ALBION  0—M. A.  C. 4. 

W i th  ideal  baseball  weather,  Al 
bion  was  beaten  on  her  own  grounds 
the  above  score.  T he 
Friday  by 
work  in  fielding  was  especially  fine, 
only  one  error  being  registered  in 
the  whole  game.  Thatcher  pulled 
down  one  line  drive  and  one  fly  in 
center  field,  Ellis  took  three  in  left, 
and  all  of  the  infield  played  a  clean 
fast  game.  Akers  pitched  a  splendid 
game  and  was  supported  in  royal 
style  by  the  whole  team.  He  al 
lowed  no  bases  on  balls  and  had 
Albion  at  his  mercy  at  all  times. 
Boyle  caught  a  star  game  not  allow 
ing  a  single  stolen  base.  Albion 
had  only  one  chance  to  score  when 
third 
they  had  men  on  second  and 
with  but  one  out.  A k e rs  proceeded 
to  strike  out  Bliss  and  the  next  man 
hit  an  easy  one  which  settled 
the 
score  business.  F or  M.  A.  C.  A r m 
strong  scored  in  the  first  inning  and 
Thatcher,  Bird  and  Ellis  in  the  sec 
ond.  Aside  from 
the  pitching  of 
Latham,  Albion  was  outclassed  at 
every  stage  of  the  game.

the  mee'ings  have  been  held  two  or

management  not  only  furnished  the 
special  train  as  requested,  but  added 
a  private  car  in  which  meals  were 
served  during  the  three  days  spent 
that  road.  T he  pleasure  of 
upon 
the  trip  was  also  enhanced  by  the 
presence  of  four  of  the  leading  of 
ficials: 
J.  H.  Snyder,  assistant  gen

of  the  above  gentlemen  took  great 
interest  in  the  meetings  and  seemed 
to  be  well  pleased  with  the  results 
secured. 

It  is  hoped  that 

the  benefits  that 
will  come  to the  railroads  from  these 
meetings  will  be  such  as  will  induce 
them  to  furnish  other  trains  for  simi 
lar  work  in  the  years  to  come.  T he 
trains  having  been  furnished  with 
out  charge  by  the  railroads,  the  cost 
of  the  institutes  was  comparatively 
small  and  as  it  was  possible  to  take 
along  suitable  apparatus  for 
illus 
trated  talks,  this  as  well  as  the  nov 
elty  of  the  arrangement  added  10 the 
success  of  the  meetings.

SOMETHING ABOUT 
EARTHQUAKES. 

Every  volcanic  outburst  is  accom 
panied  by  one or  more  earthquakes  ; 
on  the  contrary  by  no  means  every 
earthquake  is due  to  volcanic  action. 
An  earthquake 
is  simply  an  earth 
jar  and  the  cause  may  be  an  explo 
sion,  a landslide,  a  volcanic  eruption 
or—and  most  commonly—the  sud 
den  slipping  of  one  rock  mass  on 
another  along  the  line  of  fracture. 
Earthquakes  of  greater  or  less  mag 
nitude  occur  daily,  almost  hourly, 
the  earth.  T h ey 
in  some  part  of 
are  the  results  very  largely  of 
the 
readjustment  of  parts  of  the  crust  of 
the  earth  made  necessary  by  the 
stresses  produced  by  the  cooling  and 
the  mass 
subsequent  shrinkage  of 
of  the  earth. 

W h a t e v er  may  be  the  constitution 
of  the  interior  of  the  earth,  whether 
largely  liquid  or  merely  plastic  or 
mainly  solid,  the  interior  certainly  is 
much  hotter  than  the  exterior  and 
both  are  slowly  cooling.  T he  more 
rapid  cooling  of 
the  exterior  has 
produced  what  we  speak  of  as  the 
crust  of  the  earth,  a  layer  of  greater 
or  less  thickness  which  is  compara 
tively  solid  and  unyielding.  As  the 
inner  mass  of  the  earth  cools  it  nat 
urally  shrinks  and 
in  the  attempt 
of  the  outer  crust  to  settle  down  and 
adapt  itself  to  this  lessening  interior 
there  is  a  tendency  for  the  crust  to 
wrinkle  or  form 
ridges  and  these 
when  sufficiently  marked  are  known 
spoken 
as  mountain  ranges,  often 
of  collectively  as  mountain  systems. 
These  mountain  systems  are  roughly 
parallel  to  the  borders  of  the  conti 
nents  and  in  most  cases  have  been 
successively 
formed,  those  nearest 
the  coast  being  the  most  recent  and 
those  nearer  the  interior  the  oldest. 

in 

W h en  the  crust  of  the  earth  is 
about  to  wrinkle  the  point  or  line  at 
which  the  bend  will  take  place  is 
always 
the 
the  weakest  point 
crust.  And 
sometimes  seemingly 
trivial  changes  in  weight  or  press 
ure  may  determine  the  point  where 
such  a  flexure  or  fold  will  begin. 
We  know 
that  continent  borders 
are  regions  of  the  earth's  crust  along 
which  the  mo»t  abrupt  changes 
in 
level  occur.  T he  sea  may  be  com 
paratively  shallow  for  a  score  or  a 
hundred  miles  from  the  shore  when 
it  suddenly  dips  downward,  some 
times 
Similarly 
the  sea  coast  may  be  bordered  by 
inland,  but 
plains  for  some  miles 
ordinarily 
rises 
abruptly  and  often 
into  mountain 
ranges.
