The Causes of
Earthquakes.
Theories and Facts Bearing on the Recent
Remarkable Phenomena In itaIy-The
Continuance of Shocks In
That Country.

~OOR Italy! The troubles of that
classic land consist not alone in
the fact that the tremors of
Mother Earth have already
done great damage in the southern
portion of the kingdom, but in the cir
cumstance also that the shocks con-
tinue and seem TO be affecting a wider
extent of territory. What does nature
intend to do with this fair land, so ia
nous in history and so blessed in
many respects by Providence? With
all it's natural attractions 1t would be
a dangerous place to dwell if the fate
of Messina or POmpeii were constantly
impending.
Inhabitants Of Rome, Naples, Flor
ence and Milan are becoming alarmed
now because of the frequency of slight
shocks in their vicinity and the seem
ing increase in their severity.
Biologists think that the relief which
the first shock gives to the internal
stresses that caused it may not be
complete and that further adjustments
Of the rock strata may be necessary to
restore equilibrium. In the present
case the only serious harm done was
wrought at the outset. Since the shock
of Dec. 2S little life has been lost, and
such walls as have been affected were
lettering before.
The old theory that the interior of
the earth is fluid mass has few ex-
ponents now. Though calculation indi-
Gates that at depth of twenty or thir-
ty miles the heat must be 50 intense
that it would, if exerted at the surface,
melt the hardest known substances, n
counteracting influence is certainly at
work. Laboratory experiments prove
that pressure raises the temperature
at which any material will soften. So
stupendous is the pressure exerted on
the interior of the earth by twenty or
thirty miles of rock above it that in

Geronimo died of pneumonia after

WATER FRONT OF MESSINA AFTER EARTH
QUAKE.
the Judgment of eminent astronomers
Professor George Ii. Darwin Of Cam
bridge is one-the globe has the rigidi-
ty and far more than the hardness of
the hardest steel The late Lord kel-
vim. the foremost physicist of the
world during the latter part Of his ca
.eer. also entertained this opinion.
Italy is not the only country which
is getting a severe shaking nowadays.
! Ever since the earthquake shocks be
gan in southern Italy, on Dec. %, the
seismOgraph at the weather bureau in
longing to the same service, at Mount
Weather. Va, have been cutting up
strange FRANKS, and the earth seems to
be still quaking The seismograph is
the official recorder of earthquake
shocks and writes its story with a
stylus on black paper The magnet
ograph photographs it's records on
sensitive sheets, each variation Of the
| magnetic field being indicated instant
ly by point of light darted on the pa
per from q mirror. The latter instru-
ment recorded the Italian disaster at
the instant of its occurrence, while
the seismograph began making its
strange tremulous writing nearly ten
minutes after the forces Of nature had
wrought their havoc.
"It is impossible to tell just what
magnetic disturbance took place in
Italy, but that it was a CONFUSION Of
| the magnetic field of some sort is
shown by the fact that the quake was
| instantly recorded on the magnetic
graph" said Professor Charles F. Mar
vim, chief of the instrument division of
the weather bureau. "Since the even
ing Of the 9th, corresponding to early
morning of the 2Sth in Italy. when we
| got the first records Of the preliminary
Quakes, our instruments have been
pretty busy.
Professor Marvin added that every
! few days shocks of greater or less Sc
verify had been recorded. many of
/ them affecting our own continent. Ac-
cording to the records, It took the
earthquake waves or propagations six
minutes and fifty seconds to travel from
San Francisco to Washington.
The photograph reproduced here
with showing the appearance Of the
water front Of Messina after the earth
quake was one of the first sent to this
country and was taken shortly after
the terrible disaster occurred. 1t indi-
Gates how the splendid and substantial
stone buildings that faced the quay In
a long semicircle were shaken down or
irretrievably shattered by the force OF

studying our own chaos of financial
laws and the monetary systems of
other nations.
Congress created the bureau Of
corporations for this purpose. After
years of thorough work by the bu-
reau, no man in any party proposes
to destroy it or stop its labors. The
same is equally true of the bureau
of labor. Congress created the in
dustrial commission to find out GER
tain facts. The report of this COM
mission and those Of the Interstate
commerce commission resulted in the
law for the department of commerce
and labor, the bureau of corporations,
the Elkins law, the rate law, the i'm
migration law and most of the re-
form laws of the last six or seven
years.
Tariff Commission of 1882.
"The tart ffcommission of 1882 de-
vised and recommended the most i'm

most of the administrative tariff laws
of the treasury department which
have since been adopted. Congress
provided for the administrative ma
chinety designed by this tariff COM
mission
"Rrt the tariff commission we ASK
for now does not go so far as the
tariff commission of 1882 went. We
are now asking only commission of
experts to find out facts and make
'assifications. Congress is to fix du-
ties from these facts and adjust them

inevitable, because committees of

were sung, the singers being dressed

SENATOR TALKED

made him double victor The pro-
gram of the first session included
speeches by Van Cleave, Henry S.
Towne. president of the Merchants
Association of New York; Senator
Brown, of Nebraska: former Cover
nor Guild, of Massachusetts, and
Senator eBveridge.
Senator Beveridge said in part:
within less than four months a
new tariff will have been made. i
hope and believe it will be the bes.
tariff that congress ever has con
structed. 1t will be historic in this:
that it will be the last American tar
iff created without the aid of tariff
commissions commission to get
facts and make classifications for
congress; and not to fix duties, which
is the eXclusice business of congress.
Immediate revision must not be
delayed until a tariff commission is
created and has made necessary IN
vestigations and arranged scientific
classifications-that would require at
least two years and ought to take a
longer period. So, for the last time,
We must have tariff bui1ded in the
ole way. But that this shall be the
last tariff thus builded, we soon must
provide a commission of tariff ex-
perts. The present emergency never
must be faced again.
Tariff Building on a Business Basis.
Heretofore both parties have
builded our tariffs without sufficient
knowledge of the facts, without scien-
tific classification of schedules Both
parties, whether framing a so-called
revenue tariff or a protective tariff,
have handled this intricate subject
in a way which would have crippled
any business man or corporation
handling their enterprises in the
same fashion. Both parties have
made the tariff exclusively political:
have waged campaigns as to whether
our tariff policy should be on the
protective or revenue basis; work
preparatory to revision has been de-
layed until the people have ordered
immediate revision; and so, finally, q
new tariff has been rushed through
without time or ability to get the
facts, without either the technical
knowledge or scientific skill to make
classifcations.
Other Commissions for Less I'm
portant Subjects.
Except upon the tariff, congress
has seen the Wisdom of a commission
Of experts to examine all sorts Of
subjects and report to congress. Yet
the tariff is more difficult, intricate
and far reaching than all other pres
ent economic problems combined, ey-
cepting only the problem of currency
and banking In currency and bank
ing congress has acknowledged that
it cannot wisely legislate until COM
mission shall have spent years in
