We have lately heard much of tho wonderful manner in which earth quake disturbances are registered very often at places remote from their center of activity. Thus the seismograph invented by Prof. John Milne, and kept at his home in tho Isle of Wight, has been known to re cord earth vibrations which had their , origin at the other siue of the world. Tho main feature of the instrument is a slender rod of steel about a yard long, which is attached to a solid upright, the two being arranged like a mast and boom of a ship. At the ends of this delicately balanced hori zontal rod or pendulum is a tiny plato of brass with a slit in it parallel with rfaio boom itself. This crosses a simi lar slit at right angles to it in the top of a box which contains a slowly traveling ribbon of sensitive photo graphic paper, and by means of a lamp and mirror a beam of light is sent through the crossed slits onto the paper below. So long as the boom remains perfectly still tho record traced on the paper by the light takes the form of a continuous line; but when the delicate rod is caused to vibrato the line is interrupted by lat eral thickenings. As the paper tape is marked with hours and minutes the exact time when any earth dis turbance takes place is plainly indi cated. USE PINEAPPLE. To Cure Diphtheria and a Slice Will Remove Any Corn. Pineapple, in virtue of its active principle,' bromtetiu, has consider- J able virtues as a proteid digestive. 1 The texture of the fruit, however, is such that its übdigestibility more than offsets this virtue. Dr. Wyatt Wingrave, however, finds that the ex pressed juice has a powerful solvent action upon plastic exudate, such as diphtheria membrane. This can be demonstrated in vitro, and though, owing to the shortness of contact, its solvent action on membrane on tho throat is necessarily slight, ho finds that it exerts a decidedly soften ing effect on tho stringy exudation, so as to admit of its easy detach ment. He also uses with success a thin slice of pineapple, applied for eight hours, as a means of softening the horny epidermis of corns, ready for removal. Within liis own special province he has employed the juice usefully for softening the horny papillae in keratosis of the tonsil— Therapeutic Gazette. 1 Long Hair .

Nevius Kay, bis young wife, nine seamen and "Whiskers," the cat, of the British barkentine Flor ence B. Edgett, arrived at. New York recently from St. George, Grenada, on the steamship Grenada. Tlie barken tine sailed for Buenos Ay res from Bear River, N. S., on August 13. with 500,- 000 feet of spruce deal. She ran into a hurricane on September 18, and in an hour's time was dismasted and dis mantled. The crew stuck to her until 1 October 15, when they set sail in a life- , boat. Ten days later they arrived at Grenada, having sighted not a single 1 vessel until the night before they land ed at Genada. "Wc were in latitude 17.00 north ! and 39.30 west longitude when the hur- , ricane struck us," said Captain Ivny. "The winds, which were northeast, had \ been increasing on September 17, and the next morning while I was shorten ing sail a heavy squall struck us and carried away a lot of canvas, started ] the deckload and carried away the port 1 bulwarks. The gale increased, and in 1 half an hour we were flooded fore and 1 aft, the skylights were broken and the ' deckhouses stove in. Then the mizzen ! mast snapped off at the hounds, and * it wasn't long before the mainmast 1 and foremast followed suit, carrying 1 away the starboard lifeboat, the head 1 gear and jibboom and splitting the ' forecastle. Tho after cabin was full ! of water, and It was impossible to get about the deck. Two men wore sta tioned at the wheel. The men's chests were broken open and floated about the cabin, the chronometers were smashed and the provisions were soaked. All the ship's papers and what money I had were lost. "When the hurricane had spent Its force we fixed up a jury rig with the aid of the stumps of the main and the mizzen, and we made a little headway until October 14, when the rudder was carried away, leaving us helpless. The next day, the remaining lifeboat hav ing been repaired in the meantime, we . decided to take our chances in the little boat. "The boat had a twenty-foot keel and two masts. We carried a forestaysnil, a foresail and a spritsail for a main sail—just like a Chinese junk. Nobody had any belongings to take away from the sliip, and our only cargo was fifty pounds of bread, fifty pounds of salt beef and about thirty-five gallons of water. 1 fixed up a cabin for my wife, so we were all fairly comfortable, al though, on account of being so close to tlie water it was very hot. "We made good headway, having the advantage of tlie trades, and logged as much as 140 knots a day. For our dally rations we had two quarts of water and two pounds of bread. Some of the men were sick, but nobody grumbled. My wife stood the hardship better than any of us. The watches 1 went* divided as on shipboard, and wo were constantly on the lookout for some vessel. I have been sailing In ! those latitudes for twenty years, but that is the first trip I ever made with out sighting something. | "I had a compass on board, and 1 I verified my bearings by the North Star, j When the compass had deviated a half point I judged that I had made about half the distance to tho mainland, so 1 slcgred a straight course for the coast of South America. The night before we made St. George we saw three steamers some distance off, but could not attract their attention. The next day we made the harbor, and when our little boat was rowed in a big crowd of Africans was lined up on tlie shore. We got dry clothes, somebody photographed us In a group, and live,or six churches took up a collection for us that a mounted to .575 or more. Those natives never saw a ship wrecked crow before, and whenever any of us went out on the street a big crowd would collect aud follow us around." The Florence E. Edgett was built at i Digby, N.

