THE RECENT EARTHQUAKE
Said to Have Been Caused by Sud
den Slipping of Rocks.


Prof. H. D. Campbell, of Washing
ton and Lee University, thinks the
slight earthquake which was felt here
and in Southwest Virginia last Thurs
day night, as we'll as those which &C.
Cured in May, June and July, were
probably caused by a sudden slipping
of the rocks beneath the surface. which
started waves In the crust in all direc-
tions from the line along which the
breaks took place. In this case the
jar was not sufficiently severe to pro-
coed far from its source.
That earthquakes have been Of fire.
Quent occurrence in the past in South
west Virginia is evident from the
numerous faults in the strata in that
region, which show that the slipping
has amounted to thousands of feet. 1t
does not seem strange, therefore, that
slight readjustments of the strata
should happen from time to time, and
produce rum bling noises and tremors,
or even more severe earthquakes in
that section, but as time progresses
the earth's crust becomes more stable
and slips less frequently,
