ITALIAX IlVKTHOTAKi: AKKA. Throughout historic times Italy has leen visited again ary' again by earthquakes of the mos destructive kind. These disturbances have occurred now in one part of the country, now in another. Scarcely a single locality Is entirely free from them, though somo parts have suffered much less than others. Among the areas most frequently shaken are the "toe" of Italy, Calabria, and the entire Apcnnine ranue. The center of the disturbance, round the basin of the former lako Fucino, together with practically the entire region from which severe damage has been reported, is included wthin the area, roughly forty miles long by twenty miles wide, covered by the map A few towns outside this area are mentioned as having been damaxed more or less, but evidently no more than should be expected from their proximity to the seat of disturbance. The earthquake district lies in the very heart of the Apcnnine mountains fifty miles due east of Rome. For the most part it is exceedingly rough. The mountains rise to elevations of J,U0 to s.OlM) feet, while the valley bottoms lie at about 2.100 feet. Tho slopes are very steep and rocky and, in most places, the valleys are deep and narrow. A notable exception to this condition is found in the neighborhood of the basin of Lake Fucino, where the tope-graphic features are so abnormal that they arrest the attention at once. A glance at the map will show that the lake lay in the center of a nearly level plain, roughly twelve miles long by eight miles wide, sot down, as it were.

sunken area, cutting as thej' do across the trend of the mountains, seem to indicato clearly that at some earlier time a block of the mountains has dropped down to form the basin of the lake. Other evidences, too. such as the very presence of so large an undrained depression as the old lake basin, and the occurrence of similar though smaller marshy lowlands to the northwest and west, go to showthat comparatively recent movements of the earth's crust have taken place in the vicinity and have interfered seriously with drainage. It is significant that the place of origin of the recent earthquake should have been withn or Immediately around this sunken area. This coincidence, taken in. connection with the' fact that the immediate region is not volcanic. . leaves little doubt in the mind of the geologist that further earth movements of the same sort as those which produced the lake-basin were responsible for the recent earthquake.

CHARACTER MICRORES. Since he first published his theory that the microbes of a man's system had a definite, effect on character so that the tendencies of men of genius could be explained by their ailments, Dr. Robert T. Morris ha.s been besieged by letters and telegrams for a fuller explanation aTid even for the name and best manner of acquiring Eorne of the "genius microbes. Dr. Morris cites some prominent examples. Carlylc and Schopenhauer suffered from stomach trouble a very depressing disease, hence their pessimistic writings. Stevenson was a consumptive, and it is well known that the tuberculosis germ is cheering hence his spirited optimism. Now tho author-surgeon Is being asked for living prototypes of these examples not only by individuals but by newspapers and magazines as well.

WHAT TO GROW. What shall 1 grow in my vegetable garden? This the first question the amateur will ask. You may plant the early lettuce before the soil is fit to dig. The top two inches can be worked, fine with the rake long before you should dig with the spade. Rake fino a space two feet wide by four long along the garden pith, and in this put the early lettuce, from which you will get plants for transplanting later, and "snip-lettuce" for the table. Plant the seeds in shallow drills, just so that they are covered. Make the drills four inches apart, dropping the seeds half an inch apart in the drills. When all are planted, scrape the edge of a lath lightly over the top of the

f drills which will be covering enough.

and, laying a board over tho top of the ground, walk on It, moving It from place to place until the seeds are all pressed firmly into the soil. This should insure good germination. For first early lettuce, use May King, and for main crop Big Boston. Other crops which may be planted as soon as the top two Inches of soil can be worked with the rake arc radishes and beets fcr eariy use. The wise gardener who desires to grow first early vegetables digs and manures the garden in the fall, throwing it up in ridges to get the beneficial effects of the frostr. In the spring it merely requires to be raked level and it is ready for planting. For first early radishes use French Breakfast and Icicle. Sow them in drills six inches apart, with a row of later ones, such as Crimson Giants, or Long White Vinnas between. Woman's World for March.

ITU OFFICERS CALLED TO COLORS

Military Measures Wow Pending Before Italian Parliament Has Filled Rome With Rumors May Act Soon.

By Cnmillo Cianfarro. ROME. March . A sudden rn all to tho colors Sunday oi all the noncommissioned officers belonging to the four classes of the Italian army together with other military measures which are pending before parliament has filled the city with reports, according to which important developments are imminent. Messages from Berlin and Vienna indicate that the central ernp'res have given up hope of Italy retaining it neutral nosition. The statement by the Berlin Deutsche Tatres Zeitung that a critical point in the negotiations between Austria and Italy h.:s been reached, although it admits that it is not possible to predict at this time whether the rupture xvill take place Monday or next week, has caused a profound sensation here. Sunday deputies who thronged the corridors of parliament openly admitted that any further delay was not advisable as intervention by Greece would mean an Irreparable loss to Italy's sphere of influence in Asia Minor in favor of Greece. Catholic circles confirm the report that the clergy is now co-operating with the civil authorities all over the kingdom in preparing public opinion for the worst. The resignation of Premier Ycnizelos with his entire cabinet has caused a great sensation in Rome where the belief in the speedy intervention of Greece prevails. Military experts justify King Constant ine'es decision to avoid war. attributing it to fear of a Bulgarian attack and the difficulty of defending Salonica. General opinion is that the king has followed the advice of his German

wife.

The attitude o

to influence the

local political circles are anxiously watching developments. The Journal de Italia which although it is not the official government organ, represents the majority supporting the cabinet. In an editorial argues that it will be difficult for Italy longer to remain neutral, declaring that the attack by the allied fleet on
