BIG QUAKE RECORDED HERE
Weather Bureau SeismOgraph Shows
Great Disturbances.
Calculations Prove that TFemOrs
Occurred About G.3OO Miles
from Washington.

Scientists are eagerly awaiting cable
dispatches from some point approximately
$500 miles from Washington where an
earthquake Of great violence and lasting
an hour and half occurred about noon
yesterday, Washington time
This conclusion is reached by the
Weather Bureau officials from seismic
disturbance of Aeat magnitude recorded
on the seismOgraph in this city
bureau Issues Bulletin.
The phenomenon was made the subject
of special bulletin issued by the
Weather Bureau last night, which reads
as follows:
"A distinct earthquake. of considerable
magnitude. was reported at the Weather
Bureau near noon of September ., 1907
The first preliminary tremor began at II
hours q minutes and 42 seconds a. m,
seventy-ffth meridian time The second
preliminary tremors began at 11:32:5S, and
were characterized by waves of very
considerable period. 30 to 50 seconds.
The strong motion OF the earthquake
set in at about II hours 9S minutes. aud
continued for about twelve minutes
namely until 1850 4. m.. with several pc
Tiods Of maximum amplitude.
THE displacement of the ground was
nearly the same in both the east-west
and north-south components of motion,
and amounted tO.abOut 40 millimeters for
the east-west. as compared with 80 milli-
meters for the north-south component
The total duration of the earthquake ex-
ceeded an hour and a half. and there is
every evidence that at some place several
thousand miles from Washington a great
earthquake occurred"
It so happened that Dr. F. OmOri. the
distinguished secretary of the Earthquake
Investigations Commissions of Japan. was
present at the Weather Bureau. and
while inspecting the seismOgraphs. wit
messed the registration of this earthquake
Mr.. OmOTi has written many papers bear
ing on seismological matters and has
given an equation from which it is possi-
bic TO compute approximately the dis
tance Of the origin Of an earthquake from
the station At which a record has been
produced
Applying this equation TO the present
record. We are led TO conclude that the
origin Of the earthquake must have been
approximately $500 miles from Washing
ton.

that at Ala o'clock Monday after
noon the motion of a great earth
quake. which did not reach its maximum
until 5:0l p. m, began TO be recorded
there. The amplitude of motion was FIVE

At the time the professor telegraphed
G.15 p. M the duration Of the earth
quake was already greater than three
hours and the shock was still continu-

quake is about 7.00) miles from England.
There are two great seismic regions in

the Sunda Islands, in the Malay archi-
