EARTHQUAKE PROOF.
A lactor That 31usl He Considered In
Jiifir An ltltcct urc.
Tn nil countries where earthquakes
nrt f coiniin'n occurrence tin- art of
eoiistructin-.' buildings in such a way as
to resist tin- t-tT. i t of the shocks has
bet n studied, anil, as always happens,
xpi'1'ii'inv lias proved tin- best teacher.
An extraordinary opportunity to com
pare tli." strength of buildings thus
made with others h-nlt after the ordin
ary Kuropcaii fashion was furnished by
X'-- terrible earthquake in .hipan last
October, says tin' Youth's Companion.
Prof. John Milne, one of the foremost
authorities ti the subject of earth
quakes, has studied the effects of this
.Treat shock, which dest n cd over forty
thousand houses, and reports that "in
manv places so-called "fort ;r.i build
ij. rS ,,( brick anil stone, undoubtedly
put up in flte llimsicst manner, lie as
heaps of ruin between Japanese build
in -js yet st.tnilin.u'."
Some of tin- Japanese east li s and t".n
ples escaped, though sit nated within the
district when tlie shock was mast dc-s-tructivc.
l'rof. Milne attributes this
in tin' case of the castles to t heir pyra
midal form and to the iao::ts that sur
round them, and in the case of the tem
ples to the multiplicity of j.'ia's bc
twciTi t'.i' roof and tin- support in;.' col
umns, t ho Hfct t of which was to prn-
(luce
has' et-!i!:o y iclilirj.-'' v. hen tic
temples were shaken hy the eiirt';-.-quakc,
thus preventing tlu breaking of
the walls.
In some of our western .states where
torna -Iocs occur a similar problem is
presented, and so far no method of co!i
struetin:r a house that will enable it to
resist the tornado s fury has been in
Vented, and the only ait 'malice has
Won to t'"S underjroiu.d cii;:irdcrs near
the houses, into which families can iioe
for safety.
Probably a Japanese wo-.dd consider
one of our tornadoes as a thit: far more
to lie dr adi'd tlian
his native country.

bo.vs: line sar.d is then permittetl to fall
slowly across the blast of air, which
theiehy in two minutes, the time of the
test, drives the sand into any open
joints or into the depth of the mechan
ism if it is much exposed. The pun is
then removed and wiped carefully with
tlie bare hand, also blown into and
cleaned, just as a soldier who suddenly
o'oes into action would do with a pun
ho has carried on a du-ty march. The
piece is then fired twenty shots. This
test is then repeated, the ma;ra?.ine lie
in;.' ihnrpvtl liefore exposing the run to
the dust: the cartridge and the run are
then wiped as Ik-fore and the run atrain
iir.-d twenty rounds.

Sti-phen Vail, the son of the Alfred
Vail so closely identified with early tel
egraphy, says that on May 1. 114, his
father lelerraphcd from Halt imore the
news that Henry ("lay had Ih-ch m nni
lKitctl for tin' next -president. Mr. Vail
al:v says that the lirst real niessye
t ran-.iiiittcd ly U lefrraph was sent over
three miles of lioiiiict wire, stretched
around tbe walls of a hire-!? room on the
second floor of the now historic factory
at thti Speedwell irtni works, Morris
town, N. .1.
The tlate was January fi, ls:;s. On
that day a new set of instmineiits was
put tip and tests wore made in the pres
ence of distinyuishod rniest-s. All per
sons were then convinced that Mr.
M orse and Mr. ail liatl laid the
foundation of a wonderful discovery.
Itut it was not until live years af
terward that the liill appropriatini
thirty thousand dollars for tlieir inven
tion passed the senate and was signed
by the president.
