Effects OF Vibration.


What force least expected does the
greatest damage to buildings?" News
representative asked Of a we'll known
architect.
ut is difficult to tell. But will
venture to say that you would never
expect violin playing to injurc The
walls of building. Yet that is GER
tainly the case. There have been in.
stances when the walls of brick and
stone structures have been seriously
impaired by the vibrations of violin.
Of course, these cases are unusual,
but the facts are established. The
vibrations ve violin are something
terrible in their unseen, unbound
force, and when they come in contact
with regularity they bear their inAu-
ence upon structures of stone, brick
or iron. Of course, it takes continu.
GUS playing for many years to loosen
masonry or to make iron brittle, hu:
that result is obtained. In the great
Masonic Temple in Chicago have
thought of what the result might be if
man would stand on the first floor at
the bottom Of the 19-story light we'll,
and there play continuously. The re-
suit could be more easily seen there
than almost any place else, because
the vibration gathers force as it sweeps
upward. A man can feel the vibra-
tion of o violin on an ironclad ocean
vessel, and at the same time be unable
to hea- the music. 1t is the regulari-
ty of the vibration which means SO
much. like the constant dripping Of
water wearing away stone, the inces.
SAINT vibration of violin makes it's
way to the walls and attacks their So
lidity.'
But why doesn't the vibration ef-
feet the player?'
"Because man is flexible object.
He can Civ way to motion and resume
his place again. A frame building
would not be damaged by vibration,
because the timbers are flexible. But
it is different with masonry.
"You may have noticed that dog
crossing the room will shake the entire
building, no matter how small the dog
A dog can shake suspension bridge
Hhere are some great and valuable
bridges which dogs are never allowed
to cross, except when carried. Yor
see, in that case it is the regularity oi
the vibration that is 80 powerful. The
dogs movement is fixed and positive
institution. The first step on tht
bridge is not noticed so much, bu,
every step comes at the same interval
and with the same frmness. The
force gathers momentum, and eacf
step makes the bridge sway more. Blu,

how everything in the room rattles and

room and shake the foo. as you hav.

THE AWFUL DAY THAT COMES.

For more than q century and half scientists
have been studying seismic indications and condi
tons, and although an eruption of Mont PeIee was
prophecied fifty years ago. scientists only the day
previous the eruption professionally declared that
St Pierre in no danger. Yet the eruption not
only came within few hours, destroying St Pierre
and sinking the bottom OF the sea at that point some
thing like 800 feet, the very next day St Vincent,
further south and cast, was shaken from center TO
circumference in connection with an eruption which
destroyed hundreds of lives Farther along in about
the same parallel Of latitude Guatemala had been
shaken up by the identical disturbance which de,
strcyed the capital of Martinique Professor Fab
Of Vienna after having made prediction which
seemed be verified prophecied the destruction of
the great city of New York few years ago. He
based his terrorizing forecast on the sinking and
rising Of certain parts of the coasts which he main
tanned, must send such tidal wave over Manhattan
Island as would leave hardly vestige of the proud
metropolis Yet there was no decline in the price Of
real estate in that community as consequence
few weeks ago entered newspaper Office in
St Louis and announced that on the next Friday
night a severe earthquake shock would be felt in
that section and that still more violent disturbance
would come week later It happened that the first
prediction right but the failure of the second
proved that the had simply made happy guess
Almost ANYBODY can make prediction of general
earthquake, without defining its limits clearly and
have a seeming success. Seismic phenomena are
frequent than people think and the prophetic
failures forgotten while every successful one
treasured up. The Vienna mans forecasts are based
on the old theory that when the and are
conjunction with the latter its nearest approach
to the earth they produce tide in the fluid interior
the earth which fractures the earths crust at its
weakest points. It happens that this the case
when the recent Martinique horror occurred. How
ever some of the severest disturbances have taken
place under other conditions so the theory is of little
practical value.
There have been numerous successful predictions,
but in most cases the time has been short to pre-
vent loss of life. In 1s4s bishop Of Ischia noted
change in the character of the well and warned
his people of approaching earthquake in time to
save many lives The Capuchian fathers at Melphi
in 1851 observed that the lake near the monastery
disturbed without apparent cause, and they too.
saved thousands from quake which followed Most
other successful predictions have been merely
guesses

ance was kept up until after number OF assays, a
reduction plant Of some kind was installed. Nobody
but the gullible believed fer a moment that the
scheme was any other than to unload some worthless
holdings But the newspapers Of Topeka kept on
reasserting and reassurng and the other papers at
pricking the very thin bubble until the average
reader long since became disguised. The Eagle had
