A vice is always worst when it is
not recognized as a vice, when men
are not on their guard against it.
The Romans thought cruelty manly.
We sometimes think hypocrisy to be
virtue and religion. We do not
greatly love life and enjoy it. But
oh, how we fear death. This makes
men mean and cowardly and teaches
a low philosophy of petty cunning,
selfishness, even graft. 1t destroys
joy and all that health Of the mind
which cannotget along without joy.
So we think we are doing right
when we are doing wrong-and we
call it prudence. A man always
afraid Of death is no good at all
like a bird in a cage He will never
go up against anything or do any
thing unless fear compels- No doubt
the fear-of-death man makes up the
largest part of the "near-rational"
suicides.

CURIOUS BIT OF MECHANISM
Earthquake Shocks Are Recorded by
Means of Horizontal Pendulum
Seismograp h-How Done.

Earthquakes are recorded by means
of the horizontal pendulum seismo-
graph The best example of horizontal
pendulum in every day use Is COM
mon hinged door. The earthquake
strument is a heavy weight pivoted
delicately on frame, which Is swung
at an upright hinge-line, so that the
faintest movement in the post will be
communicated to the frame. A light
lever with pen, at the outer end OF
the weighted frame, makes on paper
moved by clockwork magnified rec.
ord of the movements of the earth's
crust. The pen Is bristle, and the
paper Is glossy and smoked, SO that
the record Is scratch. The weight
tends to stand still as the earth waves
move the post, and the pen writes an
autograph of the movement which
takes place about the weight as a CEN
ter. Every second an electric ticker
connected with clock scratches a
mark on the side of the moving paper,
so that the exact time Of any earth
quake autograph may be calculated.
Let us stop moment to watch what
happens when an earthquake wave
passes through the earth. The weight
is still, the pen is lightly in contact
with the paper, and as the latter
moves by clockwork there is left writ
ten a straight line. Slowly, as We
watch, the writing finger moves side
wise, and begins to make little wave
marks. This lasts several minutes.
Then the pen begins to creep out until
it Is very slowly scratching long,
sweeping zigzags. In the course of
half an hour this slowly diminishes.
Not single tremor has been felt. The
waves passing through the ground
were too broad and slow for sensation,
but they have come thousands of miles
from a place where walls were falling
and people were rushing frantically
into the streets.

INCUBATION OF FISH EGGS
German Method of Matching Out OF

With Trout and Salmon.

Matching fish eggs out of water may

true that the most important stage OF
the Matching may be passed out or

considerable simplification of the
Matching apparatus. The method has

salmon eggs and has given excellent
results.
The eggs, thoroughly washed, are
spread to an even thickness on trays
about inches square and but II inch
thick, says the Popular Mechanics.
The bottoms of the trays are
formed of cloth, made fast to the I'M

trays hold about 1000 eggs each, and
