Tho Colon md It's Uses.

A son Of Horace Mann, who livesin Wash
ington, has an unusual fashion of signing
all documents. He is Mr.. B: Pickman
Mann and is well known as writer. Mr..
Mann is graduate Of Harvard and holds
an important position in the patent office.
The colon which follows the first initial
would be Greek to the wayfaring man, but
it is only a symbol for Benjamin. Some
years ago the American Librarian associa-
tion, of which Mr.. Mann is a member, was
much exercised over some manner of alb
breviating names so as to decrease the
work Of cataloguing, which in large libra
ries is enormous. They adopted list of
common names OF persons which should be
abbreviated by using the first letter of the
name followed 10y a colon. For the sake
of consistency, and believing the custom
would be a good one, they adopted the fash
ion.
The late Mr.. Ben: Perley Poore, known
30 long and so favorably In Washington,
used this style long before the company of
learned Librarians approved IL. The list now
in use is a large one. Some of the most COM
mon signs are W: for William; III: for
Henry, and j: for James. = Washington

Earthquakes.

Shocks of severe earthquakes appear in
some cases to be transmitted completely
around the globe
A remarkable example of this occurred
on July 2S, 1889. and has only recently been
brought to light. While examining the
record of pendulum experiments at Pots
dam, Herr Paschuitz happened to consult
a volume of the publications of the Seismo-
logical Society of Japan, an association for
the study OF earthquakes and was sur
prised to find that u severe earthquake
which had occurred at Kumamato on the
date above mentioned coincided in time,
allowance being made for transmission Of
the shock. with q double perturbation
which had been noticed by the pendulum
experimeaters at -Potsdam and Wifhefms-
haven.
The explanation of the double perturba-
tion recorded in Germany is not the least
interesting part of the story. 1t was in
terpreted to mean that the shock in Japan
ran both ways round the globe, and as the
perturbation which travelled westward had
shorter distance to go it arrived at Pots
dam about hours and 3S minutes sooner
than did the perturbation which ran round
the shell of the earth eastward.
The distance along "A great circle Of the
globe from Kumamato TO Potsdam, reck-
oning toward the west, is about $500 miles,
while the distance along the same great
circle reckoned the other way round is 49,
800 miles. The average velocity with which
the shock travelled in the earth was about
1857 feet in second. This agrees very well
with the velocity observed in some other
similar oases.-Youth's Companion.

Where tribes are located near enough &c
each other to permit, an exchange of degree
work has proved OF great benefit to the
tribes both 10y increase in membership and
by the addition OF new material of worthy

each selects a degree which is exemplified
