The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1897-11-16

at 2:30 the intermountain Sec
tons of Montana enjoyed brief
entertainment in the shape of an
earthquake. The sensations in
spired by these exhibitions of
nature are indefinable, but they |
bring out the characteristics of
people in a way that strengthens
the belief that each man lives in
a little world of his own, in SO
far as his mentality is concerned.
This was illustrated in the city
of Butte. In this great mining
camp the natural inference of
many was that mighty subter-
ranean explosion had taken
place, the perpendicular ellipse
described by the wave line of
the seismic disturbance giving
the momentary impression of
falling as if the surface grounds
had sunken suddenly into some
great excavation. Many slept
profoundly through the entire
performance and had to take
their information second handed
while others felt an elevating
sensation, it being their first
earthquake, and they were proud
of it. Scores of people were
much alarmed, and while they
were hastily debating as to
whether they could best employ
the brief time left them on earth
in bidding goodbye to friends,
making their peace with God, or
exchanging their night shirts
for their pantaloons, the danger
passed away. An interesting
study would be an analysis of
the varied sensations produced
on the human mind by an earth
quake shock.
1t is well to bear in mind, how
ever, that the dangers attending
an earthquake shock in this re-
gion are more imaginary than
real, for we are not likely to ex-
perience anything greater than a
tremor of insufficient energy to
reag harvest of wreckage or a
feast of death. Should the pent-
up forces of the earth's interior
seek a safety valve we have
close at hand the Yellowstone
National Park, which, if not Gin
league with the devil, " is in close
proximity to hell, and which has
been wisely surrendered by the
gracious act Of the federal gov
eminent to the idiosincrasies of
nature. 1t is fair to assume that
the crust of the earth in that
section will more readily yield to
internal pressure and will be
quickly sought out by the es-
Gaping prisoners of the worlds
inferno, thus relieving adjacent
territory.
The wise men of the scientific
world tells us that according to
latest information earthquakes
are caused by great masses of
rock-boulders, so to speak, as
large as continent-becoming
detached from the interior of the
earth's crust and falling with
terrific force against another
portion of the interior, causing a
jar or tremor that we call an
earthquake. Occasionally the
blow is so hard that the surface
of the earth is cracked, and
sometimes the pressure causes
volcanic vents to vomit forth
the melted lava that is lubricat-
ing the axis upon which the
earth revolves. This process,
II
repeated at intervals, is more
likely to strengthen than to
weaken the portion of the world
where the shock is felt by ulti-
mately thickening the crust at
that point, whereas the locality
