The Oomr Oft?n TakM Swift fUvanga
Whan Struok by tha Land.
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,"

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. This Countess of
Boxburghe's long widowhood is ilksignificant

"I just think the world of Tanlac
as a general tonic and stomach remedy
and I'm glad to recommend it,"
said Miss Lilla Shelton, of No 6
Saco St, Greenville, in a statement
she gave June 1. "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.
