 The earthquake came from north to south, and the only description l am ! ableto give of it's effect Is that 1t seem- ed like terrier shaking rat l was in bed but was awakened at the first shock. l began to count the seconds as wen to the table where my watch was, being able, through much practice to closely approximate the time in that manner. The shock came at 6:12 o'clock The first sixty seconds were i the most severe, From that time ie i decreased gradually for about thirty seconds. There was then the slightest perceptible lull. Then the shock con- tinued for sixty seconds longer. being slighter in degree In this minute than in any part of the preceding minute and q half. There were two slight shocks afterwards which did not time At S:14 o'clock I recorded a shock of ! five seconds duration and one at 4:15 of l two seconds. There were slight shocks | which I did not record at 5:17 and 5:27. At 6:SO p. m. there was a sharp shock of several seconds.
 "Regarding the cause, I maintain as I always have that it Is the earth cool ing on the inside. The cooling brings about contraction, which Is bound to create a readjustment of the earth's surface.
 q have heard talk of the eruption of Vesuvius having connection with this disaster. but that is rank nonsense. My seismograph was twisted out of shape by the shock, so that have no record firm that. { "As to telling whether there wuld be ! a repetition of the earthquake. l can no more predict that than l could have predicted the ones of to-day" l
