Russian Prince lnvents New and
Ingenious Seismograph.
Wonderful Instrument Constructed by
Scientist Records Earthquakes,
However Distant Shock May
Be From Station.

st. Petersburg.-A wonderful new
instrument to record the motion OF
the earth produced by an earthquake
however distant from the recording
station, has been invented by the dis
tinguished scientist, Prince Galitzin
member Of the Imperial academy OF
st. Petersburg. BY the application OF
ingenious contrivances, the seismo-
graph gives an actual scale reproduc.
tion of the earth movement, unlike
other earthquake recorders, which
continue to vibrate under the earth's
initial movement long after that move.
ment has subsided. The new instru.
ment has been mounted at Eskdale-
muir observatory, Dumfriesshire
The following Is the official descrip.
tion:
Fundamentally the instrument con-
sists OF horizontal pendulum sus.
pended by wires, so that when the
framework, which is attached to the
earth by pier, is moved, the pendu-
lum is set in motion. In this respect
1t resembles other forms of seismo-
graphs, notably tnat OF Dr. Milne, to
whom indeed we mainly owe the
principle. In the absence of friction
such a pendulum would continue to
vibrate long after the earth move
ment has ceased, so that 1t is i'm.
practicable to attempt to determine
from the motion of the pendulum the
earth movement which produced it.
II, however, friction is introduced,
the motion Of the pendulum rapidly
subsidies, and, by suitably choosing
the amount Of friction the instrument
can be made what is technically
called dead beat" In this condition
the motion Of the pendulum is, except
in one or two very special cases, an
exact reproduction on certain scale
Of the earth movement.

server.
A mirror attached to the galvano-
meter reflects tiny dot of light from
lamp onto a sheet of Photographic
paper. The paper is attached to a
circular drum driven by clockwork,
so that If there is no earth movement
the dot traces straight line on the
paper. If an earth movement occurs
the dot is moved sideways and com.
plete and proportionate record of any
movement Of the earth is reproduced
on the Photographic paper.
AS no man can predict the direction
from which an earthquake may pro-
ceed, two pendulums with correspond
ing galvanometers are required to give
record of the effect coming from
north to south and from east to west.
Two dots Of light record the earth
movement on the same Photographic
sheet, and thus an almost cursory
examination of the record shows the
direction from which the earthquake
proceeded.
Precise measurement, combined with
principles already established, enable
an observer at single station to
assign with considerable precision the
origin Of an earthquake disturbance.
Thus Prince Galitzin at st. Petersburg
could say from his records whether
an earthquake occurred at Edinburgh
or at London.

FISHING TIME IN THE PASlG
Swimming In Myriads Near Surface
They Are Shared and speared
by Filipinos.

Friday morning Filipinos snarlng
cells and other fish in the Pasig near
the old captain Of the port building by
the aid of fish snares caught the
largest eel ever seen on the water
front. It was fully ten feet in length.
Both banks of the Pasig and all the
ships and lighters moored in the
stream were thronged with hundreds
OF Fflipinos with snares and spears
trying to catch the fish that in myri.
ads were swimming near the surface
of the stream.
Natives when asked in regard to
the phenomenon were almost unani
mously In their statement to the Of.
feet that at this time of the year the
bottom of the river gets hot and that
the fish have to leave the depths of
the stream and fash back and forth
on or near the surface.
Another theory that seemed to have
q great many adherents was to the ef.
feet that at this time every year
there was n change in the character
of the water, this change acting on
the fish as a stimulant.
This theory was advanced by an old
pilot who has witnessed the phenome.

chickens-not merely young chickens

significant that in Jersey farmers do

In order to see whether this expla,
nation would be supported by wider
information, Doctor Corner wrote to

Several other replies were similar in

tie are unable to escape breathing.
The doctor, who does not share the
general opinion that infected food is
one OF the principal causes Of tubercu
losis in human beings, looks at the
question from an agriculturist's point
Of view. THE first thing we must
do" he said. 'if we want clean cattle
Is to exclude poultry from the
meadows"
Perhaps the experiments, which are
now being carried out under the Royal
Agricultural society. in raising calves
from infected stock will throw some
light on the former point.

Opportunity of suffraalst.

Baroness Aletta Korff tells in one
OF the magazines how the women of
Finland came to vote. The fact is
that women had to show that they
could meet an emergency before the
vote came to them. They have not
had many opportunities to take the
initiative in the worlds history and
they have not always responded when
the opportunity came, but when a
crisis, such as that In 1904, when the
strike and the revolutionary outbreak
IN Russia took place at the same time.
occurred, they proved they could
make peace by doing 1t. Not until
England and the United States find
the women helping them to bear some
great trouble will they give them the
right to vote.
