DEVICE TO PREDICT QvAKEs
"Creeps" Precede Temblors-
May Predict QuakeA

Oakland, Cal.-The University Of
California announces earthquakes may
be predicted with the same precision
as weather forecasts as a result OF the
discovery by A. @. Lawson, professor
Of geology, that earth movements are
the antecedent as well as the conse-
Quence Of earthquakes.
Observation of the earth's creep"
according to the announcement, will
enable scientists to determine with, ac-
curacy the forthcoming earthquakes.
1t is well known. according to the an
nouncement, that on occasion Of the
April (19O6) earthquake in California
there was a relative displacement Of
the earth's surface stratum on the two
sides of the San Andreas fault line
amounting in the Bolinas tCal) region
to as much as "a feet.

SCHEME WORKED OUT WELL
How Host Made Pretty Sure That
UnweIcome Guest Would Not
Attend Engagement Party.

The problem was how to invite q
certain young woman to the engage
ment party and still be certain that
she would decline to attend. She
was known to be killjoy, but II
she were not invited she would talk
of II.
About two weeks prior to the
party the couple managed to bring
together the young woman and a
masculine acquaintance of theirs.
After the proper introduction the in
nocent young man and the young wo-
man were left alone.
The following week the young man
received two theater tickets from his
acquaintance who was to be engaged,
who said lie would not be able to use
them himself. Three days later the
young woman received an invitation
to the party.
"He's nice fellow" ran part Of
the letter in answer ito the engage
ment party invitation. "and he has
asked me Ito accompany him to the
theater on the very evening Of your
party. would like to come to your
party. but gave him my promise
before I received your invitation, so
you see how ills: do hope you
will excuse me."-New York Sun.

..r.r. sor "sai,or."

''Togo's tars" and Jap Tars" are
phrases that have proved irresistible
to the makers of contents bill and
headlines. 1t is curious that, while
the use of "tar" for sailors" Is as
familiar to everybody as this indi-
Gates, there Is not unanimity of opin-
ion as to the origin thereof. Some
dictionaries make the allusion to the
seaman's tarry hands ard clothes
the "sayor Of tar" of Stephano's
song in "The Tempest; and 1t may
be noted that Burns u3es "tarry-
breeks" as equivalent tc sailor"
But it is much more probable that
tar" is short for "tarpaulin." since
Clarendon and other writer's collo-
quiaiiy use "tarpaulin" to signify E.
seaman. OF course this ultimately
gets back to tar, tarpaulin being a
tarred ''palling." or covering (the

Postoffice as Debt Collector.

POStofiice as Debt Collector.
A debt-collecting agency which is
run as a part of the regular postal
system is the newest Improvement"
Of the postofices of Austria. Despite
the novelty Of the enterprise the
plan has worked admirably, so that
thousands of pounds are collected
annually by the postmen throughout,
the Austrian empire. The system Is
very simple. Suppose tradesfnan
in Vienna has an account due from
. customer in, say, such a distant
town as Budapest, which he wishes
to collect. Distance does not matter
in the least. He merely sends the bill
to the postofflce in the capital,
whence 1t Is at once transmitted to
the postoffice at Budapest. There the
postman presents 1t to the debtor,
collects the cash. and RENTS 1t to the
tradesman by postman. In the event
OF payment being refused. which, Of
course. sometimes happens, the cred
itor is promptly aDpTtsed Of the fact,
and valuable time 10 thus frequently

ELECTRIC WELDING GROWING.
Special Advantage-It Economics

1lIlc anu l1NUOKs
The making of wire fences in
continuous rolls is the latest deyel-
opment in automatic electric weld
ing. A number of galvanized iron
wires are fed to the machine paral-
lei to each other and from another
reel placed transversely to these
wires lengths of wire are cut on
and fed horizontally across them.
Where the horizontal and vertical
wires intersect small transformers
weld them together, after which the
wires are moved forward and the
operation repeated.
The application of electric weld
Ing by the American process, now
attracting attention in England,
promises to be greatly extended as
soon as the projects for the installa-
tion of large electric power stations
supplying current at cheap rates
come into operation. The introduc-
tion of this system has already
caused a complete modification of
existing methods of manufacture
and in some cases created entirely
advantages over the ordinary forge
or gas blow pipe are the facts thct
finished work can be welded and re-
paired without damage, the opera
ton may be watched as it proceeds.
and the work is done with great ra-
pidity, few seconds sufficing for
most work, and in small pieces the
weld is made almost instantane-
ously.
Tests showing the almost perfect
homogeneous weld obtained give
ratio of weld to solid of 9.19 per
cent. for electrically welded iron
bars, compared with 1913 per cent
for the best hand work. The cost
of the fuel is about the same for
either process, but the rapidity of
the electric operation effects great
saving in labor.-Chicago Tribune.
