SECOND QUAKE WAS RECORDED
THE SEISMOGRAPH SHOWED LONG DISTURBANCE.
The Instrument Recorded Distant Earthquake Yesterday. Morning.
Prof. H. P. Cady, who has charge of the weather instruments of the University detected movements of the seismograph which was recently installed in the basement of Fraser hall, at 11:48 yesterday morning. The instrument recorded a continuous earthquake shock for about 32 minutes.
The recording was not sufficiently detailed so that the direction of the shocks could be definitely determined, but the east and west components of the seis mograph seemed to be stronger than the north and south.
Yesterday's disturbance was the second earthquake shock to be recorded by the University seismograph. The first occurred on March 9, and was apparently more violent than the one recorded yesterday.
The seismograph at Washington University recorded earthquake shocks at the same time the shocks were recorded here. Nothing has been learned, however, a to the locality in which the shock took place, but from the reading of the seismograph the greatest force of the shock was apparently a good way off.
At the present time the University seismograph is being slightly changed by Professor Cady. Extra weights are being placed upon the contrivance that are expected to make it somewhat more sensitive in the future.

WILL NOT PLAY BASEBALL.
Johnson
Will Not Become v Professional.
"Tommy Johnson, the Kansas University basket-ball and football player is trying for a position with the Oklahoma City baseball team of the Western as sociation. He played shortstop Saturday for this team in an exhibition game with the St. Louis Americans. He made one hit and one error. The outfield is said to be his regular position. If he fails to "make good" it will not impair his amateur standing, acording to the rules of the Western Amateur association."
The above story which appeared in the "University Missouri, " the official publication of the University of Missouri yesterday, was emphatically denied by Tommy Johnson this morning. "There is absolutely no truth to it," he said. "In the first place I have no time to spend on baseball. More than that I have never corresponded with the Oklahoma City management and above all could not afford to impair my amateur athletic standing at the University by playing on professional teams of any kind."
INSTRUMENTS BROKEN
Wind Damaged Record Ther mometer.
The shelter or weather box in which the scientific weather instruments of the chemistry department are ker$^+$ was blown over during the windy spell that prevailed duringthe Easter holidays. The outside case in which the recording thermometer and barometer is enclosed was broken. The instrument has been sent to The Watertown Thermometer Co., of Watertown, N.Y., where it will be repaired.
This instrument is used as a check on other observations and although the department will be slightly inconvenienced by this accident, substitute instruments are being used until the return of the damaged one.

Eastern Magazine Prints Bio graphical Sketch.
HARRY KEMP'S "LIFE."
Harry Kemp has arrived at the position among men of note where the magazines are printing biographical articles about him "Human Life" for April has a half-page sketch of the Kansas poet, which traces his life from the time when he "took the road' under the guidance of professional al hoboes until he came to rest in the shelter of Mount Oread and devoted himself to the task of turning his experiences and observations into magazine "copy."
The heading of the article is "Harry Kemp, the Tramp Poet of Kansas." The subject of the sketch feels that an injustice is being done to him, for by the time he began to attract notice in the public prints as a "tramp poet," or in fact as any kind of a poet he had abandoned his old manner of living, and was no longer a tramp, which he became "when mere slip of a boy" as Human Life has it. The writer of that article was not without an imagination of his own. He says that Kemp when a student in the University "often broke up classes by some iconoclastic remark"—which is news both to the poet and to his instructors.

TO AID THE FARMERS.
University to Exterminate the Chinch Bugs.
Prof. F. H. Billings and some of his assistants have spent the last few weeks in examining soils in various parts of the state in order to find out whether chinch bugs can be infected by the farmers without the aid of the University.
As a result of their investigations it has been discovered that the soil of some counties if kept damp will develop the fungus which proves so deadly to the bugs. With all the infected bugs which will be sent out this summer a bulletin will be enclosed explaining to the farmers how they can experiment with the soil for the one purpose of finding out whether that particular soil contains the fungus. This is expected to be of great value to the University if successful, since it will save the University the cost of infecting and mailing the bugs
