13 IS IN VOLCANO BELT Weight of New York's Tall Buildings May Break the Earth's Crust CENTER OF WEAKNESS Committee of Geographical Society Appointed to Make Observations in Reference to Possibility of a Catastrophe. Special to The Globe. NEW YORK, June 14.—Will it be the destiny of New York to be some day wiped out by the most gigantic cataclysm in the history of the civilized world? The idea is not an inviting one, but It is being seriously discussed by a small gioup of men connected with the Geo- WHERE THE SEA OF MOLTEN LAVA MAY SEEK VENT. ; The scientists tell us that the interior of the earth Is a surging sea of molten lava that at any moment may burst forth at any place Naturally such eruptions are most likely to occur where the earth's crust is weakest, and the above map of the eastern part of the United States and the West Indian islands shews the tract along which this weak crust is found. - ,' *~"l<1,-ea duu «-ne ™es«- lnuldn ">»<*nas * \ - \ Imp* MARTIMQUZ XVBKXHT 1 graphical society, who possess an inter national reputation as seismologists. Seismic disturbances have hitherto run along certain lines on the earth's sur face, as we learned from our primers on physical geography, and while it is pos sible for earthquakes to occur in any part of the world, owing to the operation of subterranean gaseous forces, of the word ings of which we have as jet no me*ri3 of obtaining knowledge, the lines hither to laid down are very apt to be followed. This brings New York state directly into into the seismic belt, which, begin ning in the Green mountains, sweep? southward through Baltimore, Richr-.ond, Raleigh and Charleston to the At'antiT coast, whence, beneath the ocean, it pro ceeds in a direct line through the West India islands to Martinique and St. Vin cent. It is a trite fact that volcanic dis turbances are caused by the breaking of the earth's crust, caused by the deposit of silt at the mouth of big rivers, as. for instance, occurred in thi case of the late eruption of Mont Peloe, due to the deposits brought down by the Mississippi river. The tremendous volume of mud carried down by the Mississippi Is spread over a large surface of the ocean bed. but nevertheless accumulated at certain points, due to the action of certain ocean currents, so as to overweight the crust of the sea bottom. Great Aeeamnlatlon of Silt. In the case of New York e'ty th<>re is a larger accumulation of silt from the Hudson, proportionately to area of dis charge, than Is the case with any calcu lable given point in the West Indies from the Mississippi deposits.

I Urgest Medical Institute In the Northwest. favors the possibility of a crack running in the direction of the Empire City. '7,7 The apparent safety of New York lies in the fact that the city, Itself (with some exceptional spots) is built upon rock and that the bed of the Hudson is also to a certain extent rocky. The exceptions to this rocky formation are shown In the large areas of soft mud beneath the North river on which it is now proposed to erect tunnels for the Pennsylvania system, the swamp, and cer tain districts of downtown New York, where the ground had always, before fill ing in " commenced, been considered bog gy or marshy. Similar spots of soft ooze In the bed,of the East river, shown by the work occasioned by laying the found ations of new bridges, are also considered as opportunities for some sporadic out break. ■.■..■.■- . - . • Surface Is Rocky. i But, taken as a whole, the formation of the ground upon which New York city Is built Is rocky and of such a charac ter as not to allow the escape of those pent-up gases accumulating beneath tne surface which is in an alluvial formation would find free vent and therefore obviate danger of a seismic convulsion. More im portant, however, than any- of the nat ural means for breaking the earth's crust is the building of the tremendous edifices which are being put in New York as fast •as capital can be found to erect them. Particularly in the lower part of the city is this going on at a rate which bars the possibility of computing the number of pounds pressure being placed upon the square inch of surface. It is from this piling up of stone and brick and mortar upon a soil which has the least power of resistance of any part of the earth's crust in the neighborhood of New York that seismologists fear a catastrophe some day which shall whelm this coun try' In a disaster which is too hideous to contemplate. Should the overbuilding, in conjunction with the deposits washed down by the Hudson from Albai.y, result in such a cataclysm the experts are figuring that the volcano created will appear either in the vicinity of the swamp or at some part of the low-lying eastern short of Long island, where the surface is supposel to be particularly tenuous. It will be a surprise to most people to learn that so seriously has this matter been considered by the Geographical so ciety that a committee has been forme! to make as accurate observations as are possible on the subject. A peculiarity of the rough diagnosis formed by the geographe s offhand is that Wall street will be one of the first places to be blotted out by the possible catas trophe and on account of its unsavory reputation as a nest of trusts and trade combinations detrimental to the public weal the warning letters.

