One of the most violent earthquakes of this century was that which de stroyed the town o f New Madrid, Mo., in toil. The first' shock occurred De eeinbcr UVand was followed by others o f constantly'increasing violence until February, The,town stood on a bluff fifteen or twenty feet above the sum' anor floods, and sunk so low, that the next rise covered it to the depth o f five feet. The most marked phenomena, Says the St. Louis Globe- Democrat, oc curred in the Mississippi river, the bed o f which rose, carrying great waves .which swamped many , boats and . drowncii the erdws. Other boats were wrecked on snags thrown up from the bottom of the river where they had lain buried for ages. The sulphurated gases discharged during the shocks tainted the air and. rendered the water of the river poisonous for many days.. In St. Louis,county fowls fell from the trees as though ;dead; crockrcy fell from shelves and was’ broken, and the inhab­ itants of the pioneer settlements loft ,their .homes5in; fear o f being crushed. For Several years the earthquake of 1811 was known as the “ great shake.” The center of its violence seemed to be nt Little Prairie, twbnty.fi ve or thirty miles below New Madrid, although the vibrations were felt all over the valley o f the Ohio and as far up os Pittsburgh. Sand bars anil projecting points of land were swallowed'up in the flood, with great cottonwood trees, which were en­ tirely submerged__________ Queen Mary's Lttpdog. Mary Queen o f Scots had a favorite lapdog, which is said to have been pres­ ent at the execution o f its poor mistress in Fothcringay castle. A fter the royal lady hud been beheaded the faithful creature refused to leave her dead body and had to be carried out o f the hall by force. A t that period lapdogs were the pets of men as well as of women. Hr. Holeyn, a relation Of the unhappy Queen Anno lioleyn, owned due “ which,” os it is written, “ ho doted on.” Anne once asked him to grant her one wish and fu return ho should have whatever he might desire. Knowing his affec­ tion for the dog, she begged it of him and o f course the doctor bad nothing to do but to give it to her. * “ And now, madam,” lie said, “ yon promised to grant my request.” “ I will,” quoth .the queen. “ Then, 1pray you, give me my dog again,” t lie ‘"Doused tile Glim." A rancher from away back on the ranger, engaged a room at the Occidental hotel in Seattle a few days ago. The hotel is lighted with electricity, and the liell-boy turned on tlie light ia the old rancher's room. The farmer didn't know how to extinguish the light, and r.fter exhausting his ideas Ubcolled the length of the wire by which the light hung and stuck the lamp in the bureau drawer, smothering it under his cloth* ing. The next day the lamp was found stowed away thcro and still burning. tfiil Logs. There is something about the cedar logs that are boW being exhumed in CapeM ay county, N. J.*and which are said to have been buried for more than two thousand years, that imparts a soft and melodious tone fo ft violin, and the logs are bamg cut up for the making o f such instruments. f Vttx* Out iif Mate, There is an old French wigmaker In Mulberry street, NeW fo rk , whodoesn’t take kindly to theways 6< modern bald- hoads, “ In former times,” he said the ether day, “ men who were bald! took groat pain? to have ft good w ig made, I.uii would pay ft heavy twice for it, Nowadays they prefer to wear*sh in­ ing pate, citch cold, have pneumonia aha die. Fashion may alter tliia state of things some day, but jft*t now the bus5ii«» is dealt ft seems to me some­ times that men actually axult in their baldoe«s.” Van Mad:! o f I t la the Cormtvuctloa o f Na­ val V eM rli, In foreign .navies several ships have Already beyn supplied with cellulose for the purpose In question. The tests have not been entirely successful. Chief Contractor Heed of the RnglisU navy, who 1ms made substances for fill­ ing cofferdams hie eppoirll study, eou- teuda tljat vvoodite, an J3ngli:,!i article, and not cellulose, is the ideal material. The only substance made in this coun­ try- which at all resembles cellulose is made from cedar bush. Cellulose, says tbe Now York Sun. la. made o f cocoanut by Torrillion & Co, atChamalicrcs, in France. It contains meal' and fiber. The- fiber has the natural color o f the "cocoanut and the streugtli of horse hair. The length varies from, eight to thirty centimeters. Tbo meal, which is the cellulose proper, Is also of the peculiar brown color of cocoanuts, and is In fine grains. The specific gravity of the fiber and the meal in looso masses is sixty-five kilogrurna per cubic meter; when compressed, one hundred and twenty-five kilograms. Cellulos* absorbs water and by Its swelling provides the safest possible obstruction. On account of its low specific gravity, less than that of cork, it Is valuable for life belts, and may be used in large quantities to keep a seri­ ously damaged ship afloat. Cellulose compressed and packed in a cofferdam of a ^hip to form a leak bell docs not emit, any unpleasant odor and does not decay for two or three years.