Queen Victoria established the precedent
for the cameo bracelets and brooches , for It
is the good widow's custom to have the
head of every ono of her beloved children
nnd grandchildren delicately carved and set
in Jewels bcforo their marriage , so In case
death or wide seyis should part her from
them she can wear and contemplate their
carved likeness. Now , when n fashionable
woman weds It Is her filial duty to sit for a
cameo portrait , set the little work ot art

Of nil the causes on which have been baaed
| sulis for damages in the local courts for
many years , says the Phlladelphl.i Tole-
Kraph , the most novel perhaps Is that nd-
\anccd by Miss Udlth Boonc , who claims
fl..0oo as ,1 salve for Injuries resulting from
the squeezing of her hands -by Frederick H.
Farrow. The latter resides .it the southeast
corner of Twenty-ninth street nnd Columbia
avenue , and Is employed ns a prescription
clerk in n drug store near Fifteenth and
Jackson streets. Miss Boone , who Is 17
years old , lives at 1227 South Twenty-seventh
street , the home of her brother-in-law ,
Charles lavender , through whom the suit
Is brought.
The affidavit on which on tbo 20th of this
month In common pleas court No. 1 , before
Judge Brcgy , a writ of capias ad responden-
dura was Issued against Farrow , vho secured
ball the some da > for 11,500 , Is an Interesting
document. In It 'Mr. ' Lavender says , In part.
"Tho said Frederick n. Farrow , with great
force and violence , caught hold of both hands
of said Edith Boone , plaintiff , with his hands ,
and for a long space of time pressed ,
squeezed and mashed both hands of her , the
said plaintiff , whereby and In consequence
whereof the said plaintiff's right and left
hands wcro contused , bruised , mashed and
crushed , and seriously , grievously and per
manently Injured , so that the same have
been of no use to her ; and that as a consequence
quence thereof she , the said Kdlth Boone ,
plaintiff , Is advised and believes that her
right hand will have to bo amputated , and
her left band so Injured , maimed , contused
and wounded that the same will never be ol
any use to her ; and that said Injuries were
so inflicted upon her , the said Edith Boone
plaintiff , by him , the said Frederick R. Far
row , defendant , purposely , intentionally
viciously and wickedly , and with the Intent
and purpose of hurting and Injuring her , the
said Edith Boone , plaintiff. "
It is also said that the plaintiff has suf
fered and will continue to suffer all her life
"excruciating mental anguish and physical
pain. " and will be
unable to take proper care
of herself or earn her livelihood.
When interviewed at her home .Miss Boom
had one hand completely bandaged and ap
parently had no control over tbe member
The other hand also appeared to be affected
Her sister , Mrs. Lavender , told the follow
Ing story of the affair :
"Wo have known Mr. Farrow for semi
time , and while ho was working as a druj
clerk in the
store beneath our rooms hi
took his meals with us as a day boarder. Hi
was here about eight months before thi
affair occurred. I always thought well o
him and he appeared to mo to be a nlci
young fellow. On 'March ' 11 , 1S9S. a littli
over a year ago , he came in to dinner , and
after joking with us , seized both of Edith'
hands and commenced to equeeze them. "
At this point Miss Boone continued the
story herself. "Fred '
wouldn't let go of nr
hands. I asked him to , " she said "for I
hurt terribly. Ho held my hands for full-
five minutes , pressing them very hard ani
finally I cried and begged him to stop. HI
did FO , and a few hours afterward my rlgh
wrist swelled a great deal and got purple
I showed it tp him and he only laughed , say
ing that It was nothing.
"I went to the I'olycllnlc hospital sooi
afterward , and they did all they could fo
me , but my bands have never been rlgh
hince. I can't do any work with them , am
my right hand aches
constantly. They ar' '
getting worse. Instead of .bettor. . "
Mrs. Lavender said that the physicians hai
told her that necrosis might bo develop
ing. and in that case it was extremely proba
bio that amputation would bo necessary
The metacarpal bones are &ald to have beei
crushed. Mrs. Lavender stated that Parrot
had repeatedly refused to come and ECO MU
Booiie during the summer , nnd when reproached
preached by her Mrs. Lavender becnm
very Indignant.
