THE SWITCHMEN'S UNION
A Struggle Over the Question OF Including the
Life Insurance Feature

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 1.-THE conven-
tion of the Swtchmen's Union of North
America did not reach the election OF
general officers today. The struggle in
the convention centers on the re-ision OF
the constitution and the incorporation OF
the life INSURANCE. plan. There are many
things in the bylaws and rules incorpor-
ated from the old Switchmens' union
which are thought to be inapplicable to
society having peace for its aim. On
this account there will be some trouble
and contention over the strike laws and
the grievances. The maj jority of the de le-
gates favor non-asgressive policy, ex.
copt in the matter of recognition.

AN EARTHQUAKE DETEcToR.
Marvellous Mrssa;:.s OF Shak,nSa In Japan
Conveyed by - Little Instrument.

Marvellous Moss OF Sh3ktnya In Japan
Conveyed by - Li:tie Ins.ru:neat.
1t has become possible 20 discover an
earthquake and to mark its force at a
distance of over seven thousand miles,
says tho New York World. This seems
to smack of magic. but it is ncverthe-
less scientific fact. Some time ago it
was stated ms simple truth tina. the
earthquake in Al2eria was made known
to the scientists in Paris itself while it
was actually tnking place by the un-
dulations of certain delicate instru-
mcnts 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 q
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 escl.-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 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 Nicolaieff and Charkow, cities in the
central part of Russia, and here the
Japanese earthquake mentioned was
registered even more plainly, the dis
tance in this case from its scat 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
| tremonngs OF the earth for over an
hour.
One Of the most remarkable Of mod
graph. wnfah h7was'n1wenteid tS; a,sffitenl;

valuable evidence of its 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-
bic for foretelling shocks comparative
ly near at hand. The long-distance in
stances recorded above are the first in
the history Of the seismograph.

LA Fiesta de Los Angeles.

On April 18th to Goth inclusive car
nival entitled STA fiesta de Los Angeles"
will be held at Los Angeles, Calf.
1t is under the management of the
Merchants Association, an influential
organization of business men who have
large resources and it is expected that
the carnival will excel the Mardi Gras or
any similar fete ever attempted in Ameri
ca.
The fiesta of 1894 was pronounced
success from every standpoint and the
plans for the 1895 event promise the
most unique fete of modern times. AS
you doubtless understand, there are
peculiar conditions which make celebra
ton of this character more enjoyable
there than elsewhere, among which may
be mentioned the mild climate, an abund
ance of fruits and flowers, and the his
toric and romantic associations of Cali
fornia, from which latter are drawn ma
terials for many artistic and unique feat
ures of ola fiesta de Los Angeles" The
Spanish and Chinese population part
icipate in the parades and there are many
other features of An instructive and re-
fning nature. Low rates of fare in effect

Swells Of Ancient Egypt

From what has come down to us,
written, painted or chiseled, the Egyp-
tian lord must have been great swell.
The details Of the twelfth dynasty show
Egyptian elegance at its best. The lord
has a male housekeeper, his miatre
d'hote, called superintendent Of the
provision house. =" There was super
intendent of the baking house," and
the mixer Of drinks had the title Of
scribe of the sideboard. Perhaps he
was butler and regulated the supply
of wines from the cellar. There were
gardeners, porters and handicraft men,
all busy in attending to the master. IA
preparer of sweets" must have been q
confectioner. The Egyptian, when he
was no longer mortal, had hopes of being
well fed in the hereafter, as he believed
he would be nourished in his particular
heaven with abundant goose and beef
Offerings to the gods show the variety
of tho Egyptian menu, and in one are
included 10 kinds Of cooked meat, 5
kinds Of bird or game, 10 varieties Of
bread and cake, s assorted wines, 4
hr.ws Of beers, IL sorts of fruits and all
e..dlcss number of sweet things. New
