SPREAD TERROR IN ALASKA
Earthquake Shocks, Though Little
Damage Is Reported, Were Cause
of Intense Alarm.

The most violent upheavals Of the
earth's surface since the terrible
earthquake which destroyed San Fran
cisco are those which took place in
Alaska on July 6. The earth rocked
continuously for 40 seconds, and al
though the disturbance is not reported
to have caused much loss Of life,
It has filled the people with terror.
Following so 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
most far-reaching nature are among
the dread forebodings.
The bottom of the sea is also re.
ported to have been considerably ele-
waited. seriously affecting the climate
of the Alaskan coast through shifting
the warm ocean currents, and also
creating new fishing banks which may
become of inestimable value.
Some geological experts believe that
the eventual closing Of the Bering
straits is among the possibilities. After
this, perhaps, one may travel all rail-
from Halifax, N. s.. to Lisbon, Por-
tugal, by way of Canada, Alaska, St
IBERIA, Germany, Spain, etc.
