THE SE|SM0GRAPH
INSTRUMENT WHICH TELL
OF EARTHQUAKES.
Every Movement Of the Earth Is Ac'
curately Recorded at Washington
Ofice-Record Of San Fran
cisco Earthquake.

II science has not as yet discovered
any method by which the coming OF
an earthquake can be foretold, it has
perfected a delicate instrument which
with the utmost accuracy tells the
story of the vibratto when they 90
occur. This instrument is the seis-
mograph, and the record which 1t mas
left of the recent upheaval at San
Francisco has occupied the attention
of scientists since then and drawn the
eyes of the general public to the in
strument itself, and people are asking
what the seismograph is like and how
| it works.
It seems wonderful that an fnstru-
ment located at Washington could be
able to record the earthquake at San
Francisco, but such is the case, in fact
no vibration Of the earth surface any
where on the glcbe, however slight,
goes unnoticed by this sensitive little
earthquake detective. Up to the time
Of the upheaval which leveled the Pa
| cific coast metropolis the delicate
needle of the seismograph had been
tracing long, straight white lines on
the gelatined surface of the record
sheet Wednesday morning, when 1t
suddenly became agitated at eight
O'Clock 10 minutes and 20 seconds,
and began to make more or less elon-
gated waves. At 8:25 O'Clock the
strong waves began, and the recording
needle moved rapidly back and forth
across the sheet. Then followed the
most violent waves between 1892 and
1886 O'Clock, seventy-fifth meridian
time, as is shown by the record. AT
one time the motion of the needle was
SO vigorous that its point went Oh
the sheet, which it kept in motion by
a clock machine, and the point did not
return to the sheet until there was a
secondary lull :n the great disturb
ance. Then, when the needle had re-
sumed its tracings, the earth vibra-
tions and waves continued until l2:35'
when the agitations ceased.
Each of the lines on the record sheet
represents an hour OF time, the move
meat of the sheet keeping time with
the tick of the connected clock. The
units of time are marked on this sheet
which is covered with gelatine, and
thus the observer is enabled to tel
!. Just when the earthquakes began and
when, they ended by the markings
|. made by the needle point.
This instrument, which Is saidtto be
one of the finest III the world, was in
stalled by Prof. Willis L. Moore, chie1
of the United States weather bureau

Curious Power of Charcoal.

Prof. Dewar has found that the pow
or of charcoal to absorb gases is vast
" increased at very low temperatures,
90 that it can be employed for exhaust
ptns incandescent lamp bulbs and
Crookes tubes, and also for separat-
ing mixed gases. Experiment has
shown that at the freezing point OF
water and at normal atmospheric
pressure, one gram OF charcoal >ab-
aorbs four cubic centimeters OF hy-
droeen and Is cubic centimeters OF
oxygen. but that at -182 degrees c.,
the temperature Of boiling air. one
eram OF charcoal absorbs 135 cubic
centtmeters OF hydrogen and 25o
,c,,bic centimeters Of oxygen. When
several gases are mixed, the charcoal
ahsorbs some Of them much more free
" than others, 80 that by multiplying
the operation, gases can be separated
from mixtures in sufficient quantity fol
industrial uses.

A man, or rather a, brute in
human form, by name, BilllBright
well was brought to town yester-
day by the officers of Albany
township charged with incest
with his own child of 16 years.
He had, according to report, ac-
complished this most heinous
crime about a year ago and as
the girl reports it by force at first
with threats that if she ever told
it he would kill her. About last
Friday the girls mother caught
the brute and promptly went be-
fore Justice Of the Peace LAM
bert and made an affidavit to what
she had seen, whereupon Bright
well was arrested and then the
girl told all.
The Grand Jury...is now in ses-

AT EMMETT
As John Tweezer Saw 1t

+
picnic at Emmett last Thursday.
1t rained but we did not care. SO
long as dozen or SO young lad
les tried to get under our umbre-
liza to keep dry.
| have read in the good book
where it rained down bread, but
| never heard of it raining down
chicken pies and other good
things to eat, as it did on this
occasion.
Now my stay-a-way friends if
you are a Thomas" or from
Missouri" you might doubt this,
never the less it is a fact. 1t
rained out all previous miracles.
The first shower covered the ia
bles with all kinds of good things
to eat, while the second shower
covered the ground with water
melons and cantelopes.
The fishes and loaves are back
numbers when it comes to a
Woodman picnic.
The program for the day was
cut short, by occasional showers
of rain, which was a great dis
appointment to the large crowd
that had gathered about the beau
tiful grounds at the school house
in anticipation of hearing Sow.
G. R. Haynes dramatic express
ions on Woodcraft, and.the beau
tiful renditions of Misses Christ
opher and Warren.
The noblest work on earth in
which man may exert his energ-
les is that broad field where in
the foundation for the comfort,
peace, and happiness of the dis
tressed are laid broad and deep.
Does woodcrafs offer that field?
If so it should enlist the synpa-
thies and gain the esteem of our
best citizens
There are very few eligible to
membership in our order who
have not a mother, a sister, a
wife or a daughter looking to
them for support and protection.
You old Rip Van Wrinkles should
wake up and provide for your
loved ones. You have slept long
enough. Shoulder your axe and
go with us to the forest and help
roll in a few logs. If you live
in the city make it a point to me-
ander out into Gods country and
become inoculated with the new
life the visit will give you. Study
the trees. pick a wild flower or
two, and exult in its undefiled
purity fringed with the glittering
glory of it's Maker. Try a few
Woodmen dinners, they will take
the slack out Of your trousers
and put you at peace with your
fellow man. An outing now and
then is good for man or beast.
Rubbing against our neighbors
will brighten and take that selfish
edge off of us. You may comfort
yourself with the sweet delusion
that there will be plenty of time
for you to make this preparation
in the indefinite future. How
many have made this mistake?
Now wake up; ask Soy. John
Moore or Sow. Joe Hood If they
have an application card in their
pockets for you to sign. 1t is
dead easy, both of them got in.
While the day was a little off
for nienio purposes, the large
