THE CITIZEN
The Washington Monuments
SeiSmOscOpe.

The largest seismoscope in the world
hangs through the center of gravity IN
that great obelisk which was erected at
Washington D. c., in honor of our ma
tions first ruler.
This instrument consists of a copper
wire ia feet long which holds plum
met suspended from its lower extrem-
ity into a vessel of water Two tran
sits arranged at right angles to each
other are focused upon the wire just
above the plummet, and by means OF
these little telescopes the slightest vlora-
ton of the great mass of stone is indl-
Gated upon graduate scale.
The expansion of the monuments
south face, on hot summer day, some
times shifts the apex northward few
hundredths of an inch, and high winds
frequently cause a slight variation from
the normal position of the wire. Occa
sionally the plummet swings violently
when the weather is calm and cool, Its
motion under such circumstances being
ascribed to vibration, of the 9BIlq 1t
self.
The custodian of the monument
takes a daily statement of the transits
and prepares a monthly chart of the
same, which is filed in the War Depart
ment. An examination of these records
discloses the interesting fact that no
permanent change has been effected
in the position of the monument, the
plummet having always leaned toward
its normal resting place when the
causes of disturbance subsidized.

The WoolIy Horse of Lackawann.

There comes from Masonville the
strange story of a peddler and his horse.
The vender of pins, needles and brica-
brac landed at farmers home one
night and asked to remain until morn
ing, as his horse was sick. The farmer
gave his consent and helped to doctor
the horse; but, in spite of their combin-
ed effrots, the horse died, was skinned
and they went to bed. Some time in the
night the farmer was disturbed by hear
ing strange noise and arose to invest
igate, when he discovered that the horse
had recovered and was frisking about
to keep warm. Feeling sorry for the
animal, he proceeded to cover it with
a sheepskin, which took root and grew.
1t is farther added that 70 5pounds of fine
wool was sheard from the horse few
months later Truth appears to be
stranger then fiction. Scranton pa

When is it impossible for a secret to
come to light?-When it is kept dark.
If we could trace Dyspepsia to its
source, it would lead back to our kitch-
ems. In fact, the secret of good health
is good cooking, If well cooked, foods
are partially digested; if poorly cooked,
they are less digestible than in their
raw state. If you are victim Of faulty
cooking, thay is, if you suffer from Dys-
pepsia, the rational cure must be looked
for in an artificially digested food, and
a food which will at the same time aid
the digestion of other foods Such a
preparation virtually rests the tired di-
gestive organs, thereby restoring them
to their natural strength.
