EARTHQUAKES AND TILDAL WAVES.
Professor Cleveland Abbe, who was absent
from Washington during the recent earthquake
has returned and has given to your
correspondent some interesting views as to
the event. He has made a very extensive
study of earthquakes and the theories regarding
them. His views are outlined as
follows:
WHERE THE SPASM ORIGINATED.
Professor Abbe considers the Charleston
earthquake to belong to the same category
as that which was so violent at long Branch
on August 10, 1884, and which was felt from
Maine to Virginia and westward to Ohio.
About 150 such earthquakes occurred between
1872 and 1882, and were studied in the
article Dy rroiessor Aooe puuusneu m mc
Herald on August 17, 1884. In this article
Professor Abbe concludes that these shocks
originated above the Archaiean strata and
in the lower portions of sedementary deposits?namely,
from one to five miles below
the earth's surface. He holds that
there is no reason to believe in a hot
fluid interior, but that probably the rocks
beneath this portion of the surface of the
globe are in a condition of considerable constraint
due to several causes?namely, first,
the weight of superincumbent masses; second,
the contraction due to slow cooling or
the expansion due to warming in case chemical
changes are still going on ; third, the
strain due to bending; and fourth, the strain
due to the slow process of crystalization,
such as occurs in the formation of dykes or
masses of granite, marble, &c. Under these
accumulated strains the rocky strata are
perpetually cracking, sliding on each other,
resting and again giving way. Every
"fault" met with in a mine or quarry
means a slight earthquake.
SMALL QUAKES USEFUL.
If it were not for the myriads of little
quakes we should have to do only with
greater earthquakes, which would, in fact,
be of the nature of terrible paroxysms.
When a severe earthquake happens it is
usually preceded and followed by numerous
slighter quakes, indicating that the
strata are gradually being relieved of their
strained condition, but that the main relief
is found in the main shock.
SEASONS FOR EARTHQUAKES.
The distribution of the one hundred and
fifty Analachian earthquakes shows that
numerically they are less frequent from
May to September, but that these are precisely
the months when the severer earthquakes
are likely to occur; and, again, that
a period of few earthquakes is especially
likely to be followed by one or two severe
ones that become stronger the longer the
period?of dearth that has existed.
A PROBABLE REST.
Charleston lies precisely in the region
where the earthquakes have been least
frequent for the last fifteen years. According
to the study made of the number of
earthquakes already mentioned, the whole
country is now entitled to a period of rest
at least as long as those between the earthquakes
of Boston, in.1755, of New Madrid,
1811, and the present one of 1886?namely,
from fifty-eight to seventy-five years.
TIDAL WAVES.
With regard to earthquake tidal waves,
there was from the beginning no occasion
for fear in the present instance. The waves
of 1755 in Europe and America; that of
India, in 1816; that of St. Martins, November
18, 1855; that of Callo, 1586; Arica,
August, 1868, and Concepcion, February,
1835 ; that of Japan, December 23,1854, and
that of Krakatra, July, 1883, all illustrate
the general principle that ocean waves attend
only such earthquakes as originate
under the ocean or on the immediate coast.
The ocean water must receive a nearly
if 1 V? 1_ ,
venial I shuck, iu uxuur iu sum me wave.
Shocks that originate under the continent
some distance from the ocean strike the
latter with a nearly horizontal movement,
and so far as our records shows these appear
never to produce severe earthquake ocean
waves, at least not in the neighborhood of
their origin. If any such wave attended
the Charleston earthquake it would be felt
in the Bermudas and Europe rather than on
our coast.? Washington Correspondence New
York Herald.
FROM THE SEA TO THE LAKES.
On the occasion of the recent meeting in
Columbia for the purpose of consolidating
the different lines of railroad to be known
as the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago
Railroad, Col. Blanding, of Sumter, Presi.
dent of the company, in an interview with
the correspondent of the News and Courier
said:
"There was a full representation of stock
by proxy and the stockholders confirmed
the consolidation by the directors of their
road with three other projected lines in
North Carolina. These roads are the Shelby
and Rutherfordton, the Rutherfordton and
Marion, and the Marion and Tennessee.
The consolidated roads are to be known as
the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago
Railroad, and will constitute a line from
Sumter to the Tennessee border, and will
be constructed and operated under a charter
granted by the Legislature of South
Carolina last December. The directors of
the four companies have fixed upon the
terms of consolidation and the formal agreement
of consolidation adopted by the com- .
