PUSHED BUTTON IN VAIN.
Hotel Guest Overlooked the Tsle-

to the Clerk.

He walked heavily down the hall, a
scowl on his face. his hat pulled down

Then he boarded the elevator car and
descended to the office floor. He was
full of wrath and Indignation when he
almost ran to the hotel clerk. who
stood behind the desk.
What kind of hotel is this?" he
asked, nearly out of breath. "I've been
in hotels before, but l never got such
poor service in my life. The service in
this joint is the limit"
The clerk smiled pleasantly, yet with
q look of uneasiness on his face, and
asked:

clerk This is modern hotel; we

Light colors of Summer.

1t is only very recently that ladies'
have gone out upon the street afoot in
gowns of light colored cloth. But this
fashion prevailed last season, and Will
be still more popular this year. Pale
Pink, light blue, soft yellow browns
and itans and creams will all be worn
on the street. side by side. with sill

make up very lovely suits, which do

CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKES.
During Ten Years, 1889, to
1898, Inclusive.

Among the reports of the United
States geological survey published in
the "nineties" are eight bulletins on
the subject Of earthquakes in Califor-
MIA, which contain accounts Of shocks
that occurred during the ten years
from 1889 to 1898. inclusive. Study Of
these bulletins shows that there was
hardly single month In all those ten
years when seismic disturbances, more
or less severe, were not felt along the
Pacific coast
The first of these bulletins (No. 6S)
was written by Prof. James Edward
Keller. astronomer in charge of earth
quake observations at the Lick
observatory. Previous to this Prof
e. S. Holden had published, through
the California state printing office. a
paper which contained a list OF the
earthquakes that had occurred In CAL
ifornia. lower California. Oregon and
Washington territory and which gave
all the available data up to the end Of
the year 1888. The next bulletin (No.
95) published by the geological survey
was prepared by Prof. Holden. 1t
contained an account of the earth
quakes in 1890 and 1891. The other
bulletins covering the records for 1892.
1898. 1894, 1895. 1896, 1897. and finally
1898. were published as bulletins Nos.
l12, ia, 129. 147, 1856. and 161. respec-
lively, and all were prepared by Prof.
Charles ID. Perrine, of the Lick OBJ
servatory.
The largest and most complete
instrument used for recording earth
quakes on Mount Hamilton, as de-
scribed in these bulletins, records the
north and south. east and west, and
vertical components of the earth's
motion separately on a smoked glass
plate. which is started by the prelim-
mary tremors of the earthquake and
rotates uniformly in about three min
utes. the edge of the plate being grad
uated into seconds at the same time
by clock, which also serves to record
the time of occurrence of the shock.
This instrument has been called the
Ewing seismograph. Another simpler
form consists OF heavy duplex" PEN
lulum adjusted to long period of
vibration, with a magnifying pointer
or pen, which records on a smoked
glass plate both horizontal components
of the motion. The vertical compo-
nents and the time are not recorded.
The observatory possesses other seis
mographs of various patterns, but
they are not constantly in use.

CONCERNING CLOCKS.

Never allow the clock to run down.
1t responds to regular attention Just
as surely as human being does and
keeps It's course truly when made to
follow its endless routine.
The hands of clock should always
be turned forward. To set the hands
by reversing the right-hand motion is
to loosen delicate screws that hold
them within reach of various cog
slips.
Never allow the clock to be moved
from the position where It is well ball
anced. A deviation of two or three
minutes day from the correct time
may be the result of an uneven
placing of the clock. and once 1t is
properly adjusted it should not be
shifted for dusting or for artistic pur-
poses. This is especially true OF
clocks that have a pedulum
