SENSITIVE SEISMOGRAPHS.
I
, They Serve Other Purposes Than Recording
Earthquakes.
Contrary to popular belief, earthquakes
are by no means raio occurrences.
As a matter of f.-K't, practically
ali places on tlie surface of the earth
experience some kind o( tremor or
shake at least once an hour, and lesser
tremblings are even more frequent.
This fact has been established since
the opening throughout the world of
stations where seismographs record the
slU .lest movement of this earth of
ours.
The seismographs can l>e made to
ferve several other useful purposes
besides the recording of earthquakes.
Some of them are so delicate that a
railroad train running a mile away will
affect them.
Seismograph records have frequently
been produced in court to show that the
operation of heavy machinery produced
sufficient vibration in near by buildings
to make the owners of the factory liable
for damages.
Probably the most unusual purpose
to which the seismograph has ever
been put is that of determining the
amount of vibration in a locomotive as
a result of unbalanced driving wheels.
Engineers have devised some ingenious
methods of cutting down this vibration.
which means a greatly decreased
consumption of coal.?NewYork

TALKING FROM THE CHEST.
Not Necessary to Put a Telephone
Transmitter to the Mouth.
In case one does not care to stoop
to a telephone while talking, or does
cot "care to put the transmitter to the
mouth, he can make himself heard by
very simple means. Simply place the
abdomen or the chest against the
mouthpiece of the transmitter and talk
into the open air, and the sound will
get to the party on the other end. The
whole chest wall and the wall of the '
abdomen vibrate in unison when the
1
mouth is speaking, as they are a great
sounding board, and they will transmit
the proper sound waves to the diaphragm.
This is easy to try and astonishing
in result.
Another peculiar thing noticed in
telephones at times is phantom talk
heard in a receiver when one is waiting
for central to give connection. Odd j
fi^rnns nf conversations mav be heard '
in this manner. They are probably j
due to conversations going on overwires
lying in close proximity to the,
one that you are using?such coover- j

Few Beds In Bagdad.
About per cent of Bagdad's pop-;
atetion possess no beds. These poor j
people rest ou blankets spread on the
floors of rbeir douses in the winter j
and on the roofs in the summer. Owing j
to the exressive heat of these regions
?lM?n is iinoossible elsewhere I
than on the roof or in the ojH?n gar- j
dens. It is :in interesting sight to see;
fcow the women at sunset emerge from '
their houses to prepare bhe evening!
meal on the roof and spread the Ix.'d- j
ding for the night. Inasmuch as the,
climate is very dry, there is little to!
fear from exposure to the night air. j
While a considerable number of the J
roofs are surrounded by latticework j
to insure a certain amount of privacy,,
by far the larger number are quite ex- j
posed to the gaze of curious and in-j
<juisitive neighbors.
Scotland's Patron Saint.
Why was St. Andrew chosen as the i
patron saint of Scotland? This question
has been asked many times, but
the archdeacon of whom Dean Hole
tells may be considered to .lave discovered
the most satisfactory solution ot
the problem. "Gentlemen," said he (he !
was speaking at a St. Andrew's day ;
banquet at the time*, "1 have given!
this difficult subject my taougbtfui \
consideration, and 1 have come to the!
conclusion that St. Andrew was chosen,

BEING A DICTA fOR. i
A Case of Quick Thought and Speedy j I
Action In Latin America.
Half a dozen men in the lohhv of n ;
New York hotel were ttie j
frequency of revolutions and !
ations in Mexico and other Latin- Amer- j ?
ican countries. A short, dumpy little ; *
i Englishman, who had a cold, gray eye. j
told this:
In a countrv which we will call Du- '
| mala there was a president whom we !
will call Harera. He had made it the j
, custom, oy omcia: prociainauuu, iur
: the guard of honor, whicL consisted of
sons of prominent families of his coun- m
j try, to present arms whenever he ||
emerged from the presidential palace. ?j
While the men and officers presented |
arras, the standard bearer raised the ^
: great flag and exclaimed: /
i "Viva Harera!" I
People who wanted Harera put out : ^
of business bribed the standard bearer ! ?
; acd six members of the guard of Donor 1 o
i to assassinate him. The plan was that, j
when he came out of the palace the
standard bearer was to hold up the
i flag, shout "Viva Dumala!" and throw
i cc
! the heavy banner over the president- ,
j While he was knocked down and blind- s.
| ed by the folds of the flag, the six
' traitors were to shoot at him.

W
out The standard bearer, holding his ; ,
: flag aloft, shouted "Viva Dumala!" and ; *
i hurled the banner over the president, ??
the folds of it enveloping him and "
throwing him.
The traitors, seeing him helpless on gi
! the ground, fired at his head under ' to
| the banner. That was where the plot j pi
| went wrong. j pi
As Harera went down under the ' re
weight of the falling flag, he had the
presence of m-ind to lie flat on his back I
i and hold one of his ari^ straight up : C<j
j from him, thus suppoitlrg the flag! ^
! and giving the impression that his fist !
; was his head. The only wound he re* ! M
! ceived was one bullet through his i
| hand. h
The traitors, having figured that six
' of them shooting at him would be sure to
| to kill him, did not have extra car- j w
tridges When he stood up and threw j ~~
off the flag their companions arrested j ?
them.
"You must have your hand dressed," j
suggested one of the officers, seeing j
the blood flowing from the president's {
wound.
"I'll do that," said Harera, "as soon j
as these traitors have been executed."
He had them lined up in front of the
palace and gave the word that resulted
in their death from a volley by
their companions. After that he went n
into the palace and had his wound ^
dressed, all of which indicates that
the gentle art of being president in
Latin America calls for quick thought
and speedy action.?Popular Magazine,

Gooseberries as a Tonic.
k supposed authority strongly recommends
gooseberries, cooked, of course,
as a tonic better than the finer berries ~
generally in the market. Tb? gooseberry

Eels as Food.
The eel's food value is great and in
some countries it is staple. The English
consume millions, but the Scotch
would quite as soon eat snakes. So
In the ancient times, while the Romans

Egyptians would not touch them. A at
great many of our people have this ba
same aversion to the eel, though a fe
great many others are fond of it.?
