To say that a ship in midocean might be destroyed by an earthquake seems paradoxical and absurd, yet it is true. Whenever a subterranean convulsion occurs beneath or at the edge of the sea the water will be agitated in proportion to its force. Strike a tub of water a gentle tap and see how its liquid contents shiver and ripple. Watch a railway train running at the edge of a body of water and observe how the water trembles under the con cus8ion of the wheels upon the ground. Earthquake shocks give rise sometimes to great disturbances, either by a direct jar to the water or by setting in motion waves whose rolling does damage, especially in confined harbors. Sometimes a port will be suddenly invaded by a wave, the cause of which was an earthquake, which rolls in upreared like a wall and carries death and destruction in its course. Such catastrophes are not uncommon in volcanic districts, where the ocean retorts with terrible vengeance when it is struck by the land. That appalling explosion in 1883 of Krakatoa, in the strait of Sun da, was followed on neighboring coasts by a series of vast billows that rolled inland, deluging a wide extent of shore, sweeping away over 150 villages and crushing or drowning more than 30,000 persons. Within a few years the coasts of northern Japan have been inundated repeatedly by earthquake wares with simi^ "a aft/) ikaw avA jai una wm?t?W| buu hivj mw liksly to occur? again. Nov and then earthquakes are felt even in the open tea, far from land. Thus Captain Leckj, a scientific vriter upon the sea^ tells us that in one instance where he was present the inkstand upon the captain's table was jerxed upward against the ceiling, where it left an unmistakable record of the occurrence, and yet this vessel was steaming along in smooth water, many hundreds of fathoms deep. "The concussions," he says, "were so smart that passengers were shaken off their seats, and, of course, thought that the vessel had ran ashore." All this disturbance was, nevertheless, only the result of a shock at the bottom, and when the nonelastic nature of water is considered the severity of the jar is not surprising.?"Book of the Ocean," by Ernest Ingersoll. Long Widowhood. In 1753, in the ninety-sixth year of her age, died Jean, capites* of Boxburghe. She waa not* very remarkable woman, but her memory is preserved on account of her long widowhood, which lasted seventyone years. Her father, the first Lord Tweeddale, fought at Maiston Moor in 1644.

"I took Tanlac for a generally run down condition and chronic appendicitis. I had been in bad health about two years and I suffered a great deal from indigestion. I was as nervous as I could be. I never ate anything at all hardly. In fact, I ate just like a bird?a little at a time. I suffered awfully with headache, too. "The Tanlac got me in a greatly improved condition in a short time. It made me sleep better than I had slept for two years, because it quieted my nerves. The Tanlac gave me a good appetite, too. I began to rest well at night and my whole system was built up and strengthened. The medicine certainly did make a great improvement in my condition."

GERMAN PLOT DISCOVERED. Spies Plan to Destroy Commerce os the Great Lakes. Washington, July 10?Secret investigation by government agents has disclosed the existence of a great conspiracy to destroy or hinder shipping on the Great Lakes and thereby delay the organization of American war armies and check the flow of food and munitions material from the Western States to the Atlantic coast. No conspirators have been captured and the identity of none has been made public, but it was learned today, that the State, Navy and Justice departments are cooperating to K.inrr fko i-vflFonrloro trt nnniuhmpnt and the Canadian Government will be called upon for help. This plot, engineered by Germans, assisted by sympathizing American citizens, is believed to have been responsible for the succession of "accidents" to Lake shipping, especially in the neighborhood of the Sault Ste Marie canal, which began about a month ago. The steamers Saxonia and Pentacost Mitchell were sunk at the mouth of the Soo river with the evident intention of blocking the channel. Then there was the ankiifif, ot the steamer Venetian Maid in the Detroit river, with the loss of one life, and later came an attempt to g * dynamite the steamer Mackiaat. ?^ ? i ? n rue nasaga 11 was mown op ana burned, and the Jay Dee III and the Niagara had their mrchinery wrecked, All of theee vessels had been er were able to be taken over by the Navy Department and investigation* have tended to the conclusion that what were believed to have been the cause of the accidents were the act* of the conspirators seeking to hamper the government in the prosecution of the wsr. The investigation has made it certain that some of the acts of sabotage committed upon American shipping and displacement of channel buoys and tampering with canal locks have been done by persons who found refuge when pursued behind the numerous islands in the narrow waterways on the Canadian side of the boundary.
