THE SAGE OF I

TILLS ABOUT EARTHQUAKES - HOW

that sometimes we ask: When!
will earthquakes cease? The
Bible says: "There shall be
famines and pestilences and
earthquakes in divers places,
but the end is not yet," Matthew
xx:14.
60, as long as internal tires 1
are able to perform their fearful i
functions of driving the purging
vortex of percolated oceans
back to the surface of the world '
to supply the indispensable re- 1
quisites of its inhabitants, the 1
old world will, of necessity, be
shaken up occasionally. But <
when the internal fires are so *
cooled down that they can no '
longer keep the waters to the j f
-surface and the last drop of the I z
ocean goes down into earth's;!
internal caverns devoid of heat, 1
and the melted ice, which we!1
call water, hardens into its J f
natural element in. the then cold i
internal regions; (and let no,'
one deny that there is room!?
enough in the 4,000 miles below J i
to contain ten times as much),11
then will earthquakes cease! j i
41And there was no more sea,"; 1
Revelations,5J1. Then will it be! 1
necessary,;n fullilling the Bible,,
? ? ~i - (ul,o r
to set ner aure aim men >
very elements with fervent heat, s
"And I saw a new heaven and a *
new earth." <
Earthquakes have already^
ceased in the moon, for the tel-' 1
escope shows the ocean cav- i
eras, water all ha ring- gone into 1
the interior of the little 2,0001 <
miie world; internal fires unable j1
to keep the water to the surface; ?
not a single cloud to be seen. i
"And there was no inoresea," J
Revelations. Rut the moon still J
has a mission, although dead.
She shines for us like some peo-;
pie's lives that shine and shine;!
after they are dead. !;
Rut suppose we look a moment!
at the behavior of water under;
the influence of heat and press-:
ure. It is well known that the
n-acenpp in n hichf1
"e"1 BU ... - |
mountain permits water to boil j
at a less beat than is sufficient to: 1
cook a piece of meat for dinner; ^
but down about the sea level i
where the pressure is about 15
pounds per square inch, it requires
212 degrees F to boil the
water; and when steam is raised
in a boiler the required heat is
more and more and the steam \
pressure is greater and greater.!
Physics says when the pressure
it the boiler is 75 pounds per;
intti the water must have 300;
decrees of heat to boil it; 100 J
pounds per inch requires 330 j
degrees of heat: 200 pounds per;
inch 380 decrees of heat, and so ;
ton. The greater tj]e pressure,the
more heat must be put in the'
water to make more steam.
And right here is the peculiar
safety provision for steam us-:
ers.
But as the water down in;
the bowels of the earth is:
always under such stupendous |
pressure, we can not conceive
of the fearful warfare forever
going- on betweeen tire and wa- j

terat the fire line below; fori
water at the bottom of the ocean :
5 miles deep is under a pressure
of over 10,000 pounds per square
inch, and down at the fire line
if it is 20 miles deep is 200,000
pounds per inch; a pressure so |
great that^gunpowder could not ,
explode under it and water, un- ,
der that pressure reqnires per- j
haps a greater heat than melted |
iron to turn it to steam, or per- ,
haps explode it in order to per- ,
form the inconceivable work of j
perpetually dri/ing the ever (
encroaching waters back again ]
to the surface. '
Its work can be seen in vol- ,
canoes and in the pulsating y
geysers oi the Yellowstone (
National park, throwing boiling g
water at intervals to the height v
jf 200 feet, from a depth of t
what??20 miles? or 50 miles?
may be. v
I had thought, Mr Editor, that J
the crust of the old world was
jetting too thick for the upjeavals
and disasters like prelistoric
times, when the effects
ire recorded in the crushed and
>roken rocks of the upheaved ^
nountains. But such is life, a c
varfare on every hand; a war- ^
are with the farmers to kill the v
rrass and the weeds; a warfare 0
a
igainst insects and diseases;
i rntral warfare; a warfare of t
deas, &c., &c. But I reckon ^
his life's warfare is to drill ^
is and make us better able to ^
ill the places assigned us in the
ife beyond.
t :_a a

>n flowery beds of ease, as they t
;ay some places in Africa
ire, where the lucky inhabitant
:an lie down beneath the bread
:ru't tree, over which hangs the c
lowering cocoa nut trees waving ?
n the breezes until the milk in f
the cocoanut is churned to but- y
Ler, which trickles down on the
bread fruit as the hot sun k
:racks the nut shells, and just ^
reach up and pluck the buttered J
fruit and lie down to eat it. I ^
say, if we were all brought up 6
? " i i 1L I
like that we wouiu noi oe worm r
the Master's notice when we
should knock at the heavenly
Sate. (
So here's to the discipline and ]
training- of the third planet in
the solar system, no matter
whether diseases or earthquakes \
carry us to our other homes.
But, if you are afraid of earth j
quakes, and rather wear out a \

BARN AND CONTENTS DESTROYED
By Fire at Lamberts?Loss $1,500
and No Insurance?A Box Party.
Lamberts, March 1:?One of the
\V C Hemingway & Co's fine
barns and stables was totally destroyed
by fire late Saturday afternoon
with all its contents. The
fire was discovered abontfive o'clock,
but bad gained such a headway that
ittempts to extinguish the flames
were futile. All their mules were
in the barnyard lot and thus escaped
without injury. The total
loss is estimated to be about $1,500.

lecond loss for this company in one
reek, one of their mules having died
be first of the week.
The box supper given at Lam>erts
school house Wednesday
light, February 24, was quite a
uccess. Braving the inclement
reather many were present and ex>ressed
themselves as having an en
