Method of Locating Guns.

Science has discovered that gum
fire affects the earths surface much
as an earthquake, so it is not surpris-
ing to learn that guns are being To-
Gated by the seismograph-the DELI
cate little instrument which records
terrestrial tremors. An Austrian au-
thority on the subject of earthquake
disturbances announces that the seis-
mograph can record the position OF
hostile artillery as well as the caliber
Of the guns.
In a fairly recent engagement be-
tween Italian and Austrian troops on
the Isonzo, the tremors induced by the
heavy cannonade were duly registered
by the apparatus, and the operator
was able to detect, by means Of dia-
grams of artificial movements Of the
ground, the difference between the
shocks produced by the fall Of projec-
tiles and those caused by the recoil of
the guns. Moreover, the form of the
t,acingS revealed to the practiced eye
the number as we'll as the caliber Of
the latter.-POpular Science Monthly.

chemical analysis OF the contents OF

whether Atwood told the truth when

the reason she could not marry him
was because of her relations with
their mutual friend, Harris,
