CANDLES AS PEROUISlTES.
Ono OF the Queer Omcial ObsorVances In
Paris.

One OF the Queer Onlcial Observances In
Paris.
A Paris official recently received his
annual present Of ten pounds of can
dies. The man thus favored is the po-
lice commissary of the district of Saint
German IAuxerrois and he receives his
box of candles from the chamber of no.
taries.
The origin of this observance dates a
long way back. 1t arose out of a dis
pute between the police commissary of
the Chatelet and the corporation of
notaries.
The duty of the former was to hold a
lighted candle at the door of the cham
Der as the legal gentlemen were enter
ing it, and on one occasion the commits
sary, with the spirit which animates
many men in Office, even in our w
great country, complained that it vas
unfair for the expense of the candles to
fall upon him, c%ontending that he ought
rather to receive an indemnity for his
services.
He gained his point, and from that
time forward the commissary was given
three hundred pounds of wax candles
annually. In the course of time the
three hundred pounds of wax melted
away and dwindled, till in the present
day the ancient custom has come down
to the gift of ten-pound box of COM
posite candles.

AN EAR DETEcToR.

Marvellous Mes sages OF Shakings In Japan
Conveyed by a Little instrument.
It has become possible to discover an
earthquake and to mark it's force at q
distance of over seven thousand miles,
says the New York World. This seems
to smack of magic, but it is neverthe-
less q semitic fact. Some time ago it
was stated as simple truth hat 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 q strip of paper. That the
movements of the earth could thus
transmit themselves almost i~nstantane-
ously, registering, as it were, acros
h Mediterranean and nearly the
whole of France more quickly than a
telegraph message could have been
sent, was thought hardly plausible.
But it can well be believed now in
view Of a recent more marvellous dem
onstration of the self-registering of an
earthquake much farther away.
Within an 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 n single sheet of paper clearly and
distinctly, showing plainly that there
were five separate disturbances" of
varying force. Recent scientific re-
ports hat have just come from the
Japanese empire confirm the accuracy
of the instruments of the Roman col
lege in Il most remarkable manner.
The practical part of the discovery is
hat 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
MOI do they indicate the starting point.
Instruments of this character were
at Nicolaicff 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 fol 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 benc-
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 foretelling shocks comparative
ly near at hand. The long-distance in
stances recorded above are the first in
the history of the seismograph.
