EDWARD SANFORD MAKES EXTENSIVE
IMPROVEMENTS.
Edward Sanford of New York, who
purchased ZalmOn Bradley's place,
has begun repairs on the building. He
is having dOrmer windows put in the
house and is making several changes
in the interior of the house and is
having it newly painted. The barns,
which stand just north of the house,
are to be torn down and large new
barn, 40x6O feet, is to be built, besides
horse and carriage barn and other
out buildings, which are to be loo tied
in the lot east of the house. In the
house which Clarence H. Bradley &C.
cupied, the old chimney has been TAX

their places. A large addition and We

sides other extensive repairs and i'm
provementS. The grounds about the
house are to be nicely laid out. MI
Sanford and family will occupy this
house and Zalmon Bradley's house will
be used for his hired man. A man
with his family from New York have
moved here and are staying in tt e
house while the repairs are being
made. Mr. Sanford is to have a large
reservoir built about quarter of a
mile east Of the house for water sup

reservoir and pump it up into a large
tank, which is to be located in the Or

ALI women work some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, tumors,
liberation, falling and displace-
ments or perhaps irregularity or
suppression, causing backache, ner-
vousness, irritability and lassitude.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day, to sleep well at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is so
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin of which is due to
some arrangement of the female Or
ganism.

EARTHQUAKES.
BY PROF ROSS JEWELL.

Seismology, or the science of earth
QuakeS, is only about half-century
old. Its late development is not due
to infrequency of shocks however, for
it may be doubted that single hour
passes in which the earth is not shak-
ing somewhere, though it may be be-
meath the ocean. But scientific study
SuppOSeS three factors, the subject,
the man, and the instrument. Now
the subject in the present case, though
making almost continual manlfeSta-
tiOnS of it's presence, is in reality uSu-
| ally hidden from six to ten miles be-
low the surface of the earth; the man,
| at the very time when he should be
calm, is suffering from mental excite
| ment, and the instrument has only re-
Gently been invented.
The instrument, like the science,
bears Greek name. SeiSmograph
first syllable pronounced like size)
| comes from two Greek words meaning
a shaking and record. They are con-
structed in various ways but the prin-
ciple is always the same,-of the two
essentials, a pencil (stylus) and a record
sheet, one must be in communication
| with the earth and the other must be
| isolated as completely as possible from
the earth. The earlier instruments
leave the stylus in connection with the
earth and secure almost complete iSO-
lation of a piece of smoked glass by
the device of ring pendulum. Tie
six or eight feet of cord to your watch,
mount a chair. hold the free end of the
cord high in air, and when the watch
has come to Stand-Still let your hand
sway back and forth, but not up and
down, and the motion will affect the
watch very little. Now imagine your
cord several hundred feet long, your
watch suspended horizontally instead
Of edgewise, the crystal smoked and
delicate steel pencil adjusted with the
utmost nicely above it and connected
with the frame Of the instrument and
you have a seiSmograph,. or seismO-
meter. The earthquake shock dis
turbs the stylus and disturbs the top
of the cord at its fastening but tue
cord conveys little disturbance to the
smoked glass and the result is that the
stylus scratches a record upon the
glass.
The newer instruments reverse mat
tiers. They have cylinder carrying
strip of prepared paper several inches
wide and several feet in length, the
preparation being paraffine and SCOT.
The cylinder is in constant motion
and the stylus suspended over it in al
most complete isolation by means of
levers makes fine straight line when
the earth is at rest but the lateral
motion of the cylinder during a shock
results in such records as those pub
lished last week by the daily papers.

The focus, or centrum, of an earth
quake is the point or region, usually
far beneath the surface, where the
shock originates. The waves sent out
in every direction take of neces-
sity circular or curved form and will
be first felt upon the surface at point
directly above the centrum called the
epicentrum. (Epi, Greek for upon or
over.) The waves travel in every di-
rection from the epicentrum and may
complete the circuit of the globe,
though felt at distant points only by
seismographs. The velocity may be as
low as ten miles per minute or it may
be 5000 miles in 10 minutes. The deep
er the focus and the harder the rock
the greater the velocity.
AS to the kind of movement, it may
be up and down, from side to side, or
partaking of both, or it may be twist
ing. Chimneys have been turned
around in their places and left stand
ing.
The tidal wave is an accompaniment
of the more severe shocks originating
beneath the bed of the ocean. The
epicentrum is then point at the bot
tom of the ocean and the earthquake
waves traverse the rocky fooreof the
ocean to the shores. They will reach
first and be most destructive at the
nearest shore. At the same time a
portion of the oceans surface directly
above the epicentrum and many miles
in extent will be lifted up and will i'm
| mediately sink as far below the gen
eral surface as it rose above it a mo-
menu before and a great wave starts ir
| every direction. Vessels will rise anC
fall without feeling that they are do
ing so but as it approaches the nearest
shore some minutes, perhaps nearly ar
hour, after the earthquake wave has
done it's destructive work, the great I'll
dial wave begins to drag on the bottom
and the water walls up perhaps to thu
height of 60 feet and submerges thu
shipping in the harbor and towns
along the coast.
AS to the remote or original causes
of earthquakes the wisest have onl,
theories to give us, and these Theories
rest on other theories which concern
the interior condition Of the earth
Temperature increases from the sur
face toward the center. The rest il
speculation. But it is perfectly wei
known that cracks, or assures, Of i'm
mense extent have been formed in tn
earths crust and vast portions of th
crust have slipped up or down forming
what are known to miners as faults
and scientists seem to agree that tn
immediate cause of earthquakes of th
San Francisco class is to be sought il

OBITUARY..
JULIA JOHNSON SMITH.

The unexpected is the always posi-
BILE, and yet it comes with no less sur
prise and, often, with regret. Espe-
cially is this true when we face the
certainty OF death. We know that all
must die and be gathered to the Great
Majority. The old, the infirm, the
fragile, we expect to lose from our cir
c'e of friends, but, when Death sWoops
down with fatal aim upon the young
and sturdy, we stand aghaSt at his
universal dominion. We can only bow
the head with Job of old and say,
"Shall we receive good at the hand of
God and shall we not receive evil?"
God is too good to do anything except
ia the tenderest love and too wise to
make mistakes. Julia johnson Smith,
terbury High school in June, got her
feet wet, the last Sunday in March.
Tonsilitis followed, from which she
rallied and went to school, though
weak, on Friday, April 6. A cold class
room, in which the windows were
open, gave her death chill, yet she
went to church and Sunday school,
Sunday, April 8. Before Monday
morning dawned, she was very sick,
yet the doctor called thought it but
temporary attack that would quickly
yield to treatment. Julia was deliri-
Gus by Tuesday morning and addition

eryslpelas and already beyond help.
For 40 hours of the most constant and
excruciating suffering, with trained
nurse in attendance, it was losing
battle with the grim monster, who is
on the trail of each one of US, as he
was after our fathers and mothers be-
fore US. For some hours after the
pulse had failed at the wrist, the
stout young heart fought on until the
end came at a. m. Thursday morn
