lEAKTlIQ QUAKE CENTRES on

ed that these are seismoiogic oOServa-
tions, made of those shocks which were
perceptible to the human senses with
out the aid of instruments.
The study Of the geographical dis
trbution of earthquake centers brings
out some significant facts, but at the
same time 1t fails to account satisfac-
torily for some phenomena observed.
AS has been remarked earthquakes are
Invisible into two classes, volcanic and
tectonic, according to their causes. 1t
is not always possible, however. to de-
clare with confidence to which Of these
classes a particular quake should be
assigned.
One of the significant facts when
ever the question Of class arises Is the
situation of the epicenter with respect
to an active or recently extinct vol
cano. Close proximity to a volcano
raises n presumption that the quake
is Of volcanic origin. Tectonic quakes
also have certain characteristics which,
though not always exclusively exhibited
by them. are much more common with

up the porter and pay twopcunc before
they can get to their own apartments.
Similarly, too, anybody wanting to
leave the house between that time and

Destructive earthquakes are so In

ciated that seismic shocks are really Of
almost daily occurrence. Hardly Il lay

of these, fortunately, are mere quiverS

Pacific coast no marked development of
seismic activity appears until we reach
southern Mexico, in the State Of Co..
ina. Accasional reports are made Of
quakes in the civinity of the great
volcano Collma, and the City Of Mex

Of moderate intensity, and by occa.

is a sudden and great decrease of sells

narrow belt, extending parallel to the
coast, reaching into Guatemala and
through the entire length Of the Central
American States In the Isthmus of
Panama"
The Central American and South
Mexican seismic regions indicate vol.
canic origin. These regions are famous
for their volcanoes, which are moro
numerous and closely adjacent than
anywhere else in the world. Through
out the 800 miles Of volcanic coast
line earthquakes have always becn
abundant and often highly destructive.
In 10 quakes of which records have
been made, It was found that their
epicenters occurred In close proximity
to the volcanoes, and never more than
remarkable fact that none Of the not
able quakes observed In this district
suggests a tectonc origin.
Following the coast line into South
America, two seismic regions are en-
countered at Panama, both OF them
at q great distance. One Is In Vene-
zucla, far to the eastward the other
in Ecuador, far to the southwark "Our
knowledge OF earthquakes In the An

usually too insufficient In detail to en-
able us to form very definite opinion
as to their nature and class. Some of
them originate In places which are not
far distant from volcanoes, but whether
near enough to create the presumption
that they are really associated with
them Is not always known. On the
other hand many Andean quakes dis
play the tectonic character so clearly
that their origin Is equally free from
doubt
Both classes, however, are abund-
ant. From point about 900 miles
north Of Callao to beyond Valdlvia, In
Chile, the South American coast has
been subject to earthquakes Of the
greatest energy. Sometimes they have
originated upon the sea-bottom. In
these cases great sea waves have rolled
