MeasurIur an Eart,luuake.

Some interesting computations and
investigations have been made on the
earthquake which disturbed Calcutta
year ago. This earthquake was regis
tered at nineteen obscryatories In Eu-
rope (the most distant Of which was
Edinburg, 1870 kilometres from the
epicenter. The seismographs and mag
netographs made records Of the distur-
bance, and the average Of the results
obtained indicates that the mean sur
face velocity of the first vibrations
was either nine or eleven kilometres
per second, according to the time ta-
ken for Calcutta. These first vibra-
tions, which lasted for twenty-three
minutes, were followed by large, long
periodic oscillations whose velocity
was either 2.61 or 2.76 kilometres per
second. Crossing Italy the complete
wave must have been 54 kilometres in
length, and the height of Its crest
about half a metre.

Refuse of Phot oe eraph Studios.

"Refiners of nitrate Of silver for the
Use Of photographers" said man en-
gagged in this line OF business in New
York to a reporter recently, have
agents travelling constantly all over
the United States collecting the waste
clippings of sensitized paper that ac-
cumulate in every Photographic gal
lery. They buy all they can find and pay
for It in new nitrate, allowing the pho
tographers a good round price for their
waste.
"The waste Is shipped to the refiners,
where the nitrate in the paper is sepa-
rated from it by chemical processes
and prepared for market again. This
re-refned nitrate Is as good as 1t was
originally, and is SOLD for just as much.
The refiners. of course, make big
profit out of the waste, and the photo
grapher Is able to get a good supply
OF material for the old scraps that
would otherwise be OF no use to him.
when one thinks of the great num-
ber of photograph galleries and studios
in the country, and the fact that the
waste paper Of them all Is closely
gathered by the reflners at price that
will average 81 pound, he may get
some idea of the proportion of busi-
ness that Is utterly unknown outside
Of the persons directly interested in
the trade. Not only the scraps Of sill
yer sensitized papers, but those OF the
paper treated with solution Of gold,
are eagerly sought by the refners, and
the photographer is always very will
Ing to exchange his accumulation Of,
to him, worthless waste for new
stock of valuable nitrate"

A PECULIAR ISLAND.
MONEY HAS NO VALUE IN LONELY
TRISTAN D'ACUNHA.

Its Queer Old Governor and the Rerson Of
Hi Boing There-A Happy and C"ntented
People Who Know Nothing of the Out
side World.
Did you ever hear of place where
money was useless? Well, there is such
O. place. Ii is the island of Tristan.
d'Acunha, in the South Atlantic, about
midway between the Cape OF Good
Hope and the South American coast.
But you mustn't jump to the conclusion
that money has no valli6 there because
the island is uninHahted. 1t has a
population of A.yi9ur. and is the
tinest CT Great =! itain's many small
colonies.
Once o year the British government
sends of a ship to the island. Just
why this should be done is net quite
clear. A yearly mail service is quite
unnecessary, for although the sixty
four inhabitants are British subjects
they never receive any mali. They
lead a solitary cXistence, knowing
nothing CT the great woili leyond their
shores and caring lss.
Some time ago. or sOElC reason OF
other, the King Of I,aly sent donation
of two hundred dollars for distribution
among the inhabitants. A gentleman
named Cane, who had visited the is

teeth of children whose parents arc too
poor to employ dcutist. A local ply
sician conceived the idea and sought
the ala of the churches. He was ready
20 bear the financial burden alone, but
he desired the church people to assist
him in finding objects for his charity.
His notion was riGiCuled, but he per-
sisted in it without assistance, eXpend-
ed much money in fitting up his dis
pensary and in employing assistants.
and last year he cllCd for the teeth
of nearly two tholannd children. He
seeks no aid froIa any quarter, but
finds it necessary Occasionally TO ap-
peal to the citizens TO furnish him with

A GREAT INDUSTRY.
EMPLOYS ovsR ONE MILLION PER-
SONS IN THE U lITED STATES.

Tho Various Uses to Which Electricity Is
Applied-Telegraph and Telephone Give
Work to Hundreds Of Thousands
Railroad Car to Fan Now Run by 1t.
More than 100000 persons in the
United States, it is now computed, get
their livelihood through employments
dependent upon or connected with the
use of electricity, and compared with
the United States the number of per-
sons so employed in other countries is
practically insignificant. The rapid
increase of the electric business of this
country is shown by the fact that at
the time Of taking the last national
census, that 1890, no serious effort was
made to give figures showing the ex-
tent of the use of electricity.
There are in the United States near
ly million miles Of telegraph wire,
and there are $4,000 telegraph offices,
exclusive of those maintained by the
railroad companies for the conduct and
regulation of their trains Taking into
account telegraph operators. telegraph
company employees, and those In the
telegraph service of the railroads, there
are 1900 persons connected With the
transmission of telegraphic messages
in the United States There are now
60O, 900 miles Of telephone wire l1 the
United States, more than 1000 eX-
changes, and an equal number Of tele-
phone branch offices, exclusive, OF
course, OF pay stations. The number
Of employees of the telephone COM
panies Of the United States Is $4,000,
exclusive OF those engaged in construc-
ton and repair work for the compan-
les.
The gradual substitution Of the elec-
trio current for horse power on surface
railroads has added largely to the num-
ber 8f employees of electric railroads.
There are now in the United States
1000 miles Of electric or trolley roads,
and these roads give employment, 1t Ia
computed, to 100000 persons as motor
men, conductors, clerks, inspectors,
and electricians. Then there Is the
item of electric lighting which is one
of the most important branches Of the
development Of electric service, but
likewise one the figures Of which are
most fragmentary. Nearly every I'm
portant city of the United States, and
many unimportant cities, too, are light
ed by electricity, as well as private
houses, stores,public buildings, tunnels,
bridges, caves, mines and parks, and
the use of the electric current in man
ufacturing is constantly on the in
crease Machines are run by electrici-
ty, many manufacturing operations are
performed by 1t, elevators are run by
electricity, fans for cooking purposes
are run by electricity and as these uses
are extended the number OF persons
employed is steadily being increased.
There are still to be added to the
figures OF another branch Of the busi-
ness. one Of the most Important
manufacture of electric appliances.
which, it is computed, gives employ
ment to more than 10000 persons.
Taking all the figures together, 1t Is
probably not far from the truth to say
that there are 100000 persons in the
United States dependent upon electric
ity for livelihood.

MOST REMARKABLE LAKE.
A Strange Black Fluid That Bears No Re
semblanoe to Water.

semblanoe to Water.
The most remarkable body of watei
in the world lies in the vicinity Of the
Colorado river. in Southern California.
In this region of ugly volcanoes, desc.
late wastes and Shiny swamps, the
strangest phenomenon of all is what
the naturalists call a lake OF ink" No
other description fits SO well.
The strange, black fluid that forms
the lake bears no resemblance to wa
ter.
The pool of ink is situated about halt
mile from volcano. 1t is about an
acre in area. The surface is coated
with gray ashes from the volcanoes to
the thickness of about six inches, thus
concealing it's real nature.
Experiment has proved that the
black fluid Of the lake is not poisonous.
1t acts as dye, and cotton goods soak
ed in it keep their color for months,
even when exposed to the sun. They
also acquire stiffness similar to that
produced by weak starch. The fluid has
been analyzed, but its component parts
have not been made known. A to the
source of the supply Of the lake, moth
ing definite has been ascertained. 1t
Is undoubtedly Of volcanic origin, but
nothing more definite is known.
This Is bad land that has never
been traversed. Human beings have
tried it, but they never return to tell
OF their experience Of their discoveries.
