Prof. TAR Tells of Changing Physical
Conditions on Pacific Coast.

New York, April 19.-The Times to-
day prints a statement from Ralph
Stockman Tarr, professor Of Dynamite
geology and physical geography at Cor
nell university on the subject of the
San Francisco earthquake. Professor
Tarr was formerly connected with the
United States geological survey and the
Smithsonian institute at Washington.
He is considered an authority on seismic
disturbances. He says:
cit is too early to pronounce a final
opinion upon nature and cause of the
San Francisco earthquake, but from
what has been said it will be seen that
it is probable that this shock is the
result of movements along one or more
fault lines in the course of the natural
growth of the coast ranges, which geolo-
.gists have long known to be still in
progress thruout the entire extent of
California. That the coast ranges are
growing is proved by numerous evil
dences. There are appraised shore lines
at various points along the California
coast, proving recent uplift. The very
bay of San Francisco is the result of a
geologically recent subsistence of this
the sea into the gorge that the Sacra-
coast ranges. This forms the Golden
Gate and in the broader mountain val
ley behind the sea has spread out to
form the bay. .--.G
"Whether the center Of greatest dis
turbance Of the present shock is in or
near the city cannot yet be told, tho
the meager reports 50 far received indl-
cate this. If it is, San Francisco is in
danger Of future disasters

danger Of subsistence beneath the wa
tiers of the Pacific. |'s..r I.
DIR. Holland has recently returned
from long trip in which he devoted
his time to an exhaustive study OF
volcanoes and earthquakes in Japan and
along theawestern coast of this country.
There are series Of what might be
called cracks in the earth 8 surface ex-
tending along the western coast line
from Patagonia to Alaska,' he says.
"The stretch Of earth between the
mountain ranges and the coast is con-
stantly uplifting or sinking, and it is
not impossible that it all may sink.
''Colncldent with such lines of fault
ing there is always found in proximity
to an ocean volcanic disturbances ac-
companied by earthquakes. Volcanoes
are due to the fact that the water of
the ocean settles down and percolates
to deeper strata, which are heated by
the internal heat of the earth. Steam
is thus generated, lava is formed and
there follows explosions and seismic
disturbances.
"There is no doubt that there has
been a breakdown and shifting of
strata, perhaps at great depth, in the
region of San Francisco. There is GER
tainly great connection between this
earthquake and recent private reports
which have come to me of intense vol
canic activity on the part of Mount
Tacoma. I would say that it is not
possible to connect the disturbances in
San Francisco with the activity of
Mount Vesuvius.

in Oakland, Cal, whose operator sat
looking across the harbor to San Fran
cisco, a vivid description of the appear
ance of the burning of California s me-
tropolis, with its buildings tossed into
the air by dynamite, was received here.
"The roar of dynamite from the
other side of the harbor is almost deaf
ening at times,'' licked the Oakland op.
orator "They are attempting to blast
out pathways in the city blocks. where
ever the fire threatens, in order to
check its spread.
sfSan Francisco is at times enveloped
In smoke and when it lifts we can see
the flames of burning buildings and
occasionally the timbers flying from

ity. except that of dynamite appears to
have ceased. The ferry beats have
stopped running between Oakland and
San Francisco, and no one is allowed to
enter the burning city.
Shocks Continue.
"The shocks here are continuous, some
of them being quite severe. They have
gotten ON the peoples nerves so that
whenever the earth trembles, almost
everyone who is under roof rushes out
of doors. Many of the buildings in
San Francisco were so badly damaged
by this mornings shock that they ara

JcIrnnI Speciai Service.

Journal Special Service.
Washington, April 19.-Gilbert n.
Grosvenor, editor of the National Geo.
graphic Magazine and one Of the best
on seismic disturbances, dictated the
following statement:
1.-THE earthquake which brought ruin
to so many in San Francisco was caused
by an invisible settling or breaking in
of the earth S crust somewhere not
many miles from that city. It is not
very likely that the earthquake had any
connection with the eruption of Mount
Vesuvius.
"Many of the mountains in that part
Of the world are still young as the
geologist would say. They are as much
unlike the DID, gentle and softened Blue
ridge as great, overgrown, husky boy
is unlike a fully developed and hard
ened man.
"They are expanding in some places
and contracting in others, tho this
4 process is so slow that the changes
cannot be measured in many genera
tions. But every now and then some
thing gives way in the bowels of the
earth. an immense mass settles, and
tho the fall may be only a foot or a
few inches, the jar is so tremendous
that great buildings miles distant are
shaken like jackstraws.
This is probably the explanation
for the cause of the terrible catastro-
phe in San Francisco. If the earth
quake had happened in Venezuela or
in the West Indies we would, with good
reason, attribute it to volcanic agencies
but San Francisco is too far away from
volcanic influences. 1t has been noticed
that volcanic disturbances Of any kind
are usually accompanied by magnetic

earthquake with such clearness that he

where the disturbance occurred.
Asked his opinion as to the causes
of the catastrophe, Milne. said:
HThe first question to be asked is of
astronomers, for it is generally believed
that earthquakes are to large extent
caused by the failure of the earth to
swing perfectly true. Sometimes it
gets a little bit off it's course and the
reaction in swinging back to it's true
position involves a tremendous strain
on the center. This is. said to be SO
great that it results in twisting or
breaking earth IS crust. Therefore, to
find the present disturbance you must
get astronomers to tell you if they have
noticed any deviation in the earth s
axis within the past few days. The
recent eruption of Vesuvius is probably
due to the same cause.

q sharp shock of several seconds.
Regarding the cause, maintain,

about contraction, which is bound to
