The Recent Disaater-I@ Saratoga or
White Sulpher Springs IN Similar
DnuMHr{

| The Recent Disaatcr-IH Saratoga OF
| White SuIpher Springs IN s1mI1n,
| Danger!
Nty York Erentng Natl.
| Prof. Falmlcri, who is scientific author
! ity of the highest rank, and who has made
| the vagarics Of Vesuyius his special study,
has advanced rather startling theory in re-
| gard to the disastrous earthquakes at Iscllia.
After declaring that Vesuyius was undis-
turbed at the time Of the catastrophe, and
that the earthquake was not owing to any
abortlve attempt at MI eruption, as was at
first believed. he intimates that it may have
been owing to 4 sudden sinking of the ground
caused by the corrosive action Of mineral
springs.
II there is any truth in this theory it Is one
which may we'll excite the attention of our
own citizens. # the mineral waters Of Ischia
can corrode Or eat into the rock and soil 50
as to create a Sudden sinking of the ground,
why may not such a phenomenon occur at
any Of our own watering places? Ischia is
rocky island. The White Sulphur Springs
ot virginia are ina rocky region and equal
" exposed to this danger. Saratoga is on
sandy soil which reaches: down many feet.
OF rock on which this soil rests? The real
sources Of mineral waters are still mys-
tery. Science has not yet penetrated into
the unknown laboratory Of nature, or
snatche1 from the dark recesses Of earth the
secret OF her healing springs. The waters Of
Saratoga have flowed for,cellturies, and their
corrodlng processes have been slow indeed.
1nsteat! Ut wearing aWny the earth and rock
ABOUT them, they have, as III the case Of the
ll!sl lsock Spring. only left surface deposits
or sedlincntary matter. -
For centuries, too, the waters of Ischia
nave flowed only to kindly aid beneticent
purposes. Yet at the same time, il we adopt
the Palnieri theory, the corrosive work has
been going on slowly, undermining the
foundations Of the island. The fullness Of
time came at last. and when the last prop
tell: and 200 lives were sacrificed.
in store for Saratoga or the White Sulphur
region? We have all the elemeuts of sllch a
catastrophe, only magnifed in the proper
tions.
However, all this corrosive theory may be
only a scientific chilllera. None of tbs cable
dispatches advance the idea that the local
volcanic Of 1schla may have awakened to I'M,
expected activity and caused the calamity.
