CAUSE OF EARTHQUAKE.
Great Disaster'a Origin Explained by
- n Scfon ~ ~

aFe0t Dlsaster,s Origin Exp1Atned by
Scientist.
The following Is the opinion Of a not
ed American scientist on the cause Of
the San Francisco earthquakes:
DR.. g. f. Becker, chief OF the divi-
sion of physical researches Of the
United States geological survey, who
lived many years in California and
who has made special study Of seis-
mological disturbances for the govern
ment, says the earthquake in Califor-
MIA has no relation to the recent erup-
tons Of Vesuyius. He ascribes the
"shake" to an unusually acute develop
ment In the process Of "faulting."
which has been going on along the Pa
citic coast for thousands of years, says
a Washington special to the New York
Tribune. This process consists In re-
adjustment of the rocks forming the
crust of the earth
''The people OF California" said DR..
Becker, ''have not been having their
usual monthly shakes recently. and
SO this time they got them in lump.
The case might be likened to that of a
man suffering with fever, whose .regu-
lar attack of chills In mild form had
perhaps been postpolfSd for long
time and then the disease shook him
all at once in aggravated form.
'The coast line of the Pacific has
been rising for a thousand years. This
Is shown by the geologic formation on
the coast, old beaches being found
high upon the cliffs where the sea evil
IDENTIFY at one time washed. There is
peculiar geologic mark to be noted
also in the traces Of fish known
popularity as the date fish, which bur-
rows into. the beaches. The holes made
by these fish are found high up on the
cliffs, showing that the coast has grad
ually risen above the sea- Along the
coast of California, at relatively
short distance from the shore. the
shoal water suddenly becomes very
deep and from a depth Of few
fathoms changes abruptly to a depth
Of perhaps thousands of fathoms. This
great submarine cliff extends all the
way to Chile, the same geological for
nation being noted generally. Con-
tinuing the examinations still more,
we find that this same general forma-
ton extends to Japan. Actually 1t
may be described as great line of
uplift in the earth's surface extending
all the way from Singapore around to
Valparaiso
cit would not be surprising If we
heard, Of severe shakes along the ifs
sure extending from California to
South America, which have describ
ed, and possibly we will hear reports
of disturbance in Chile similar to
that In San Francisco, but it would be
due to the same change in elevation.
would like to add that do not think
there Is any danger Of a recurrence Of
a severe earthquake of this kind in
California for very long period OF
time or course there may be mild
shakes for some time, but the read
justment of the earth's crust in this
disturbance was probably SO complete
that there will be no change In the
geological formation for many years.
The people Of San Francisco should be
encouraged to 60 ahead and build up
their city greater than ever, because
they may feel confident that the worst

HasheeSh.

Hasheesh, or the Indian hemp, is a
resinous substance produced from the
tops of the plant in India. Some au.
thorities state that it is gathered by
men who dress themselves in leather
clothing and run to and fro IN the
hemp fields, afterward scraping off the
resin from their garments, while other
authorities say that it Is gathered by
rubbing the tops in the hands and aft
erward scraping the hands. Its mar
eOtic properties are we'll known.

Norwegians have primitive way Of
breaking up old, wornout wooden

rocky parts of the coast and, after an

the next storm to smash them to pieces.
After the storm the floating fragments
are picked up and sold for firewood
