SENSITIVE SEISMOGRAPHS.
They Serve Other Purposes Than Re-
cordine Earthquakes.


Contrary to popular belief, earth
QuakeS are by no means rare occur
renceS AS matter of fast, practically
ali places on the surface Of the earth
experience some kind OF tremor or
shake at least once an hour. and lesser
tremblingS are even more frequent
This fact has been established since
the opening throughout the world of
stations where SeiSmographS record the
sli. test movement Of this earth Of
ours
The seismographs can be made to
serve several other useful purposes
besides the recording of earthquakes
Some of them are so delicate that a
railroad train running mile away will
affect them.
Seismograph records have frequently
been produced in court to show that the
operation Of heavy machinery produced
sufficient vibration in near by buildings
to make the owners Of the factory lia-
bic for damages.
Probably the most unusual purpose
to which the seismograph has ever
been put is that of determining the
amount Of vibration in locomotive as
result of unbalanced driving wheels.
Engineers have devised some ingen-
ious methods Of cutting down this vi
bration. which means greatly de-
creased consumption of coal.-New

In country which we will call Du-

will call Harera He had made it the
custom, by official proclamation, for
the guard Of honor, which consisted Of
sons of prominent families Of his coun-
try. to present arms whenever he
emerged from the presidential palace.
While the men and officers presented
arms, the standard bearer raised the
great flag and exclaimed:
'Viva Harerap'
People who wanted Harera put out
! Of business bribed the standard bearer
and six members of the guard Of honor
to assassinate him. The plan was that,
when he came out Of the palace the
standard bearer was to hold up the
flag, shout Viva Dumala!' and throw
the heavy banner over the president.
While he was knocked down and blind
ed by the folds Of the flag, the six
traitors were to shoot at him.
/ At the appointed time Harera came
out The standard bearer, holding his
flag aloft, shouted Viva Dumala" and
hurled the banner over the president,
the folds Of it enveloping him and
throwing him.
The traitors, seeing him helpless on
the ground. fred at his head under
the banner. That was where the plot
went wrong.
AS Harera went down under the
weight Of the falling flag, he had the
presence of mind to lie fat on his back
and hold one of his arms straight up
from him, thus supper tif & the flag
and giving the impression that his fist
was his head. The only wound he re.
ceived was one bullet through his
hand
The traitors, having figured that six
Of them shooting at him would be sure
to kill him, did not have extra car

off the flag their companions arrested
them.

suggested one Of the officers. seeing

He had them lined up in front Of the
palace and gave the word that result

their companions. After that he went
into the palace and had his wound
dressed. all Of which indicates that
the gentle art Of being president in
