ABOUT EARTHQUAKES. Earthquakes increase in number toward the middle and cud of a century. Since the creation of the world 14,000,000 people have been killed by earthquakes. One reason why Charleston suffered so severely from the earthquake is because it is on a low sandy soil. There is an earthquake every day in the year somewhere, although it may be so slight as to be hardly noticeable.

Ono hundred earthquakes were recorded last year, and during some recent years 000 were recorded. In 1880, 1.200 shocks occurred in Japan. Seismic troubles are often correctly predicted days Ahead by that (Hecate instrument, the seismometer. The trouble is to tell, where the shocks will take place. It was only the low-lying portion of Lisbon which was destroyed in 1755.

"In San Francisco the buildings on tho "made lands1" near tho bay suffer more from earthquakes than thoso on tho hill portion of the city. A most astonishing, phenomenon of the Javanese earthquake was the splitting of the Papandayang mountain. In a ftWli of tune it was split into seven parts. Where the lone liiouiitain had stood loomed up so ven peaks, each 'some 7,000 feet high. Earthquakes do not result volcanoes.

Frequently volcanoes-are fonnevt earthquakes. The greatest immbcr of volcanic eruptions are in the summer, while the greatest number of earthquakes occur in the winter. The two are simply tho different effects of a common cause. Greece, Italy, Asia Minor aud Africa belong to one of tho three great earth-quake areas of tha globe. The other two aro (1) tho western coast of Ivorth America, Kamschatlca, Japan mid ISewiiea-land; (2) Arabia and Indkk, from the equator to twenty degrees north latitude, r.r The Pacific flojic has long enjoyed an undesirable pre-eminence the distinctively earthquake region of the United States, yet, according to the "records kPptnt Washington, there were 147 Earthquakes -cnitlio' Atlantic coast from 1S72 to 1S83 and only 151 during the same time on tlie Pacific coast.

Iierscbel, in a lecture on earthquakes published alxv.it ten years ago, calls attention to tuo enormous quantities of matter tliat are curried to the ocean by rivers, or aro washed from the coast, and say's that in order to counteract this earthquakes are constantly occurring in some locality. The key to the whole affair is to be found in the central heat of the earth.

His Final Capture Hailed With Delight by the Western Settlers Compliment For Gen. Miles On His Indian Cam paign History of the Great Chief. Washington, Sept 8.

General satisfaction is expressedat the war department upon the receipt of the news of Geronimo's surrender. Great praise is bestowed upon Gen. Miles for the excellent conduct of the campaign, but it is said that the results of Gen. Crook's campaign were of great value to Gen. Miles, and the latter has substantially followed the plan outlined by his predecessor.

With increased forces it has been possible to guard every water hole and effectually defeat any attempt of the hostiles to return tc their reservation. Adjt. Gen. Drum, speaking of Geronimo'ii capture, paid it was the end of a war running; with brief intermissions through twenty-five years, and Gen. Miles deserved credit for his vigorous work, dipt.

Lawton bad ako distinguished himself. "as a gallant officer, and his pursuit of the under adverse conditions and hard ships Was thoroughly eonuueuua ule. i ne general was not prepared to say what disposition would be made of the captives, but certainly, he said, nothing would be done in the matter until the president's wishes were known. The original dispatch had been promptly transmitted to the Adiror.dacks for tlie 'information, of the president, and until hs been heard from the Indians would be held in confinement at Fort Bwie, 4- T. Other officers of the department were es)ecially gratified at learning that Geronimo's surrender was unconditional.

The opinion prevails in some quarters that the Indians will be transferred to the custody of the interior department for a time, and that Geronimo and his lieutenants will ultimately be surrendered to the civil authoritiec of Arfzona and put upon trial for murder, with a result that would require little effort to guess. An officer of high rank, however, inclines to the belief that the president will never consent to surrender Geronimo to the civil authorities, but will order his trial by court martial, if it should be reported as proper to try him at all. The same officer said that the successful ending of the campaign would be of inestimable value to the territory of Arizona, as the hostiles had so ravaged and harried au area of rich country 200 miles square as to render it uninhabitable. "There has not been such a warrior as Geronimo since the days of Rob Roy," said Indian Commissioner Atkms. the roots of'therdesert and- the-ser pents of thi' mountains for ne.rly two years.

