If not you should get a pheas- ant, says Prof F. Omori, a Japanese seismologist writing in a recent bulle- tin of the Imperial Earthquake Tn vestigation committee, for this bird | 18 exceedingly sensitive to earth tre mors even when so slight as to be unobserved by humans. Observation of a pheasant in Ja pan during a period of about three years, in which 23 earthquakes were racorded on delicate instruments, showed - that it crowed either before, or during, every slight shock. Tn 34 per cent of the cases the bird crowed before the scientist’s machine record ed the quavers, beating the instrn ment by as much as 8 seconds, In 20 per cent of the occurrences the bird crowed simultaneonsly with sensible earthquake motion; and in another 20 per cent of cases the bird crowed when the motion was too slight to be sensible to the ohserver. In only five cases did the pheasant crow after the motion was recorded, and only once did he fail to crow at all The keen perception of earthquake occurrence by the bird is no doubt due to its acute sense, by which it is enabled mechanically to feel the small vibrations in the preliminary stage of the seismic motion, Prof. Omori says. It is known that earth shocks are preceded by preliminary tremors that are so “slight as to be hardly recordable. That the pheasant should be very sensitive and take alarm at the slightest disturbance, either natural or artificlal is probably a condition necessary to its existence, the scientist declares, as the bird with its lopg pointed tail and comparative- 1y small wings, has no high flying ca pacity and nestles on the ground among the thick nundergrowth It was observed, however, that the pheasant d1d not take alarm and erow when the ground was shaken by the passing of cars, heavily loaded trucks or wagons, or other artificial means. In Japan, Prof. Omor! writes, there is a general belief that pheasants per- eelve earthquakes much earlier than humans. Certain other animals show symptoms of terror at the time of, or previous to, an earthquake, he| adds, and cites several occasions when the musical croaking of frogs fn a pond ceéased just before or at the moment of a sensible tremor. Tf the shock be strong there is caused | A’ general noisiness, cocks crowing and dogs barking. A certain abbot was riding a horse mear a town that was visited by a shock, attempted to urge the horse to his feet, but all his whipping was in vain until the shaking was over. ELECTRIC SYSTEM IN BIG CHICAGO TERMINAL Total Cost of the Many Improvements Necessary to Expend $26.000,000 Chicago, Aug. 17.—A direct current twice as powerful as that of any other American electrification system is to he installed here hy the Illinois Cen trail roadroad when it electrifies its terminal on the laka front, according to announcement of engineers repre- genting the improvement organization of the system. The New York Central and the Pennsylvania at New York uge a normal current of 600, it was stated, while the Chicago system will carry 1,500 volts. Electrification will tequire a rev- olution of the terminal, the engineers say, as sub-stations, power houses, track grading and a new signal sys- tem must be introduced before the Chicago lake front becomes smoke- less. The tota} cost is estimated at $26,000,000 A saving of one-third the fuel is expected to result in suburban serv. ice alone, and the efficlency of mov- ing passengers and freight through the yards greatly improved Electrically operated trains are far | more economical than coal burning locomotives, according to the chief engineers. The coal can be consumed in power houses with big generators in a much more efficient way than when each locomotive must create its | own power. and to put it in operation, however, is infinitely more costly. The electrically operated trains will travel at the rate of 57 miles an hour, the engineers predict, not including the time for stops SEEK MORE POLICEWOMEN Astor Urges Government to | Have Mare Female Officers Lady Aug. 17 —Having won her fight for the non-sale of alcohol to minors, Lady Astor is now urging the British government to appoint more women “policemen Speaking cently in the house of commons on the salaries of the metropolitan po- | lice foree, she declared the present | force of women was totally inade- | quate Viscountess Astor said more women | police were needed in London for pa- | trol duty, and she appealed to the home secretary to increase their num- ber and widen their authority. | — | | London re The word “slang” is itself slang in origin and is supposed to be connee! ed with the English word “sling.

Geneva, Aug. 17.—There are 25 mil- lons of Hindu widows in India, who, owing to their religion, can never re- marry, Miss Isobel Frosham of the Church of England Missionary society told her hearers at a lecture in Gen- eva. Of this total, 174,000 widows are under the age of nine, and both old and young widows, especlally the lat- ter, are as. a rule very badly treated by theit relatives, who believe that in former lives their misdeeds must have been great to be thus punished in this life. When ill, these unfortunate wid- ows are not allowed to be attended by a male doctor. Miss Frosham therefore appealed to the Swiss Women's committee to send volunteer women doctors to India to look after this sorely tried class of native wom- en DOOMS KAISER TOWER Jerusalem, Aug. 17 The Kaiser Tower, which was erected on the Jaffe Gate here to commemorate Wil« helm second’s visit to the Holy Land in 1898, ig about to be demolished It has long been regarded by natives and visitors as an eyesore Stromberg Carbureor " A.
