Ancient Earthquake Recorder.

Recent research has disclosed the
fact that a seismograph instrument
was in use more than 1000 years ago.
This original seismograph, as wrought
by the Chinese coppersmith, is des-
cribed as practical as well as unique,
the simplicity of its design affording
an interesting contrast to the compli-
Gated modern device. 1t consisted of a
pendulum suspended within a hollow
copper sphere The pendulum was free
to move in eight directions and on the
outer surface of the globe. correspond
ing to these directions, appeared eight
dragon heads. In the throat of each
was small ball which fell when an
earth tremor caused the pendulum to
swing.
Located at varying points on the
sphere also were the upturned mouths
OF frogs, and the ball. upon being dis
lodged from dragons mouth, fell into
one of these Thus. if the ball was
forced from the southeast side of the
instrument and fell into the mouth of
frog on the northwest. it was de-
duced that the shock came from the
southeast, proceeding in the direction
taken by the ball.

Nav Scan Ararat for Noah's Ark

There is possibility that an expedi-
ton may be sent out TO search for
the remains Of Noahs Ark The propo-
sition has been made in all seriousness
by Chicago man. who thinks the
cause of fundamentalism may be
strengthened or established by the 10
cation of the hulk of Noah's Ark hid
den away somewhere on Mount Ararat
where it landed, and where some Of its
remnants are likely TO be at this time
Well preserved specimens have been
discovered in other parts of the world
which are said TO be older than the
ark; why, then it is argued. is it not
likely that some of the ark remains to
be found. According TO the biblical
account. the craft was built Of gopher
wood. species OF cypress which is
largely free from the attacks OF fungus
and in addition TO this the boat
grounded on the mountain at a height
where the rarity of the air would check
decay The suggestion is made by
William H. Strong. who is an engineer
and an amateur aviator, and his plan
is TO make an airpIane survey of the
entire mountain from the air with the
hope Of discovering some trace Of
Capt. Noah'S craft. He says that he
will undertake to raise the funds from
Christian fundamentalistS, and eX-
poets TO reap no personal reward what
ever. If successful, however, he pro-
poses TO bring the ark TO this country
and make it one Of the features of the
proposed worlds fair in Chicago
IN 1888.

since toward the end of the week stocks
continued to advance sharply further

easily amount to 100 million dollars a

This is particularly significant at this
| time, for we know that the banks are
not likely to expand their credit facili-
ties except perhaps temporarily to meet
end-of-the- month or mid-March re-
quirements. Any permanent expansion
of brokers' loans will therefore have to
be financed by Others" Since there

supplying sufficient funds. It looks now
as If we were approaching, at least tenn
porarily, higher call rates over the
month end and the middle of March.
"Others" Must Finance Rise.
If stocks maintain their present rate
of rise, 'others" will have to furnish
funds at the rate of approximately
500 ,000, 900 week. This Is more than
they have ever been able to supply for

as they have the means, they can, by
refusing to lend their facilities during
seasonal peaks, cause temporary fare
ups in call rates.
In the stock market rise last Fall both
banks and "others" were increasing
their brokers' loans, but now If "others"
fail the stock market the Reserve banks
will be forced to demonstrate their
power to bring halt to rising stock
prices.
Aside from the credit situation. the
general market is now at levels where
it has met heavy selling pressure many
times before. Stocks will probably move
more erratically, some rising while
others fall, but with the average level
of prices moving forward more slowly.
Conservative observers know that the
danger of a sharp decline has by no
means been removed.

somewhat surprising to note that in
spite of a small decline in oil produc-
ton, the oils showed unwillingness to
follow the general upward trend. This
would seem to indicate that a much
greater curtailment in oil production is
needed before conditions in the industry
can improve rapidly.
Stock prices on the curb and on the
local exchanges did not advance as uni

Stock Exchange, and on some the gen.
