BUILDINGS IN NORTHwICH SUBSIDE THREE

In the little town of Northwich. Cheshire
England. the buildings look as il they had been
having highly convivial time. One leans over
helplessly in direction. while it's neghbor
leans IN the other. Scarcely a wall in the
place stands plumb a floor remains level
This situation did not develop all at once but

at uniform rate
The trouble is not due as one might imagine
to an earthquake; at least, any ordinary

the foundations OF the town. but in a fashion
that would permit Mr. Mines seismosraphs to
take note thereof. The disturbance is purely
local. and felt at any distance away from
the town itself.
The secret Of this singular phenomenon is that
Northwich lies directly over valuable deposits
of salt. and the latter has been extensively
mined. Of course. if the salt deep enough
