WILSON'S STENOGRAPHER,
MAD AT BEING "B0SSED,"'
TEARS UP NOTES; QUITS

Trenton, y. j., Jan. H-Miss Salome
Tarr one Of the best of President-elect
Wilson'S stenographers, quit her job late
this afternoon because, she says, Corey
SVEN, who is the President-elects per-
sonaI stenographer. tried to boss" her.
Miss Tarr had just finished taking dicta-
ton in the State house from Joseph
T'urnulty. the Governors secretary, and
had gone across the street TO the Pres
ident-elect's personal headquarters to
transCribe her notes, when SVEN. who
is only nineteen years old. butted in,
she saws 1t is understood there has
been some jealousy between SVEN ana
Miss Tarr Sven is the third fastest
stenographer in the world, and Miss
Tarr ranks fourth or fifth, and has lot
of medals and diplomas for accuracy.
to boot. So when Sven told Salome
TO hurry through her work. she wanted
to know what business 1t was of his.
One word followed another. according
to the description by the rest OF the
staff, and Salome jumped up out of her
chair, tore up her stenographic book
containing Mr.. Tumulty's precious notes.
and stamped out OF the office. Word
was at once dispatched TO Secretary Tu-
multy. and Warden Johnson and May
Havens two other members Of the
stenographic staff. were sent as a COM
mittec to overtake the speeding Salome
and bring her back. They found her at
the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad station.
where she had gone to take train for
Jersey City, her home.
Mr.. Tumulty wants You to come right
hack" they said in chorus. ''Ill do
nothing of the kind" said Salome,
stamping her little feet on the station
pIatform. I'm through. l don't pro-
pose to stand Mr.. Swems nonsense any
longer. He is a stenographer. the same
as l. and he has no right to boss me-
Miss Tarr would give no further no.
tice TO the entreaties Of the committee,
and when her train came along she
boarded II.
Salome was a great favorite among
the State house folk. She is only about
five feet high, but is keen and smart.

MAKES RECORD or 'QUAKEs
Invention of Italian Scientist Is Said
to Be an Improvement Over
the Seismoqraph.

That the seismOgraph is not the
last word in the matter of being ac-
curate and immediate in recording
earthquake tremors has been proven
by the invention of an Italian sci
enlist, who, through a simple instru-
ment, by the aid Of Hertzian waves
has been able to obtain records Of
disturbances throughout the earth.
1t has been generally known that
earthquakes, besides giving rise to the
mechanical waves such as are regis
tered on the seismograph, also have
been the cause of great electrical dis
turbances in the form Of wireless
waves.
The invention consists Of a metal
filing coherer, which operates a bell
that acts as an announcer of the dis
turbances sought for record. This in
vention several times has registered
vibrations down in the earth at small
and great distances anywhere from 5
to Is minutes ahead of the best Seis-
mOgrapbS.
The United States government has
taken the device into consideration
and is about to have it installed in the
several bureaus where seismogra phs
have been relied upon for records.

would furnish the f. p & S. w. an