BTREETIBBTORKLEBB Bellevue Place, Chicago, Ap pears to Be Devoid of Young Children NO BABIES BORN THERE People Li-ring There "With Little Ones Have Moved There From Elsewhere Queer Facts Con nected With the Street. CHICAGO, June 14—Incidental to a suit which was brought before Judge Tuley recently, in reference to the custody of a child, Dr. H. N. Lyon stated that his practice, which used to be largely among children, Is not so now, for the reason that there are very few children to be found among his city patients. Further- more, he Is said to have remarked that in fashionable Bellevue place the child residents can be numbered without using j air the fingers of one hand, and that i scarcely a baby has been born there for j the last six years. This startling state- j ment elicited considerable surprise and comment. If not, why not, was the nat ural query. What have the Believue place people done to Incur the hostility of the stork, who, statistics tell us, is lavishly generous in dally gifts to Chi cago? And then, what becomes of the children? , Doctor's "Wife Talks. With a view of solving the mystery, one bent upon investigating the matter visit ed the office of Dr. Lyon. The doctor was i not in the city, but his wife, Dr. Ella j Hancock Lyon listened to the questioner ! with a smile that was reassuring. '. .i "Yes, it is true," said Mrs. Lyon, "that there are few children on Bellevue place, and it is a long time since a baby was born there. Oh, there are a few babies who live on the street, but you will find in most cases that they have moved from somewhere else and are not natives. "The reason for this scarcity of little ones? Why, simply because in the last few years there has been a grand exodus to: the suburbs of the. people who have children or who expect ever to have any and who are not so tied by lack of means or by the exigencies of business that they are unable to leave the city. "I am myself an exemplification of the case in point. ) About three years ago my husband and I gave up o,ur home on Bellevue place and moved out to Wheat on. We did this for the sake of our chil dren. While this tendency to emigrate to the country is a fine thing for the young sters, it must be admitted it is a trifle hard on the doctors whose bread and but ter depends to a considerable extent upon their, practice among children. Just think, not even a colicky baby to break the monotony of our present day practice among adults! It is true, I am often call-' ed in consultation by some of my old pa ; tients in the country with reference to their children, but that is about all there is in the way of that kind of practice. ' :J _ Sand Files Disappear. 7" "Conditions, you / see, have changed very much during the past few years. Why, when I was a child on Bellevue place we used to go down to-, the lake and simply: revel in the sand piles, but now everything is so exceedingly clean and proper that there Are no longer any sand piles for the children to dig in. . That wall on the lake front 7 has settled all that. The poor little.tots in this day and gen eration may walk demurely down to the lake with their nurses and then turn and walk .demurely home . again with clothes quite as spotless as when they starred out. . ' r .-.>. .:;.■' "The yards on Berleyue place are small and not at all j suitable | for even f diminu-' tive sand piles, v.and ; altogether the ' life over there isn't conducive to a free and happy childhood. I remember how, some years ago, some. little boys, In the neigh borhood : used to play on our steps every I <-*&" "Kb*/ do you like these steps bettei than your own?* J asked one day. 'Be cause,' said one of the little r chaps, 'mamma has so callers that we are always in the "way on our steps.' - "The suburbs now have all the modern conveniences and transportation 7to the city and is so easily and quickly: accom plished that there is very little incon venience attendant upon living out of the city.. There are also advantages of good schooling, f and picture for yourself the bliss of the youngsters who are en abled by their country life to indulge their penchant for cafe, dogs, rabbits, gardens and all the rest that makes for the joy and freedom of a child's life. Yes, I consider this trend of J inclination for the country among the well-to-do class a very encouraging outlook. 