Bnrnhnm, the American scout, who | was Lord Roberts' chief of scouts, was j one of the most interesting figures in : the South Africa-,-, war. Some of his j adventures are as thrilling as tho wild- i est Inventions of the writers of dime j novels, differing only In the important j respect that they are true. Mr. Fred- j crick Unger, the American war corre- j spondent. relates one of tliem in his ' book, "With 'Bobs' and Kruger." j Burnham once allowed himself to be : raptured and led into Do Wet's camp, j hoping to got information and then es cape. He concealed bis Identity, but j was betrayed by another prisoner, a I British officer, who, in spite of Burn- j ham's signs, stupidly called him by | ltnnve. A special guard was immc- ! } dlately placed over him, and on the I march he was put into a trek wagon. I closely covered except in front. An - armed driver sat on the sent, a guard ; rode at each side and one behind. ! Learning from the conversation of his j guards that when they reached the railway lie would be sent on to Pre- I torla by train, lie knew he must escape ! thou or never, lie kept awake at night and watched bis chance. It came when the driver got down to give some directions to the native boy leading the oxen. Burnham crept up on the seat, from which he slipped down to the cart, tongue, and from there he slid quietly to the ground, prostrate under the cart, which passed over him. The guards on the sides could not see. but those behind might. He lay still, preparing to endure even the trend of a horse and not give a sign. The night was dark. The horses of tlie following cart stepped carefully over him, and their riders just hap pened not to look down. The next cart, drawn by oxen, wns some dis tance behind, and before It came up Burnham rolled swiftly to the side of the road, where he lay until the cart passed. Then, before another came up lie bad time to roll several hundred yards into the night, and was for the moment safe. But now his escape was discovered. The column halted and lights ap peared. Horsemen rode up and down the line, shouting and firing shots. Other horsemen rode over the veld, and several came close to where Burn ham wns lying. In the darkness he looked so like a lump of grass that he escaped notice. Had his pursuers waited till daylight he would have been taken. AftPr a while the column moved on, and Burnhaui rose to his feet and struck off southward for Bloemfon tein. He spent two days and nights on the veld, hidden by day on the sum mits of kopjes, from wlileli he could see Boer scouts, evidently on the look out for him. At last he succeeded In reaching Bloemfontcln, after forty eight hours without food. He had gained Important Information from the cureless conversation of his guards aud had accomplished his purpose- The Leopard-Slayer. A recent writer in Chambers's .Tour nnl gives an interesting reminiscence of his official experience in India. As lie sat outside his tent one day he heard wild erics, aud an orderly dashed up, crying excitedly that a. wild leopard had invaded the cavalry lines. It had killed one horse and stampeded a hundred, and the sahib must come at once. Hastening to the spot he found the leopard dead on the ground, sur rounded by a crowd of men, six or seven of whom were standing close beside the body with naked swords hi their hands and the swaggering air of victors. Only one of the men did not swagger and his sword was the only one which had blood upon it. This man stood aside while the others rushed up claim ing to have slain the creature, and only after they had finished speaking stated quietly that ho had killed it, as it had killed his horse, and that they had only come up after it was dead. They wished to share the reward of fered by the government for killing dangerous wild beasts. lie asked re spectfully for an investigation, which was promised. But in conversation at the dinner table that night it appeared that the leopard was probably not a wild beast at all, but an escaped cheetah, or trained hunting leopard, belonging to the local judge. The next morning its owner accompanied the colonel to the lines, where ho immediately Identified the carcass in the presence of the regi ment, which stood drawn up waiting for the award of the Government boun ty to he decided. Then he turned to the colonel and said in an angry and accusing voice, "Please order the men who killed the fall out." Only one man, ITazara Slug, came forward, out of all the previous claim ants to the honor. "Are you the man who killed my [ leopard?" asked the judge. "Yes," answered he, steadily. "The leopard came into the lines, leaped on my horse's back and began tearing its throat open. I drew my sword and cut It down with one blow. My horse died last night, and I am now a beg gar, having no money to purchase an other horse, which would cost me fiOO rupees." (The native cavalry provided their own mounts). "Well done, my man," said the judge lo the amazement of the listeners, who i liad expected an outburst of wrath. "Come up to my house and I will make | you a present of .the amount you will need to buy another horse. I will do this because I consider you to bo a brave and truthful man." I The braggarts of the bloodless swords got only the ridicule of the regiment, i both for their hasty claim and its hast j ier withdrawal, while ITnzava Sing i bore afterward the nickname of the !

For nearly a century thousands of feet every month have pressed the present pavement on the river side of the Louvre, in Paris, and as many eyes have looked on it, and yet, strange as it may seem, not until the pavement was quite recently repaired were huge letters discovered that take up the entire width of the way. Now, when attention is called to them, outlines of repeated initials of two sovereigns under whom the palace was largely increased can be plainly seen, and there they will be allowed to remain, though the pavement all around them he re-aid. These paving stones are supposed to have been put down by Lefuel when he laid the pave ment, and in front of the Pavillion Lesdiguieres they are so arranged as to form two large letters "H," evi dently in memory of Henry IV., who finished the long gallery west of the southwest corner of the original quad rangle. Two letters "N" are in front •if the Pavilion Tremoille, initials that lecall the great Napoleon, whose vic tories in Italy gave him the spoils of its works of art in the beginning of the last century, that were placed in the Louvre, which under his direction was restored and completed and made the repository of the art works of France.

Germany's new 1 meat inspection law goes into effect, necessitating the erection of many new buildings for use as inspection stations, etc.. and among the experts , employed will be microscopists, vet erinary surgeons and chemists, en tailing a preparatory expense that gives tho law a stamp of permanency. It is believed that the inspection will \ materially retard the importation of , meats, which amounted to over $7,- ' 000,000 in value last year. It is re [ ported that butcher's associations [ have within the past two months held . many meetings to devise means of ' stopping the continual decrease in tho supply of live stock available for their L use. The sale of fresh meat to the , laboring classes is steadily decreasing, which accounts for the gain of over , .$1,200,000 in the importation of fresh , and smoked fish last year, as com pared with 1900.
