Charles Williams, a deck hand, says
he tried to smother the fire when il was

This great increase in frequency and
severity has attracted the attention Of
many ofths best scholars of our day
among whom We might mention Mum
90 Porston, Fellow Of the Royal Socie-
ty at Edinburg. Anslet the English
Geologist and Perry of France. Hum
boldt also in his Cosmos uses this Ian
guage. IF we could obtain daily inteli-
gence of the condition of the whole sur
face of the earth we should very proba-
biz arrive at the conviction that this
surface is almost always shaking at
some one point; and that it is incessant-
ly affected by the reaction OF the inte-
rior against the exterior"
And vet with all this record before
Us there is reason to think that these
tremblings are still rapidly increasing
in number if not in severity.
How awful is the thought Of so
