An Authority on Earthquakes.

Professor John Milne, the authority
appealed to every time an earthquake
disturbs the earth's crust, has qualified
for his post by studying the surface Of
the globe in many lands. As mining
engineer and seismologist his journey
ings have taken him over Russia,
China, Arabia, Australia, America and
Newfoundland. In Japan, where he
was for twenty years in the govern
ment employ, he established an earth
quake survey with nearly a thousand
stations. The cable companies often
appeal to him when their lines are in
terrupted and never in vain. Some
time ago it was reported that two
West Indian cables had broken on
Dec 81. That is very unlikely" said
Professor Milne, "but l have a seismo-
gram showing that these cables may
have broken at II: 80 a. IN. on Dec. 90"
And he then located the break at the
exact spot it had occurred off Haiti
London Standard.

An Ingenious and original American
while tending his bees in an ordinary
beehive noticed one day while han
ding a swarm that the temperature
within the hive appeared TO be similar
to that in his Incubator. He there
upon put the matter to the test by
means of the thermometer and found
that his senses had guided him Alright.
1t then occurred to him that he might
combine the industries of honey max
ing and egg Matching and make the SUI
perhuOuS warmth from the one provide
the necessary temperature for the 9th
er. According to the Scientific Ameri-
can, he placed twenty eggs in the up
per portion Of the hive and separated
them from the working apartments Of
the bees by means of a cotton cloth.
The eggs were further protected by
cushions made from a quilt and left
in their unique position for the req
uisite number of days. Eighteen Of
the twenty eggs We're satisfactorily
Matched. The sensations Of the young
chickens on realizing the nature and
occupations of their foster mothers are

The Greatest Regret of Life.

Here are some impressive thoughts
from Canon LiddOn:
Life is like the summers days. In
the first fresh morning we do not real
lie the monday heat, and at noon we
do not think Of the last shadows length
ening across the plain and of the set
ting sun and Of the advancing night.
Yet to each and all the sunset comes at
last, and those who have made the
most of the day are not unlikely to re-
feet most bitterly how little they have
made of it. Whatever else they may
look back upon with thankfulness or
with sorrow it is certain that they will
regret no omissions Of duty more keen
ly than neglect Of prayer, that they
will prize no hours more than those
which have been passed, whether in
private or in public, before that throne
Of justice and Of grace upon which
they hope to gaze throughout eternity"

The Telegraph In Africa.

According to German papers, the tel
egraph line which is to run from the
Cape of Good Hope to Cairo, the length
of the continent Of Africa, has reached
from the south Udshidshi, on the shores
of the Tanganyika lake, in German
East Africa. A survey is now to be
made to find the best connecting route
with the north. Considerable difficulty
will have to be overcome, as swamp
100 miles in length exists north of I'd
Ehidshi, where it will be very difficult
to run reliable air line. 1t was in
tended to run around this swamp, but
now it has been determined to utilize
wireless telegraphy for communication
across. Wireless telegraphy, however,
would probably be only a temporary
affair, as the wireless telegraph ap-
pears to be unreliable in the tropicA

THE RAILROAD GATEMAN.
Why He Examines Your Ticket BE-
fore You Take a Train.

