",The eastern part Of the United

felt hereabouts since New England
was settled were In 1888, in 1927 and
in 1855, with a much lesser one in
1872.

brought down 1900 chimneys and the
gable ends of brick houses in Boston.
But the really large earthquakes are
in the portions of the earth such as
Japan. the East Indies. Alaska and the
Pacific ocean floor. where the noun
tains are new geologically and where

are often identical with earthquake

about twenty earthquakes strong

every day In the year somewhere IN

of these are serious. The Harvard
