Prepi for earthquake? and cyclone?, Will. 1>011110H I*, o. JOE PRINCE. Just ns I expected, tho democrats cf lins County ha VG made ono fool blunder already. This thing of roqulrtug a ma jority of tho vote? oast, be toro a man can be nominated by the Primary System, smelt to ino vory much Uko hum-uni at the start; and now wo will all have to acknowledge that a pnrt ia greater than tho wholOi or that 1000 votes will do for n majority although 12G0 ls not enough. If tho next D?mocratie Con vention is composed of sensible men it will do away with thin silly humbug. I have rooolvod request-' from various localities to explain more In detail my theory Of earthquakes. This itt just the thing that I did not expect to do. My j solo object was to put tho sciolists on thu right track, and then let thom work out Ibo details for themselves. I will say, however, in regard to those open inj-s in tho earth, w hich havo been 80611 tn different localities, that their expla nation is very simple. The round ones, or those approaching that form, were made by a direct explosion of electricity upwards from tho bowels of tho earth. In other w.ords, in each case il was a bolt of lightning striking up through the thin crust of the earth. 1 say Unit crust, because such openings will not bo found In any locality only whore the crust is thin and weak. Ol' course? the sand and water thrown up, or a portion of it, at least, carno from a depth as groat, and no greater, than thal of the ( point where the explosion initiated: and of course these substances at first wore hot, for lightning heats anything it touches. As to tho cracks, tho mere slinking of the earth is sufficient to ac count for them. In fact, from the vio lence of the shake, OHO Would OX poet to lind thom oven moro frequent than thov aro. 1 w ill mention only one moro circum stance: in most cases the Electricity just came OOKillg through thc crust of the earth. This lt might do oven in places \Vhero tho shake was not felt. Thus it is stated that in "Cincinnati nine ont of every toil persons imagined that they wore sick, ami many dbl not know until morning tin an earthquake had occured." If itv not Electricity then, w lint was lt? I. lt was not Electric ity it was some other subtile agent, as yet unknown to science. In other places thc earth's ? rust might bo too thick and linn to permit tin? escape of Electricity in any appreciable quantity, and yet the shako might bc very decided. .So that any amount of negative testimo ny is worth nothing, on this question. If tin? scientist want posit ive albrmati ve testimony, they can get plenty in this locality,that is unimpeachable. Tin? mero shaking of the carib wdll not ac count for tin! strange behavior of thc chickens, cows, dogs, horses and other animals, as every mao knows wdio has had any experience in thc transporta tion of live stock. I repeat, if it was not Electricity, lt was soul.? agent unknown to science. All this talk about land slides, the cooling of the earth, VolCHIlb action, dre la the merest twaddle. CROSS HILL. MACK.
