■ “ Horses were stricken with mad­
ness and were careering furiously
beyond all control. The natives
were shrieking. Europeans, blanch
cheeked, tore from their houses,
and many of the women fainted.
•The thing I will never forget
was what followed. There was the
crunch o f ripped walls, and the
whole earth was heaving and trem­
bling very much like a ship that has
banged against a pier and taken
time to recover. Tne awful sensa­
tion was the feeling o f impotence.
“ The earthquake lasted only five
minutes, though at the time it
seemed like hours. Men could only
stand on the heaving, seasick
ground absolutely helpless, unable
to speak, but staring into each oth­
er’s white countenance waiting for
the earth to yawn. That was the
terrible thing— crowds o f folk re­
duced to mute horror, helpless,
just standing with big, wide open,
affrighted eyes, and the brain
cramped in contemplation of what
might happen next moment.” —

Tbs Great Amazon Rivar.
In South as in North America
nature does her work on the grand
scale, and one of her noblest
achievements is the Amazon river.
Rising in the Andes, it flows across
the continent and discharges into
the Atlantic ocean at the equator.
The vastness of the area which it
drains, amounting to 2,368,000
square miles, will be evident when
it is borne in mind that this is more
than the area of Russia in Europe
and Austria-Hungary. It has a
length of nearly 4,000 miles, is nav­
igable for 2,300 miles from the sea
and is fed by numerous streams,
which in any other country would
be ranked as great rivers. In the
wet season, which lasts for - about
eight months, its width varies from
five miles to 400 . No wonder the
Amazon has been called a gigantic
reservoir rather than a river.

While the late Eugene Field was
yet a struggling newspaper man he
once accepted an invitation to din­
ner from a woman famed for her
epicurean art. Among the rare
dainties served were strawberries,
which, being out of season, were ex­
ceedingly expensive.
Field passed the costly fruit.
The hostess noticed the incident
and was disappointed.
*
“ Oh, Mr. Field,” she said, “ you
don’t care fo r strawberries?”
“ No, madam. I never eat them in
midwinter.”
“ And why not?” she asked.
“ Because,” replied Field, “ they
might spoil my appetite for prunes.”
