r SENSITIVE SEISMOGRAPHS. I , They Serve Other Purposes Than Recording Earthquakes. Contrary to popular belief, earthquakes are by no means raio occurrences. As a matter of f.-K't, practically ali places on tlie surface of the earth experience some kind o( tremor or shake at least once an hour, and lesser tremblings are even more frequent. This fact has been established since the opening throughout the world of stations where seismographs record the slU .lest movement of this earth of ours. The seismographs can l>e made to ferve several other useful purposes besides the recording of earthquakes. Some of them are so delicate that a railroad train running a mile away will affect them. Seismograph records have frequently been produced in court to show that the operation of heavy machinery produced sufficient vibration in near by buildings to make the owners of the factory liable for damages. Probably the most unusual purpose to which the seismograph has ever been put is that of determining the amount of vibration in a locomotive as a result of unbalanced driving wheels. Engineers have devised some ingenious methods of cutting down this vibration. which means a greatly decreased consumption of coal.?NewYork American. TALKING FROM THE CHEST. Not Necessary to Put a Telephone Transmitter to the Mouth. In case one does not care to stoop to a telephone while talking, or does cot "care to put the transmitter to the mouth, he can make himself heard by very simple means. Simply place the abdomen or the chest against the mouthpiece of the transmitter and talk into the open air, and the sound will get to the party on the other end. The whole chest wall and the wall of the ' abdomen vibrate in unison when the 1 mouth is speaking, as they are a great sounding board, and they will transmit the proper sound waves to the diaphragm. This is easy to try and astonishing in result. Another peculiar thing noticed in telephones at times is phantom talk heard in a receiver when one is waiting for central to give connection. Odd j fi^rnns nf conversations mav be heard ' in this manner. They are probably j due to conversations going on overwires lying in close proximity to the, one that you are using?such coover- j sations causing small oscillating cur-1 rents which, by tlia process of indue- j tion. cause small oscillating currents . to take pla e in your line of like character.?New York World. Few Beds In Bagdad. About per cent of Bagdad's pop-; atetion possess no beds. These poor j people rest ou blankets spread on the floors of rbeir douses in the winter j and on the roofs in the summer. Owing j to the exressive heat of these regions ?lM?n is iinoossible elsewhere I than on the roof or in the ojH?n gar- j dens. It is :in interesting sight to see; fcow the women at sunset emerge from ' their houses to prepare bhe evening! meal on the roof and spread the Ix.'d- j ding for the night. Inasmuch as the, climate is very dry, there is little to! fear from exposure to the night air. j While a considerable number of the J roofs are surrounded by latticework j to insure a certain amount of privacy,, by far the larger number are quite ex- j posed to the gaze of curious and in-j <juisitive neighbors.

Half a dozen men in the lohhv of n ; New York hotel were ttie j frequency of revolutions and ! ations in Mexico and other Latin- Amer- j ? ican countries. A short, dumpy little ; * i Englishman, who had a cold, gray eye. j told this: In a countrv which we will call Du- ' | mala there was a president whom we ! will call Harera. He had made it the j , custom, oy omcia: prociainauuu, iur : the guard of honor, whicL consisted of sons of prominent families of his coun- m j try, to present arms whenever he || emerged from the presidential palace. ?j While the men and officers presented | arras, the standard bearer raised the ^ : great flag and exclaimed: / i "Viva Harera!" I People who wanted Harera put out : ^ of business bribed the standard bearer ! ? ; acd six members of the guard of Donor 1 o i to assassinate him. The plan was that, j when he came out of the palace the standard bearer was to hold up the i flag, shout "Viva Dumala!" and throw i cc ! the heavy banner over the president- , j While he was knocked down and blind- s. | ed by the folds of the flag, the six ' traitors were to shoot at him. i pf 1 A f f ^ /\ n rkrv/\ir\ f a/^ f ! rr> / * tJ n rrvr?o rvi m tut: auuuiiiicu ljllic uaicia lame W out The standard bearer, holding his ; , : flag aloft, shouted "Viva Dumala!" and ; * i hurled the banner over the president, ?? the folds of it enveloping him and " throwing him. The traitors, seeing him helpless on gi ! the ground, fired at his head under ' to | the banner. That was where the plot j pi | went wrong. j pi As Harera went down under the ' re weight of the falling flag, he had the presence of m-ind to lie flat on his back I i and hold one of his ari^ straight up : C<j j from him, thus suppoitlrg the flag! ^ ! and giving the impression that his fist ! ; was his head. The only wound he re* ! M ! ceived was one bullet through his i | hand. h The traitors, having figured that six ' of them shooting at him would be sure to | to kill him, did not have extra car- j w tridges When he stood up and threw j ~~ off the flag their companions arrested j ? them. "You must have your hand dressed," j suggested one of the officers, seeing j the blood flowing from the president's { wound. "I'll do that," said Harera, "as soon j as these traitors have been executed." He had them lined up in front of the palace and gave the word that resulted in their death from a volley by their companions. After that he went n into the palace and had his wound ^ dressed, all of which indicates that the gentle art of being president in Latin America calls for quick thought and speedy action.?Popular Magazine, P Tennis as n Test.
