The man of the house had shown the

larna of Coming Earthquake.
Can an earthquake be "felt" ap
proachlng as a shower of rain can be
felt and a fall of snow? On the Ri
viera In 1887 the horses laid their ears
back and gave every sign of uneasi
ness. In Chile the birds have been
observed to fly Inland Just before a
convulsion. In Talcahuano In 1835 all
! the dogs fled from the city. These ac
! tions, of course, as a scientist who, has
I. collected a valuable list suggests, may
1 be mere coincidences, for birds will fly
inlund and kittens become nervous
when no earthquake' Is nigh, on the
I other hand, as the lower animals are
i singularly sensitive to any changes of
weather and to pressure of the air
they "may even be conscious cf sub
terranean movements which do not
come within human ken or are even not
detectable by the most delicate Instru
ments." ,
