Geological Expert Says nm Earth
quake There Is Not Impossible.
There are slight indications that Chi
cago may experience an earthquake
within a few years, according to Pro
lessor j. Paul GOode of the University
of Chicago geology faculty. The pres
ence of certain species of rock in the
earth inside or near the city limits, he
believes, is an indication of a condition
that might result in the dismantling of
a portion of the city, says a Chicago
dispatch.
There is no absolute geological
proof that Chicago may have an earth
quake in. the next few years." Profess
or Goode declared. zone can detect
slight symptoms, however. Certain for
nations of certain kinds of rock under
meath Chicago might be taken as an in
dication. An earthquake is as simple
as the breaking of Il timber.
Il believe that the seat of the dis
turbance at San Francisco was about
seven miles below the surface of the
earth. 1t was quite probably slipping
of the crust of the earth. Generally
one block of the crust slips up while
the other slips down. The focus of the
disturbance may be noted by the direc-
ton of the cracks in the wrecked build
ings."

Charleston Disaster RecaIIed--ThOu-
sands Killed In japan.
The last great earthquake in the
United States was that of Charleston.
s. c., in 1856, says the New York
Tribune. This earthquake was preced-
ed by minor tremors, to which little
attention was paid The principal
shock occupied about one minute, and
other shocks followed at intervals with
gradually diminishing violence. At the
end of four weeks they had ceased to
be destructive, but tremors were oc-
casionally observed for several months
longer.
In Charleston the movements were
less violent than at the center of the
disturbances, a point fifteen miles west
of the city. A large number of houses
in the city were thrown down. and
nearly all the buildings in the CITY
were more or less damaged. The dam
age was computed at $S,000000. TWEEN
ty-seven persons were killed outright
and others died afterward from in
juries received.
Following is list of the most de-
structive earthquakes of the last two
centuries:

Naples and San Francisco.

These two unfortunate cities are SINH
larry situated. says the New York
Press They are just about as far
apart as the length of the earth's di-
ameter. They are almost in the same
latitude, San Francisco being between
the thirty-seventh and thirty-eighth
parallels and Naples between the for
tieth and forty-frst. Population Of
Naples, $4,000; of San Francisco,
nearly 100000. There were 10000 more
men than women in the California
city 1t is surprising to learn that of
the total population only $1,000 were
of native parentage, 275O00 being of
foreign parentage.
