AN EASILY SHAKEN STATE.
Scientists Point Out That California
May at Any Time Have Earth
ouakcS.

New Haven, Conn, April 19.-TWC
| of Yales best-known scientists have
pointed out that at any time California
may have great earthquakes. Profes-
scr Louis Pirsson, head of the depart
ment of physiography, said: They
seem To nave earthquakes in California
| more or less every year, but none OF
then OF course has reached such a
dc gree of severity as this is reported
to have done. The whole configura-
tion OF ,he California coast shows that
there Will continue TO De earthquakes
in that region. 1t would be .he part of
prudence TO put up buildings with that
condition in View. That has been done
to some extent and it will be most in
telcsting and instructive to note how
woll the buildings erected with Il view
to combating shocks of a;ttquakes
will survive Wednesdays catastrophe.
In Japan, buildings are put up with
that in view. In fact, an imperial COM
mission was appointed soma time ago
to investigate the most practica BILE
kind of buildings 20 erect for that coun-
try where they have more and many
severe shocks AS long as the Japan
ese lived in bamboo houses the dan
ger from earthquakes was slight but
now that the race is concentrating
more in towns and putting up larger
houses, the question is serious. No
such thing as commission has even
been chosen here to consider the CUES
ton of buildings either in California
or in any other part of the country so
far as l can learn
There are some immense buildings
in California, but it is to be noted that
the loss of life would not De as large
as if the shock had happened later in
the day when the population was con-
centrated in the business district.
Think of what would happen, for in
stance, if an earthquake struck New
York city at noon, with the severity
greatest in the business district. One
reason why the loss from fire would
De smaller in the present case in Cali
fcrnia than if it were to happen at 9
o'clock at night, for instance, is that
there was much less gas when the
shock occurred than in the middle of
the evening and not so many fires
would be started from the gas.
1t would doubtless be difficult to
connect this with any recent shock on
any other part of the globe. The earth
is so big that a city of the size of San
Francisco is a mere grain of sand on
its surface. Yet there have been earth
quakeS which have been a series of
shocks which have passed along all
most around the globe. 1t is to be
noted that there have been no earth
quakes connected with the recent out
pourings Of Tesuvius The disturb
ances there have been of almost a local
nature"
Professor Arthur w. Wright Of Yale
head of the department of physics for
years, said: The whole Sierra Nevada
ro sion in the West is of volcanic origin
and earthquakes are frequent there.
There have been recent shocks in
JAPAN Formosa and other places, and
there may have been a connection be-
tween them caused by the earth's sur
face adapting itself to new conditions"

James Moriarty

The last meeting of the season of

was held yesterday afternoon at the
Woman's club house when James
Moriarty read a paper on national leg
islation.
The duties and powers of congress-
men and senator's and the powers of
the president were discussed. In
speaking of the constitution Mr.. Mori-
arty said:
ut is upon the constitution that our
federal government has rested for one
hundred and sixteen years; and during
that period our government, our coun-
try and our people have enjoyed a de-
gree of prosperity and happiness never
before witnessed upon such a stu
pendous scale. Let us therefore trust
that upon that constitution, amended
from time to time as experience and
wisdom may suggest, our general gov
ernment will continue to rest during
the long succession of countless ages
yet to come-to the end that "old
glory" embellished with it's stars and
it's stripes, may be kept forever in its
sky"

The current of electricity passed

1t was attributed to the point of
