eordins Earthquakes.
Contrary to popular behtS earth.
uuakes are by no means rare Wcur-
rences. AS matter OF fact practically
all places on the surface of The earth
experience some kind OF trrmor or
shake ut 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
Sill Itest 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
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 ia
BILE 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
a result of unbalanced driving wheels.

fous methods of cutting down this VI

OLDEST PARIS NEWSPAPER.
The Journal Des Dobats and Napo'
Icons Famous News Order.


The oldest newspaper in Paris, the
Journal dies Debats, was one of the
cluster of newspapers which sprang
into being with the beginnings of pop
ular government In 1883.
1t was founded by a printer named
Baudoin, and purported to be. as It's
name shows, mere chronicle OF po-
litical events. Owing to its pungent
criticisms of men and affairs IT soon
became one of the most influential OF
the Paris journals.
In 1905 the paper was compelled by
NAPOLEON to change its name ana De-
came the Journal de l'Empire. 1t was
in the course of the correspondence
which took place between Napoleon
and the editor, Fievee. ON the subject
of the threatened censorship that the
emperor gave the order which has be-
come famous, about the policy OF the
newspaper. that 1t should publish no
news unfavorable to the government
until the truth was so well known that
publication was needless
After Napoleon's retirement to Elba
the paper resumed its old title. 1t Is
still edited and printed in the house
where it was first started, beside the
church of St Germain de rAuxerrois,
from the tower of which the signal
was given for the massacre of st Bar

Eem Beds In Baqdad.

About to per cent of Bagdads pop
ulation possess no beds These poor
people rest on blankets spread on the
floors of their houses in the winter
and on the roofs in the summer. Owing
to the excessive heat Of these regions
sleep is made impossible elsewhere
than on the roof or in the open gar
dens. 1t is an interesting sight to see
how the women at sunset emerge from
their houses to prepare the evening
meal on the roof and spread the bed
ding for the night. Inasmuch as the
climate is very dry. there is little to
fear from exposure to the night air.
While a considerable number of the
roofs are surrounded by latticework
to insure a certain amount of privacy,
by far the larger number are quite ex-
posed to the gaze Of curious and IN
quisitive neighbors.

origin in England as Il direct outcome

which it was carried into effect-thr

And the Exact Ratio Of Gold to Silver
In the Year 1870.
Three mining engineers were gather
ed together the other day, and the
question as to the value of an old trade
dollar came up. Strange as it may
seem, no one knew its value, and there
was considerable haZiness as to the
exact value of an ounce Of pure gold
or of the old fashioned value Of an
ounce of silver. says correspondent
in the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal. Calculations which | made SEEM
ed to indicate that the ratio Of gold to
silver in 1870 was not exactly l6 to l.
Possibly 1t may be Of interest to the
profession to know the exact figures
which | have received from the assay
er of the mint bureau, United States
treasury.
Coinage value Of one ounce pure
gold is S20.671S34625. A convenient
fact, easy to remember, regarding this
figure is that forty-three ounces of coin
gold, 900 fine, are worth $500.
