65ellcats Seismographle instrument
Shows That Buildings Salute
Twice Each Day.

London.-~As q result OF q series of
experiments recently carried out by
Professor Milne. the pioneer of mod
ern seismology, 1t is now known that
twice each day at high tide the build
Ings along opposite sides Of tidal ba-
sins salute each other.
The experiments were carried out
at Bidston observatory, near Liverpool,
one and half miles from the sea,
with modified form of seismograph
designed to record tidal effects and
the more minute movements which
other seismographs would not or not
often record. The instrument re-
corded photographically, a tilt on the
pillar supporting it causing a definite
detection on the film.
From the very first the instrument
gave very clear and definite records
of the strange effect of the tides.
Twice a day the recording needle
swung in one direction, showing that
the steepness of the hillside on which
it rested was increasing.
At high tide the be dof the Irish sea
became depressed from an increased
load, and the effect of this was to pull
the shores together The amount of
this change was not very great, al
though much greater than might have
been expected At Bidston the amount
of detection was about equal to one
inch In sixteen miles.

lumber, and during 1909 shipped 49,
900 cars of shingles and $4,000 cars of
lumber. The lumber and shingles to-
tailed 1,S00,000,000 feet Over 1,20e,-
000,0 feet of lumber was sent to for
etgn parts and to coast towns, and
this, added to the home consumption,
or 1,600,000.000, makes the annual pro-
ductton of lumber by the sawmills of
the state total over 6.O00,000,000 feet.
One-half the area of the state of 49,,
600 square miles is timbered. TIE
timber Of the state would make a
plank road three inches thick and 500
feet wide around the earth. It would
load 100000 cars Of 100000 feet
each IS feet long, equal to 85,227
miles of trains. These cars would
reach nearly three and one-haIf times
around the world.
A six or eight-room house for live
people each requires about 10000 feet
OF lumber. The timber of this state
would build 100000 such houses,
which would be sufficient to house
one-LnLFu Oh Ine population OF the
United States.
The density Of the forests of Wash
ington is unequaled in any other SEQ
ton of the world. In Clallam and
Chehalis counties, according to Off
cial estimates, the entire timbered
area runs 100000 to the square
mile. The stand on smaller areas is
phenomenal In Clallam county one
acre was recently found to have 300,-
900 feet of standing timber.
A Pacific county mill cut 500.00d
feet of logs from little less than
two acres. The logs average from
10000 to $4,000 feet each, and would
present a serious problem to the mill
equipment of the timbered section Of
the upper Mississippi region.

RUSSIANS LIKE u. S.

but Mr.. Nelidoff does not deal with
this aspect of the question.
He sticks to hard facts and these
show him that while the emigration
from Russia formerly consisted chief
ly of Jews, Films, Germans and Let's,
pure Russians now take the first place,
Poles and Let's occupying the second.
In 1907 our Russian writer found on
Ellis island Russians from the gov
ernments of SmoIensk. Mogileff, Cher
nigoff and Volinsky. Now he finds
them from the central governments
and even from beyond the Volg. The
emigration Is kept up by the emigra-
ton companies, who are as active in
Moscow as they are in Tokyo and who
have behind them American manufac-
turers, hungry for cheap labor.

Emigrants Favor This Country in
Preference TO Siberia.
Problem Engages Attention Of Able
Muscovite Writers and Econo-
nists, Who Advise Authorh
tie to Check Outflow.

St. Petersburg the question OF
emigration and immigration consid'
cradle change has come over the
world during the last forty years, new
countries being more careful about the
sort of immigrants they receive and
old countries being more concerned
about the sort of emigrants they part
with. Forty years ago the British
government looked on emigration
much as the doctors of those days
looked on blood-letting. Now 1t looks
on emigration, even from Ireland, as
blood-letting. Russia is now beginning
to do the same, judging from series
of articles entitled THE Future of
Russian Emigration to America"
which has been appearing in the
Noyoe Vremya of st. Petersburg, from
the pen of Julius Nelidoff. Mr.. Nell
doff, who has personally investigated
this problem for many years in Amer
ica, thinks that the Russian govern
ment should do all in its power to get
its stream of immigration directed
toward Siberia instead of toward
New York, and that If a section of
the Russian immigrants Insist on GO
ing to America in any case the Rus
sian authorities should do all In their
power to make that section consist OF
men who will come back and in due
time enrich their fatherland with the
experience. the money, the knowledge
of agriculture and Of industry which
they have picked up abroad.
He fears, however, that the stream
of emigration which is flowing Amer
icaward cannot be stopped and he cal
culates that 1t will soon consist of
half q million persons yearly from
Russia alone AS he also calculates
that the British, German, Italian and
Austrian emigration to America will
shortly fall to insignificant figures, 1t
is probable that this great wave of
Slavonic immigration will be the last
great billow of the kind that will
strike the United Statse. 1t would be
interesting, therefore, to speculate on
the effect which this addition of Slav
blood will have on the ultimate Amer
lean type. 1t will probably make that
type more dreamy, philosophical and
artistic and consequently improve it,

Dives to Escape Bees.

York, Pa.-Walter Dashler, a
Wrightsville youth, Ieaped into the
Susquehanna river the other day to
escape the stings of swarm of bees
which he had attempted to hive. He
could not swim, and was taken from
the water barely In time to escape
drowning.
Dashler undertook to hive the bees,
which had settled upon a tree. In
stead of entering the hive, the bees
buzzed about his head and body until
tortured beyond endurance by their
stings he made rush for the river
and dived in.
There he was rid of the bees, but he
was beyond his depth.

Tidal Effects on the Land

In thus securing measurement of
the detection caused by the tide Pro-
fessor Milne has succeeded where
others have failed. Many years ago
he showed that our ordinary, appar-
emily stable English valleys opened
when the sun fell upon them and con-
tracted during the night He also
showed that apparently the whole of
the Isle of Wight tits up at high wa
ter owing to the greater weight Of the
water in the English channel as COM
pared with that IN the Solent.
His latest work is the complement
of earlier research and tends to show
that the earth is a great deal more
elastic and responsive to pulls and
strains than is commonly appreciated.

Customer-Yes, I did. But I'm not

lend only one-third the value on any
article, no matter what it is.

A pawnbroker might not lend you
quite the actual value Of your jewelry,
but he will lend himself a great deal
more than the article is worth, and
then give the ticket to friend to ad-

drift of what mean?

satisfied until he has paid at least
three jewelers. one dollar each to tell
him that he has been robbed.

takes ring out of stock, puts it up In

fake name, indicating that on
