A CURIOUS THEORY About EARTHQUAKES.
“ The cause of earth quakes, is sin " This is] the way the great preacher explained these terrifying convulsions of the earth. Just fancy the destruction of Messina and Eeggio as resulting from violation of moral law. It is more likely that a good deal of sin results from earthquakes. But •Hannah More, the great authoress, came pretty close to the truth when she said “ The cause of a deal of sin, is bile ’’! That bit of wisdom and opinion we can understand easily. Bile poisons the blood—and poisoned, impure blood poisons the bmin. The brain is the organ of the mind and senses. All the earthquakes that ever shook this wicked world have not done as much harm to human beings as ie pone every year by sleepy stomachs and lazy Hvers.
