SeUen Miles a Second.

By means of these appliances II
has been ascertained that the first
shock of the recent earthquake was
felt in Washington at S:l9:30. As
the first shock was felt in San Fran
cisco at 5:13, and the difference ia
the time at the two points in three
hours. ii is apparent that It took
six and a half minutes for the earth
10 transmit the shock a distance of
nearly twenty-seven hundred miles.
or a little less than seven miles per
second. This speed, according to the
Weather Bureau, is quite unusual
for an earthquake shock. The aver
age time, as shown by their records
of prior shocks, has been from three
10 five miles per second. The speed
of the vibration may be only appar-
ent, however, for the center Of the
earthquake may not have been at
San Francisco, but at a point con-
siderably nearer Washington.
Another strange fact in con1ec-
ton with th= record of the sefsmo-
graph is chat the smaller waves al
ways travel faster and reach the
instrument ahead Of the heavier
shocks, as may be seen from the
reproduction OF the record shown
on this page The first shock WIS

Jared Needle off Paper.

Two seismographs are required to
secure a complete record x the
earth's motion, one TO sGeuic the
wave disturbance in ar Sasterly
and westerly direction. an6 the
other for the northerly and souLher-
ly component record. Unfortunately,
at the time of the San Francisco
disturbance only one of these in
struments at the Weather Bureau
was in commission, so that tae
northerly-southerIy component rec
ord was not secured.
In the record reproduced on .his
page It will be seen that It the
point OF greatest oscillation of the
needle there is a serious break for
about three minutes. This was
caused by the fact that at this point
the disturbance was so violent that
the Aeedle was forced beyond the
limits Of the Aim. and 1t was some
time before II was able 70 get back
on the drum.
The oscillation Of the line does
not show the amount of disturbance

Among other queries that have
been fired at the department is
whether the eruption Of Vesuvius
had anything whatever to do with
the Pacific Coast catastrophe. The
department has replied in the mega
tive. However, there is much more
to be said on the subject than
fat denial Of any connection be-
tween the two phenomena. While
the Vesuvius outbreak could not
have been the direct cause OF the
earthquake on the opposite. side OF
the world. It is quite possible. and
by some mejereologists thought to
be probable, that both the eruption
and the earthquake were the result
Of some great change in the earth's
crust. In other words, the volcanic
eruption did not cause the earth
quake, but both disturbances may
have had their origin in a primary
cataclysm or CONFUSION IN the in
ner regions Of the globe. Much
probability has been lent TO this
suppositiOn by the fact that there
have been numerous minor disturb
ances recorded by the seismOgraph
within the past two or three months
While the study Of earthquakes
and the various forms Of the earth
waves is still in its infancy. the
seismograph is annually adding 10
the general knowledge concerning
such phenomena If the mystery Of
earth shocks is ever fully solved.
much of the credit will be due TO
the tiny needle installed IN the base
ment Of the Weather Bureau at
Washington.

4 NecessitH in Japan

It is not rem arkabie that the jap

among the foremost in the study OF
earthquakes, for disturbances Of this
character are a constant menace 10

sand shocks of varying intensity
are felt there each year. For this
reason the government has found it
advisable to appoint special COM

earthquakes and to devise the best

The seismosraphs used in Japan
are entirely different from those in
