An earthquake always begins with
small vibrations, according to Prof

is scarcely "shock" at all, but a
"wobhling" OF the ground in every
conceivable direction. A movement
OF the earth of an inch and three.
quarters is the greatest yet recorded
by the instruments in Japan, while
the motions are usually to be meas.
