identical with the direction Of the de-
preston zone before noticed. The
places in group (A) are situated on
the eastern side of the fault line. while
those in group (B) are situated on the
western side. 1t will thus be observed
that in (A) group places the direction
of motion was mostly toward north.
northeast or northeast by east. while
in (B) group places the direction
was toward northwest, north or
northwest by west. Thus, on the
whole. the motion on each side Of the
fault line seems to have had tendency
Of diverging or being directed away
from the latter This can be explained
on the supposition of subterranean
collapse or settling down. which would
produce an initial inward motion. TO be
followed by the second and larger out
ward displacement
Further, the directions of motion at
the different places are mostly norths
ward, and not southwark. This would
mean that the whole strong motion
zone was first pushed toward SOUTH
southeast, the second or counter mo-
ton, which was greater, being conse-
quently directed toward north orth-
west.
presume therefore that the action
which caused the great earthquake of
April Is was a sudden movement Of
the eafth's crust at the west coast Of
California toward southeast by south,
accompanied by some downward thrust
In this connection 1t is extremely in
teresting to note that Mount Tamalpais

nometrical measurements to have

eating that the earth's crust at this
point of America was being strained
toward the same direction.
DEPRESSION Is MEASURED.
The ground on the eastern side of the
fault line was generally displaced
toward south-southeast relative to
the ground on the other side.
The amount OF the horizontal slip
was maximum between Point Are
ma and Point Reyes and varied
from sixteen feet to twenty feet,
the amount decreasing to about eight
feet in the vicinity of Stanford Uni
versity and to about four feet at
Wrights.
From the uniformity of northward
direction of motion 1T Is probable that
both sides Of the fault line were dis
placed toward north-northwest, but the
west side was moved more than the
east side, the amount of this horizontal
slip, or shear, above mentioned being
merely relative or differential. In the
majority Of cases the eastern side was
depressed, the maximum amount being
two feet.

EXPLAINS TIDAL WAVES.
When an earthquake Of inland origin
IS large and violent, the waters of
ponds, rivers or lakes are more or less
disturbed SO similarly q great sub
marine earthquake is often followed
by tidal waves; the time interval be-
tween the occurrence of the earthquake
shock and the arrival Of the sea waves
varies from a few minutes TO over an
hour, and depends on the distance of
the origin from the shore. Tidal waves
which are not to be noticed on high
seas are developed most markedly in
bays with shallow waters and with an
open mouth, but are quite insignificant
On deep water open coasts. Many OF

the great earthquakes originating of
the Pacific coast Of Alaska and Central
and South America have been accom-
panied by large tidal waves. But for
tunately. this phenomenon, which some
times causes more damage than the
earthquake itself has, so far. not been
very active along the coast of the
United States. The great earthquake
of April 1S last produced distinct but
very small disturbances of the bay
waters, which were clearly recorded
by the tide gauge at the Presidio; the
amount Of the rise and fall of the sea
water being only about s inches, re-
peated in about every 40 minutes The
wave period or periods at a place on a
given coast remain constant in all the
tidal waves irrespective OF the origin
or cause; a destructive tidal wave con-
sisting simply in the increase Of the
amount Of the water motion existing
more or less at all times In conse-
quence Of strong submarine earth

seismic tidal wave is caused by the
movements communicated from the sea
bottom to the superintendent water
mass; very big water disturbance
taking place when the earthquake
focus is at the sea bottom itself or at
a very small depth below it. accom-
panied by some changes in the contour
of the sea bottom. The absence of
any big tidal disturbance on April IS
shows that there was no great sub
marine depression, or dislocation in a
vertical direction. although it seems
probable that the northern half Of the
central earthquake zone passes under
the Pacific
A rough idea as to the position of
the most central or principal point in
the zone, which forms the origin of
the earthquake, may be obtained from
a good seismograph record taken at the
Lick Observatory, where the prelimi-
nary tremor of the shaking lasted
about 10 or II seconds, from which it
may be calculated that the distance
between the point in question and
Mount Hamilton was about so or 90
miles; the predominating direction of

pose that the main source of the earth
quake was situated some considerable
depth below the surface. In fact, the
earthquake seems to have been caused
by a disturbance which took place
along the old weak line. but extended
deeper into the earth's crust The
great depth of the main source OF dis
turbance explains why the intensity of
motion was comparatively not very vio-
lent, and also why some places. such
as Santa Rosa, San Jose and Ferndale,
not directly on the fault zone. were
also badly shaken.
The very ultimate cause Of great
earthquakes Is probably to be traced to
the cooling and contraction OF the
earth and to some degree the change
in the distribution OF the matter con-
stituting the land and ocean bottom
The more immediate cause of such
earthquakes is, however, frequently
due to the activity of mountain making
force. which produces fracturing, etc.
along an extended zone. Different ex-
ternal agencies which act on the earth,
many of which are periodic. may be
regarded as secondary causes of earth
Quakes.
DISTURBANCES GENERAL.
Seismic phenomena have been active
during the last seven or eight years,
and there were, on the one hand, great
earthquakes throughout the seismic
zone which extends through Formosa,
China. India. Turkestan, Caucasus. Asia
Minor, Balkan peninsula and Italy, this
zone marking the southern boundary
Of the non seismic region OF Asia and
other side, the eastern boundary of
the Pacific was also very active, and
there were between September, 1899,
and January, 1906, series OF six ex
tensive disturbances which affected the
whole west coast from Alaska down
to South America, with the excep-
tion of the coast of the United States,
indicating that these earthquakes were
no separate and local phenomena, but
were the result Of great stresses going
on along the Pacific. such that the ex-
tension OF the seismic disturbances to
the coast Of the United States would
have been most natural event to be
expected
The great earthquake Of April IS
may therefore be regarded as having
completed the continuity of the man
Hesitation of the seismic activity along
these districts, which latter thus be-

earthquakes which remove a great un-

happen successively at one and the
same place.

of making a compromise with the City
Street Improvement Company on the
contract for the paving Of Valencia

before the disaster, but was not ac-
cepted by the city. The roadway be-
tween Eighteenth and Nineteenth
streets sank considerably after the
earthquake and the company named
has agreed to reduce its bill from $44,-
