The earthquake which was f-lt in Yer
mont, western New Hampshire, southern
Canada and eastern New York on Thurs
DAY nigh, % ,as. week was followed Oh
sunday night by similar disturbance
which covered much larger territory 20
the South and Wes,, intending ,Ae states
Of Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Mary
land. Virginia. West Virginia, North and
South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and
Kentucky.
While the earthquakes which reud at
times certain paris Of the earth's crust are
undoubtedly due 10 volcanic action, those
which are felt in the United States are sup
posed by scientists to be caused by read
justment Of rock strata. The same slow
shriDkage Of our globe which has raised
colossal wrinkles IN It's surface still goes
on, as for millions Of years gone by. But
the materials Of which the earths crust is
composed are not very plastic nor has
auy lubricant been introduced between the
adjacent layers. Il is not 10 be expected,
therefore, that these rocks will yield readily
10 the tremendous lateral pressure exerted
upon them, nor that one stratum will slide
easily over another under this crushing
strain Hence the combined resistance
which is offered by inertia, gravitation
and friction will be overcome suddenly.
when az all And although the actual
movement may be slight, and far below
the surface, the conseq uent shock may be
felt scores, even hundreds, of miles away.
Man is thus reminded Of the instability OF
his frmes, terrestrial foundations, and
made aware that the work OF creation is
yet in progress
