EarihNmnkes.

Great interest is taken by thoughtful per.
sons in the recent earthquake in Quebec and
the slight shocks felt in our seaboard States
during the last few years. Some scientists
who have made an especial study of seismic
disturbances assure us that there is an init
mate relationship between volcanoes and
earthquakes, and that there is no great dan
ger from the earth tTemOrs where there is no
volcanic formation To substantiate this
theory they point to the fact which cannot
be questioned. that the majority of earth
quakes seem TO occur in volcanic districts.
But there is no volcanic formation along
the Atlantic seaboard. The most destructive
earthquake IN Many years was the one that
created such havoc in Charleston. Quebec
is far away from any volcanic indications. and
SO are the districts in which slight shocks are
so frequent in the Eastern States. The theory
alluded to- therefore. is certainly very far
from conclusive. Volcanoes apparently serve
purpose akin to that of the lid or the spout
of teakettle-to let steam or gases escape. In
the earth's sOlidifying process within certain
gases are generated, which find vent through
volcanoes.
The most plausible theory to account for
earthquakes. and the only one that appar-
emily explains the shocks in the Atlantic
States. is the shrinkage of the earths crust
on the inner side in the cooling process and
the sudden displacement of vast masses of
hardened matter. This would account for
the recent quake in Quebec and elsewhere
along the 81. Lawrence river. where the sur
face formation is almost a mass of solid
rock And if this theory be correct there is
a possibility OF a shock anywhere at any
time.
There is no reason, however. why anybody
should be fearful of consequences resulting
from earthquake. Some disastrous shocks
have certainly occurred but they rarely
amount to anything more than an interesting
sensation and a topic for conversation. The
danger really lies chiefly in the structures
that are SHAKEN by the earth's CONFUSION.
The old idea that vast assures were opened IN
the earth by these quakes had very little
foundation. In few instances small seams
have appeared in the surface, but no great
destruction WAS ever caused by peoples
tumbling into them.
But how much of an earthquake do you
suppose 1t would take TO topple over some of
the sky-scraping buildings that have lately
become the fashion in our large cities? A
few years ago very pronounced earthquake
shock was felt in New York city and for some
distance along the coast. AT the time the
writer was sitting on the piazza of hotel az
Long Branch. There was a sudden rumbling
and shaking Of the building, conveying the
impression that heavy baggage truck was
being drawn rapidly along the piazza.
II New lork's sky-scrapers had been in ex-
istence then 1t is question whether there
might not have been sudden fall in the
brick market A very slight vibration at the
ground would be terrific at the fourteenth
story of building. Philadelphia Times
