THE CHARLESTON EARTHQUAKE.
A Scientists Opinion of what Caused the
Recent Disaster.

A scientlst's Opinion of what Caused the
Recent Disaster.
DR.. Ferris, the editor Of the Intelli-
gencer, makes the following contribution
to the scientific thought In regard to the
probable cause OF the recent earthquake:
We venture to add the suggestion that
the removal Of pressure by tapping the
subterranean reservoirs OF oil and gas has
aggravated the movement Of the Atlantic
coast section OF the earth's crust. The
natural oil has been lying under great
pressure, probably of gas, but also, per-
haps, OF other substances. How great that
pressure has been indicated by the
spouting Of the oil wells, throwing the
oil to a great height IN the air when the
boring reached the underground reeer-
voir. The pressure of the natural gas.
which is so extensively used in Western
Pennsylvania and part of Ohio, rises in
some instances to hundreds OF pounds to
the square inch. Now this pressure has
been supporting something down below,
and the down below is the bottom of a
basin, with shelving sides. In other
words, the strata OF the rocks
dip or slant down into the val
lev and the valley Is the bottom Of
the basin on which the sides rest. The
oil wells and the gas wells have been tax
ing the support out of the bottom OF the
rock basin. A pressure of some flfty
pounds to some hundreds OF pounds Il
the square inch, Indicated by the flow Of
the oil, or as, has been holding up some
thing, probably great deal. Perhaps
the pressure was greater than was needed
TO support the everything masses of rocl
and soil. That is very likely. The gas ha
been compressed. But the time come
when the equilibrium Is destroyed, whei
the support required is removed from tn
superimposed strata. Then the STRAIT
must seek new support, and, as the
extend on rising slant for long dis
lance, and as they are the support O
other strata beyond, the movement uut
a new support Is reached will extern
over wide area--an area Of hundreds O
miles. The movement will be creates
on the periphery or rim Of the bowl, an
there cracks and assures are most likel
TO occur.

Does Prohibition Prohibit ?

Great stress is laid upon this point by
both the friends and foes of the cause.
Letters from prohibition States tell how
easy it is to get liquor, and how there is
more drinking than there was before the
prohibitory law was in force. Recently
such aletter came from Iowa. The writer
proved that prohibition was a failure
in all the cities and large towns Now,
however, it comes out that the officers
Of the Northwest Saengerbund" have
decidedto change the place of their Saen-
gerfest from Dubuque, Ia, the city or
ignally selected to Freefort, Illinois.
And the reason which they give for the
change is this, namely, that it was made
ION account ofthe strict enforcement OF
the prohibition statue"
This item seems to show that pro-
hibition-its enemies themselves being
the judges-ooes prohibit.
Another item Of encouragement to tenn
perance workers, OF the 1877 counties
Of Georgia, los have absolute prohibition,
and twelve others have partial prohi-
btion. There are only II counties in
Georgia, where whiskey has free swing.
Alabama and Arkansas are coming nobly
forward in the cause Of temperance, and
making rapid strides towards prohibit
ton. Certainly the outlook in the
Southern States was never brighter than
at present believe the time for action
short, sharp and dccisiye-all along
the line has fully come. And, as work
ers together with God in this great cause
of Gospel temperance reform, we should
be willing to welcome all agencies and
instrumcntaltics into the field Of action
that have for their avowed purpose the
owe rihrow of this gigantic evil. In fact,
approve of prohibition in spots" until
the entire face Of the country is covered.
