NOTE DISTANT EARTHQUAKES
Observations Made at Isle Of Wight
and In Austria Confirmed Next
Day by Telegraph.

An interesting example Of the way
In which modern seismographs record
earthquakes occurring at distance Of
many thousands of miles Is afforded
by a recent occurrence. Professor
Milne at the Isle Of Wight, Eng, no
ticed shocks whose point of origin was
about eighty degrees distant, CORE
spending to the distance of Japan, San
Francisco and Mexico He thought 1t
probable that the true point was in the
east. At the same time Professor Be-
lar, at Laibach. Austria, noticed the
shocks. and declared that the center
of the disturbance must be about three
thousand seven hundred and fifty
miles to the east. The next day the
telegraph brought the news Of great
earthquake, which had occurred at the
time of the observations in Baluchis-
tan, Asia, the town Of Belput having
suffered severely.

Classic In movies"

Within the last year there has been
much activity in the producing Of ia
nous books and modern stage sue
cesses as motion pictures. but 30 far
few attempts have been made to put
the classic English dramas on the
screen. There Is therefore consider
able interest in the production Of
"She Stops to Conquer" as a motion
picture. To put play in which there
is such a constant succession Of bril-
liant dialogue into the silent drama
seems rather startling at first. but.
Judging by reports. the scheme has
proved a success.
The film was first shown in London
a few nights ago, and dispatches state
that several of the most conservative
London papers reviewed rho work
favorably. 1t will probably be I'M
ported and shown In this country at
an early date, although deanste infor-
nation on this p.,s.. i. cot available

INSTANT DEATH IN CREvASSE
One of the Tragedies That Seem In
separable From Antarctic
Exploration.

Tragic was the fate that overlook
two of Doctor Mawson's companions
in the course of their recent explora-
lions in the Antarctic. This account Is
taken from the Geographical Journal:
AS regards the disastrous sledge jour
ney from the main base with Lieuten-
ant MINIS and Doctor Merz, Doctor
Mawson says that his object in under
taking 1t was to dash as far east as
possible 30 as to ascertain the nature
of the land in that direction. The
three men had the assistance of 16
dogs in dragging load of over seven
teen hundred pounds. On December
IA. 1912, the party were in IS degrees
81 minutes south, 151 degrees 35 min
utes east, having covered a distance of
211 miles. The track had lain over
plateau heights and crevassed glacial
depressions, the totals of the ascents
having reached 5000 feet. All we're in
the highest spirits, as prospects
seemed good for a further advance
over an unbroken plateau at safe dis
lance from the crevassed coastal down
falls. The day was beautiful one
and Doctor Merz was leading on ski,
Doctor Mawson Following with the
first dog-team, while Lieutenant Min
mis- brought up the rear with the sledge
containing the most vital necessaries.
Unexpectedly the faint outline of a
crevasse crossing the path was no
ticed, but both Doctor Merz and Doc
tor Mawson crossed without hating or
regarding II as cause for anxiety.
''The latter called back 'Crevasse!'
to Lieutenant MINIS, but on looking
back soon after saw nothing but a
blank expanse of snow and ice. Has
tening back, the two travellers found a
yawning abyss, and at length dis
cerned an injured dog caught on a
ledge, but no trace Of their comrade,
who must have gone down to the in
visible depths below-certainly to in
slant death. After calling for hours
without answer, they read the burial
service and started on their return,
with only one and a half weeks food
flor themselves and none for the six
emaciated dogs. There was saved also
a spare tent cover, for which frame
was improvised out of pair Of ski
and theodolite's legs.
"The food was strictly apportioned
to the distance to be covered, but bad
weather was encountered and the dogs
gave out daily, until soon none was

Leo H. White is to play comedy and
dramatic parts. Mr., White will be
remembered as the leading comedian
with the original Merry Widow" COM
pany. He was later a member of the
Gay Musician" a musical comedy,
which played In New York for two
seasons. Leo's experiences have been
many and varied; among the most
comical is the following: II joined

way through to the end. The people
who saw the show thought it was
great. A few nights later we reached
Civilized town with the big popula-
ton OF 5000. The manager of the
opera house had some idea of the
artistic quality Of our company, and
refused to let us play. Jack O'Brien,
the well-known prize fighter, happened
to be In town, which. by the way,
was the town of his birth. He came
to our assistance by agreeing to give
a boxing exhibition after the last act,
providing the manager of the theater
would allow us to play there. II we

managed to pull through for the night,

Spaca and Eyesiuht.

When we speak of outer space, the
space between star and star, as be
ing empty Of matter, 1t is rather in
teresting to see exactly what we mean
We know from observation on the
planets that light, in its passage across
space to our earth, suffers hardly any
absorption, and from this fact we can
deduce conclusions respecting the den
sity Of such matter as exists in outer
space.
If the degree Of rarefaction in outer
space is, for example, in the neigh
borhood of the one hundred-millionth
part of an atmosphere, the appear
ance of Jupiter. for instance. would
be as If our atmosphere had twice its
present opacity. So that such matter
as exists must be in a much more
rarefied state But after all these
terms are only comparative.
Suppose our atmosphere were al
lowed to expand up to the limits of
the visible universe, as far as the
milky way, then its raefaction would
be such that it would be quite impos-
sible, by any optical means, to detect
the presence of any matter. Neverthe-
less, there would be about five thou
sand molecules per cubic centimeter
throughout space.