The defendant , Frederick n. Farrow , whi
Is 21 years of ago , nnd graduated about i
year ago from the College of Pharmacy , wa
orator of his class , and bears an exce'llen
reputation among all who know him. H
deplored the affair , and said that he neve
ment to injure the girl in any way.
"We were always good friends , nnd I wa
sort of skylarking with her ono day , whci
the affair occurred. We were in fun at th
time , and she only complained of a sligh
soreness in her wrist afterward. I put som
liniment on It. My case is in the hands of :
lawyer , and I cannot say what ray defcns
will be. "

It & man bad the extreme misfortune to
tall from a balloon bewould reach the
earth much more qulrtily It the balloon were
near the north pole than It It were near the
equator. An Austrian man-of-war , the
Donor , which ( topped at New York recently ,
is making a tour of Investigation for the
put-peso of establishing the accuracy ot this
statement. One ot Its Officers. Lieutenant
Ilodler , has teen testing the force ot the
earth's gravity at every point which the
vessel has touched , and the captain ot the
Donar haa been ordered by his government
to make several visits at various points
staply to give Lieutenant Rodler an oppor
tunity to work his Instruments. While in
N'ew York Lieutenant Ilodler experimented
In a sub-lxisement ot Columbia college. Ills
operations were ot much Interest to the
professors of the institution. The United
States survey ol'.lctels also thought enough
of the matter to send a representative to
Columbia with American Instruments to ver
ify the computations made by the Austrian.
The action of the United States survey
officials , however , was not meant to cast
doubt on tbo observations of Lieutenant
Kodlcr. It is part ot a great International
gravity survey which has been agreed upon
anil Is being carried out by the various gov
ernments. It was made necessary by n
peculiar existing condition. Although nearly
every one knows that the earth exerts a
strong force of gravity In all its parts , yet
it is not so well known that the force Is
variable. It grows much stronger as either
of the poles is approached. This Is because
the earth is flattened slightly nt the north
and south poles. The north and the south
poles are much nearer the exact center of
the earth than is the equator. That Is to
say , the distance from the exact center of
the earth to the surface of the tropic zone
Is much greater than Is the distance from
the center to the frigid zone. Mow , as the
attraction of gravitation grows stronger as
the center of the earth is approached , it
Is plain that the force of gravity of the
frigid zone must bo stronger than that of
the tropic zone. The earth as a whole ex
hibits this phenomenon , but there are cer-
ta'in spots which seem to take on an In
dividuality of their own. These spots affect
testing Instruments in such a way that the
general law might seem to be set at de
fiance , were it not that certain local con
ditions servo as an explanation. The de
termination of this varying force of gravity
Is not accomplished , as might bo supposed ,
by dropping a weight from n height and
noting the rate of its fall. This might , and
Indeed has .been , accomplished and chrono
graph records have been obtained. Hut
there Is another method of obtaining records
which is much more simple. The trick Is
accomplished with a pendulum , the rate of
the swing of which enables the scientist to
tell the exact force of gravity existing at any
particular point. In short , the nearer the
pendulum Is taken toward the north or south
Doles the faster It will swing , because the
attraction of the earth becomes greater.
3locincMitH of the I'omliiliim.
All of the great scientific expeditions ,
whether of exploration , lunar or solar
eclipse , north pole seeking or whatnot , carry
a pendulum apparatus. Inasmuch as the
pendulum swings exactly In proportion to
Its distance from the exact' center of the
earth , the observer can compute his dis
tance away from the equator or from the
north pole , other conditions being uniform.
