the Basin region there are great earth
blocks tilted Oh edge. These great escarp-
ments did not occur at once, but every
paToxysm caused an earthquake. This is
by far the most frequent cause of earth
quakes.
The most popular theory concerning
earthquakes is that electricity causes them.

EARTHQUAKES.
DISCUSSION As TO THEIR YARI.
Gus CAUSES.
Lecture by Prof. LIE Conte Upon the
Subject Before the California
Academy of Sciences.

At the last meeting Of the California
Academy Of Sciences, Prof. Joseph La
Conte, at the request of Prof Davidson,
the President, delivered a lecture on THE
general cause Of earthquakes, with special
reference to the recent ones at Charleston"
The lecturer spoke without notes and gave
a very interesting discourse to large audi
ence. He spoke, as reported by the
Scieatik; Press, substantially as follows
There is no subject which las more inter-
est than the subject Of earthquakes, and
the cause is obvious. It IS because the
origin Of earthquakes is hidden from direct
observation. Really the phenomena of the
earthquake is complex, and that which has
most tended 10 retarl investigation is the
suddenness with which they occur, Great
ing terror and surprise.

SOMETHING MUST GIVE WAY,

And it does give way by the crashing of the
she'll. Now, perhaps. an earthquake is
produced by the swapping or reaGjustment
of old fractures-a readjustment OF broken
parts. In South America changes are con-
stantly going or. If the earth yields grad
ually 10 the forces which are constantly
raising the coast Of South America, there
will be no earthquakes; but if it resists the
force will eventually oblige it to yield sud
denly, and an earthquake is the result
Again. il is well known that the interior
of the earth is contracting more rapidly
than the surface, ard the shrinkage of the
she'll on this is apt TO cause motion of the
surface; 1t gives way by crushing or fold
ing. Every time the crust thus moves, We
have an earthquake. Suppose the earth is
composed OF great crust-blocks, each hun
dred of miles IL extent. As the interior
shriuks those blocks must settle If you
lock at the Coast Range Of mountains, you
will see there are ct least five bends one
way and five another, and if those were
spread out, it would be found that two
miles had been mashed into one. In one
place sixteen miles spread out would make
ninefysiX miles. This is MOI extreme II

This difficulty viii soon be gotten over
by the use Of the Seismograph, which Will
not admit of surprise or other emotion.
These instruments are being introduced
into all earthquake countries, and princi-
paily in Japan, where the most satisfactory
observations have been made. There will
soon be one at Mount Hamilton, and an
other at Fulton, and we viii then have a
better opportunity of comparing notes with
observations made in other places. We
will have better opportunity 10 notice the
principle Of induction. feature Of earth
quakes appears to be that il proportion as
we extend our observations OF them, they
become more common. In Japan there are
about 700 a year, or two day, There is
not an hour in any day in the year that the
earth is not shaking somewhere. What
we want is some theory that will give sig
nificance and conference to the phenomena.
IMMEDIATE AND REMOTE CAUSE.
There are two kinds of causes. One is
the immediate cause OF the observed
phenomena; the other is the remote, ulti-
mate real cause, hidden deep in the bowels
of the earth. As to the immediate cause,
this we know 1t is rising of the surface
ofthe earth from some hidden force, and
spreading on the surface of the earth in q
series of elastic earth waves. These are
similar somewhat in origin to sound waves
The difference in sound waves and earth
waves is difference merely of rapidity of
vibration If they are so rapid that they
are not noticed by the nerves, they are
sound waves. Ifheavy, they become more
or less dangerous, and we all call them
earthquakes. The phenomena are similar.
The smaller ones we notice as sound the
heavier ones are from earthquakes. Sup

cause-say several tons of nitro-glycerine,
buried deep in the earth. Here the lecturer

decorations Of the church were very
tasty and appropriate. An arch of
evergreens spanned the pulpit, which
was dotted here and there with flow
ers of different shades. From the
center hung a wreath Of evergreens
and flowers and within this was sus-
pended a marriage bell silvered with
tin-foil. On the sides of this wreath
were the letters I and L and under
meath the words Omitted We Stand"
The whole design was quite pretty
and artistically arranged.
AT Il few minutes past So'clock
the bridal couple entered, preceded by
four ushers, Messrs. w. A. Long, f

Ed. South KENTuoKIAN:

Ed. SOUTH KENTUCKIAN:
My attention has been called to a
notice in recent issue of your paper
signed by Julius Winter, Jr., & Co.,
of Louisville, KY, and containing a
statement that l had been dismissed
from their employment, etc. The
falsehood implied in this statement
is calculated to do me injustice, and
create false impression. The truth
is that voluntarily quit the employ
ment of said firm long since and
made a full settlement with them. In
the greatest charity to Julius Winter
Jr., & Co., can only attribute thei
false statement to a supposition OF
their part that 1 had been employed
by a rivdl house, and would carr.
with me the trade which l had bull
up for them.
