SPREAD TERROR IN ALASKA


The most violent upheavals Of the
earth's surface since the tefribls
earthquake which destroyed San Ffsn-
cisco are those which took place h
Alaska on July 8. The earth rocked
continuously for 10 seconds, and Al
though the disturbance Il not reported
to have caused much loss Of life.
It has filled the people with terror.
Following 30 quickly after the erup-
ton Of Mt. Katmai. in the Kadiak
island. which covered the whole island
with foot Of volcanic ash. the earth
quake is supposed to have been the
result, and damage and ruin of the

the dread forcbodIngs.
The bottom Of the sea is also re-
ported to have been considerably eIe-
waited, seriously affecting the climate
Of the Alaskan coast through shifting
the warm ocean currents, and also
creating new fishing banks which uay
