He was curious to see the result as recorded on the seismograph, and to know at what hour it registered in Japan. "I think Professor Omori will come over," he said, modestly. "This earthquake will interest him very much. He will wish to study the ground." "Were you not frightened?" asked Isabel, curiously. "I appreciated the danger, but frightened no, miss, I think I have never felt frightened.
"This is my seismograph which tells me whether I have had any visitors in my absence. If the pen traces a straight line, it is, all right; but if hello Walter, the line is wavy." We exchanged a significant glance. "Would you mind er standing down the hall just a bit while I enter?" asked Craig. "Be careful," cautioned Elaine. He unlocked the door, standing off to one side.
Hence the tiny fluctuations of Hilary Vane's seismograph an instrument, as will be shown, utterly out-of-date. Not so the motto toujours l'audace.
It had whirling machines on the top of it that measured the speed of the wind, and deep in its basements it measured earthquakes with a seismograph; it held classes on forestry and dentistry and palmistry; it sent life classes into the slums, and death classes to the city morgue.
"I think you must all appreciate that your tiptoeing up the hall must cause a far greater disturbance in this delicate seismograph than even a very severe earthquake thousands of miles away, which it was built to record." He paused and examined the papers sharply. "This is the record made by the 'ghost's' walk the other night," he said, holding up two of them in his left hand.
"Because I didn't get on to it," answered Mr. Tooting, in response to a reproach for not having registered a warning for he was Mr. Crewe's seismograph. "I knew old Adam was on the Railroads' governor's bench, but I hadn't any notion he'd been moved up to the top of the batting list. I told you right. Ridout was going to be their next governor if you hadn't singed him with the Pingsquit bill.
I have consequently decided to submit it to the approval of men of science. My seismograph is capable of registering vertical shocks, horizontal ones, the order in which all the shocks manifest themselves, their direction, and the hour of the first movement. The apparatus is represented in the accompanying cut.

Across the blank white paper ran an ink line traced by a stylographic pen, such as I had seen in mechanical pencils used in offices, hotels, banks and such places. Kennedy examined the thing with interest. "What is it?" I asked. "A new seismograph," he replied, still gazing carefully at the rolled up part of the paper.
