equipped as to indicate the time of
the disturbance.
Second is the seismOmeter, the func-
tiOn of which is to measure the maxi
mum force of the shock, either with or
without an indication of its direction
The third instrument is the seismo-
graph, which is so arranged that It
will accurately record the number, sue
cession, direction, amplitude and
period of successive oscillations. The
last instrument is by far the most
delicate of the three.
In the construction of this earth

must so suspend a heavy body that

dictionary force will be developed

position. The inventor has never been
found who could accomplish this Sus-
pension of a. body to perfection. The
seismograph of to-day. however, has
reached a stage Of perfection where
close approximations are obtained i'm
the records made.
The complementary part of the in
strument is composed of a system Oe
levers connecting an astatically sus-
pended body with various surfaces
that are moved by clockwork. These
surfaces are constructed of highly SEN
sitlve material. on which needles play
as the suspended weight responds TO
the vibrations of the earth's crust.
The most elaborate of these ma,
chimes are capable of recording the
vertical and two horizontal motions
of the earth in the case of a seismic

in 1879 with twenty-six members. SO
slow was the growth of the movement
at first that in 1889, ten years later,
there were only eleven churches.
From that time, however, the increase
was more rapid. In 1899, there were
301 churches. There are now 657
churches and 275 societies not yet or
ganized as churches. making 932 So
cieties holding church services. In
1889 there were only $50 members in
the entire connection. In 1894 the
total membership was 2,536. Five
years later it had reached 1874.
These figures show that the principal
growth has taken place during the
past seven years. The membership at
the present time is about 1900.

The dedication in June of mag
nificent new addition to the Mother
Church of the Christian Science de-
nomination, in Boston, was an event
of the highest Significance in the his
tory of this religious body.
Built as the result of n spontaneous
recognition of Mrs. Eddys life work and
of the imperative demands of the mar
vclous growth of the movement, ex-
pressing the liberality of thousands of
Christian Scientists, and embOdying
the best in architectural design and
modern construction, this new building
was logically the central feature of
this years gathering.
The church is one of the largest, if
not the largest in the United States,
its seating capacity being 5,012. Its
style of architecture is Italian Renais-
sance. The pews and other interior
hniShings are of mahogany. The
walls are Concord granite and Bedford
stone, with beautiful decorative carv-
ings. The inside finish is a soft gray
to harmoniZe with the Bedford stone
columns supporting the dome. The
height of the building to the top of the
lantern is 224 feet, just one foot higher
than Bunker Hill monument. The
dome is eighty-two feet in diameter
and is covered with terra Gotta to
match the Bedford stone. The build
ing presents stately, dignified and
Impressive appearance, and it is al
ready recognized as one of the land
marks of Boston.
The cost of the building is some
thing less than $2,000.OOO. The new
chimes consist of eleven bells. the
largest of which weighs 1000 pounds.
The smallest bell weighs 400 pounds.
The organ is one of the largest and
finest i'm the world.

adjoins the new building seats about

V HE world is full Of hospitals, not

not? Dolls have ailments as well as
other folks-in fact, rather more SO.

WILL TRY MILKING MACHINE.
At the College-Seyeral now in US,
in Oregon-Claim it is Cleaner.

The milking machine is to be
the subject Of test at the college.
One is to be installed at the barn in
the near future, and it will be kept
in operation year. The purpose
is to test its efficiency and practic-
ability. A dozen or more cows will
be divided into two herds, receiv-
ing like attention, equal rations
and the same sanitary care. One
lot will be MIXED with the machine
and the other in the good old fash
loned way, the milk product of each
bsing carefully noted and account
ed for. In making the division Of
the cows care will be exercised to
get proper balance as tothe milk
yield between the two lots. The
outcome of the test ought to estab-
lish the value of the machine to a
certainty.
The machine has its supporters
and its opponents. All new things
have both of these. Some say the
milk from the machine will show a
reduction of unavoidable filth com.
pared with milk taken from the COW
by the hand. The machines are
literally used now in the state of
New York. Four or five of them
are in use in Oregon. mostly at the
big dairies along the Columbia.
