WALL STREETS ABORTIVE

The New Orleans States says In
spite of all its tricks and villainies Wall
street has failed utterly to precipitate a
financial crash on the country. There
have been a series of stick panics and
now there is big bank scare brought
on by the speculative doings OF several
captains of high finance, but the country
remains serene and gives little attention
to what is transporting in New York.
While money may be tight in some OF
the money centers, there seems to be nc
lack of 1t i'll the country at large. the
farmers have made good crops and are
sen1lng them to market as fast as they
can. and the railroads have more traffic

has there been the slightest check to the
output of the manufacturing industries,
With such conditiins the launching of a
financial panic is not easy task. because
there is no reason or excuse for it, and
the people aware Of the fact decline to
be alarmed by the antics OF Wall street.
1t has been quite we'll understood that

William H. Brewer of the Yale Scientific
School in discussing last night the Kingston
earthquake was asked II 1t was caused by
a slipping of the face of the earth similar
to that which occurred at San Francisco.
He said
1T may have been. but It is difficult to
tell from the meager reports which have
reached here. There is at present a period
OF earthquakes which the astronomers and
scientists are trying to account for in
various alarming ways, saying that the
heavenly bodies are nearing the earth and
all that sort of thing. No one can tell the
cause of this particular attack, and your
theory is as good mine. 1t may have
been that Jamaica was just in the line of
disturbance which started somewhere in
the ocean, or 1t may have been that a far
away tremor which reached the city just
when the conditions were favorable caused
the damage"
Isn't a tidal wave a usual accompani-
ment TO the earthquake in tropical coun-
tries?"
If there is another tremor near by there
may be tidal wave anywhere from a few
minutes to several hours after the first
quake. but we have had no reports of any
such wave The main force of the shock
was probably felt at sea, and We'll never
near OF 1t. for the fishes aren't good earth
quake reporters"

HUDSON MAY BE VISITED.
State Geologist Clarke Discusses seis-
mic Disturbances

ALBANY, January 17.-Accordine to State
gion Of New York may experience a seismic
disturbance similar to that which damaged
Kingston, Jamaica, on Monday.
I'VE are accustomed" said Clarke today,
ito think Of this part Of the earth as very
old and very stable, but the earth floor Is
still in highly imperfect adjustment and
while the Mohawk carries ita annual heavy
load Of debris into the Hudson and the
Hudson shifts it on to the seaboard the
very transference of such a load changes
the stresses on the earth floor, which may
ultimately be relieved only by a readjust-
ment of the rock blocks.
This readjustment goes on quietly by the
displacement Of small blocks or suddenly
by the movement of a large one but that
1t is actually in progress right here may be
seen at a number Of places along the Hud-
son valley, where the soil has been dis
turbed by the recent movement of the rocks
beneath"
The joints and fault planes which inter-
east, west, north and south are Old wounds
in the rock crust, which have never been
and never will be healed until the earth has
shrunken to dead planet and all the rivers
have run dry.
The most violent and destructive earth
quake that has ever occurred il America
since the coming of the white man was due
to displacement along such a weakness
line running up the st. Lawrence valley
and down Lake Champlain. Though this
happened more than 200 years ago. such
lapse of time is infinitesimal geologically,
and the region is no more exempt today
from such disturbance than it was then.
