HOW EARTHQUAKES
ARE MEASURED
Crude Methods of Past Give Way to
Scientific Methods. ,
Washington, D. C., July .o.—The Santa
Barbara disaster has renewed endeators
of scientists all oveg-ihe world to fore
tell. with some degree of accuracy, the
coming of ■ great earthquakes.
Those terrible voncalinc upheavals are
already recorded, measured, and tabulat
ed by amazingly delicate instruments, but
all the devices possessed by science have
not as yet been able to predict when and
where the. overwhelming forces of Na
ture will next break loose.
Seismology, the | science of earth
quakes. is one of the oldest of (tpown
sciences, for when the Roman were sub
duing ancient Britain the Chinese com
pleted, an instrument designed to record
the shocks that so constantly harass parts
of the Far East.
This took the form of a eopper sphere,
about twenty-five feet round, with a loftg
pillar at the top which was suspended
so that it could swing in any one of
eight directions. The sphere contained
eight dragon heads. In the mouth of
each of these was placed a ball, so that
when the pillar was moved by any
trembling of the earth it would knock b
ball down, Ulus showing in which direc
tion the earthquake had occurred.
In early days in Europe a basin full
of treacle was psed as a seismograph.
When the earth shook the treacle moved,
and left a mark on the side of the basin
that indicated from which direction the
Ibstrvments, gre milch mire com
plicated “ nowaday*; and Shocks can j»e
recorded.jand measured in observations
fully mlWrtom the scene of tSc
disturbance, by means of the most up-to
date seismograph. This consists of an
upright column supporting without fric
tion '8 horizontal boom which sways ac
cording to the earth tremors. A needle
at the end of the boom is slit to allow
a spot of light to fall upon sensitized
paper, and this t&ows a straight line
when the instrument is at rest. When
then is any movement, however, the
light shows it, and a clockwork attach
ment records the exact time of each
“trembie.”
The place of origin of the shock is
located by the time taken for the shock
to be recorded, for there are three types
of earth “waves.” which rush outwards
at carying speeds. The observer knows
that if, say, 100 seconds elapse between
the -first, and second shocks, the- earth
quake is 1,000 miles distant, and so
on.
By means of records taken at two or
three different points," it is possible to
determine almost exactly where the trou
ble lies and thef area over which it op
erates.
At some of the big observatories both
in America and Europe something like
4,0000 distinct shocks are recorded ev
efy year, although, of course, nearly all
of these are very slight, most of them
being the result of disturbances beneath
the ocean bed.
Asia contains more thnn half of the
people of the world.

WHITE HOUSE IDEAL
ROOSEVELT FROTE
His Letter to Cass Gilbert Praising In
terior Style Sent to Coolidge.
Special to New York World.
Washington, July 9.—The appeal of
a President dead was jiassed this week
to a President living to preserve the
present interior style of the White House.
It was a letter written by Theodore
Roosevelt, then President, to Cass Gil
bert and the American Institute ofl'ar
chitects, and now forwarded to Calvin
Cocdidge. > ’'■• ■ n •!.. <
Roosevelt’s infiuenee lias been brought
into the struggle to prevent alteration of
the interior of the White House, us pro
posed by the commission authorized by-
Robert W. De Forest. He" urged that
the -present styly. jba. i uot, rt "marred or
changed.”
It Was learned at the headquarters of
the Institute of Architects that its mem
bers will leave no stone unturned to
prevent a change in. the French Empire
style, although President Coolidge ap
proves the proposed remodeling.
It is reiterated that nothing will be
done until September, but the support
ers of the plans worked out by Charles
F. .MeKim under the Roosevelt regime
fear that steps may he taken which
will compel a continuation of the work
as proposed by tire new commission.
ItooseVcit's lettei to Gilbert was writ
ten on December It), 1908. It reads:
“'Tile Wlirite Bouse now, within ani
W 'hout,,is literally the ideal house, for
the bead of a great Democratic republic.
“It should oe a matter of pri-fcj, tin
honorable obligation to the whole Xfhior.,
to prevent its being in any w.:y marred.
“If I had u in lay power, as I leave
office, I should like to leave as a legacy
to you and to the American Institute of
Architects, the duty of preserving a per
petual eye of guardianship over the
White House, to see that it is kept un
changed and unmarred from this time
on.”
Replying to this letter, Gilbert, speak
ing for the Institute, said in part:
“Your letter will be a treasured docu
ment among the archives of tjte Insti
tute, and will, as the need arises, be
locked upon as our charter and our au
tfiority for such defense of this struc
ture, growing stronger with the years,
until the tradition shall have been firm
ly established that the building must re
main inviolate from this time on.”
