Now what has all this to do with earth
quake waves? Very much. The same kind OF
waves as have been described as ripping the
surface Of a pond or scurrying across a field
of grain are the waves that move through the
earth when a shock, whatever be its origin,
calls them into being.
Suppose we imagine a heavy charge OF
dynamite exploded down in the
earth. The earth in the immediate neighbor-
hood of the explosion will first be compressed,
even AS the water particles next to the stone
thrown into the pool were pushed nearer to-
gether. Then the elasticity Of the earth ex-
erts itself and it Immediately rebounds, just

a cause. different from fitting and as yet un'
known. These surface waves are quite olI-
ferent from the other waves that nave Deen
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 or 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 mid-ocean." 49,
In regard to earthquakes occurring under
the, sea little is known, especially as to the.
record of changes made in the topography of
the sea bottom. In some cases, however, in
formation has been obtained particularly with
coast OF Greece. A number of cables had.
taken when they were mended revealed some
bury, where soundings were taken from the

THE OLD VIOLIN

Money talks just as loudly in tha
realm of music as anywhere else.
The despised violin which merely is
an incumbrance when it is thought
to be worth not more than $40 be-
comes the chief ornament of the
household when an expert says 1t is
worth not less than $1,000. In Chi
cago there is a business nan who
owns a violin. He inherited it from
his father, who was a musician. The
business nan does not. play. One
of his friends is a loverpof violin mu-
sic. That friend often had told the
business man the violin was a good
n and that he ought to treasure it.
The business man regarded the ad-
vice as that of an enthusiast. One
day the argument became so warn
the friend insisted that the question
be settled at once by carrying the
instrument to a professor of music
who is admittedly an authority on
~violins.

The form of wave observed in such a neid as
has been described is known as a longitudinal
or normal wave and is the kind of wave IN
which sound travels.
In both kinds of waves, transverse and
longitudinal, we observe that the motlon Oh
the particles is pendulum-like In its cnarac-
ter. Let us consider what we may learn from
the observation of an ordinary pendulum IN
vibration. Suppose we suspend a weight Dy
means of a string and start it to swaying to
and fro. The distance covered in a complete
swing is termed, as given above, the ampll-
tude of vibration; the time required TOT d
complete swing back and forth is called the
wave period. If we cause the. pendulum 10
swing to and fro through a greater arc we
observe that the time or period is just the
same as before; in other words, the amplluue
or width Of swing may be increased OF ue-
creased, but the time or period required Tor
each vibration is always the same for any
given length. If we shorten the pendulum
we find it will vibrate much faster. II we
~lengthen it i it will vibrate much slower. rem
dulums of different lengths. then. have diner
ent times Of vibration.
Now suppose we combine two pendulums
of different lengths into one. Each ofltne
component pendulums will strive to do just
what it was doing before and the resulting
motion, as shown in figure /, which represents
a double pendulum, will be quite curiOus.asln-
stead of swaying soberly back and forth,aas
every well-regulated pendulum is supposed to-
do. it takes on a curious, Keeling m~otionae%f.

are caused to reflect their wave FERNS by

~ 10 the waves that pass over the field Of
grain and are longitudinal or normal waves,
moving backward and forward in the direc-
ZION or the wave motion. even as the spokes
OF a wheel radiate from the hub and the radii
OF a circle originate at the center.
But this explosion of dynamite would not
only set these normal waves in motion, but
would give rise to another set known as trans
verse waves, corresponding to the motion
shown to exist in water waves. 1t is very easy
to see how the normal waves originate, but it
requires some little effort to understand how
the other kind is started. When the dyna-
mite explodes it imparts a peculiar, twisting
motion to the entire rock face of the cavern
in which the dynamite was exploded. This
twisting motion is the parent of the trans
verse waves and they start on their way to-
gether with the normal waves.
s. The two kinds of waves, normal and trans
verse, start out on their errands6 of destruc--
Z ton together and are generally present in
earthquakes. Sometimes, however, they sepa-
rate and travel in different directions. or one
Of them loses its energy through some svaria-
ton in the nature of the STRATA or from
some unknown cause. Whom they travel to-
Ggether theseewaves correspond in their effect
to that shown when two pendulums are acting
as one, as in the sand pendulum referred to
before. d. This explains the fact that usually
there is a yerticose or twisting motion present
in most earthquakes; but sometimes, as when
the waves separate, only an up-and-down mo-
ton, or a twisting motion alone. Normal
waves travel faster than the transverse.

from head to head. This is an excellent illustra-
ton of how a wave progresses. The wave itself Is
immaterial, a pulsation, although it travels by
means of material substances. The amplitude, as
it is termed, of a wave is the width OF the swing
of the swaying heads of grain forward or backward,
or the vertical distance from the highest part OF
the water wave to the lowest depth of the trough.
