Sometimes have heard them almost every day. and great numbers of them in the a year. Oftentimes I have observed them coming the sound came right under and then there seemed to be a breaking like the noise of a cannon shot or severe thunder, which shakes houses and all that is in them'
 The center from which the noises proceed seems to be Mount Tom, situated the junction of Moodus and Salmon rivers The severest shocks have been felt as far northeast Boston and southwest quakes Tn 1916 and 1917 these were more than usually loud. On the recent recurrence there was a sound resembling clap of thunder, followed for a couple of hours by like the echoes of distant cataract A day later there heard a crashing sound like that of heavy muf1ed thunder, and a roar not unlike the wind in tempest. The ground was so shaken to a rattle as though an earthouake were in progress.
