have to admit that many of their the
cries are guesswork. They have
cleaned some very interesting data
from the disturbance. and the seismo-
graph, that delicate instrument that
registers disturbances of the earth, has
come into great prominence. The
weather bureau has one which prompt
ly recorded the earthquake on tho
morning it occurred, but at the mag
netic observatory of the United States
coast and geodetic survey, at Chelten-
ham, the closest observation was
made not only with the seismograph,
but also with the self-registering mag
netic instruments.
This magnetic observatory Is one Of
the best equipped in the country and
the seismograph was mounted there in
December, 1904. The record is made
by a fine steel point which makes a
trace on a sheet of paper having a
smoked surface. This paper is wound
on cylinder driven by clockwork and
revolving once every hour at such a
speed that the smoked surface moves
past the pen point at the rate of one
twenty-fifth Of an inch every four Sec
onds. Cheltenham is 2,450 miles in
an air line from San Francisco and the
record shows that the waves from the
earthquake crossed the continent in
seven minutes "a seconds, or at the
rate Of 51s miles per second, which is
~ times the velocity Of sound.
The self-recording magnetic instru-
ments registered the same data and
showed that the tremors Of the earth
quake crossed from San Francisco to
Cheltenham in about seven minutes.

NOW FOR OSTRICH RACES
Huge Birds in Training at Phil.
adelphia Race-Track for
the Purpose,

In this age of queer ventures, when no
bid for the dollar seems absurd, even
the plan of man to supersede race
horses by training ostriches to take their
places in the track may strike some as
wise one. This idea, says the Brooklyn
Eagle, Is actually being carried out at
the Philadelphia race track, known as
Barney Owens course, the headquarters
Of the East Suffolk Park Driving club.
About dozen ostriches have been in
training at this track for several months
past, and several are in thorough condi-
ton broken to harness and ready to race
as SOON as the time is deemed ripe for
springing the new sport on the public
1t has been no easy task to train the
big birds. They are by nature stupid,
untractable lot, prone to take fright at
their own shadows and ready to strike
out blindly with their great feet at the
mere suspicion Of danger. BY unlimited
patience, however, the meaning of the
harness has been beaten into the stupid
heads Of the birds, and once the ostrich
is hitched to racing sulky it is not diff
cult to manage him.
The only way it has been found pos
sible to harness the ostrich is first to
blindfold him. No matter how many
times he has gone through the same
struggle he will resist the efforts to har-
ness him with all his great strength and
unwieldy weapons of defense. To be-
gin with, therefore, the attendants draw
over the birds eyes black hood. The
hood is pulled down ON the neck, leav-
ing only hole through which the beak
protrudes. When this hood is on the
bird instantly becomes as quiet as a
lamb, although up to the moment of the
darkening of his sight he will fight like
an enraged tiger. When the hood is on
and the ostrich stands meek and still
the trainer drags the shafts of the sulky
to their place and straps the bird to the
vehicle. Then he slips the harness over
the ostrich's bill and the bird stands
ready for the race. The hood may then
be withdrawn, for these racing ostriches
stand still when the harness is fixed,
they probably having grasped, even
with their limited intelligence, the idea
that 1t is exercise time, welcome relief
from the confinement Of the pen.

partment of California he was right
on the spot when the terrible earth
quake wrecked the city of San Fran
cisco, and the record he has made In
maintaining order and giving relief to
the sufferers is equal to any that he
had previously attained, although he
is medal of honor man in the list
of army officers.
Gen. Funston Is right we'll known
in Washington, where he has many
friends who were intimate with him
long before he ever dreamed that he
would wear the stars of brigadier
general in the regular army. Less
than a dozen years ago he was an in
conspicuous clerk in the department OF
agriculture, place he secured through
the influence of his father, who was
for many years Republican congress-
man from the state of Kansas. Fun
ston was always an ambitious little fell
low. but his friends here do not re-
call that q military career especially
appealed to him until conditions grew
so bad in Cuba under Spanish misrule.
He used to talk with his associates
about the oppression of the Cubans
and wish that he could do something
to help them win liberty. He went to
Cuba finally and fought with the pa
triots against the Spanish and had a
pretty lively time.
It was when the Spanish war broke
out and he was largely instrumental
in raising Kansas regiment, Of which
he was made colonel, that his active
military career began and he soon
demonstrated that while he was an en-
thusiast, he was practical one and
not visionary one. u..l

to Gen. Robert Gibson Smith, of New
Jersey, for $4,000. This is one OF the
est-known estates in Virginia, and IS
situated in Fairfax county. on the Po'
tomac river, % miles from Washing
ton. The estate almost touched the old
Mount Vernon estate, and the own"
er of Gunston hall, Mr.. George Mason,
was one of the most intimate friends
and neighbors that George Washing
ton had. SO
The old mansion is standing v1rtu-
ally as 1t was built by Mr.. Mason, In
1855. It is an imposing and delightful
old building, and is of the old colonial
type of architecture. The bricks OF
which 1t is built were brought by ship
all the way from Scotland. They are
twice the size Of modern bricks, but
are exceedingly durable as the walls OF
Gunston hall will compare more than
favorably with the buildings OF the
present day. The house Is 30 feet
long by 40 feet wide. The principal
entrance is on the north side OF the
building and Is marked by a large
square porch Of brick and stone and
having four heavy doric pillars. On
the south side there Is a smaller porch
overlooking the wide Potomac.
This estate now consists of 615 acres
and affords fine pasture and farming
lands, besides having large orchards
containing about 10000 fruit trees.
Former Representative Thomas E.
Watson, of Georgia, populist and
Farmers Alliance advocate, tried ia
buy this place about year ago. Mr.
Watson, despite his preaching the
simple life and antagonizing riches, Is
man we'll to do in this worlds goods,
and amply able to pay the $4,000
asked for this old estate, but some
hitch occurred In his negotiation. He
was anxious to get up into the old
colonial atmosphere and settle down
