known These surface waves are quite dli-
ferent from the other waves that nave oeeh
described in several respects. First, they are
of extremely long periods. sometimes exceed
ing two minutes in length. while an ordinary
wave is very much shorter. Second. they are
long distance waves and are not the results
of earthquakes three four thousand miles
away as earthquakes violent enough to pro-
duce these effects at that distance must be, as
Major Dutton points out, necessarily OF great
power and could not escape notice and world
wide celebrity unless occurring in localities
very far from human observation. or perhaps
in the depths of midocean."
In regard to earthquakes occurring under
the sea little is known especially as to the
recoru of changes made in the topography of
the sea bottom. In some cases. however, in
formation has been obtained particularly with
reference to some of the earthquakes on the
coast of Greece. A number of cables had
been broken in that vicinity and soundings
taken when they were mended revealed some
startling facts In one case, according to Sails
bury, where soundings were taken from the
bow and stern of the ship which repaired the
cable, there was a difference of more than
1900 feet in the depth of water at the two
ends of the ship. When the cable was laid
few years before the bottom was practically
level.

have very large amplitude of vibration and
are TOO slow to be due to elasticity. In length
they vary from 30 to 100 feet and in height
from TWO inches to one foot. These waves
are probably due - election or refraction
from the deeper transverse waves when these
