Earthquake Magnitudes


OF little use outside of Japan. for they
depend upon japanese architecture
and geology. But the striking fea-
ture OF his scale is the attempt to give
the motion, or rather the maximum
acceleration of motion, which accom-
panies each grade. Per second it is:
u 300 nm; (2) 800; 90 1900; (4)
1000; (5) $500; Co 1000; Cd very
much above 1000. Earthquakes of this
extreme intensity cannot be measured
with precision because the instruments
are destroyed or disabled. That the
California quake is of the 10th grade
by either the Rossi-Forel or the Mer
CALI scale goes without saying. How
1t stands on the Omori scale can per.
haps not be determined till it's effects
have been scientifically studied. The
three highest of the Omori grades are
substantially as follows
(5) All ordinary brick houses very
severely damaged; about per cent of
the wooden houses destroyed; EN-
bankments damaged; railway lines
contorted; masonry walls damaged;
cracks one or two feet wide produced
along river banks, water in river
thrown over the banks; wells affected;
landslips produced
CD Temples thrown down; so per
cent of wooden houses destroyed; en-
bankments shattered; roads cracked or
depressed; railway lines contorted;
large iron bridges destroyed; cracks a
few feet in width formed in the sand;
low grounds convulsed; numerous
landslips.
CD All buildings except a very few
wooden houses totally destroyed; some
houses, gates, etc, projected one to
three feet; remarkable landslips, ac-
companied by faults and shears of the
ground.
Japan has had few examples OF this
highest grade, notably the Mino Dwarf
quake of 1891, which killed 1879 peo-
pie and totally destroyed 1850
houses. But more notable example
was the quake of June II, 1897, in
Bengal and Assam, which was more
powerful over an area of GOOD square
miles than the Charleston quake was
at any point. Hills were moved bod
lily "a feet vertically, IL feet horizon
tally. Not a masonry structure was
left in all this territory; trees half a
foot thick were snapped. In these
huge commissions destruction to prop
erty gives no measure; geological eff
!, fects must be studied before magni-
tude can be appraised. 1t is possible
that at certain points the California
quake attained such violence but the
early reports indicate rather shock
of the Immediately lower grade, re-
sulting in disproportionate destruction
because of the populous cities affected
and the fires that followed

message affirmed that the restoration

necessary to preserve the sculptures
and other remains of renaissance art

be asked for in the next budget. En-

recent years against the projects for

The Bishop and the Bath.

Once when about to leave town he
gave strict orders to the house maid
about the care Of his ''bawth" and
said that mo one was to be allowed
the use of it."
The temptation grew on her and the
girl took plunge. The bishop re-
turned Unexpectedly and, finding
traces of the recent stolen bath, he
questioned the maid so closely that
she had to confess that she was the
culprit. Eying her sternly, he saiu

REBUILDING A CITY.

Galveston. Texas, troubled by no
question of recovering insurance on
the property destroyed or damaged by
the great tidal wave of September,
1900. at once set on foot plans for Sc
curing the city against similar disas-
ter. Yet this work, which will cost
about $4,000. 900 all told, will not be
completed until seven years after the
hurricane. At this rate 1t should take
a quarter century. to restore San
Francisco. where The damage exceeds
5000. 900. 900, though rebuilding is a
more rapid operation than dredging,
filling and raising a city above its
original level and its original founda-
tons.
The Galveston sea wall, dedicated
in August. 1904, is 1888 feet long,
exclusive Of the 1000 feet the general
government decided 70 construct to
Fort Crockett. and has a height OF
II feet above low mean tide and a
breadth of 1e feet at the base and FIVE
feet at the top. The island on which
the city is situated slopes upward
from the bay TO Broadway, the high
est point in town, which is about
eight feet above mean low tide. Sea
going dredges from Holland are now
employed in filling this basin so as to
give the sea wall a protection OF
solid earth. To facilitate this work
q canal forty feet deep was dug inside

WATER POWERS OF NORTHERN

Years.
In no state are water powers
destined 10 be of greater Importance
than in Wisconsin. The developed
water power has increased from 3d.
200 horsepower in 1870 to $4,000
horsepower in 1900, but so far as
known on no important river in the
state has all the available power
been developed. In paper by L.
S. Smith, just issued by the United
States geological survey, as water
supply and irrigation paper No. 1856,
are discussed the developed and UNI
developed water powers in the drain
age basins of Fox, Menimonee,
Peshtigo, Oconto, Wolf, Wisconsin,
Black, Chippewa, and st, Croix rivers.
and on the streams tributary to Lake
Superior. This report, which may
be obtained on application TO the di-
rector of the United States geologi-
cal survey at Washington, contains
profiles of all streams that have been
surveyed. all available information
regarding stream flow, and descrip-
lions of conditions at points where
power is developed or available.
The United States geological sur
vey is now making additional sur
veys of streams in cooperation with
the state of Wisconsin. This work
is in charge Of Professor l., S. Smith.
During the present fiscal year the
state and the United States geologi-
cal survey have each allotted $3.50
to this work, which is being pushed
as rapidly as the available funds per-
NIT. Its extension will depend upon
further cooperation and appropria-
tons by the state.
