A week after the earthquake at Valparaiso the estimate was that about 1,000 were killed in the city. The property loss was estimated at one hundred million dollars. The loss of life and property in other towns was about the same as at Valparaiso. Earthquake*. Among the many strange relationships which earthquakes held to various natural phenomena there is possibly one between the times of their occurrence and of irregularities in the revolution of the world. For many 1 years it has been observed that there are slight but irregular changes in latitude, or, in other words, the axis of our earth does not always poiut in the j same direction. The pole wanders ! about In a mean position, sometimes I in n nnth that is np.iriv rironlar. while i at others it appears to be exceedingly i irregular and even retrograde. The ' world top is not spinning truly, but it j slightly wabbles. When the change in j direction of its axis is sharp large earthquakes have been frequent. If a swiftly moving body is, so to speak, compelled to turn a corner, that it should be subjected to ^strains which might result in yielding is easily conceivable. Regarded from this point of view, the times at which strata in seismic strain give way are to some extent governed by erratic movements in the rotation of our sphere. The earthquake and the wabble may, however, be due to a common cause, and the question therefore is one which requires closer examination.?John Milne in National Review. A Good Horso'* Color. A good horse cannot be a bad color, ti- irm Tf 5^ /.Anfo it id dcliu. 11 lo V.C1 LUiU IXJCll A/ti K/J winners are not drawn from certain colors. Has a gray ever won the race, or a dun or a skewbald or a piebald? Has there ever been a thoroughbred of the latter type? Quite black thoroughbreds are rare, white still more so, 1 gray uncommon even among the less exalted of public performers. The "Stud Book" would not bear out these statements where colors uncommon on the race course are described. The explanation is, of course, that the horse is there described as he appeared as a foal. An owner of a bay thoroughbred looked up the "Stud Book" to find his purchase pictured as a chestnut and complained to the men of whom he had bought the horse. The former owner assured him that the description was correct at the time it was entered. Other owners, less certain as to what color may appear when the first coat lias been cast, have before now made such singular entries as "gray, roan or chestnut."?St. James' Gazette. Tlie Porcupine's Quills. The spines are very loosely attached to the porcupine, and they are very sharp?as sharp as a needle at the outer end. At almost the slightest touch they penetrate the nose of a dog or the clothing or flesh of a person touching the porcupine and. stick there, coming away from the animal without any pull being required. The facility in catching hold with one end and letting go with tbe other has sometimes caused people to think that the spines had been thrown at them. The outer end of the spines, for some distance down, is covered with small barbs. These barbs cause a spine once imbedded in a living animal to keep working farther in with every movement of the muscles, so that it is not a pleasant thing to get stuck full of them^f/^ A Sad Picture. At Varzin once, after sitting for some time sunk in profound reflection, Bismarck lamented that he had derived but small pleasure or satisfaction from his political activity, but, on the other hand, much vexation, anxiety and trouble. He had, he said, made no one happy by it neither himself, his family nor any one else, "but probably," he continued, "many unhappy. Had it not been for me there would have been three great wars the less, the lives of 80,000 men would not have been sacrificed and many parents, brothers, sisters and widows would not now be mourners."?"Bismarck's Table Talk." Unique Ralnmaking;. One of the oldest rainmaking plants is the invention of a native of one of the Indian provinces. By means of a rocket he sends more than a mile into the air a reservoir off ether attached to a parachute. This, being released at the highest point, floats gently back to earth, the condensation being caused by the evaporation of the ether. It is said to be decidedly efficacious even where there is scarcely a trace of cloud. Cut It. "Yes," said the college student "dad got the idea that I was cutting up too much, and so he cut in and threatened to cut down my allowance unless I took a brace. I felt all cut up at first, but I didn't want my allowance cut off or cut into just for a little funny business, and so 1 cut it out." And the listening foreigner remarked, "What did the young man say ?"?SomI erville Journal. Breaking: It Genlij.

In the Sarawak Gazette Is an article on the snakes of that part of Borneo. Of the poisonous reptiles it says: "The i cobra (Naja tripudians) is a black ' snake which raises its head to strike when irritated, at the same time expanding the hood at either side of the neck. It spits at intruders and hisses like a cat, whence it Is known as "ular tedong puss;" in some parts, too, as "tedong mata harL" The word "te dong" In Sarawak is apparently applied to all large snakes which Malays consider to be poisonous, and, as our ' Malays are but ill acquainted with ' these animals, quite a number of large but harmless forms are designated by ' this term. Tlie hamadryad (Naja bungarusl is a brown snake, considerably bigger but rarer than the cobra. It is ; rather shy, but when cornered, like the cobra, it raises its head and expands the hood before striking. Its food is ehieti}* other snakes. "Less dangerous than these najas are the vipers, of which the most common species is the green viper, which reaches a length of two feet or| more. The head is large and shaped like an ace of spades. This creuturfejfifo, a tree snake and very sJuggislrcnSgQ uungarus are 01 several species, one, Bungarus fasciatus, of length to four feet being black with yellow rings. It is called the 'ular buku tebu' (sugar cane joints) by natives. There are also sea snakes of many species. The tail of a sea snake is flattened and oarlike." Sarawak has other snakes: "Of the pythons there are two species. Pytnon reticulatus grows to an enormous si2e, over twenty feet. It is very fond of pigs, but varies its diet by various animals, including even j children. The oil of this snake is used by Malays as an embrocation for bruises. The other species of python, Python curtus, is interesting in that its flesh tastes like that of fowl?at least, so Dyaks say, and they are authorities on snake flesh, for they eat a number of the large snakes."
