The greatest loss in hisiory was at Yeddo, r Japan. in 1703, when 190.000 lives t were l)sr. The next greatest was at e P'ekin. China, in 1731, when the loss %. as 95.000. The earthquake at Lis- s hon. Portugal. occurred on All Saints' Day. Nov. 1. 1755, when within eight minutes most of the houses in Lisbon wer-e destroyed and 50,000 lives were o b,-s-. though Mulhall puts the number f at :35.000. Nearly 3,000 persons who e had taken refuge on a quay on the banks of the Tagus, were engulfed e by a sa wave forty feet high. The dana.te was estimated at 20.000,000 u pou:inds sterling, or about $100,000. v 000. 'According to Humboldt the en tire surface disturbed by this earth quake was equal to four times the b area of Europe. The shock was felt ' as far as Scotland on the north, Asia t ;inor on the east, Moroco on the d south and the West Indies on thE west. The hca iest orthonake that ever occurred in the United States. until the recent one. occurred in CharIles ton, S. C.. Aug. 31. 188G. when sev (ral hundred buildings were shaken to pieces r..id three-fourths of the whole number in the city made unin habitable. Scores of people were kill ed and the loss of property amounted to ss,000,000. It will be noticed from the above table that earthquakes have been widelv distributed over the world. 4 China, .Tapan. Peru, Egypt, Portugal, Italy, the Philippines, South Ameri-. ea and he West Indies have had visi tations, and two notable disturbances have occurred in the United States. Various explanations as to the causes of earthquakes have been made by the seientists, but nobody can furnish ab-r selute knowledge on the subject. We e cnly know that they occur, that they r are exceedingly unpleasant visitors,p and we suppose that they are the re- 1 sult of internal fire or heat and gass- n es, such as belch -forth from the e earth's volcanoes at 'rregular periods. fi Millions for Relief. From the incomplete figures of the contributions which have been made it 's estimated that the San Francisco fund is rapidly nearing the total of $10,000,000 and will have passed that figure by Monday, when the United States Congress, it is announced, will odd $1,000,000 to the .$1,000.000 ap propriated from the Treasury at WasHington. In the burst of gener ouis centributiors, New Yortk City ranks next to the government itself and bids fair to far exceed the Fed eral contributions. The New York fund amounted to aprroximately $2, 000.000, with contribLdons coming in fast. The State of Massachusetts has un-t dertaken to raise $3,000,000, and with t Boston's gerterous help is well on thet way to the goal. Chicago 's fund, spontaneously sub scribed, is approaching $1,000,000 and premises to go beyond that sum. Phil- C adelphia has sent $500,000. These are but a few of the larger sums. A score or more cities are contributing $100.000 and more, while hundreds of municipalities are sending all their means will allow. From London. , Paris. Berlin and wherever Ameri cans are congregated. a generous mn flow of gold is rep)orted. Pittsburg has given $100.000; com.- t' mercial men of Cleveland. $100.000;h St. Louis. $200.000: Sacramento,r 100.00)0, and Seattle. $fl0.000. t Thrioughout the country ti:entrical h 1.erformances are being planned. the a proceeds to go to the relief fund. p In addition to this all the larger towns and cities of the South are i gving Trom their treasuries and rais- b ing enormous amounts by popular subscription. Never before have tl' whole people resp~ondedl so gen erously and so promptly to the cry of need. Due to Pent-up Energy. 1 Dr. Phillip R. Uhler. provost of the a Peabody Institute. Balimore. said. in the absence of details, the causes that ti led up to he earthquake could not be e ex~pl ained.n H~e seemed to think that on bo-th sides of the earth there is a great deal of energy pent up. and without nat- h, ural channels to car-ry it off. so vol canic erupions and earthquakes re sult. There must have been a weak stra tumn under San Francisco, Dr. Uhler o said. and it seemed to be near the coast. He thought. in all probability. the djistuirbanice was entir-ely earth quake activity and not voleanic. This condition, lhe sugrgested. might have been caused by washings from the coast a great distance below the surface and he displacement of im menserocks 11W PAN FOR HELP ian Fralcisco Would Borrow Large Sum OF Gcveir m::t I3TY BECOMING NOM AGAIN I.
