The earthquake in Japan which
was at first reported as having been a
slight disturbance. now turns out to
nave been terrible calamity, the loss
OF life being set down at 5000 to 1000
and the destruction of property as
greater than by any previous vista
tlon. The volcanic character of the
islands of Japan makes them pecu-
harly liable to seismic disturbance.
while the fragile wooden buildings
characteristic of the Japanese make
any shock of earthquake less easy to
withstand. The force of this latest
eruption must have been of unusual
intensity.
