EARTHQUAKES.


During the last three months Of the year
lust c'osed, there has been a coincident oc-
currence Of earthquakes, hurricanes and
volcanic eruption.. which have led many
minds to the conclusion. more especially ne
the same coincidence has been observed be-
fore. that they are effects of one general
cause. Among the curious theories Of the
cause of earthquakes is one by French
gentleman, NJ. Alexis Perry, who has for
many yesrs made this a special study, and
prepared voluminous tables Of such earth
qnakes as have taken place. He comes 10
the conclusion that they are periodical, and
that there is a relation between the frequen.
cy Of earthquakes and the rotation Of the
moon. He insists that this relation is one
of cause and effect; the moon, he argues,
" attracts the central nucleus Of the globe;
the nucleus is thus dra wn towards the moon.
and presses against the inside Of the outer
crust of tho earth. This crust does not
yield readily to the pressure sometimes i,
gives way and breaks, or, in other words
an earthquake occurs. Regard being hal to
the earth's orbital motion, earthquakes are
more frequent at the winter sols,iee than at
the summer" However numerous and di
verse the explanations OF the efficient cause
OF these shocks, il is known that various
agents are at work in the interior OF the
earth. producing chemical changes which
act with great violence. eiecting from vol
canoes, rocks Of vast magnitude and devel-
oping power even beneath the bed of the
ocean, that communicates shock to vessels
passing over the surface. One spot in the
Atlantic Ocean is spoken Of, near the eqna.
tor, and about midway between Guinea and
Brazil, where earthquake shocks are almost
always felt by vessels. passing over. and the
soundings Of which are found to be suffice,
to sudden and extreme variations. Indeed
there Is no region CT the earth in which
considerable earthquakes have not been
recorded. unless IL he In Guinea and South,

The Baltimore Sun calls attention 10 the
fact that the earthquake which visitsd d
seme paris OF the North at an early hour on
the morning Of December Is. is said to have
been first felt at Believiile, In Western Can,
ada, at 2.4o q. M; at Montreal. where the
shock was quite strong. about 8 a m., and
at Albany, New York, where the last per.

resulted at any point Itis reported that
the course of the vibrations. though not In
a direct line, seemed to extend flom the
North-west to the South-weet. These
shocks In the West Indies and the United
States are simultaneous with the usual &C.
iivity Of the volcanic fires in Mount yesu.
vius. In 1858 and 1859, the same concur
renee OF volcanic eruptions, Hurricanes and
earthquakes was observed, extending TO the
continent The most important earthquake
that ever occurred in this country was that
Of New Madrid, Missouri. below St. Louis,
on the Mississippi, in 1911. The qusking
OF the ground continued without intermis-
sion for several months. and over an extent
OF territory 400 miles In length, the earth
rose and fell like the waves Of the sea. ieav.

about this time, was a continued glare Of
lightning and inesssant roars of thunder
from cloudless sky, and which appeared
to proceed from below the horizon. There
are records Of nearly 5000 earthquakes In
different pats Of the globe--some Of them
involving an appalling loss of human life.
and affording impressive illustrations Of the
immenss power Of the explosive materials
which seem to be in such q constant state
of unrest beneath the crust Of our planet.