7lt is giving back to the children their rightful heritage—the birthright "of which they have been deprived, this 1 going back to nature— I doubt not the coming gen eration will jbe better in mind and body. Of course, we are all familiar with the old proverb that most of our great men have come from the country. So that is the long and short of the reason that not only in Bellevue place, but in all similar districts, there - are comparatively few children. I recently heard the pastor of a large and fashionable church on the North side say that in the last few years very few children, have been brought to him for baptism." Few Children in ' Street. A stroll along Bellevue; place confirmed the facts stated in so far as there were very few j* children in evidence on the street. A hand organ man, evidently un aware that Bellevue place was bereft of the patter of childish feet, was evolving the choicest melodies. of his repertoire, but he looked melancholy > and forlorn, for he hadn't a single follower and there were few pennies in the little tin cup. Of course, children are not wholly extinct in this fashionable neighborhood, as there Is a private school and : kindergarten at 37 Bellevue place, which > like the world, would be a desert place'"were there no little people in it." Dr. Mary E. Hanks, of Bellevue place, has a practice largely among adults owing to the fact that children are at a premium in that locality. Several ladies were visited who reside on this charming street and were found to be childless and, not having children themselves, had fail ed to take cognizance of the lack of juvenile life in that locality.' -: "My baby is fifteen years old," said* Mrs. Chesbrough, of 17 Belleyue place, "and as I spend my winters out of the city and, In fact, am very little here I feel scarcely, capable of expressing 'an opinion upon the subject. This much, however, I can say: "There Is an apart ment building on this street which used to be nicknamed ' 'The Herod' because children were under a ban and were abso lutely prohibited from taking up their residence within its immaculate precincts. In course of time it so fell out that babies wer& born there. This was indeed a deliverance. However, as the parents of these infants were not' ordered to destroy their offspring and as there was no general massacre, the stigma resting | upon this building has been removed and I it has ceased to be called 'The Herod ' " Bellevue place is one ;of the most at tractive and fashionable residence streets on the North side. -] It Is two blocks long, extending from the lake to' North State street. Its residents are mostly people who have long resided: there and whose children have grown up: The young peo ple who have married have for the most part moved away. :. Theodore Thomas' residence is on Bellevue place and he is one of the many childless ones. ' € M. & St. P. Time Changes. Sunday.

Fresh air and exercise, two of the most important fac tors in retaining health or regaining that which has been lost, factors which exist everywhere, and some within the means of even. him who has no purse, are, as a rule, least valued. Everyone can walk, but It takes time. The money 7 value of time is looked upon as so prominent a factor in modern life^that everything that will reduce time consumed in doing a giv en thing, in sleeping, in eating, in travel ing, and in all our occupations, is consid ered a blessing. We eat and sleep at the rate of sixty miles an hour and grumble because we can't reduce the time. The old-fashioned plan of traveling by stage coach, stopping at night at the inn, and halting, at noon, at the tavern, to have a quiet dinner, is quite out of date. It is voted too slow. Perhaps we make more money than our forefathers, and there is a bare possibility that we may lose more. We may even live longer than our fathers, but it will be in a shorter time. Where our fathers lived hours we compress those hours into minutes, and are the happier the more condensed we can make things. We defy the laws of nature and expect to evade punishment. Dickens represents the traveler of the future generation as wearing a movable stomach and sending it into the restau rant to be filled while he attends to busi ness. A physician has invented a nutri tious pill, one of which is said to be equal to three ordinary meals. Going it one better, an aspirant for notoriety has in vented an elixir, which, if we believe his story, is a veritable elixir of life and does away with the necessity of any food at all. Everything: Must Be Harried. The age of mad hurry concentrates everything into this one idea of expedi tion: everything must be done in the shortest time possible, with the least work possible. Time-saving and labor saving inventions are eagerly sought for. But with all this hurry we see that peo ple appreciate the value of exercise. Hence we see all sorts of schemes and contrivances, lift cures, pocket exercisers, and so on, devised to assist nature, but all j tending to the same purpose—to do the work of an hour in a minute. True, these are better than none, but as a sub stitute for natural exercise they are fail ures, and the man Is foolish who expects that five minutes' worth of exercise with an arrangement of springs and rubber Will be of great value. The heart, the lungs, the brain and every