CAUSE OF EARTHQUAKES.

Messrs. EDIToRs; Under the head Scientific in you
paper Of Tuesday last find opinion expressed of the
origin or cause Of earthquakes attributable to the action
Of The moon upon supposed of fluid in the centre
Of our globe. If the learned Professor Mons PERRY
Don France, would turn his attention to the poyer Of
electricity the of these tremblings of our EARTH he
would find more efficient cause of these phenomena.
The action of this aerial fud the substance Of The sum-
which is perpetuay penetrating and passing through our
globe, has more to do with earthquakes than the moon
which derives all her porer from the SUM- She has enough
to do with the surface of earth to expend any Of her
supposed powers in its interior.
would therefore take the liberty Of calling the atten
ton of to the investigation of this source or
cause of earthquakes. ROBERT MILLS.
