Township Trustee Potter is the recipient of many strange requests for .help, submitted by those person who are not blessed with a great share of tha world's goods, but yesterday he received a request that, completely knocked him off his usual equilibrium and set him gasping. It was a letter, and the writer who probably thought ,the township trustee's office was a sort of a loan agency, asked Mr. Potter to advance him money, as he had to make a payment on a "place" and did not have enough money to buy

groceries for his family. Trustee Potter would not say just what actidn he would take on the matter of reimbursing the applicant for help.

New Zealand has as yet only 2,374 miles of railroad in an area of 104.000 square miles. It Is asserted by the American Mechanic that In railroad building the cross ties now cost twice as much as the rails. San Francisco street railway officials have been trying for some time to devise a wayto get the cars over the steep hills of tho city by means of electricity and have at last given the idea up and have decided to go back to the cable cars on the worst hills. The Transalaska - Siberian Railway company has been Incorporated, with a capital stock of $6,000,000, to build a railway line across Siberia and Alaska, with a tunnel under Bering strait. The length of the principal line will be 3.750 miles and the branch line 2,230 miles. Must Be Exclusive. "Why are you so crazy to meet Miss Blazzay?"

flie.fr Cmnarn, Their Frequency nd Their Two Great Belts. There is never a day on which some part of the earth is not shaken, and it is probable that not even an hour ever passes without some kind off an earthquake in some part of the earth. -The truth of this statement may be Inferred from the fact that In Japan alone 8,531 earthquakes were recorded between the years 1SS5 and 1S92. The great majority of these shocks are tremors detected only by instruments or. if noticed by man, of such slight intensity as to cause uo alarm. Many, however, ara sufficiently strong to endanger Jife and property, and there Is every gradition between the tremors which only delicate instruments detect and the earthquake which devastates a great city. Causes for jars in the earth are many and of different kinds. The falling in of the roofs of caverns has been known to cause earthquakes, and landslides have caused others. These, however, are minor causes, and the resulting shocks are of slight importance. A far

more potent cause for earthquakes Is volcanic action.

There are two great belts on the

earth in which either volcanoes are active or mountains are growing or in which the two phenomena are associated. These two belts follow great circles. One of these passes through the West Indies, the Mediterranean

sea, the Caticasus and Himalaya moun

tains and Is called by De Montessus

the Mediterranean or Alpine-Caucasus

Himalayan belt. In this belt 53 per cent of all recorded earthquakes have

occurred. The second belt nearly encircles the Pacific, following the Andes, the mountains o western North America, the Aleutian islands, Japan and the Philippines. This De Montessus calls the circum-Pacific or Andes-Japanese-Malayan belt. In this belt have oceurerd 41 per cent of all recorded earthquakes. In all the rest of the world the recorded earthquakes equal only C per cent of the total number. Those whose homes are outside the two belts of frequent earthquakes are not absolutely Immune from disturbance, as is proved by the earthquake at Charleston in 188G and at New Madrid In 1812. But in those parts of the globe earthquakes are not common. They occur in widely scattered localities at rare Intervals and are not commonly of great destructiveness. In the belts of frequent earthquakes, on the

other hand, shocks may occur in many places at frequent intervals and occasionally with great violence. San Francisco and Santiago, for example, are situated on danger lines in the earth's crust, as are many other places in the two great earthquake belts. PLAYS AND PLAYER'S."

I'm pretty apt to raise a holler. Trash it la true the cash may be. But it looks pretty good to me. They tell us it is filthy stuff. But those who tell us they despise it Are putting- up, I fear, a bluff. For in their heart of hearts they prize It They see a dollar and pursue it And like a horse leach fasten to it. The higher things we should pursue Instead of lucre vile and sordid. While this is doubtless very true. We like to see the money corded In stacks of bright and showy yellow For us, not for the other fellow. The moral lessons that we read In books for our instruction printed Are lost to us because we need The money soon as it is minted. And eke the green and useful plaster We only wish they'd print it faster. Who steals my purse steals trash, you say. It's true, but only In a measure. Unless he makes a getaway He'll think he stole somebody's'treasure. I'll cut up so that for a minute He'll think there must ba money in it

Then, second age, it loves a smell Perhaps of all the best The sawduet of the circus ringBeats Araby the Blest. Third age, it sniffs with great delight From night till dewy morn The perfume of a faded rose A certain girl has worn. Next age, it goes into the wara Where falls the battle stroke, And in its nostrils linger long The powder and the smoke. Fifth age. its happy hours are spent In speeding past the scene. While floats on the surrounding air The scent of gasoline. Sixth age, it finds a pleasure great A joy vouchsafed to few, - The faint aroma breathing forth From bank notes crisp and new.
