The earthquakes of the last eight years aro calculated by Dr. von Korealigetby to have exerted seventy billion horse-power per second.L This Boda-Pesth physicist assumes that the deviations of the poles that astronomers have been recording are due to earthquakes, and his oaloniations are based on the extent of the

movements shown and the estimated weight of

the earth.

An improved method of operating en super- Anous bairs is known as "enelectrolysis." Tho hair is first pulled out with tweezers, and the electric needle is then inserted in the holo left in the skin.