Hence a small island near Japan was found
to be several thousand yards nearer the
equator than had been supposed before the
observation was made. On the other hand ,
when the exact latitude and longitude of a
spot is known to a certainty any variation
from the ordinary in the swing of the
pendulum will serve to indicate the char
acter or the composition of the earth di
rectly beneath the instrument. It is a
question of specific gravity.
Two sides of a mountain may affect thi
pendulum differently. By comparing thi
slng on cah side and the swing on top o
the mountain the scientist can tell very ac
curately of what material the mountain i
made. Ono pseudo-scientist has facetlousl ;
observed that n man lost in the woods , b ;
dropping out ot a tree and observing th
exact rate of his fall , could determine hi
distance from the equator.
Dut very accurate calculations , not enl ;
of geographical situation , but of the charac
ter of the surrounding country 'beneath ' thi
surface , may bo made. Thus the volcanl
nature of some of the South sea islands ha
been determined by a pendulum. Ascensioi
Island , for instnm o , is really nothing mor
than a great cinder heap , which resultci
from srmo volcanic upheaval In the remot
past. Its specific gravity was determined b
the pendulum , and it is known therefron
that even to a very remote depth its cinder
like character is maintained. This verdlc
of the pendulum is further borne out b ;
the manner in which the island rocks undo
the influence of the very peculiar wave
which sometimes roll upon Ascension fron
I the northwest. These terrific combers ar
periodic In appearance , and are often eve
fifty feet high. They follow ono anothe
In rapid succession , and < M > ntlnuo for Severn
days , and under their influence Ascensioi
island rocks back and forth as thougl
struck by earthquakes In a manner whlcl
It could not do If made of firmer materia
than cinders. The verdict of the pendulur
is thus borne out.
HIMV Mriitoiiiint ItoillcrViirUnl. .
The mechanics of this pendulum ewlngint
are highly interesting. In the sub-cellar o :
Columbia college Lieutenant 'Ilodler ' swunj
the pendulum and noted by means of f
chronograph and a chronometer Just how
long , even to the slightest fraction of t
second. It required for the weight to trave
back and forth. In order to be still jnor <
accurate Dr. Davis of the astronomical de
partment made calculations of the transit !
of certain stars , so that any deficiency o ;
the time calculations on the earth might In
In a measure checked up. The pendulun
itself was n small affair wclghins but i
couple of pounds. It was not more than tor
Inches in length. Tbe pendulum was huns
from a T-shaped bar. The under side o :
this T was ground down to a knife edge
The edge rested on two small pieces of agate
II ' o i- ! ; r lul'ni ' s iri It rn nin

It ft Ing for n whole dar. In the top of the
pendulum bar w * a small wiuarc mirror.
Near toy was placed ft citndle. * nl a * the
pendulum swung the light wa * reflected In
the mirror and flashed up and down In the
dark celUr with every pultatlon of the P-
paratug. Lieutenant Rodler held his vlgil
11 through the night , when no disturbing
influences were likely to Interfere with the
accuracy of his operation * . He lookr i
through small telescope , the Urge end < (
which was closed except tor a small tli
Across the lens. As the pendulum twune
back und forth the light of the candle na-
flashed Into the telescope at the end of ( \ < r\
wing. The click ot the chrmometir n
prised the observer ot the duration of . \ , - .
second or fnanlon of a second as it pa- . i
and Lieutenant Rodler was enabled to c > u i
late to a nicety the time required for , In
weight to swing. The stronger the for , o . . :
gravity the quicker does the pen'ii'ir '
swing. This curious condition may bo i <
tlced to a alight degree in the varyine ni
clocks. If a person uaed a clock and c : i
to run near the equator and then sent 'h.
clock to some point In Labrador he woui.i
find probably that it would run continual h
"too fast. " As a matter of fact It wo ill
be a trifle nearer the exact center nf thr
earth , and hence the pendulum would s inc
faster than before. This Is one reason h *
clocks sent to a distance from the tnanufa -
turcrs have to bo regulated.
All .NiitlniiH Iiitcri-itril.
