THE sEIsmocRAPH.

From Washington and from verious
college observatories in the United
States and from points in England,
Germany and Italy are reported rec
orus by seismograph of the earth dis
turbances which brought Wednesday
disaster to San Francisco. On the
Isle of Wight at the laboratory OF
JOHN Milne, the inventor of modern
earthquake measuring instruments,
even the approximate location of the
trouble was indicated.
In it's simplest form an earthquake
indicator might be a tray with
notched edges so filed with mercury
that shaking of the earth would
cause an overflow in the direction of
the movement. In the instrument
used by science the pendulum is en-
ployed, vertical by some Italians,
horizontal by the Japanese, English,
most European and American observ-
ers. A movement of the earth affects
everything but the pendulum, which
is so freely hung as to remain sta
tionary, and a recording device makes
the result visible. Of old, with the
vertical pendulum, sharp point drew
the profile of the movements on a
blackened surface. Photographic pa
per in moving strips serves the mod
ern instruments.
The horizontal pendulum turns on
vertical axis and carries at its ex-
tremity heavy weight which earth
shock does not reach. In the Milne
seismograph platinum sheet at
tached to this weight has a slit inter
secting at right angles a slit in a Sec
ond sheet underneath. 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 be-
comes crooked according to the
strength of the shock A clock
work arrangement with shutters and
light times the disturbance.
The instruments are so delicate as
sometimes to indicate shocks no
men have felt. The records which
they made of Wednesdays disaster
cannot fail to inspire a new popular
respect for the achievements of mod
ern science.

Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts
Hands Pinned Down-Miracu-
1eus Cure by Cuticura
when my little boy was six months
old. he had eczema. The sores extend
ed so quickly over the whole BODY
that we at once called in the doctor.
We then went to another doctor, Out
he could not help him, and in or de-
spair we went to a third one. Matters
became so bad that he had regular
holes in his cheeks, large enough to put
a finger into. The food had to be Civ
en- with a spoon, for his mouth was
covered with crusts as thick as nm
ger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chest and back, in short the
whole body, was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night
Whenever he was laid in his bed we
had to pin his hands down: otherwise
he would scratch his face, and make
an open sore l think his face must
have itched most faarfully.
1--WE finally thought nothing could
help, and | had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-
rope, hoping that the sea air might
cure him; otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But
Lord be blessed. matters came differ
emily, and we soon saw a miracle. A
friend of ours spoke about Cuticura
We made a trial with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and ReSolvent, and within
ten days or two weeks we noticed a
decided improvement. Just as quickly
as the sickness had appeared it also
began to disappear, and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely well,
and his skin was smooth and white as

ton the fact that Minnesota has four
times the population of South Dakota, we
record made by the Prohibitionists in
this state in 1905.-Beacon Light.
We are glad to increase the Joy
of our South Dakota comrades ana
they are doing magnificent work under
the leadership of Quincy Lee Morrow.
But there is big postscript to be
added to the Annual Report of the
Minnesota Committee which appeared
in our January issue and from which
our contemporary quotes. 1t was i'm
possible to make a complete report
at that time nor can we do so at this
writing.
The $6427 given as the receipts OF
1905 is only the amount of cash which
actually passed through the hands Of
| the State Committee. 1t includes only
part of the collections of Messrs
Stewart and Calderwood and other
| field workers on pledges and OF the
proceeds of their basket collections.
Daily itemized reports of these and
other collections are sent to Head
quarters. The total cash receipts OF
the year doubtless exceeded $4,000.
The Annual Statement did not give
the amount of pledges taken during
the year. They ran over $4,000. They
have usually footed up $4,000 to $1,000,
and once to about $4,000.
Nor was any statement made OF the
pledges to Backbones Free Circula
| ton Fund or the receipts thereon

We heartily wish the women of the
state were accorded the legal right to
pulverize the saloon. So says the Pro-
hibition party also both in heart and
in it's platforms. Our noble women
need not however sit down and spend
their days in mourning over the rights
of which they are deprived. They
have still many an opportunity to hit
the saloon and hit it hard. We are
thinking just now of the splendid
chance they have to aid in rallying
voters to the State Convention.

THE PLATFORM.

What kind of a platform will the
Prohibitionists of Minnesota adopt
this year? Will it indicate any trend
in the party toward either broader
or narrower platform? Will it re-
fleet the recent nationwide movement
against graft and Doodle and for the
enforcement of law because it is law?
Our men should be thinking about
these things. We want no cut-and-
dried business in our party affairs.
The platform of 1904 included planks
favoring equal suffrage, public control
or ownership, the initiative and refer
andum and the election of the presi-
dent and United States senators by
popular vote; also a plank opposing
unjust trusts and combinations and
one denouncing the attempted suppress
sion of minor parties by that provi-
sion of the Minnesota election law
which requires exorbitant fees and the
sworn signatures of an unreasonable
number of voters in order to have the
names of candidates placed upon the
official ballot.
