roo STOUT FOR CONVENIENCE

Naval Officers Accumulate Too Much
Flesh for Comfort.
Following closely upon it's considera-
ton OF the much-disputed question as
to whether entrances to the coming
towers of III ships of war should be
made large enough to permit the easy
lngress and egress of the more rotund
OF u naval officers m discussion
by the navy department as to the meth
ods TO De employed IN removing to the
''sick bay" such persons as may be
wounded on the decks in action. The
intimate connection Of the two topics,
says the Washington Star, may not be
apparent at first glance, but the
thoughtful student of naval affairs will
doubtless see that there is a relation
ship. The principal point to be noted
is as to the difficulty that would. be ex-
perienced in removing from the con-
ming tower the wounded body of one of
those obese officers who, when in DOS
session OF All his faculties, could barely
manage TO squeeze his way in.
BY projecting himself edgewise, SO to
speak, most Of the ultra-stout among
u naval officers could manage to
secure admission, but the getting Of
one OF them put IN case he should
chance to be injured would be q serious
undertaking.
Matters like this have to be consid-
cred now in time Of peace; when a ship
Is in action and the unconscious form
OF her commanding officer is so tightly
wedged in the slot as to make move
ment in or out temporarily impossible,
It is then too late to discuss the width
OF coming tower door ways.
A twofold remedy presents itself:
Either make the slot wide enough to
admit easily the embonpoint Of a three
Observation-Disclosures officer and the
whole body of q twelve-inch shell, or
else insist that officers who cannot easily
enter a moderate slotted tower shall
stay ashore and do bureau work or
roam around IN ships that are not
equipped with towers OF other uncom-
fortably-contracted living or fighting
quarters.

AN ARNQ1AkT DETEcToR.

Marvellous Mes saGes Of ShakinEs In Japan
Conveyed by . Little Instrument.
1t has become possible to discover an
earthquake and to mark its force at a
distance OF W. seven thousand miles,
says the New York World. This seems
to smack of magic, but it is neverthe-
less q scientific fact. Some time ago it
was stated Al simple truth that the
earthquake in Algeria was made known
to the scientists in Paris itself while it
was actually taking place by the I'M
dulations OF certain delicate instru-
ments over a strip of paper. That the
movements of the earth could thus
transmit themselves almost instantane-
ously, registering, as it were, across
the Mediterranean and nearly the
whole of France more quickly than a
telegraph message could have been
sent, was thought hardly plausible.
But it can we'll be believed now in
view of a recent more marvellous dem
onstration of the sele-registering of an
earthquake much farther away.
Within IN hour from the time it COM
menced the late earthquake in Japan
had revealed itself to the instruments
of the Roman college. The oscilla-
tions Of the earth outlined themselves
on a single sheet of paper clearly and
distinctly, showing plainly that there
were five separate ''disturbances'' of
varying force. Recent scientific re-
ports that have just come from the
Japanese empire confirm the accuracy
of the instruments of the Roman col
lege in a most remarkable manner.
The practical part of the discovery is
that the approach of an earthquake
may be told with little chance of error,
though it must be confessed that the
instruments give no hint Of direction
nor do they indicate the starting point.
Instruments of this character were
at Nicolaief and Charkow, cities in the
central part of Russia, and here the
japanese earthquake mentioned was
registered even more plainly, the dis
lance in this case from its seat being
fully four thousand five hundred miles.
The instruments in these towns were
carefully watched at this time and they
were seen to oscillate and mark the
tremblings of the earth for over an
hour.
One of the most remarkable of mod
ern inventions, indeed, is this seismo-
graph, which was invented by Bartelli,
the father of earthquakes" The most
valuable evidence of it's practical bene-
fit to mankind was in 1888, when the
sensitive machine gave warning of an
eruption of Mount Etna. Up to this
time, however, it has only been valua-
BILE for f~oretelling shocks comparative
~ near at hand. The long-distance in
stances recorded above are the first in
the history Of the seismograph.