Nearly all ot the civilized governments co
operate In this pendulum swinging opeiation
and nearly every man-of-war going to for
eign countries In time of peace has on boar. . !
an officer who Is commissioned to swing j
pendulum at predetermined spots. New nn < l
remote stations are continually chosen , but
it mav too set down as an axiom that one.
a pendulum Is swung nt any place , that place
will become a permanent pendulum station ,
and the commissioners of the various govern
ments will follow each other's fottsteps foi
the purpose of corroborating the calculation'
of those who have gone before. This corroboration -
oration Is necessary for several reasons. The
constant Improvement in the instruments lr
use always permits the possibility ot a
greater degree of accuracy than might have
( been possible previously ; the possibility ol
change in earthly conditions ; the extreme
Oneness of the calculations and the fnlllhillt >
of observers these all make repeated ob
servations advisable. So , Columbia college
having been chosen by Lieutenant Ilodler. li
will now become a permanent gravity sta
tion , n fact proved by the quickness wr.li
which the United States coast survey sent
an olllcial to use the same post. Lieutenant
Ilodler has already made observations ii ;
Pola , Austria ; Senegal , Darbadoes ; Martin
ique , Santiago de Cuba , Havana , Japan , etc
Ho will make observations In Halifax , ir
Scotland , various points in Europe , nnc
finally in Pola , where he started , In ordt-i
that any variation In the instruments maj
be detected. Thus he will have made i
voyage of observation which will be of in
finite 'benefit ' to science.

An Ol.I-Tlm. . Im-lilcnt of tin * Imlul-
U 'iu' - of Ilojnl Dames in tin * Sport.
The old practice of surf sliding , "hee
nalu , " upon surf boards , was magnlficen
sport , says a Honolulu letter. It has fallei
almost entirely Into disuse since forty year
ago , when horses became numerous am
cheap. Before that date I used frequently ti
see it at Lahama , as well as earlier a
Kallua. I believe some adepts still practie
It at Hllo. The board used in surf slldini
is from five to eight feet long and ten ti
fifteen Inches wide , rounded at the ends am
sharpened nt the edges , very much llko i
paper cutter. The rider swims out with th
board under one arm , diving under thi
rollers until outside where the surf is Jus
beginning to break. There , by an adroi
movement , ho stretches himself upon th
board Just In front of a tig roller , at th
same time violently plying arms and leg
to "get a move on , " while the roller lift
him from behind. Once in motion the wa\
does the rest , although great skill Is ncedei
to keep the 'board ' poised precisely at th
proper height and inclination upon the fron
of tbe violently breaking roller. The rider
will thus shoot several hundred yards to th
shore.
By early and long practice great skill wa
attained in this sport. The moro cxper
would often rise to a standing posture
balancing their hoards by their feet at tb
right point on the wave. I can remernbe
in early boyhood dally watching from m
homo through- the stems or the lofty coco
palms scores of natives flying In together i :
the white , roaring surf. Some were prone
others crouching on their boards and som
standing erect. Both sexes participated , an
modesty was much at a discount , exeep
when the venerated missionary was In slghi
The males wore the male or brooch glrdl
when disporting thus in our neighborhood
The females did not stand up on the !
boards.
Customs in these early days wer
Arcadian. At about 1S24 the writer's youn
j mother at Kallua once received in he
thatched cottage a morning call from a bev
of royal dames with their attendants , al
fresh from surf play. The maidens carrle
tbo garments whllo their mistresses stalke
itno the missionary's parlor in stately slm
pliilty and proceeded to dress. All tha
was utterly innocent , and so In a ccrtal
sense was the nearly entire unrestraint ei
domestic morals In those early days. To in
fuse some degree of conscience on that poln
has been altogether the most difficult par
of the missionary's task in Hawaii. T
i most of the ten commandments the Hnwalla
| was easily amenable. But the Important
| of the seventh did not readily come horn
to him.
