IxtNimfy High Om Do Not Hovo tho
Qrowtoot Vibration*.
By day or night a modern city jb
never .wholly, at .rest. A hundred
disturbing factors are constantly
^fitting up curious vibrations which
{fcavel in every direction. The trac
ing out of these vibrations and their
Accurate measurements is a new
problem among builders which has a
Sfeculiar interest for the layman as
'ell. This problem of feeling the
pulse of buildings is not limited to
great cities, but often nrises in com
paratively small towns throughout
the country. Let a train rush past
the foundations of a high building,
or even a low one, or a powerful
windstorm beat against its walls,
and the entire structure may vibrate
like a giant tuning fork. Inciden
tally the problem is so well under
stood that accidents from excessive
vibration are practically unheard
of. The cradle may rock, but it
never falls.
The measure of the pulselike vi
brations is made much the same as
that of an earthquake and almost
(is accurately. The marveloufljf
delicate instruments which are de
pended upon for these records trace
curious pulsing lines, which show
at a glance just how wide an arc
the building swings through and
how regular is the recurrence of the
movement. These readings are ac
cepted in court as absolutely con
clusive, and it is not uncommon for
damage suits involving immense
sums of money to be decided by
these delicate tracings.
Public opinion is all wrong, or
nearly so, as to the amplitude of the
vibrations of buildings both large
and small. Every one has felt such
vibrations, but one’s sensations are
apt to be very misleading. It is a
surprise to many that the most vio
lent vibrations are not felt in the
extremely high buildings, as is com
monly supposed, but in the com
paratively low office buildings, and
as a rule these of solid construction,
A vibration of three-sixteenths of
in inch is extremely violent, for a
movement of onediundredth of an
inch is readily noticeable. As the
reeords show, there is a peculiar
method or rhythm in these move
ments, the building swaying back
and forth through a given arc with
the regularity of a pendulum.—
Christian Herald.
Good Aediori to Hurry.
The trials of a musical accom
panist are many, if we may credit
all the stories told of them. A young
professional recently played accom
paniments for the performers at a
private entertainment for a fash
ionable charity lasting for nearly
two hours.
“Here, you see, I have no chance
to take a breath for ten bars,” said
the amateur time player, indicating
to the accompanist a passage in his
opening solo. “There are a num
ber of such places in my solos, and
if you’ll hurry the time whenever
you come to them it will be a relief
to my wife, for all my family are
subject to apoplexy and I’ve already
had one slight attack.”
Valley Forge Rewritten.
The record l'or inaccuracy about
things American would seem to be
long to ^L’it-Bits, a London weekly
of large circulation. The following
startling statement appeared in an
article on Christmas day battles:
The famous battle of Valley
Forge was fought during the War of
American Independence on Christ
mas day in 1778. The English were
preparing to enter Savannah. They
had already confiscated most of the
good things in the neighboring city
of Philadelphia, and the American
army, in none too good a plight, met
their foes on this memorable day
and sent them to the right about.— -
Boston Globe.
Hard to Tell.
“Old Rocks, the multimillionaire,
is feeling awfully depressed.”
“What’s the matter?”
“Why, he made a bad investment
last summer and will lose $10,000.
It breaks him all up. Says he
knows he’s on his way to the poor
house. I pointed out to him that he
could lose $10,000 a year for 1,500
years without coining to the end of
his pile. And what do you suppose
he said ?”
“Give it up:” '
“He said, ‘And what will happen
tp me then?'” — Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
Respect at Laat.
“Brieflcigh is, I tiiink, one of the
greatest lawyers in this state.”
“Why, I heard you say once that
you didn’t consider him any good.”
“Oh, that was years ago. He
used to give me pointers on legal,
matters without charging me any
thing because we happened to have
offices adjoining each other. Re
cently he has been, charging me a
stiff price every time 1 have gone
(to him for advice.”—Chicago Reft
