Prof. Thompson asserts: “Os the ma jority of eases it can be said that an intelligent man was intelligent as a child. If he did not show it in school it was the fault of his teachers. It simply meant that no lesson was so presented to him that he would take an interest in it.” CONGRESSIONAL RECORD GUILTY OF AN ERROR Today’s Copy Said Charles B.

Earthquakes Not Likely to Visit the East Again- Washington. March 4. The eastern parts of the United States and Canada are in no immediate danger of a second and more severe earthquake than the one felt in many cities on the night of February 28, is the opinion of Father Francis A. Tondorf, seismologist of -Georgetown university. In fact they are likely to go another century before a similar scare recurs. 1 When an earth movement of major • importance occurs in a region that is geologically old and well settled, Father ■ Tondorf explained, it acts as a read ; justment and relief of strain, and the : accumulation of new stresses to a point where another shock is probable is a ! very slow process. The quake of Feb -1 ruary 28 was such a mapor readjust ! ment; seismographic records indicate : that its amplitude was greater than 1 the earthquake that caused the great San Francisco fire of 1906. i Frederick Ebert Buried. ?

London, March s.—Recent examples of the surgeon’s skill on injured animals rival in 'delicacy many of the operations performed on human beings. Dogs have been fitted with sets of false teeth which remain . : u position despite the severe strain put upon* them by canine appei tites. Amputation of animals’ limbs is often necessary as a result of serious ac cidents, and it is possible to substitute artificial legs made of silver and vulcan ite ocvered with leather. Usually the little cripples occommodate themselves quickly to the use of their new limbs. A marvel of the veterinary surgeon’s art is found in a London society woman's smalh Japanese spaniel which is still alive. It lost an eye in an unfortunate encounter, but was cleverly fitted with a false glass eye which cannot now be dis tinguished from the sound one. The Davidson Wrestlers.
