We are accustomed to the ruins of past glory; we know the cities of the dead-the

It is a city of he unborn, Its streets are to hum with life still hidden in the womb of time, and it is grass. grown and silent through waiting for a glory. that is still to come.

Last night, at yh. 15m. 205., a slight and almest instantaneous earthquake made itself fell. The direction of the horizontal move ment was NW. SE.
