Scientist Says the World "Shim-

SEISMoGRAPHS KNOCKED OUT
Temblor Was of Unusual Violence and
Continued Four Hours-Traeed 20
Some Point in the Pacific

Washington. Feb. IA "lost" earth
quake shook the whole world one
twenty-fifth Of an inch ON Tuesday.
The measurement was made by Prof.
A. o. Lawson at the University Of Cali
fornia at Berkeley.
The earthquake was lost because,
while IL made violent records on every
seiSmograph in the country and I'm
Mexico City, estimates of its location
varied in every instance. II is prob
able the temblor was In the Pacific or
along its American COASTS.
Lasts Four Hours.
The quake, of unusual severity and
intensity, was somewhere i'm the lower
Pacific region, according To the belief
prevailing here.
The seismograph at Georgetown uni
versity observatory caught the first in
dicatiOn OF the disturbances at s :24
a. m, and l. minutes later, at S:36,
they became SO violent the needle was
thrown or the record. They continued
with diminishing force until well past
noon.
The general direction of the dis
turbance appeared to be south by west
and several thousand miles distant.
IL was suggested that lower Mexico or
Central America might have been hit.
Records in East.

tinued earthquake tremOrs recorded

Gals estimated the quake was about
4,SOO miles southwest. Unusually Sc
we're earthquake disturbances also
were recorded on the seismograph at

mors were roughly estimated to have
occurred 2G00 miles away. Probably
I'm Mexico.
The seismograph at Cornell univer-
sity at Ithaca, ". ", recorded a quake
Of such violence the registering needle
was dislodged. The tremors were es-
timated ut about $500 miles east or
west of there.
An unusually heavy earthquake
shock was recorded nj Harvard's sels-
mOgraphic station. The recording
needles left the drum. Prof. ]. Il.

quake took place about 2,77S miles
from Cambridge.

servers reported that the disturbances
probably occurred about 2,100 miles
from Mexico City.

San Francisco. Feb. despite the
fact that no advices had been received
either by cable or wireless to confirm
the theories. observers are inclined to
believe the earthquake which shook
the entire earth and was character
lied by seismologists as one of the
most violent I'm years. had its center
either of the southern or northern Pa
cific coast.
Observers at the University of Cali
