EARTHQUAKES AND CAUSES.
Fruitful Investigations of Phenom-
ena May Follow Suggestions.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
One OF the most disastrous earth
quakes of recent times is that reported
from Russian Transcaucasia. The town
of Shamaka has been practically de-
stroyed, only a dozen houses being left
standing. while a population of $4,000
has been rendered homeless. The num-
ber of fatalities is as yet unknown.
Perhaps 1t never will be correctly de-
termined, for the fissured earth swal-
lowed up some of the victims. and
others are buried in ruins where they
may never be disturbed, Over 300 bodies
had been recovered at the latest ac-
counts.
To the student of seismic phenomena
the interesting and suggestive feature
in the Shamaka earthquake is that it
has occurred in the neighborhood of
the Baku oil district-the most produc-
tive field in the world. not excepting
that of Beaumont. in Texas. 1t is,
furthermore. section of the world
which has hitherto been exempt from
these phenomena. The scientific in
auirer will naturally search for cause.
