THINK THERE'S
NO CONNECTION

Prof. Winslow Upton of Brown. who is
an authority on everything pertaining to
seismic disturbances. etc, thinks there
Is nothing in common between the two
disasters of Vesuvius and San Francisco
their coming al the same time being
merely a coincidence.
Prof. Upton says that II the earthquake
was due to a geenral disturbance inside
the earth, there IL a probability OF other
similar disasters in different parts OF the
world.
II. however. the disturbance was simply
local one, as was most likely. there is
no reason to believe that the San Fran
cisco calamity will be repeated elsewhere
IL a general interior disturbance I'm the

suvius eruption and the California earth

there would have been sfm1ar occurrences

Prof. Frank II. Seagrave agrees with the
views Of Prof. Upton. He sees no con

ties and thinks the San Francisco earth

this fact only serves TO Increase his dread
OF the result.

CHICAGO MAY HAVE
VISITATION BY
EARTHQUAKE YET

Chicago, April 19-There are slight indi-
cations that Chicago may experience an

TO Prof j. Paul Goode the University
OF Chicago geology faculty. The presence
or certain species OF rock i'm the earth in
side or near the city limits he believes
Is an indication OF a condition that mtght
result In the dismantlng of a portion OF
the city.
There Is no absolute geological proof
that Chicago may have an earthquake in
the next few years" Prof. Goode decIar-
ed "One can detect slight symptoms,
however Certain formations of certain
kinds OF rock underneath Chicago might
he taken as an indication An earthquake
Is as simple as the breaking OF a timber
81 believe that the seat OF the disturb
ance at San Francisco was about seven
miles below the surface OF the earth. II
was quite probable a slipping OF the crust
or the earth. Generally one block OF the
crust slips up while the other slips down
The focus OF the disturbance may be
noted by the direction Of the cracks In
the wrecking buildings.
The Sierra Madeira mountains ar,
young and arc growing slowly and mo
doubt their growing was the cause OF the
