WHAT CAUSES tn EN-?

When the earth quakes and cracks
man is helpless. 81
Mother Earth" owns us all. We are
part and parcel of her, and when she
fails ne we are done.
For ages past, that we know of, man
has tried to solve the mystery involved
In the question-what causes an earth
quake-but cannot.
The Earth has been measured, and
all its movements have been studied,
and the sea has been sounded. We have
mountains several miles above sea level,
and the sea has holes in it as deep be-
low; we have dug and drilled some deer
holes into it, have discovered and ex'
plored some great caves, and studied
the strata, and yet know little but what
ison or near the surface.
That the interior of the Earth is
liquid. molten mass is generally accept
ed theory; and that gasses are formed
by the introduction into this molten
mass of water or oil or other foreign
substances, the accumulations Of which
shake and crack the surface in an effort
to escape is one of the theories OF the
cause Of earthquakes; and the volcanoes
are looked upon as the natural vents
for these surplus or accumulated gases.
Another theory fou nded upon the
supposed liquidity of the centre is that
the vast molten mass is constantly cool
ing, and that the Earth's crust (the
shell of the egg is constantly settling
to it, and that it is the uneven orirregu-
lar settling that causes the quake. Such
a theory would explain the existence OF
the assures in the Rocky mountains;
filled with gold, silver and copper bear
ing quartz-the mountains settling ana
spreading and the other stuff coming up
from below-as the tissues grow wider
as they descend
In all the theories regarding earth
quakes, however, we have yet to read
or hear one that takes into account the
mysterious power called gravity
which holds the crust Of the Earth to-
gether, and holds everything, including
the air and water, to it.
We all know that the magnetic-pole
changes, but do not know what does it;
and it may be that this is caused by the
shifting of the molten mass. which at
the same time thumps the shell OF the
Earth and causes the quake-the rails
ings and coverings that we call earth
quake.
The whole surface of the globe seems
to be subject to earthquakes. In the
early part Of the past century, or about
a hundred years ago, the whole valley
Of the Mississippi had severe shock;
Lisbon was destroyed $50 years ago,
Yeddo in Japan and Pekin in China
have both had their earthquakes, and
in parts of northern South America
they are frequent
There are no VOLCANOES in North Amer
lea. though there are several alleged
extinct volcanos' on the Pacific
coast.
