Freaks of an Earthquake.

An earthquake wrecked several buildings In the town of Aulton, Mexico, and then passed on to Zopothon, where it sported with the water of a big lake. At first the waters teemed In • state of great agitation and then they subsided and gradually disappeared. The earthquake had caused a fissure In the bed of the lake and through this the lake passed out of sight.
