'GEoRGEToWN sEISMoGRAPH
 RECORDS BIG EARTHQUAKE

Washington, Dec. 16-Somewhere, prehaps leagues deep beneath the roll ing blue of the Atlantic and forever hidden from the eyes of man, the earths crust was torn and twisted to- day by titanic convulsion.
 For hours the earth's surf ce shud- dered under the feet of it's needless mill lions Force waves thousands of miles :n length swept outward from that storm center like rirples on pool. Ye. only the unsleeping seismographs noted t and inscI ibed a mute record for watchful scientists who guard them.
 First word of the disturbance came from Georgetown university here. When the Rev Father Francis A. Tondorf, di- rector of the seismographic observatory, peered at his delicate instruments this morning, they told him of a shock more severe than any recorded in the last two years.
 Father Toneorf sent out word of the shock, thinking it might be another great disaster As the day went by. cables or telegraph wires, leaving to
 conjecture the scere and exact nature of the disturbance.
 Experienced observer that he is. Fa- ther Tondorf classed the record of his instruments as that of terrible shock. It began soon after o'clock this morning here, reached it's greatest intensity towards 8 o'clock and was still leaving a wavering. diminishing trail after noon, as the earth slowly settled to quiet.
 The chart indicated an east-wester- ly direction. Father Tondorf estimated the distance from Washington at 2S00
 miles. First impressions were indis- | tinct, he said, while records of great disturbances in South or Central Amer ica have been recorded sharply and clearly at the observatory. It might have been ,the scientist said, subma-
 rine disturbance, a new mountain peak 1 flung up under the waves. There was no way to judge, he added. The dis | tance eastward would place the scene i not far from the Azores. but no word of an earthquake came from any quar. | f1r
