him as his representative, and he prov

THE SElSMOGRAPH.

How the Earthquake Indicator Re-
cords the Shocks.
In its simplest form an earthquake
indicator might be tray with notched
edges so filed with mercury that a
shaking of the earth would cause an
overflow in the direction of the move
ment. In the instrument used by sci
ence the pendulum is employed, verti-
cal by some Italians, horizontal by the
japanese, English, most European and
American observers. A movement of
the earth affects. everything but the
pendulum, which is so freely hung as
to remain stationary, and recording
device makes the result visible. OF old
with the vertical pendulum a sharp
point drew the profile of the move
ments on blackened surface. Photo
graphic paper in moving strips serves
the modern instruments.
The horizontal pendulum turns on q
vertical axis and carries at its eXtrem-
ity heavy weight which earth shock
does not reach. In the Milne seismo-
graph platinum sheet attached to this

angles a slit in a second sheet under
meath. In times of quiet reflected light
passing through both Sits makes one
point and prints straight line on the
moving bromide paper. When the
earth shakes the lower slit moves and
the line becomes crooked, according to
the strength of the shock. A clockwork
arrangement with shutters and a light
times the disturbance.
The instruments are so delicate as
sometimes to indicate shocks which no
men have felt.-New York World.

CUTTLE BONE AND SEPlA.
Where They Come From and What
They Are Used For.

Where They Come From and What
They Are Used For.
Cutie bone was once made use Of as
a medicine, but it is now used by gold
smiths as polish and by bird fanciers
as food for Gagged birds.
This cutie bone, so called, is no bone
at all, but very wonderful structure
consisting almost entirely of pure chalk
and having been at one time loosely
imbedded in the substance of some de-
parted cuttlefsh. 1t is an oval bone,
white and hard on the outside, but soft
and friable within, and is inclosed by
a membranous sack within the body Of
the cutie.
When the cutie Is living this struc-
ture runs through the entire length Of
the abdomen and occupies about one
third of its breadth. In weight cutie
bone is extremely light, and if it be
cut across and examined through a
lens the cause of the lightness will at
once be apparent. 1t is not solid, but
is formed of succession of exceed
ingly thin floors of chalk, each con-
pected with each by hundreds Of the
smallest imaginable chalky pillars.
Many persons attribute sepia, or Chi
nese ink, to the cuttlefish. They are,
however, in error, for sepia is manu-
facture of SCOT and fine gums. The err
TOR may be due to the fact that the
cuttlefish has an internal sac under the
throat, near the liver, that contains a
very dark natural ink. When pursued
by enemies the cutie elects this inky
substance and thereby forms a cloud
of darkened water all about it and
hides in this water until out of danger.

ANTIQUITY OF BEER.
This Beverage Was First Brewed BY
the Egyptians.

Beer is Of great antiquity. 1t was
manufactured first by the Egyptians
and afterward by the Greeks, Romans
and ancient Gauls. Beer was mention
ed by the following ancient writer's:
Tacitus, Pliny, Xenophon and others.
The Romans are supposed to have in
troduced the brewing of beer or ale, as
1t was then called, to the Britons, at
the time of the latter's conquest by the
former. The Britons continued the
brewing of barley malt, calling it ale,
until about 1924, when the Germans
introduced the brewing of hops with
the barley malt, calling it bier or, in
English, beer.
The history Of the New England colo
great beer drinkers and that for long
time every innkeeper made his own
beer. In those years beer wast the gen
eral and popular drink. In the colony
of Massachusetts its retail price was
fixed by law at a penny quart. Its
sale to Indians was not forbidden. A
law of 1919 ordered that every Wet
ualer or ordinary innkeeper should al
ways be provided with good whole
some beer for the entertainment of
strangers.
The laws of the colony always favor
ed the manufacture of beer, and even
as late as ten years after Massachu-
sets had become a state a law was
passed entitled, Gan act to encourage
the manufacture and consumption of
beer, ale and other malt liquors."
The act freed beer from all taxation,
but it came too late after a series of
fiscal laws which for revenue purposes
had made beer dear and led to the i'm
portation of cheap rum from Jamaica.

PINEAPPLES.
The Juice of This Fruit Is n Great
Aid to Digestion.

ala TO DIGESTION.
The word engine does not appear to
have any connection with pineapple,
yet it is the name of the chemical that
gives to the luscious fruit the remark
ably digestible property which it pos
sesseS. The prevailing notion that pine
apple juice is excellent for the diges-
ton is supported by medical testimony.
Eat a slice of the fruit after dinner,
say the doctors, and you will not suffer
from dyspepsia.
If you want to see what pineapple
can accomplish in the way of diges-
ton, you can easily test it on piece of
raw steak. The action of pineapple
juice on meat is to transform it into
jelly and then dissolve it when in the
human stomach.
Place a slice of the fruit on the raw
meat as it lies on a plate, and the up
per surface of the steak where the
fruit touches it will soon become gelat-
inous. Engine, the active principle of
the juice, can be obtained by throwing
salt into the juice, thus producing
precipitate.
4 good sized pineapple contains two
pints of juice, fact that gives an idea
of what a slice of the fruit will do for
digestion. If cooked, the pineapple
loses its virtue in this respect 1t may
be asked whether the consumption of
the somewhat woody fruit itself is ben
eficial or not, for that can scarcely be
easily digestible.
Without doubt it is the juice which
does the good, not the flesh of the pine
apple, but the property of the juice is
so effective that the eating of the fruit
itself can do no harm and may even be
beneficial, inasmuch as it takes some
of the strength of the juice to dissolve
it and so prevents the stomach suffer
ing from the too violent effects of the

Snow and Hail of aueer Co1ors.

Storms in which red, yellow and or
ange colored SHOWS fell were recorded
as long ago as the sixth century. Hum
boldt mentions a hailstorm which once
occurred in Palermo in which every
hailstone was as red as a globule Of
frozen blood. On March IA, 1913, there
was hailstorm in Tuscany in which
the individual stones were each of a
bright yellow color. In 1908 at Carnio-
la, Germany, they had a fall of Grim
son snow which was nearly five feet
in depth. Snow Of brick red hue fell
in Italy in 1916 and in the Tyrol In
1S47. In some sections Of Iceland
snow seldom falls to any considerable
depth without being composed of al,
ternate layers of frozen crystals of
different colors. There are arctic banks
of red snow which are so well known
to explorers that they are called the
crimson cliffs"