organ of the body demand a different exercise. They demand, above all, rest, or its equivalent, change, and if deprived of these a sickly constitution or an ecrly grave will be the result. These time-saving exercises are well enough in their way; so are gymna siums, but, after all, they are a good deal like hospitals, a refuge for the sickly, but no place for the well. The most natural, the most healthy, the most at tractive and the least costly method of exercise is walking. Wall ing brings one into the fresh air, which is not present in stifled rooms or gymnasiums. Walking thoroughly exercises all the bodily or gans, stimulates to new life and elimi nates effete matter. The recreation is free to all, no matter how meager their pecuniary resources, but to be of value it must be true walking and not sauntering or loitering. . - The good walker carries his head erect, expands his chest, moves quickly so that all the energies of the body are aroused. The eye should be active as well and should note the beauties around It. 'It Is far better to walk with a companion who will take your thoughts away from yourself and - give you thoughts in return. You can exchange opinions, you can stop occasionally both to rest and enjoy the striking scenes. Above all, you should avoid the mistake of making the walk a matter of business. Much of the benefit of walking is due to the recreation combined with it. Exercise In a gymnasium loses much of its value because it is work, the Idea of work cannot be eliminated from it. But in walking the mind is occupied by the surroundings and forgets the body and work. Above all do not attempt to become a fast walker, do not try to get ahead of time or establish a record. Of course there are some people who are getting exercise all day. and if they only had fresh air with it it would be in a state of health.- Men employed in manual labor out of doors do not suffer in this regard;. the sufferers are those who have something and are seek ing to make it more, and who do not pay the proper attention to the demands of the body in seeking it. Business duties, often offered as an excuse for this neglect, are shackles forged by our own hands. We are slaves of our own desires. Walks Which Are a Luxury. If a person cannot spare the time to take a walk into the country during the evening, or still better during the early morning, he can at least walk to and from his place of work or business. Such a walk is not a hardship, but a luxury, and will keep all of the or gans in a state of healthy equilibrium. There is no pleasanter mode of spend ing a vacation of a week or two than to take a pedestrian trip. There is an utter lack of anxiety and care, and in struction may be combined with exer cise. It is better than hogsheads of medicine. It is not necessary to have an expen sive outfit, Indeed it is folly to procure . one. Old clothes come into play, es pecially old shoes. It is the height of folly to get a new pair of so-called walk ing shoes with thick soles and mac of stout leather. These by their weight and stiffness render me walk a penance instead of a pleasure, and are likely to nip the project in the bud. A pair of shoes to which your feet have become accustomed and which you have not to break in, or rather will not break you in, are the best, and it is better to wear a low quarter shoe than a congress or laced boot. Unless traveling through very rough country, leggins are a nui sance, as they heat the feet and legs, but the trousers should jbe short, and if looks are not objected to, knicker bockers are the most comfortable leg wear. J For bodily wear J woolen is the -best. The most sensible shirt is of light flan nel mario similar to the jacket of a suit of pajamas, opening in front like a Prince Albert coat, fastened with soft "frogs," and having a standing band collar close In front. Several" of these with other clothing needed, and toilet articles and conveniences, should be sent ahead by express. A light felt head with a broad brim is. the most sensible head gear. All clothing should be loose and easy. A loosely fitting blouse waist and a short flannel skirt will meet all re quirements. If a suit is to be purchas ed the best choice 'is one of the blue flannel: often called a yachting. suit. A cane should be taken, which should be stout, and have a crooked handle some what resembling a shepherd's ' crook. This renders it comfortable in . carrying, and It is available for use as a" hook. Keep a Journal or Log* Book. ": Before starting on your trip it is es sential to get a good map of the country through whic,h you Intend to pass. O.i this you can mark out your route, and In addition - make memoranda jj ■ beside those j placed:" in your note book. " The value of. the trip can be greatly increas ed by keeping a journal or log book on your trip.

