JApAN's EARTHQUAKES.
Volcanic Upheavals In the Depths o
Ocean.

volcanic UpneavaB In inc Depbhb VI
Ocean.
The northeast coast of Hondo, the
largest of the Japanese islands, extends
nearer than any other land to the
tremendous submarine hole in the
earth's crust known as the Tuscarora
Deeps, says Scribncr's. This is the deep
est part of the ocean so far as men know
of; it is almost as deep as the topmost
peak of the Himalayas is high.
Throughout it's hundreds of miles of
width and breadth there are submarine
volcanoes. The seismic philosophers
think that through some volcanic up
heaval in these depths earthquake vi
brations were transmitted along the
ocean bottom to the shore, and a sudden
rise of the waters level sent the tidal
wave on its errand of destruction. The
earthquake shocks, which travel at a
rate of speed varying from two to twen-
ty miles second, reached the shore
first They were mild for qualiy Ja-
pan, and it was not until $3.50 o'clock
in the evening, an hour and half later,
that the slower-moving waves of water
were announced by portentous boom
ing sounds. Only four miles away from
the coast fishermen were unaware of
the presence of any extraordinary wave.
But when the on-moving volume of
water reached the steep sides of the
sea bottom and mounted up to the shall
low places, the wave grew to height of
20 to so feet and hurled itself into the
inlets and bays of the hapless land,
overwhelming, with contemptuous ease,
the feeble dikes which the Japanese
fishermen and rice-planters had built
to defend their low-lying homes.
