Warns of Ouakes

+ A remarkable instrument that trans
lates the slightest tremors OF the
earth into sounds that issue from
loud speaker is the recent invention
Of a japanese professor, DR.. Jun
Shida Of Kyoto university. 1t is de,
signed to give warning of the APP
proach of earthquakes, says Popular
Science Monthly.
The possible usefulness of the in
vention lies In the assumption that
most severe earthquakes are preceded
by slight shocks. Thus an audible
warning Of slight tremors would give
people time to leave homes and office
buildings before the arrival Of de-
structive quake.
The invention consists Of peRdu-
lum, an electric coil and an amplifier.
The pendulum is so delicately poised
that it responds to the slightest yibra-
ton. When it is set in motion, cleo
trfcity is generated in the coll, which
actuates sound-producing device.
The sound is amplified and issues
through a loud speaker.

GIRARD HAS ROYAL
REVENUE FROM COAL
Easily Richest Educational
Institution on Earth.

Girard college royalties on coal last
year amounted to S3,860O00, says
"Girard' In the Philadelphia Inquirer.
But last year the consumers paid
about 81, 100000 for their anthra-
cite delivered into their coal bins.
Wiping out that royalty would be like
dipping a drop from bucket OF
water.
Years ago the Girard estate stopped
spending its coal royalties The estate
managers, which Is the Board of City
Trusts, wisely decided that coal in the
ground is capital.
When that capital is removed from
the earth its equivalent in dollars
must be Invested to take its place.
Otherwise the estate would some day
have spent its great resource of rev
enue.
Coal royalties for years past have
been invested and only the interest
on that investment is spent.
Last year the value of the Girard
estate increased almost Sill, 100000,
which inspires Walter G. Gold, a
graduate of Girard college, to give
other interesting figures.
Girard college is now, as it has
been from the beginning, the richest
educational institution on earth.
At the start OF the present year the
four biggest college endowments In
the world stood in this order:
GIrard-$ 72, 10000
Harvard 100000.
Columbia S56, 100000
Yale-$40,O00,00 900.
Stephen Girard died ninety-four
years ago, and his fortune Of about
$8OO0,0OO was the largest then in
America. More than $7,00O,000 of that
was set aside for the creation and
maintenance of Girard college, which
the old banker directed to be built on
lines carefully set down by himself
No other college in the world was
then worth anything near $7000,000.
The figures show that 1t still leads,
although enormous gains made by
/ Harvard and Columbia may soon re-
Move Girard from first place
This college for fatherless boys, of
whom there are now more than fifteen
hundred students, has had a unique
record.
A Girard student is not only edu-
Gated free of all cost, but his food and
clothing are provided free from the
day he enters until he graduates.
Thus Girard college has sent into
the world many thousand well trained
youths and at the same time multi
piled its capital from about $7,O00,0OO
TO more than ten times that sum.

Granite as Fertilizer.

Farmers everywhere. but especially
in New England, know that granite
powders are not good in titled land.
Yet, according to conclusions that
have been drawn by government ex-
perts from certain experiments, pow
dered granite may prove valuable
fertilizer. Granite contains potash,
and 10 so good for land that America
imports potash salts from Germany
at about 500 ton. The imported
salts contain only twice as much pot
ash per ton as certain GRANTEES which,
it is thought may be ground at a cost

To Test Old Tradition

Near Ullensaker, in Norway, Is q
grass grown and tree-grown tumulus,
'eRaknehaugen," 80 feet high and over
300 feet in diameter, Legend says 1t
contains the remains OF an unknown
king, lying in stone chamber, upon
couch between two white horses.
In 1870 an attempt was made to open
the mound, but after several perilous
falls Of tons of earth and sand the
excavators abandoned the work.
Archelogists are preparing to make
9 fresh attempt to test the truth OF
the tradition.