He has been his own commissary aud chief of transportation; he has worn out an army, and lias kept a vast region of country in terror. Part of the tima he has been wounded and sick. His LUrbarous heroism and endurance are unsurpassed by anything in history. "There are a good mauy points about this wonderful campaign that tha public at large are not familiar with. The revolt that has just been brought to a close by tins capture was started by a.

womaii, tlie wife of (Chief Mailgns. She is a. woman of great force of character, and strikingly intellectual for a squaw. She planned 'the escape the-band to desperate deeds; She; wits tha Joan of A ro of the Apache race. The of Geronimo from Fort Aiaehe took place on May 17, 1885.

With him he took thirty-four bucks, eight boys, and ninety-one women. They traveled 120 miles before camping, and their pursuers were bos upon their tracks, but they didn't eet insight of the India-is. For hundreds of miles this chase was kept up until Geronimo was in thy fastnesses of the mountains. Finally after a desperate campaign ho was caotured by Gen. Crook, but was only held one night, when he escaped again.

A f'iw days after this escape lie returned into the fort with four bucks, and, seizing a white woman, told her if she did not tell hini -where-his wife's tent was he would kill her. The woman pointed out the squaw's tent. Geronimo took his wile and was again at large, having accomplished one of the most daring and heroic deeds ever recorded. Now that he is captured after such a desperate chase ho will undoubtedly be hurried east with all possible haste. Gen Miles will take good care that he does not again escape.

It would Iks a reflec tion upon the general that he will take good care not to have occur if this desperado should again 'get at largo." At the Indian oiiice tlie history of this notorious Indian was fully iooked up. His name, spelled Eroneiuo, first occurs in Ajent Clums report of the San Carlos agency in 1871. Mr. Chun writes at length in that vear of the removal of the Chiricahua Apaches. In April a band of these Indians attacked Sulphur Springs station and killed two men, Messrs.

Rogers and Spence. The same band uttticked the ranches of the Rio San Pedro, killed one man, and very badly wounded another. A company of cavalry went from Fort Bowie to punish these murderers. They pursued them sixty miles and had a fight. Thev killed no Indians and returned in May.

Six of the Chiricahua Apaches were removed to Kan Carlos. The name of the Chiricahua Indians had been a terror to Arizona and Sonora for many years previous to this. Many grave? in Arizona marked tlie resting places of their victims and their raids tor paiuder and murder wore continued up to the very day ot then- removal. J. lie reason for their removal was that they could be managed better in the San Carlos agency tlmn in ihe mountain fastnesses.

At thi tini: the tribe 500 able wan'iors, well armed, brave and exiericiieed. They had defied the army, and had invariably successful in all engagements with our troops. Gen. Kautz, who was then in command of the department of Arizona, sent twelve companies of the Sixth cavalry, twe companies of Indian sc outs and a company of Indian to Apache pass. The Indian scout; had a small engagement with Chief Tiizn, win 1 the Cliricahuas, but Tnza mid his tribe, when they understood what was desired, volunteered to go to San Carlos.

About sixty Iudi.tm under Juh and Geronimo ran away into Sonora, wbero their home had formerly been. They soon tired of remaining in Mexico, however, for they received no rations there, uud came back into the United States. On Sept. 2, 1877, 30!) Hot Springs mid Chiriraluia Indians suddenly deserted San Carlos. They were pursue 1 mi thirty of captured.

Tho remainder went into New Mexico and began to kill and pillaga settlers. After long campaign hey were captured, but while being, returned to Sail Curios as usual ftbo at Ml) made their cscapa to tho mountains. A long and expensive campaign followed. The Indians were finally worn out and enma back only to oil again escape, this time to the San Matey mountains i x7 GERONIMO. THE DEPARTMENTS HAMPERED.

No Money to Make Tents for Charleston. Canvas from tlie Navy. Washingeon, Sept. 8. The department officials are disposed to render all the aid possible to the people of Charleston, but art hampered in their desires by the which confines them to narrow limits.

Secretary Fairchild said he very much regretted that he could not comply with the request made and send several exports from the architects offiC3 to Charleston to inspect and condemn private buildings, but that he was governed by the law, which prevented hini from so doing. The expert sent to inspect the government building may, however, find time from his official duties to aid the local authorities in this direction. White the war department has exhausted its supply of tents, the navy department (Commodore Harmony, acting secretary) has telegraphed the mayor of Charleston that that department could furnish a largo amount of canvas which could be converted into tents here and forwarded to Charleston. The making, however, would have to bo don? private expense, as there was no fund in the department that could be used for that purposs. It is probable that this offer will be accepted.
