 * len, hostile attitude assumed by the native population since the holy war 1 * was proclaimed. Now and then a Christian gen- i darme is found mysteriously slain s in the dark alleys of the fish market, s and it is invariably the short doubleedged dagger that splits the heart oi s the man caught unawares. Of these '' murders never a word is said, and the 1 papers are forbidden to refer to them f in the news columns. t 1 Signor Guelfo Civini, in a long dise patch to the Corriere de la Sera, which the English censor refused to pass. e relates a number of episodes with e which the English authorities never e acquainted the world. On January 17, an Anglo-Indian column, 3.000 e strong, with six mounted pieces, ads vanced as far as Bir-el-Dneidar. Here the column met a few groups ' of Bedouins, who. on being attacked, retreated. The English officers de ' cided to pursue them when all of a ' e sudden a large group of enemies ap- . peared from behind the sand dunes. The colonials fought bravely, but the number of Bedouins increased until e the whole column was surrounded. s Several brilliant charges were des livered. and finally the column suc" ceeded in opening its way for the ree treat by leaving on the field its whole s artillery. In the evening only half of the column returned to Ef Kan^ tara, whence it had started. e Three days later another English e column 3,000 strong, left Geneffe for a Kubri, a distance of some ten miles. '* the El Kantara column, and if the s colonials were not completely sure rounded, it was thanks to their courk" age and the brilliant bayonet charge of the Canadian contingent. Large groups of Bedouins well concealed be1 hio-V, Hi,n? attacked 'the lilliU 111C ii *t, 14 UUUW column from all sides, inflicting loss^ es estimated at 300 dead and 100 wounded. The public never heard of these engagements, and when several days ? later a ship bearing 500 wounded, reached Alexandria, a communique e was issued saying that they were lS convalescents who had gone to Egypt l" to recruit. e 'Bacilli or Bullets. d ^ Modern science has done much to 18 banish disease among soldiers, and e the scourges of smallpox, 1 malaria y and cholera, which in former campaigns have killed more men than 10 bullets, have lost much of their: l" menace for fighting men. There ^ still remain, however, diseases such' 'e as dysenterv, pneumonia and enteric,' - ? wnien are uneiv 10 mean um. oiuuut, ^ bodies of troops unless careful pre-j cautions are taken by the men thema i selves. l~ Dysentery is one of the most ter- j ? rible of camp diseases, and during ie the South African war. it killed f thousands, for during the campaign, s out of 22.000 casualties, bullets ac^ counted for only S.<?00 and disease i h for 14.000. ie Dysentery, which is an inflamation of the internal organs, is generally caused through impure water. 53 Soldiers at the front have been givIS en directions to boil the water they le drink, whenever possible, though, ot 'e course, there are obvious difficulties -1" in the way of providing every sol1_ dier with the necessary heating ap1* paratus. >r Pneumonia is a disease which seldom fails to attack an army fighting under severe weather conditions. ^tronpllOc AT I oieepius m i aiu-ouuu^u v v...^ on damp ground is all part of Tommy's" day's work, and it is not surl_ prising that this complaint should result from such exposure.
