SEISMIC DISTURBANCES,
Timid People Have Commenced to
Talk about the Recent Upheaval
of Mother Earth,


Of Mother Earth,
The newspaper man is always the
first to give an alarm of the APP
proach of danger and those who
are born journalists have history at
their finger tips and can recite hap
| penings of earthquakes, volcanic
eruptious and give the tracks and
dimensions of each comet that has
appeared in the heavens since the
time the ark found resting place
on Mount Ararat
We have before us a half column
article on the recent seismic distur-
bance, and as it treats of the dan
gers likely to follow an earthquake,
we give it in full;
The recent shocks in this region
caused much alarm. They we're
felt as far north as Michigan and
Wisconsin and south at New Or
leans and east to Ohio, but there
was no serious damage dcne
except at Cairo, where a beautiful
memorial library building was badly
injured. The cause of these shocks
is attributed to volcanic action. A
contemporary says the Hot Springs
in Arkansas constitute a volcanic
outlet, and the earthquake history
of the region seems to establish a
marked connection between the
ebullition of the hot water and the
seismic shocks.
In 1871 great assures were opened
in the earth The settlers ooserv-
ing that these cracks ran mainly
north and south, feIIed trees east
and west and built their cabins up
on them for protection The Mis-
sissippi river ran up stream for
three days at one time, In West
Tennessee a great tract ofland dsud-
denly sank, water taking its place
and forming what is now known to
the fishermen, duck-hunters and
others as Reelfoot Lake. To this
day trees that sank with the land
may be seen standing upright be-
meath the waters of the lake, Had
the region been populous then,
with cities as firmly built as many
cities in our time, these earthquakes
would unquestionably have cost
thousands of lives and would have
ranked with those Of Lisbon, Cara
cas- and Callao as historic disasters
The reported increase of the flow
Of natural gas in Indiana has given
rise to the fear that the long con-
tlnued drain of gas from the inter
ic, of the earth may have disturbed
the equilibrium OF pressure beneath
the earth's surface and so have
been the cause OF the earthquake.
If this were really the case it is
doubtful If the use of natural gas
would be continued at the risk of
earthquakes, Professor James f.
Kemp, Professor of Geology in Col
umbia College, has been interview
ed on this subject and he does not
share in the opinion that the use Of
natural gas is in any way RESPONSE
bic for earthquakes, which he be-
lieves are due to the cooling of OF
the earth's interior and the con-
slant contraction which Is inces-
sanity going on
