1t NAV be interesting to know that Sir
William Dawson, the famous geologist,
attributes the earthquake OF last week 10
settlement, or giving away, OF the rocks
along the junction OF the Laurentian END
5ilurian formations II is his opinion
that the cart hquake came from a great
depth and nearly vertically, and that the
low, rumbling noise which followed the
shock indicated the depth at which the
settlement took place. These shocks are
quite common in Canada, and are more
FREQUENT and more severe in the fall than
at any other time of the year. Probably
very few people, when the earth was actu-
ally quieering, stopped long enough Ia
their mad search for place of safety, 10
mediate on which formation was likely
to be affected.
