Washington Intelligeucer that the bed ofthe
Potomac, for about three miles below the

henhing danger to their vessels when this
immense mass shall break away and come

data for determining the focus of agitation and the veo
city Of the transmission of the impulse we beg leave
ask the following questions:
l. Was the agitation felt by many persons in your
neighborhoodg
z What was the number Of distinct shocks?
o. What was the apparent direction Of the impulse and
what facts do you found an opinion as to this point
Was the motion horizontal or vertical or
Of both '

g. Please state any facts observed by you having APP
parently an immediate remote bearing this phe-
nomenon.

tanned by observing the direction in which molasses
any heavy liquid was thrown up against the side of
