Two Distinct Series of Shocks Are Felt

Among the most interesting earth

shocks are felt. separated by an inter-
val OF two or three seconds In each
series the vibrations increase to
maximum and die away. the whole

being eight to twelve seconds In some
parts Of the earthquake zone the most
powerful shocks are nearly always Of
this kind. When they occur, how
ever, there is always a strip Of coun-
try where only one shock is felt.
Apparently there are two distinct
points Of origin for these shocks. and
the strip where a single shock is felt is
that where the two sets Of vibrations
arrive simultaneously The fact that
this band is straight shows that the
twin shocks occur together and that
therefore one is not a consequence Of
the other. Probably there is an S
shaped bend in some interior layer OF
rock and the twin foci are at the points
Of greatest isplacement-namely, the
bends OF the S. The movement that
