Spring
Cleaning
You are made aware of the neces­
sity for cleansing your blood in the
spring by humors, eruptions and other
outward signs of impurity.
Or that dull headache, bilious, nau­
seous, nervous condition and that tired
feeling are due to the same cause—
weak, thin, impure, tired blood.
America’s Greatest Spring Medi­
cine is Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
It makes the blood rich and pure,
cures scrofula and salt rheum, gives a
clear, healthy complexion, good appe­
tite, sweet sleep, sound health.
For cleansing the blood the best
medicine money can buy is

Speaking of tin- Indian earthquakes
of 1897, a London scientist says the vi­
brations traveled to Europe, where they
were reeortltsl at very many stations,
iiutl no doubt would have been equally
well recorded at many o th er places oil the
surface ol' our world bail there been
provided sultuble instrum ents. The
prelim inary trem ors, which are prob­
ably waves of compression, traveled
through the world to reach Italy aud
other countries with au average rate of
345 miles a minute, or 0 kilom eters a
second—a ra te which, It will be ob­
served, is higher than th at at which
sim ilar m ovem ents can be transm itted
through glass or steel. The large waves,
which art* probably quasl-elastlc g ravi­
tation waves, t>y traveling over the su r­
face of the earth, reached Europe ut a
rate of 113 miles a m inute, or 2.98 kilo­
m eters a second.
It Is likely th at these latter d istu rb ­
ances reached stations lu Europe by
traveling from their origin In two direc­
tions round the world. As au Indica­
tion of this, we are told tliat at sev eral
of the European stations slight undula­
tions are to be seen on the seism ogram s
a t tim es we should expect to find sucl»
m arkings, had they traveled from India
to Europe by the longest possible route.
From the perlodof these waves, which Is
taken at tw enty-tw o seconds, anti their
velocity, their length m ay be Inferred^
an estim ate of which is thirty-four
miles; while their height, as deducted
from their length, and tlie m axim um
angle of tilting, is estim ated at tw enty
Inches.
T he slowness of the m ovem ent was
such th at they could not be felt, while
the m agnitude was such th at the u n aid­
ed eye of an observer would not be
able to recognize any differential m ove­
m ents lu his surroundings. The large
ness of these disturbances and their
great duration, extending over several
hours, preclude them from the category
of trem ors, vibrations or microsclsins.
