southern part of the globe accelerated
its rotary movement in respect to the
northern part; hence, a dislocation
which caused what geographers call
the mediterranean depression" that
immense depression which, from the
Antilles to the Pacific, passing by
way of the Mediterranean sea, the
Persian gulf and the East Indies,
forms one of the zones Of least resis-
lance on the crust of the earth. There
is also found along this one of the
most sharply accumulated of volcanic
lines.
AS for the earthquakes. the area
that they cover is, as the theory
would lead us to expect, much vaster
In extent. In fact. they occupy those
regions that may be compared to in.
clined planes. They are, to a certain
extent, independent OF the volcanoes,
and intimately related to the steep in.
clines Of the earth's surface. This
explains the fact that the centers of
shaking are in general localized In
the marine abysses along the lines Of
high relief.
To Be Answered by Time.
When the crust of the earth shall
have become too thick to bend before
these periodical oscillations what will
become Of our globe? When the pres
sure upon the internal core shall be
felt perpetually, how will those gases
behave which are compressed in that
immense reservoir from which we are
separated by such an insignificant
crust? Terrific commissions will then
menace our miserable planet.
Ask an astronomer to show you the
tormented and shattered face Of our
satellite; the surface Of the moon
shows us, very probably, the desolate
aspect of world in which volcanic
action, In the spasms OF frightful
agony, has put an end to all planetary
life.
Cataclysms will transform our earth
and at that time the volcanoes Of the
central plateau will warn mankind that
the stability of the earth Is vain
word. Everything passes, everything
changes, nothing Is stable. except He
who created the world and who givei
to men when It pleases him such
grand and terrible lessons.