-, When pene­ trated by o projectile it is riot ignited and does not give' off atiy disagreeable smoke, possessing, in this respect, a great advantage over rubber armor. If -dry, loose cellulose be ignited it gives out white smoke. Combustion in cel­ lulose can be controlled by compressing tbe Substance. When compressed it is difficult to ignite, and .if damp it cannot bo ignited. The fiber is loosely spread on a table' seven feet square and in a layer about two or three millimeters thick, This forms a nest f&r the- meal, which is smoothed 'off by hand to a.thiekness o f four or .five centimeters. Rectangular blocks fifteen to twenty centimeters long and ten to fifteen centimeters wide are laid off by hunt] and the compart­ ments are then packed with these blocks. Hoards -hvUli louden weights are laid on top of the blocks and a man, by his weight oh the boards, compresses the cellulose beneath. This process is repeated on every fourth or fifth layer, until the thickness of the layers is as great as desired.. WON A Little BY A HANDSPRING.

A Mr. Simonson, o f Bay City. Mich., is a legal luminary from the northern part of the state, who is a bunch of nerves done up in a small package, but there ia a perceptible admixture of dynamite in liis muke-up and lie's a for-. midablc opponent no -matter who is placed against him. lie is full ot sur­ prises and is very liable to turn the guns of an opposing lawyer against that un­ fortunate individual. > A story is told illustrative o f this ntirf is worth repeating. Simonson went be­ fore a country justice to try one side of a red-hot line fence fight; says the De­ troit Free Press. Pitted ugainst him was a big, raw-boned, broad-chested, double-fisted sprig o f the law, who was better adapted to-building fences, tlmd construing any law regarding them. He mistook noise and oratorical gymnas­ tics for wisdom and learning In the physical exertion of addressing the judge bo came out o f his coat, then dis­ pensed with his vest, later tore off his collar, threw his nccktic behind him, opened his shirt that his throat might have full play, rolled up his sleeves, pounded tbe table all over the room, per­ spired like a cupola tender in a molding room, roared himself hoarse and at last sank back In an apparent state o f total collapse. Simonson arose with all lh6 dignity that a little man can assume, threw off his coat, vest, collar, cuffs, necktie and suspenders, rolled up his pants and shirt sleeves, spat on ills bands, respectfully said: “ Your honor,” let out a war whoop, turned a bandspring and sat down, A minute's silence enabled the bucolic as­ sembly to catch on, a shout of laughter, in which the court led the chorus, made everything jingle, the big attorney sawed tbe air in * vain effort to be heard. Simonson deliberately made his toilet, and when nature had exhausted itself in laughing the jury gave Simon­ son’s client a verdict. An nut urn Shaft A New Yorker, who is a member of the American Society of Pychical Ile- search, tells a curious story that would interest his society. While in Mexico recently ho dreamed that in dressing his pistol dropped from Uis pocket, fell butt downward to the floor, turned so that it leaned against Ida ankle and ex­ ploded, shattering his leg. The dream was so vivid that lie awoke with a start and recalled the whole scene. lie was soon asleep again, however, and by morning lie bad nearly forgotten bis vision. When ho eamc to dress 1m found himself standing as in ltis dream, and n<she drew on his trousers his re­ volver f-.i1l from lira hip packet, fils-nek butt downward upon the tiled floor, struck ft sunken tilo and, turning, leaned against his ankle with the muzzle pointing directly at his leg.. lie watched with a sort o f fascination for the explosion, but it did not come and he lives unwoutHlod to toll the tftlo.