! pany will be submitted to meetings of the
I stockholders of the other companies. These
I meetings will be held within ten days, and
| will without doubt confirm the consolida|
tion.
The directors of the consolidated comj
pany will meet in Charleston in the latter
I part of this month to arrange fur the conj
struction and the purchase of iron for the
whole road from Sumter to the Tennessee
line. Mr. Frank coxe, 01 JNortn caronna,
will bo president, and the directors will be
selected from the different companies, with
additions of Northern capitalists. The
South Carolina directors, Col. Blanding
. said, would be Theodore G. Barker, It.
; Dozier, M. C. Butler and himself.
The route would be from Sumter to Camden,
through Lancaster county, Bock Hill,
j Yorkvil. , Black's, Shelby, Rutherfordton,
i; Marion and on to the Tennessee line. At
s ; this point two companies competed for con !
nection. The one to be selected would car'
ry the road to Elizabethton or Johnston,
' on the East Tennessee and Virginia Railt
j road, thence the line would run northl
ward through Tennessee, West Virginia
and Kentucky. Other companies would
1 form organizations to unite with the line
. j and take it to Ashland or some other point
5 j on the Ohio River, where it would connect
> i with a system of roads running through
, | Indiana, and Illinois to Chicago.
i ' Col. Blanding says that his company has
. i pledges from gentlemen representing large
> j interests in these roads that they will com- j
bine with the new line for the purpose of
making a through line from the great lakes
, to Charleston. The Massachusetts and
i Southern Construction Company, which
controls the new line, has had large county
i subscriptions and is strongly placed finan1,
cially. Col. Blanding seems confident that
| his big scheme will soon be under way.
11 How Homes Are Destroyed.?Thousands
of farmers every year leave pleasant
homes in the older settled States and make
long and tedious pilgrimages to newer
States and Territories, not driven to it by
necessity, but by a chronic restlessness?an
idea that it is possible somewhere else to
get on a little faster in the world. In nine
cases out of ten the man would be really
better off to stay where he is, but he is never
satisfied Until he has made at least one or two
decided changes. Homes are destroyed in
the most ruthless manner in pursuits of this
phantom of bettering one's self-made homes
which can never really be restored to the
family, for home is something more than
the roof which shelters us. The associations
of childhood, the friends of early days, the
memories of the past, the ancestral graves
upon the hillside?are these nothing? It
will take more years than rhe most of us
can afford to give to build a new home and
get into it the feeling with which we regard
- *- - U.
our present one, De it ever su numuic.?

ROOMS]
It is to be regretted that paperings or
carpeting should ever be used in the sleeping
rooms. Alas, what evil is lurking in
the area of the four square walls which encompass
us! What enemy is that, although
trodden upon, yet is not subdued? Let
the walls of our chambers be calsomined
and the carpets removed from the floors.
Let the crevices be filled with putty and the
floor neatly painted or stained. A rug at
the bedside, with small ones at the bureau
and commode will relieve the nakedness of
the floo?\ These should be carried out
weekly, thoroughly shaken and exposed to
the sun and wind. Towels and wash cloths
used during the day should never remain
in the room at night. I have seen wash
cloths used day after day in a sleeping room,
become sour and musty, emitting a strong
Oder, both disagreeable and unhealthy. The
water can and the entire toilet set must be
kept perfectly sweet and pure. I do not
mean merely clean to the eye, but clean
enough for a chemist's use. Attention must
also be called to the tooth-brush, which
should always be thoroughly cleansed after
using, and placed, handle down, in an upright
holder. I have found odor enough
about one tooth-brush to infect the atmosphere
of a common sleeping room. In regard
to ventilation, open as many doors
and windows as permissible, avoiding a
draft; but moving air is indispensable to
the health of the sleeper. Let the bed stand
as near the centre of the room as possible,
but on no account close to the wall. No one
housekeeper may be able to carry out all
of these suggestions, but it is the ideal of
housekeeping as it ought to be, which
snouia De neia up 10 me eye 01 uie reauer,
that each one may choose what she can
best carry out in her daily practice.
