WHEN THE EARTH QUAKES.
Stresses and Strains to Which Our
Globe Is Subjected.

When the stairs creak and the furni-
ture gives out mysterious cracking
sounds at night we sometimes sit up In
bed and wonder If there Is n burglar
about. but it doesn't occur to us that
what we hear is really an earthquake
on a small scale. The night air has
caused the wood to contract with q
snap. thus accounting for the alarming
sounds. This is just exactly what the
earth is doing periodically. TO a mi
crobe, reposing on the polished sur
face of the table. this disturbance is
probably as violent as an earthquake
is TO human being.
An earthquake is n terrible thing. 1t
comes without warning. 1t is over be-
fore one knows which way to fly. and
its fury can be abated by no man.
Yet to the geologist earthquakes are
only symptoms. They are not causes
SO much as results-resuIts of great
stresses and strains within the earth

time TO time. II the rocks on the shell

These strains and stresses accumulate
steadily within the earth. The point
at which they have once found relief is
