Another Professor Seeks Notoriety

There j. only one welcome object
tina: such disaster as the San Fran
cisco horror CAP suhserve, and that is
TO n small class of professional quiJ
auncs, who are thus enabled to air
their opinions Of the causes and con.
ditions which produces such An awful
phenomenon q: TIE mighty fo.v-s os
nature. Already Prof. Be.!;l:y. O. Co
lumbia University, New York, is in
the field with the announcement that
"There can be no possible connection
between the disturbance at San Fran
cisco and the late eruption of Vesu.
vius," and that earthquakes are not
necessarily OF volcanic origin" But
when people use their sentes OF per-
ception, they are more likely to form
their conclusions from palpable evil
dences of cause and effect. than the
words OF some savant who wishes to be
quoted as an authority on matters
that anybody is as capable of forming
q correct opinion upon as himself.
1t is more than likely that people in
this State will be apt to connect the
smoke and flame, and thunders OF Mt.
Rainier, simultaneously with the clos.
ing of the vent.hole at Vesuvius, as .
I;,,Jo.r.rx.n demonstration <I,at Tho
mighty pent-up forces seek an outlet
by some other way, and that distance
is annihilated by such giant forces, as
time and space in sending the tanned
thunder-bolt around the Earth without
any comprehensive duration OF either.
It is quite as likely that the same ter
rible force shook up the Earth's eur.
face at San Francisco, where such &C.
currences, the past ages, have demon
etrated that the rind, crust, or casing
of this ball of fire is extremely thin.
If it is the part of wisdom to judge of
the present by the past, what other
conclusion can be reached?
Prof. Berkeley sagely remarks that
earthquakes are not necessarily of VOL
canic origin, but it seems probable
that volcano. may develop from an
earthquake, if tie force il strong
enough, or continuous enough, to
break the crust, when, of course, the
Ynmbling and tremors will cease.
Earthquakes are often the precursors
Of volcanic activity, and whether they
are connected" or not is immaterial
when it is apparent that they are pro-
duced by the same cause and are at.
tended by the same horrible results
The professors explanation of the late
tremor is that tho Earth's surface 10
cooling contracts, causing the strata
to slide, and it is the sliding OF the
Earth's crust that caused the San
Francisco earthquake. That idea is
more difficult to comprehend. but it
is backed by a scientific reputation.
The one that the Esrth's surface is
agitated and at times broken by pent.
up forces, is easy to understand aud is
supported by the iudubiiable evide noes
of Nature written in the language of
Reason.
