in geology that would have justified |; forecast of an earthquake at this time"
 o. c. Harrington, curator of the Field Museum, gave the following opinion concerning the earthquake:
 "There has been report that Mount Tacoma has been in eruption recently, and there may have been some connection between that and the seismic disturbance, but if there was any connection between the dis turbance and the Vesuvius eruption, it is a proposition entirely new and unheard Of in science.
 Tn the first place. the distance be. tween Vesuvius and the Pacific coast is so great it would be hard to es. tablish any connection. It is more than likely that the earthquake was the result of some movement of the growing mountains on the Pacific coast"

OF THE ROCKIES
 CAUSE OF THE EARTHQUAKE

Chicago, April 21,-Prof. w. w. Atwood of the geological department of the University of Chicago, made the following comment upon the great seismic disaster at San Francisco to. day:
 "The cause of the earthquake re- ported in the Pacific coast and Rocky mountain region was the Rocky and lacifc coast mountains themselves. hese mountain ranges are of com raratively new growth; from a geolo- elcal point of view they are growing slowly even now.
 "lf these mountains should rise slightly on one side. or subside or earthquake such as was reported Wednesday.
 "It is probable that this latest earthquake was caused by the crust of the earth moving few inches alone a fault line.
 "There is absolutely no connection between this earthquake and the dis trrbances in the Formosa islands or the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