A certain amount of training is not unwise. -Walking a few miles around the home country will put the legs and body in walking trim, but the first few days of the journey do not try to estab lish a distance record. A rate of three miles an hour is sufficient, and for a day or two ten or fifteen miles should be all that Is attempted. Day by day the dis tance may be increased until what at first would have been fatiguing becomes a pleasant recreation. Upon this easy start depends the success of the trip. Even after ten miles the first day it Is likely that the pedestrian may wake up in" the morning with tired limbs, but this will wear off as soon as you take to the road. The best time to travel is in the early morning as soon as it is light. The air seems fresher and the landscape more vivid and you escape the parching heat of midday. Rest during the middle of the day; say from 10 o'clock to 3 or 4 j and start late in the afternoon to finish the trip marked out for the day. To di- JAMES R. KEENE, Who Has Just Told King Edward All About the Bulls and Bears. NEW YORK. June 14.— James R. Keene, whose long an.] confidential chat about i finance with King Edward at Lady Lts- I ter-Kaye's dinner has made, all Wall ! street jealous, is one of the cleverest talkers in New York, and one of the wit- j tiest men in the street. Mr. Keene, by the way, is English born, but that is all [ vide the distance proportionately walk two-thirds of the distance in the. morn ing and the other third in the afternoon. Never travel on an empty stomach but before starting in the morning drink at least a cup of coffee or milk and eat a piece of bread; and later in the morn ing take a regular breakfast. Never eat a hearty meal directly upon reaching the place where it is served. Rest an hour or two before dinner and an hour or two after. If you get hungry on the way you can usually find a country store where I you can buy crackers and cheese and you can usually get milk at any farm house. In fact this phase of a walking tour is one of the pleasantest. The farm er and his family are usually glad to see any one from the city and to talk with him, and the most enjoyable tour is one in which all towns are avoid ed as stopping places only putting up at farm houses on the way. Many char acters are met who would make a for tune on the stage if they would only go on and act natural and a country store especially of an evening- is - better . than a music hall or variety theater. But to enjoy this part of the tour one must be a gentleman in all things. A man who goes on a tramp is very apt to leave his good manners at home with his good clothes and while he looks like a tramp he is apt to act like one. The farmer clothed for his work is not always pre possessing but he has a good heart that rings true to another good heart if you approach him right. Tell him who and what you are and. what you are doing and you will be sure of a hearty wel# come but don't put on airs if you don't want to be put out. Health-Giving: dualities. Any one who has tried this method of recreation will find that there are in conveniences which a man. of ordinary strength cannot endure and he will find the experience not only" pleasant at the time, but one that he will recall with pleasure in later years. Aside from its health-giving qualities such a tour is instructive to one who has eyes to see and ears to hear and the savoir faire. Mich depends upon the choice of a route! It is far better to strike out through a new country, avoiding beaten paths of travel. The newness of the scene and the novelty of the surroundings are much more pleasant than those near er heme. A good plan is to take the cars and go into the country, and then walk b;it-k. In this way walking trips of a day or a week or a month may be en joyed with the least annoyance and the most pleasure. The companion chosen should be one of kindred tastes and one who can take things philosophically. Nothing will de stroy the pleasure quicker than one who Is always grumbling. For that reason it is difficult to make up large parties because there will be such a variance of opiLdon and desires that the pleasure will be spelled by constant quarreling or dis agreement. . -\ There are certain common-sense pre cautions to make the trip profitable. First, there should be some object more than merely walking. If that was the only object In - view, one might as well get onto a treadmill.
