of the farm buildings, even during

effect a whitewash is used which is
made with the sliced levaes of the

for twenty-four hours, producing a
solution of creamy consistence; to
this, lime is added and well mixed.

The New Madrid Earthquake.


the delicate seismographs brings
rather unpieasantly to mind the
fact that the United States is not
entirely free from these disturb
ances.
Witness the San Francisco disas-
ter of 1905, and that at Charleston.
S. c., in 1885. These earthquakes
are famous because of the loss that
they 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 6, 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 it occurred in a sparsely set
tied and at that time uninportant
region. The destructive period of
the San Francisco quake occupied
only few minutes; that in the low
er Mississippi Valley persisted at
intervals for more than a year and
held the residents in constant
state of terror or apprehension.
The history of the New Madrid
earthquake has until recently been
widely scattered in the writings of
many observers who were ia or suf-
ficiently close to the region to re-
cord the events. Several authors
have published brief accounts of
the occurrence. In Bulletin 494 of
the United States Geological Survey
very complete record of the events
distracted from previous writings.
and a discussion of the effects have
been brought together by Myron L.
Fuller. This bulletin is of marked
interest to the reading public, bu t it
also has a high Scientific value in
that it makes an important perma-
,nent addition to the readily availa-
BILE earthquake records and litera-
ture. @
The tremor5 Of this earthquake
were felt in Canada, Detroit, New
Orleans, Washington, and Boston
the last named place being LOO
miles distant. Island No 81 in
Mississippi River near Vicksburg,
Miss, disappeared completely. A
large area of land near Piney River,
Tenn, sank until the tree tops were
on a level with the surrounding
country. and alarm was felt in the
cities of Louisville and Cincinnati
1t was in the region now known as
the St. Francis basin. however, that
the most marked effects took place.
In certain parts the land surface
was uplifted and in other parts
there was great subsistence. The
