RECORD BY CARELESSNES:

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4.-The

cause somebody forgot to wind up
the instrument!
Part of the mechanism Of the
seismograph is a roll or chart, of
paper which revolves when wound
up like a clock and records a trac-
ing made by a delicate needle in the
event of a quake.
Because the janitor of the build.
ing, whose duty 1t is to wind the
"clock" forgot to do so, the needle
recorded only a dot on the paper
instead of a clear tracing, and the
biggest quake of the century was
lost to scientific study so far as the
Swarthmore seismograph is con-
cerned
