...bolted out the door like prairie gophers. Late escapers said that before they got out the huge crystal chandelier of the Chamber was swinging through an arc of 30 degrees. Had it dragged down the roof and fallen, Mexico's Congress might have been squashed at a single blow. Instead the Earth trembled very gently from 9 p. m. until 3½ minutes past, then settled down for the night. Though the tremors shook nine Mexican states only three deaths were reported and property damage was not great. At the famed seaport of Vera Cruz a strange streaky...

Out of control, the plane dived thousands of feet into the oxygen-laden air below, where both made a timely recovery, landed...
...This, they think, is strange, Where so many are satisfied to exchange their pennies, there must be something wrong with those who cannot find a metal worthy of their own coin. So they make a resolution for their own good and spend their money on a toy whistle to blow, just because everybody else has a whistle, and spend the rest of the time trying to think of tunes to play on the whistle...