The Goat.?The common or domestic
goat was originally a native of the highlands
of Asia. Naturalists generally regard
it as having descended from an animal
found in the Caucasus Mountains and the
Hill country of Persia, called in the Persian
language, the paseng. Its legs are longer
than those of the common goat, and its
horns are larger. It is not always easy to
distinguish between the species and varieties
of goats. The common goat has existed
as a domestic animal in the Oriental
countries from the very earliest times.
From there it spread all over the world,
tnanifesing a remarkable adaptability to
climate and circumstances. In this diversity
of surroundings, a great diversity of
breeds has appeared, such as the Angora
goat, the Syrian goat, the Cashmere goat,
the Guinea goat of Africa, and many others.
No quadruped, except the dog, has
shown such susceptibility of variation.
These differences show most markedly in
the quality and quantity of the hair, and in
the relative* abundance of the two coats,
the long silky outer covering and the softer
wooly hair beneath it. Goats are found
wild in mountainous counties only; they
are very sure-footed on narrow ledges or
rocks, and show great strength and ability
in leaping. They also prefer as food the
leaves and branches of shrubs and herbs
found on mountains to the herbage of the
richest pastures. Among the Greeks and
Romans the goat was sacrificed to Bacchus
because of its tendency to injure grapevines
by eating its young tendrils and leaves. The

ern countries, but when under domestication
thrives as well within a shed in the
Northern districts of Scandinavia as in the
hottest parts of Asia and Africa. All the
species of goats are natives of the Old
World. The Rocky Mountain goat, socalled,
of North America, really belongs to
the antelope family.
The Human Family.?The human family
living to-day on earth consists of about
1,450,000,000 individuals; not less; probably
more. These are distributed over the
earth's surface, so that now there is no considerable
part where man is not found. In
Asia, where he was first planted, there are
now approximately about 800,000,000, densely
crowded; on an average 120 to the square
mile. In Europe there are 320,000,000, averaging
100 to the square mile, not so crowded,
but everywhere dense, and at points
over-populated. In Africa there 210,000,000.
In America, North and South, there
are 110,000,000, relatively thinly scattered
and recent. In the islands large and small,
probably 10,000,000. The extremes of the
white and black are as five to three; the
remaining 700,000,000 intermediate brown
and tawny. Of the race 500,000,000 are well
clothed?that is, wear garments of some
kind to cover their nakedness; 700,000,000
are semi-clothed, covering inferior parts of
the body ; 250,000,000 are practically naked.
Of the race 500,000,000 live in houses partially
furnished with the appointments of
civilization; 700,000,000 in huts or caves with
no furnishing; 200,000,000 have nothing that
can be called a home, are barbarous and savI
age. The range is from the topmost round?
I the Anglo-Saxon civilzation, which is the
highest known?down to naked savagery,
The portion of the race lying below the
line of human condition is at the very least
three-fifths of the whole, or 900,000,000.
The Latest Snake Story.?A Georgia
rattlesnake got into a pantry the other daj
and found some eggs which it swallowed,
Then it crawled partly through the handle
of a jug, 'and, finding some more eggs, swallowed
them. This brought about an interesting
state of affairs, for the greedy snake
found it imposibleto get out of the jug handle,
being unable to move either backward
or forward. In its efforts to escape it made
a great rumpus, and it was soon killed b>
the awakened inmates of the house.?JS'eu
York Tribune.
I B6T Walls four feet square are being sunk
! in Stone mountain, Cia. One is four hundred
feet up the side of the mountain, and
! will be 35 feet deep. The other is 70 feel
I deep and 600 feet up the mountain. Into the
: former 12 tons of giant powder and into the
! latter two car loads will be dumped. These
will be blown up in a short time, and it is
- expected that the reports will equal the
earthquake shock. This is being done by
the granite company whoown the mountain.
Scientific cranks are now engaged in
offering advice. Twenty or more letters
have been received at the Geological Survey
office in Washington from different parts of
the country making suggestions and offering
advice with regard to the prevention of
earthquakes. One of the latest proposes
that holes be bored through Jthe earth's
crust to give the destructive gassesan outlet.

niece, sweet and fair, good and brawe; Cyril
Fenton, her lover, who saves her from the gallows,
and Dr. Hranksome, a polished villain,
The story involves more than one mystery and
a great tragedy, incidents to the old, old story,
ever fresh and new, of a true and honest love.
No serial has been printed in years that is likely
to prove as absorbing, from first to last, as this.
The following illustrations ably portray a few
of the characters and incidents :
