His THEORY UPHELD.

Mr.. Perre it's theory of earth
quakes, which was justified by the
catastrophe at Messina, as told at
the time, has now been further con-
frmed by a French scientist, NJ. de
Parville.
NJ. de Parville holds that the sun
and moon are mainly responsible
for earthquakes. Briefly, the the
ory is that at certain times the sun
and moon are exceptionally we'll
placed for exerting their maximum
pulling effect on the earth in aprac-
tically straight line. This happens
when the moon,is perigee--at its
nearest to the earth-and at or
near II time of eclipse.
Working on this principle, NJ. de
Parville prophesied the French
earthquake of Aug. 27, being only
a few hours late in his calculation.
Other examples tending to show
the correctness of the theory can be
quoted.
On June 3 the moon approaching
perigee was also totally eclipsed,
and on that day an earthquake and
tidal wave occurred in the Dutch
East Indies. Nine days later, on
June II, the moon reached perigee,
just past its last quarter, and the
previous evening the earthquake in
France took place. An eclipse OF
| the sun and perigee position of
the moon Immediately before the
Messina earthquake.
An eclipse of the sun with the
moon in perigee happened on Janu-
airy 3, 1908, with a severe earth
quake shock at Jamaica. The
same conditions prevailed on the
day Kingston was destroyed, in
January, 1907. The moon in perl
gee with sun eclipsed also marked
the day of the eruption of Mont Pc
! lee. in Nav, 1902.
