 Good conduct is another cardinal virtue for the graduates to keep in mind. Individuals and nations pros- per when they go by the rule of good conduct. The experience of ancient Rome proves that departure from that rule is disastrous.
 The graduates were advised to ob- serve well their splendid motto, 'Perge," and go on, press forward, but be sure to go forward on the right road.

Delicate Instruments.

Though the man in the street might easily mistake a slight seismic dis turbance for the rumbling of a trac- ton engine or an explosion, the mar velously delicate instruments which record earthquake shocks are immune from such deceptions. Sunk in the earth on solid foundations, the record ing pen of the seismometer ignores any local tremblings which have not a seismic origin, but the faintest real earth quakings, though they have trav- eled thousands of miles through the earth, set the pen tracing the telltale graph by means of which the seis- mologist calculates the place, time and magnitude of the happening.-Lon Chronicle.
