Earthquakss.

Earthquakes generally do their WORK
with great rapidity, but there are ex-
ceptions. While Caracas and Lisbon
were destroyed in few minutes. the
Calabrian earthquakes beginning In
1888 lasted four years. Earthquakes
travel across the earth at velocities
varying between several hundred and
several thousand feet second, the
greater the intensity Of the shock the
greater being the velocity. The sea
waves that frequently accompany
earthquakes also travel at tremendous
speeds. A submarine earthquake near
the coast of Japan In 1854 gave rise to
sea waves which trayersed the whole
breadth Of the Pacific at the rate OF
$40 miles an hour. At Simoda. Japan.
the waves from this earthquake were
thirty feet high. At San Diego, Cal.
they were only six inches high.
