This is a total of 521.000 ilves lost
by earthquakes in 175 years. 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.

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