Railroad passengers often wonder
and not infrequenty grumble at the
necessity of presenting their tickets to
u gateman before entering train.
/ Although this official is not only an in
convenience to the passenger but also
obviously m additional expense to the
company, there are two very good rea-
sons for his continued existence.
In the first place. the gateman is an
animated signpost who exercises a
very beneficial effect in seeing that no
traveller boards the wrong train by
mistake. In the second place, his pres
ence is extremely useful to the railroad
company in reducing the number Of
cash fares paid on the train.
Duplex, or rebate, tickets are not
satisfactory TO passengers, conductors
or the railroad company. On crowd
ed train the conductor has no time to
make change for number Of travellers,
and. moreover, he has no safe place in
which to deposit the large amount of
money which he would have TO carry
if the practice Of paying on the
train became general. The passenger
does not like to have to present his
half Of the ticket at ticket window
in some station in order TO recover the
extra or 10 cents without which the
company has no means of checking the
amount Of fares collected by the con-
ductOrs.
In the best circumstances then, du
pick tickets are cumbrOus and not very
reliable adiuncts to bookkeeping For
these reasons the obnoxious gateman
continues TO bar the way to the rail
road train and to irritate sensitive pas
sengerS by his request that they show
their tickets.
1t is only when he is no longer on
hand that the advantages Of the pres
ence of this official become apparent.
In the big south terminal in Boston, for
example. the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad does not require
passengers TO show their tickets before
entering trains because of an old custom
Of the city, which the railroad does not
wish to violate. As a result the num-
Der Of cash fares collected on trains
running out from Boston is much great
er in proportion to the travel than
from any other station on the road
it is probably safe to say, any other
station in the country. This is nui-
sance which has been quite severely
felt by the railroad people, but, as with
many other good old traditions" no
one cares to be the first to break
through il.

The Anectionnte Mother.

Or. Emily d. Smith tells an incident
Of medical missionary work at Inghok,
China. \ mother came to see her little
boy, who was under the physicians
care. She had with her a baby girl not
three months old An Old woman was
there from a distant town to visit a
daughter who was in the girls school.
She saw the three-mOnth-Old girl and
decided she would make a good wife
for her nine-mOnth-Old grandson. So she
struck 4 bargain with the mother, but
instead of paying for the baby the
mother gave the old woman ~ cents,
the largest dOwry which she could af-
ford 10 give her daughter. Then, with
beaming complacency, she saw her
three-month-old baby taken away,
never to be seen again.

The Fad In England.

In England tall talk is now hopeless
ly out Of fashion. The pose Of the day
is to have no pose. If a man asks you
to dine he will preface his invitation
with the statement that you will prob
ably have 'to put up with filthy food"
The owner of a chateau packed from
basement to rooftree with splendid
works of art will invite a friend to
run down to his 'shanty," and If while
there you attempt to question him
about the portrait of some armOred an
cestor or powdered beauty you are
pretty sure to be put off with a laugh
ing assurance that he has forgotten
who the old Johnnies were" 1--WE,
who are so inclined to copy the ca
prices in vogue in England, might do
worse than ape this one" says writer
In Harper's.

The Invention of GInss.

The date of the original invention of
glass has not been determined, but it
was far back in the ages, for the art
was known to the Egyptians $500
years ago Some writer's believe that
glass was in more general use in the
ancient than in comparatively modern
times and affirm that among the Egyp-
tians it was used even as material for
collins. Glass has properties peculiar
ly its own, one of which is that it is Of
no greater bulk when hot or in the
melted state than when cold. 1t IS
transparent, but the materials Of
which it is composed are opaque. 1t
IS not malleable, but In ductility it
ranks next to gold. Its feXibility
when hot is wonderful and it is so
elastic that it can be blown to a gauze-
like thinness, so as to easily float upon
the air. While it is exceedingly brittle,
its elasticity is such that q z , her
medically sealed if dropped upon a
polished anvil will recoil two-thirds Of
the distance Of its fall and remain en-
tire until the second or third rebound.

Home Talent.

'Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" that Imaginable book -drama that is being played on the pro- fessional stage with such marked success, will be produced by local talent at the new Ramirez Theater on October Doth. It promises to be one of the best entertainments ever given in Nogales and should have the hearty support of the Nogales people. It is given for the benefit of the Congrega- tional church. The theater should be crowded, if for no other reason than to help this worthy cause, yet the management assures the public that they will get more than their moneys worth. In the endeavor to give the public a really meri- torious performance, the manage ment is going to considerable ex- pense to stage the production in almost professional style.
 News Orchestra has been en- gagged to furnish the music for the play, and will be a treat to the music lovers of Nogales. This new organization is composed of musicians of ability, who will make their first appear ance at this time.

 Taking effect October 1st the United States consular agency at Guaymas was transferred from the jurisdiction of the consulate at Nogales to the new consular office at Hermosillo.
