A New Seismograph.—A despatch from San Francisco, dated August 4, to an eastern paper, says that Prof. A. O. Leuschner, director of the observatory of the University of California, has invented a new type of seismograph, one that even indicates the effect that the tide has upon the earth, and is quoted as saying, "The tide was not known to have depressed the shore previous to the earthquake. I believe we would have known it, however, if we had had the new seismograph in operation then. In my opinion the same condition always prevailed." This, the professor tells us, is no cause for alarm because it has always been known that the earth is elastic. We wonder if the next thing we hear will be that the earthquake itself was caused by the tide. We wonder what theories men will have and what seismographs will show when Ps. 46:1-3 is fulfilled.
