AN EARTHQUAKE SHOCK.
The Phenomenon Is Caused by Series of
Intricate TwistfDgs.

The Phenomenon Is Caused by a Series of
Intricate Twistings.
Strangely enough, the true concep-
ton of the nature of an earthquake
shock is of very recent origin. 1t is
only within the past 10 years that
the science of the measurement of
earthquakes has been placed on a
sure basis, and it is hardly more than
a generation since the first steps were
taken in this direction.
From the time of the ancients I'M
til the middle of our own century
the phenomena of earthquakes had
been observed and described on
countless occasions. But if any one
will look over the pages of Hum
boldt's Cosmos" published in 1844),
which summarizes the then existing
knowledge on this subject, he will
find almost no sign that earthquakes
are to be studied like other mechan-
ical motions.
The effects of the great Neapolitan
earthquake of 1857 were SO studied
by Mr.. Robert Mallet, a distin-
guished engineer, and his most inter
esting work in two profusely illus
trated volumes is perhaps the first
in which an attempt is made to at
tack the problem from its mechanic
al side. His study of the destruction
due to the earthquake was intended
to lead to the knowledge of the in
tensity of the individual blows or
impulses. But in fact an earthquake
is not made up of blows at all. 1t is
a continuous series of intricate twist
ings and oscillations in all possible
directions, up and down, east and
west, north and south, of the great
est irregularity both in intensity and
direction.
Frequently it is quite impossible to
find among these any single impulse
at all adequate to do the damage
which is actually observed. This
damage is not done by blow. 1t is
done by the combination of many
small motions and twistings taking
place in many directions. On ac-
count of this fundamental miscon-
ception of the nature of an earth
quake, most of the conclusions ar
rived at by Mr.. Mallet are not valid,
and his methods do not generally lead
to correct results. But nevertheless
the spirit n which the question was
approached was the true one, and he
is one of the founders of the modern
science of earthquake measurement.
This science had it's birth in the
city of Toxic only few years ago.
Within the last dozen years the Uni
versity of Toxic has brought togeth-
er great number of foreigners of
ambition and learning to constitute
its faculty. ] shrewdly suspect that
in many cases they had few pre-
scribed duties, and that the, instru-
ments and laboratories for research
were often lacking, at least in the
earlier years. This band of learned
and active men could not fail to be
melted to the study of the very fire.
quent earthquakes in Toxic and the
vicinity (when we take all Japan
into account, there are an average of
two shocks daily, and it is chiefly to
the members of the Seismological
society of Japan that we owe the sci

Colors and Insanity.

The influence of the various colors
on the minds of human beings (espe-
cially in cases of mental diseases) has
long been a subject of curious in
quiry. In Italy, Germany and Aus
tria the insanity experts have had
some peculiar experience in this line.
In the hospital for the insane at Al
essandria, in the first of the above
named countries, two special rooms
have been arranged, one fitted up
with windows of red glass and red
paint on the walls, the other in blue
throughout.
A violent patient is first taken to
the "blue room" and left to see what
effect that color will have on his
nerves. One maniac was cured in
less than an hour; another, raving
and furious, was at perfect peace aft
er passing day in the calming
shades of his cerulean surrounding.
The red room" is used for the
commonest forms of dementia, espe-
cially melancholia and refusal to take
food. The first patient was one who
had tasted seven days. After only
three hours stay in the red room he
became quite cheerful and asked for
food. The importance of few gen
eral facts like these is obvious to
all thinkers and should not be light
ly overlooked, even though such
treatment is of the ''fad" class and
'smacks of the marvellous. st.

with each other to catch the first
glimpse of the mangled body, for now
they were sure that the young mans

train to another standstill with a Jerk
which threatened to demolish all the
windows.

The brakeman elevated his hands

began to move slowly ahead.

and the train moved ahead faster and

Another vigorous motion with one

throttle so wide open that the engine
threatened to jump the track with
the entire train, and when the sad
