U. 8. Grant, head of the geologâ€" mf ¢ t of Northwestern uniâ€" versi Prof. Grant states that the quake ‘Saturday night ?eb. 28, is interesking but not especially signiâ€" ficant.| He‘ does not agree with an Italian| authority that it presages severe in the Japanese region or in r parts of the world where sither |because of volcanic structure or of wellâ€"known earth fissures, such or of wellâ€"known earth fissures, such as t along| the Pacific slope, td may occur at any time. 4 Difficult to Predict Mire is hardly any| satisfactory scien way of: predicting. earthâ€" quakeg save by studying the statisâ€" tics of quakes in a given region over a period of years and reaching an tical agverage, of course, this would be somewhat hatzardous from standpoint of prognosticaâ€" tion," aid Dr. Grant. "In the Missâ€" valley district there have been few ious quakes in the last cenâ€" tury. t at New Madrid, Missouri, the r of 1811â€"12 was severe and consti a series of shakes oecurâ€" ing aÂ¥ intervals throughout the winâ€" ter. rt of the town of New Madâ€" rid w$s shaken into the Mississippi river. | The next severe shake was in the ngighborhood of Charleston, So. Carolifa, August 31, 1886, which was felt Ak far away as Chical:z; 800 miles.] At Charleston! many dings were ked and there was some dloss life.

The quakes on the Pacific slope are apt to be more severe than here, as the earth formaâ€" tions there are not;so old and settled as in the Mississigpi valley. _ There, it is known, ‘,anure extends many miles almost north and south running through the Los Angeles and San Erancisco region, the line of which passes directl dctly through the present site of the; University of Cd&ornia. This was the district which was so severely shaken: April 18, 1906. There also was a bad shake in southern Alaska in 1899. , > . ‘The existence of ‘n fissue ling. in the earth meansâ€" that:there may be at any time a fault or.movement of underlying â€" rocks. Some scientists claim that the rocky formation,in the far west is stretched and that the quakes recently have been caused by these rocks returning to place instead ‘of being pushed away from place. Others believe that the pressure on a certain subterranean area becomes so great that rocks begin to slip and with their slipping there is a related extensive movement corresponding to the wave or ripple in ‘water when a stone is dropped into it. But whether one or the other cause was behind Saturday‘s slight quake in the Great Lakes states, it would not appear: to be :1 much importance.. I for one am npt worrying about early repetiâ€" tions of the Saturday quake here or at other points on the continent." PLAN DICTIONARY OF. _ __| AMERICAN LANGUAGE .

Causes of Depreciation n A house that is generally well built but has only ‘poor plumbing connecâ€" tions or werhaps poor floor construcâ€" tion or‘ a poor heating plant is to be considered:a poor house according to the Expositions, even though all the other items in the house are good. If the house is well planed and soundly built the repairs for the first ten years will be practically negligible and limited to the replacement of minor parts. The depreciation will also be very small. "The average man says ‘Depreciation is ‘a bookkeeper®‘ item :,,nd I‘don‘t have to make. any provision for it. It is not something in ‘dollars ‘and cents that I have to pay out every year.‘ If, because of a change in his work, sickness or death in his fqmily, change in the character neighborhood or a dozen other reaâ€" song,| he has to move‘} and wishes to selF his house, ‘he will find that this item of deprectiation is very decidely a doflau‘and; cents matter;. thatâ€" a house that is run down at the heels witha leaking roof, bath . tub and wash buins%:ined (with Fust from the iron plumbing, cracked ceilings, sagged. floors, creaky ‘stairs, eté., will not bring him within $500 to $1, 000 of what he hopes to get put of the house." { | ; xd ~ The Chicago Fifth| An:afl_.
