JAPAN's PAcoo4s.
They Are Built to Resist the Shock Of
an Earthquake.

an EdTtnquafos
A remarkable fact in Japan is that
pagodas built hundreds Of years ago
embody tho principle of tho modern
seismograph, which is to minimize the
effect OF earthquake motion by the
combination of an inverted pendulum
with an ordinary pendulum. or. in
other words, by the union OF stable
and an unstable structure 10 produce a
neutral stability. which renders the
whole building least sensible 90 earth
quake shock
In the hollow well OF every five stor-
led pagoda a heavy mass Of timber is
suspended freely like an exaggerated
tongue, from the top right to the
ground. but not in contact with it, and
st the shock OF an earthquake this
large pendulum slowly swings and the
structure sways and then settles back
safely upon its base.
This is also the principle followed in
the construction OF all bell towers
throughout Japan, where the bell acts
as pendulum. and the roof. supported
BY posts. forms an inverted pendulum,
as in the seismograph.
When an earthquake occurs pagoda
or a bell tower may be rotated or dis
placed. but II cannot be overturned as
whole.--Wide World Magazine.

NEW VIEW OF
WOOD|LL TRAGEDY
Eastman May Not
Have Been the
Murderer.
TELL TALE BOTTLES FOUAD|
However the Suicide Pawned
the Slain Woman's Jewels
and Was Implicated.

St. Michaels', Md, June 2S.-The in
quiry by the coroner's jury was con-
tinued today into the cause of the
death of Mrs. Edith Thompson Woodill
and the jury seemed to place consider
able credence in the letter of Eastman
that the woman was killed by woman
in the party at Eastman's bungalow,
who used bottle for a weapon. Sew
eral bottle found on the premises seem
to indicate that part of the letter by
Eastman, that the party out for "a
time" were in the bungalow on the
night of the murder The fact remains,
however, that Eastman pawned Mrs.
Woodill's jewels in Baltimore and ex-
hibited roll Of money several days
after the murder. 1t is also thought
in some quarters that Mrs. Woodill had
given Eastman money on different oc-
casions. An inquest was held at the
bungalow within a few yards of East
mans grave. It is believed that East
man made preparations to escape
when told not to leave the county pend
ing the investigation and was then
caught. Mrs. Eastman has begun pro-
ceedings to get control of the property.

Special to The New Mexican.
Roswell, N. NJ, June 2S.-J. B, Trot-
ter, aged So years who has been res
ident of Roswell for twenty years,
committed suicide this morning in the
Palace saloon by taking an ounce of
carbolic acid. He swallowed the
poison in the presence Of several by
ISLANDERS and was dead in eight minu-
tes. He had been drinking for some
time to excess and had become gloomy
brooding over property losses and the
loss of a woman who had promised
to marry him and turned him down on
account of his drinking. He was for
merly a prominent contractor and
builder and furniture and undertaken
here. He was a member of the pres
ent petit jury of the district court on
the regular panel.
He attempted to buy morphine this
morning and later bought an ounce of
carbolic acid from the Pecos Valley
Drug Company, who notified the po-
lice.
James Champion, who questioned
Mr.. Trotter, and the chief concluding
that he was in his right frame of
mind, did not demand the drug from
him. He has lately made threats OF
self-destruction and shortly before
taking the acid, he told the bartender
V. l.. Arnett, that he intended to wind
it all up. The verdict of the coroner's
jury was suicide. He had $244.45 on
his person.
