 "The sound may be transmitted by wire or wireless tclegraphy," Dr. Shida explained. If such an ar rangomcut is made the expert in his laboratory would be informed of earthquakes in other parts Of the country instantly. This might lead him to discovering a means of fore casting earthquakes for any one place, If, for instance, a destructive earthquake should take place at Wakayama, the information would travel the 80 kilometcrs to Osaka by radio and be recorded four sec onds earlier than the arrival of the minor vibration in Osaka. The ma ior shock would not arrive at Osaka until seven seconds after the alarm had been given by my new inven- tiOn."

Tokyo, Oct. 2 tPD -- The reported invention ot an apparatus which will indicate ana earth quake is attracting the interest of Japanese scientists. The inventor is Nr. Jun Shida, a professor of th" kyoto Imperial university. The ap- paratus is intended to transform the lujtial earth trcmOr into a sound.
 The Nncw Contrivance consists mainly of a pendulum, an electric coil and an amplifer. The pendulum l., .o | icatcly poised that it is sus- c,pnule 10 the slightest horizontal or vertical motion. When it is set ir motion, electricity is instantly gen orated in the coil which affects an 9nparatus similar 10 the receiver on a telephone.

 What shall we do, Mr. Grabby?"
 You run home and get your lad der while I see the Raggedys do not escape. then I will climb up through the window and capture them and puff the magic powder upon them and make them do all the work, then you can move over here with me and we will just sit around in easy chairs and smoke our pipes while the Raggedys do all the work"
 "Oh" MT. Tinkie cried, that is fine, Mir, Grabby! I will run right home and get the ladder. Then when we capture the Raggedys we can make them wash and wipe all of my dishes and carry them over here"
 So MT. Grabby sat upon the front door steps, while MT Tinkie ran home to bring back his ladder. And the Raggedys looked at each other and felt quite sad.
