The convention will be characterized
by two new features. viz: The employ

scientists, considered crank" his
predictions of seismic disturbances
have been remarkably fulfilled AS.
for instance. the great earthquake at
Zante in 1893. he. several days before
the earthquake occurred. sent warning
to the press all over Europe. Again. in
March. 1898, he was invited to lecture
before the tourist club of Vienna on
the subject of earthquakes. but, while
accepting the invitation, postponed the
lecture until after April 10, as an
earthquake would take place about
that time and he would prefer to in
clude the results of his investigation of
this earthquake in his lecture.
And. as the German proverb has il,
Has du mir geschen." the earthquake
did occur on April 8. and was felt all
over southern Hungary and did much
damage.
Many Incidents like these could be
quoted where predictions have been
made one to two years in advance and
been fulfilled. Professor Falb dis
claims in the most peremptory manner
that his warnings should he classed as
predictions or prophecies.
Il am not prophet" he said in an
interview. My theories are simply
scientific investigations into mundane
anatomy. The interior of the earth is
filled with a molten mass, subject TO
ebb and flow just like the waters of the
ocean. Every intelligent and educated
man knows this. Between the surface
of the earth and this molten mass.
which is slowly cooling. there is only I
shell of an average of Is miles in thick
ness, in some places thinner than IN
others. and here the confined force
escapes in the form of gas. But not
finding such an outlet, through the in
tluence of the moon. great tidal wave
sweeps round the inner crust of the
earth and produces the terrible phe-
nomena known as earthquakes.
This is in short Professor Falb
theory. and it has been much disputed.
particularly his reference to the in
ruence of the moon. Professor Falh
calls attention to the fully estab-
lished" instances where comet has
come in contact with our planet and
the results:
GIG. January IA. 10 people killed in
China by the fall of a meteor.
S23 November ,, 35f villages de-
stroyed in SaXony.
1911. September 4. many lives de-
stroyed by falling meteors at Crema.
1149 November 4. a ship crossing
the Atlantic was struck, killing sew
eral sailors.
Each of these instances, says Profess
sor Falb. can be regarded as the fall of
a small comet upon our planet.
