CAUSE OF EARTHQUAKE
'sW0 BILLING" OF NORTH POLE
MAY Be TO BLAME.
That, at Least, is Theory 5eine
Advanced by the Sclentists--How
They Proceed to Work
It Out.

That the "wobbling" Of the north
pole may be responsible for the earth
quake that devastated central Italy, OBJ
literating many of the towns, killing
approximately 10000 of it's inhabitants
and doing damage to property in ex-
cess of s60,000,000 on January Is, is
the latest theory tentatively advanced
by scientists for such an upheaval Of
the earth's surface. 1t is generally
agreed by investigators that many
quakes are caused by volcanic action.
Many of them are also due, according
to generally accepted theories, to
slips" or sudden establishments Of the
deep-lying rock strata which form the
foundations of the earth. There are,
however, many earthquakes that can
not be attributed to either of these
causes, 30 far as scientific investigat-
ors have been able to demonstrate.
That these quakes. or some OF them.
are in some way connected with the
variation of the earth's axis from its
by some excellent authorities. In an
illustrated article the April Popular
Mechanics Magazine says:
Recent study Of these polar aber-
rations has demonstrated that the axis
is constantly moving about in spiral
course, in much the same manner as a
top travels when it is spinning on
slightly uneven surface. BY astronomi-
cal observations this path has been
traced and the discovery made that
the axis returns to about normal po-
sition approximately every seven
years. It has been found that when
the axis makes sharp turn in its very
irregular course, seismic activity Is
materially increased. From this 1t is
reasoned that the movement of the
pole probably sets up stresses in the
crust of the earth which result in vio-
lent upheavals along faults and
ridges.
"The recent upheaval in Italy cen.
tered it's force in the mountainous
province of Abruzzi. The shock last.

Axiaters, Safety Paraehutes.

The energies of practically all the
inventors of parachutes for airmen
have been directed towards the devel-
opment of device for the airman
alone, the aeroplane itself being al
lowed to drop to earth unhindered.
Parachutes for the whole aeroplane
have just been designed by French
inventor Two folded parachutes. con-
tanned in cone-shaped receptacles, are
attached to the wings as near the ends
as possible. BY means OF a simple
mechanism, operated by the movement
of a small hand lever, these para
chutes are pushed out of the contain
ers, after which they are claimed to
open freely, no matter in what man.
ner the aeroplane may be falling. All
the airman has to do is to hang on to
the aeroplane.
