K. U. SEISMOGRAPH RECORDS EVERYTHING
Instrument Registers Earthquakes and Wit-Sparkles Brought Here in 1911
Not long ago someone in the University unknowingly dropped a sparkle of wit. The little instrument over in the basement of Fraser recorded the shock, and the following day the local papers devoted three columns on the front page to a vivid and graphic description of a terrible eruption in the University Senate.
The seismograph was brought to the University of Kansas in the spring of the year 1911 and located in the room in the basement of Fraser Hall.
This instrument is a design of Professor Wiechert, a geophysicist, of Goettlingen, Germany, and is known as the astatic horizontal seismograph. The purpose of this form of seismograph is to register the shocks and undulatory motions of earth oakes.
To the ordinary observer the seismograph appears as a combination of a moving picture reel, a gasoline engine tank and a very small pair of steering wheels. In frame work, and the framework in turn resting on a large cement block.
The "reel" is a cylinder around which a paper strip, coated with lamp black is pasted to form a ring. This cylinder revolves very slowly, so slowly, in fact, that when you are standing right beside the machine you find it very difficult to determine which of the aluminum levers, to which are attached fine aluminum writing points, extend out over the cylinder. These points trace lines on the paper as the cylinder revolves.
What appears to be a gasoline engine tank is a stationary mass weighing four hundred pounds. This mass is like an inverted pendulum, the turning point being formed below on the stand from a Cardanic system of springs. The pendulum mass has its enter of gravity one meter above the turning point and is at this spot held by two thrust arms, one in the North-South and the other in the East-West direction.
Each of the thrust arms moves a two-sided lever arm of aluminum, the axis of which is vertical. On one side of the lever the air damping is fixed. On the other side a point, against which a small thrust arm lies, moves the writing point. When a disturbance of the earth's surface is held in the medium mass remains fixed, and the movements are transmitted to the writing points by the system of levers previously described. The writing points receive the impressions and record them on the blackened surface of the paper on the cylinder. Any movement of the earth is recorded. If the disturbance is a small pressure drop it may be slightly. If the shock is quite pronounced, the lines zigzag very noticeably across the cylinder.
For the more lunging motion of the earth during an earthquake the magnification of the motion by the seismograph is about 100 to 1.
According to Prof. F. E. Kester, of the department of physics, "in addition to this effect there is another, due to the rocking of the earth's
surface, which gives about one-half an inch of motion of the recording needles for a title of one degree of the crust of the earth. The sensitivity for this last type of motion so great is so low that it often enters the slightly tilted action in the surface caused by the march across the country of the high and low pressure areas such as are sketched daily on the weather maps.
Around Mount Oread
Ward Barber is now convalescents from the severe attack of pneumonia which necessitated his removal from here to his home in Abilene some years ago. He is now a hard-working, weak, however, that he will be unable to finish this semester.
A senior in the College in his four years spent at this seat of learning has raised the art of "grafting" to the nth power. For instance, he filled up a rooming house with students for the landlord, hence his roomrent free all year; he is steward of a club, he his board cover; sells tickets for a pantomime, hence his tickets for a chorusiform, hence his laundry free; is agent for a laundry route, hence laundry free; and besides all these activities works in a down town store to help out with his heavy expenses.

J. M. Johnson intended to spend his Easter vacation in the quiet confines of Spooner, but after certain exciting events of last week, he thought it best to go home and have a few buttons reattached.
Jerry Reisley who is taking the "family" in the sociology department, told his professor yesterday that the reason he was not at class last Thursday was because he had to hurry home to engage a cook. Jerry says he took a course and all I know but the singing. The date has not been set for the ceremony yet but Jerry says there will be "two of us in school next year."
Earl Plowman was an interested spectator at a picture show this week. Right in the middle of a thrilling drama some roaring individual seated behind Plowman, grabbed Plowman's hat, and said it far over the audience, "Oh, there's a little girl, seeing the reflection on the screen, "see the pretty little bird." "Little," granted a cynically wise witness in the back row. "It's seven and seven-eights if it's an inch."
