Cause of Em thipiake.
I'arth.pinkes are due to the p. nu
menu of plication or folding "f the
earth's upper strata. The .-.nine tension
and compression which pio. luci d maiiv
of the mountain tangos is le-re in
action. As the interior ot the earth
cols it contracts and tends to leave
th" outer eru-t behind. Th" weight of
this outer crust, however, is greater
than it etui sustain, and is then lore
compelled b wl nil; e. Thils a. h. gists
explain th-great li.lgts and furrows
which constitute continents and liver
basins, and they compare this foldinm
of the on th's crust with the xx t inkling
of the skin of a dried apple. While
(he process of wrinkling or folding is
going on the mighty movement, of
course, destroys the equilibrium of tho
rock strata, and in eoii..e,iience earth
quakes occur and continue with greater
,,r Jess violence until the eipiilibriiuu
is again restored. - Chicago Herald.

One of the cleverest inventions ever

draws the paper iu position, crimps it
into two lines, then, at a single push,
passes the pins through the paper nnd
sets them in position. Tho machine
almost seema t- think n it works, and
to examino the paper to see if it ie
properly folded before pushing tha

Everybody knows what a picnic Is,
but most folks would find It hard to
say liow It got, that name, nnd yet It
Is simple enough when you eotno to
learn IU When a picnic was bring
arranged for, the custom originally
was that thosewho Intended to be
present 6hould supply th- eatables
and drinkables. A list of those ne
cessities having been drawn up, It
was passed round, and each persou
picked out the article of food or drink
that he or she was willing tofurnlsh,
and the name of the article was
nicked, or ticked off the list. The
oren-alr entertainment thin becniuo
kuown as "pick anil nick." The cus
tom Is said to have dated from ISO.',
so that the picnic Is wholly an Insti
tution of the uliietecuth ccntun.
