Army Prisoners Who

Scheme
NE\V YORK. Oct. :3.——I‘olicc and
army authorities in New York and
adjacent States were co-opcrating
today in an effort to pick up the
trail 0! five military prisoners and
their two guards who tied yesterday
under unusual circumstances from
the prison reservation at Fort Ham—
ilton. Brooklyn.
‘ Major Ellery Farmer, acting com-
mandant of the military post, which
overlooks the lowcr harbor. learned
last night {or the first time that the
two guards had willingly accom-
panied the iugutivc prisoners and
had not been kidnapped. as was be-
lieved earlier in the day.
Details of the plot to escape were
given Major Farmer by the three
prisoners of the squad who had
elected to remain at the post and
finish their sentences rather than
take a. chance of escaping with the
rest or the party.
Guard Aggricved
The missings'guards are Raymond
Blair 0: Roanoke, Va... and James
Cooper, No. 1134 Franklin street.
Trenton, N. J.. both with three
years’ army service ahead of
them. 7
According to Major Fax-me. Blair
had been smarting under a repri-
mand he received Sunday. and early
Monday morning told some at his
prisoners that he was going to leave
the post and that they could ac-
company him it they wished. Blair
is believed to have induced Cooper
to join in the scene for a general
escape.-Cooper, it being said, hav-
ing also tired of army life. .
Blair and Cooper. each in charge
of tour prisoners. took their men to
the parade ground to haul of! rub-
bish.
Carry Guns Away.
According to the three prisoners
who declined to join the escaping
party. the two guards and the five
prisoners abandoned their mule
teams. ran to a. deep'ravine which
skirts the reservation, and troin
there. under cover .0: the sea wall,
fled across the aviation field. disap-
pearing in 'the direction of .Dyker
Beach Park. Blair and Cooper car-
ried their automatic revolvers. .
The prisoners were all "doing
time" for assertion or other intract-
tions of army discipline, and all had
several months to. serve. The five
hen who are missing with Blair and
Cooper are:

EARTHQUAKE camsxxas.
John “2 Evans. Imperial College of
Science and Technology. in Nature.
The recent disaster in Japan dem-
onstrates the importance 0: e av-
oring to ascertain if. there fa any
premonitox‘y indications of coming
earthquake shock which can be rec—
ognized and thus enable a warning
to be given of its approach.
It seems probable that the rup-
ture, whatever its nature may be.
that givesrisc to the actual vibra-
tory shock of an earthquake is
preceded by‘a strain or distortion of
the earth's crust. which gradually
increases till the stress that causes
it is suddenly released. The exist-
ence of this strain should be evi-
denced by a progressive sag or tilt
of the surface. local and minute in
amount, no doubt, but probably
sufficiently large to be detected; __
In the Milne-Shaw sesmometer the
vibrations proceeding from distant
earthquakes are recorded on sensi-
tized paper on a rotating cylinder by
a spot or light reflected from a mir-
Or coupled to the boom of a hori-
zontal pendulum. Ordinarily it is
only these vibrations that are taken
into consideration, but the same in-
strument will also indicate a. slow
tilt ot the ground provided that the
exact position ot'the spot of light
can be recorded and_meas'ured. ‘
‘aln some instruments recently con-
structed, one or which is being in<
stalled in Uganda. this is attested by
the use or a secondtstationary .mirror.
which thrpws‘another spot of light
in a. fixed position on thecylinder
and traces a. straight line‘ on the
record. ' ’
If there is a tilt of the {earth's
surface it will bevindlctted‘ by a var-ls
atlon in the distance between. the
mean position or the line due to the
moving mirror from that of theflrline
due to the fixed mirror, unless, of
course, the tilt Is in a. direction par-
allelfto the horizontal pendulum.
,Such‘xan instrument is capable of
showing a tilt 3o! one-torw-seoonds
of an inch by a movement or the
indicating spot of light through 1
.mm.
It two instruments are employed
with their horizontal pendulums at
right angles to each other the direc-
tion and amount of the tilt will be
exactly determined. Near the sea
the rise and fall of the tide causes a
a slow tilt and other changes of a
slow periodic character are known.
but these can be allowed for and
could easily be distinguished tram a
progressive movement indicating the
approaching occurrence 0! an earth-
quake in the neighborhood.
If it be found that shocks are in
fact heralded by a. definite tilt it
may be poesible to arange for an
electric bell to attract the attention
of the observer when such a. tilt oc-
curs. If he is satisfied that there is
suillclcnt evidence of an approaching
earthquake a general alarm can be
sounded. In this way a warning
might be given several hours. or
even days before the shock occur-
red.
