Not An Earthquake Country.

Professor Shaler, scientist con.

culture, is authority for the state.
ment that Michigan has not had an
earthquake .since the glacial epoch,
centuries ago. There has been quiv-
ers and shivers, as in 1919, 1870, 1894
1906, but a destructive earthquake
has not taken place here since the
great glacier retired.
The foundations of the great lake
country are alluvium upon limestone
upon ingneous rock. The strata
are regularly laid like the good
Missionary OF the ages. 1t is well done.
Arch rock at Mackinac, Pillar rock,
the numerous twisted and odd
foundation of stone in Michigan hills
would not have stood these ages had
there been serious earthquake.
Yet there was the Earthquake"

see it every autumn daily in the
