QUAKE !.
Severest Ever in the United
States is Described by
the Survey.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Mar. 2S-
Every newspaper account. of a Sc
we're earthquake anywhere in North
America as registered on the delicate
seismographs brings rather I'M
pleasantly to mind the fact that the
United States is not entirely free
from these disturbances.
Witness the San Francisco disas-
ter of 1906, and that at Charleston,
s. G., in 1885. These earthquakes
are famous because OF the loss that
was caused and the suffering that
followed in their wake. In severity
and extent of disturbance, however,
they are not to be compared with
what is known as the New Madrid
earthquake, which occurred princi-
pally in southeastern Missouri,
northeastern Arkansas, and western
Kentucky and Tennessee during the
year following December 16, 1911
The Charleston and San Francisco
disturbances were acutely felt be-
cause they affected the congested
population and the structures In two
large cities. The New Madrid earth
quake left no marked impression on
the history of the country, because
although far more severe and pro-
longed 1t occurred in spaEsely set
tied and at that time unimportant
region. The destructive period OF
the San Francisco earthquake oc-i
cupied only few minutes. that in
the lower Mississippi valley persisted
at intervals for more than year
