MANY QUAKES IN 1923,
SAYS PARIS SCIENTIST

Paris. Dec. lS.-The year 1923 will
witness an unusual number of earth
quakes throughout the world, accord
ing to the prediction of Able Moreux
director of the Bourges observatory.
The Chilean quakes were only the fore
runner of many more, he believes.
According to the computations of
Moreux, the 'quakes will be most Sc
we're in the Mediterranean regions,
Turkestan, Mexico, Central America,
the Antilles and Japan. In cases the
earthquakes are very severe, the ef-
fects may be felt in both North and
South America.
After o study of more than twenty
wears. Able MoreuX has evolved the
theory that earthquakes have some
connection with solar electrical &C
tivitv or inactivity. He has demon
strated that extraordinary solar ac-
tivity occurs in cycles of about eleven
wears. The middle of the present cy-
Gle is due in 1928.
While convinced that solar activity
and earthquakes have some connection,
Moreux has not yet decided in exactly
what manner. His statistics show
that quakes are most frequent in win
ter and more apt 70 occur during the
night than during the day.
Apropos of the Chilean quakes
Charles Nordmann the scientific writ
e., has some interesting speculatlons.
/ In common with most scientists he
agrees that ouakes are caused by the
cooling of the interior of the earth.
/ He points out that certain rocks in the
heated LIQUID state expand in process
of cooling thus forcing . displacement
/ in the interior of the earth, which
reached the surface.
/ He assumes that perhaps this was
/ the cause of the Chilean earthquake,
citing the statement of British sea
rautain. who sounded the sea-botton at
PfSe moment when the tidal wave
struck his ship. Instead of 10000
/ feet depth which the charts indicated,
the sounding showed only about 500
feet. Nordmanu believes tho sea-
floor may have been heaved up by the
/ disbursements in the interior of the
Garth.
Nordmann states that the earth's
crust is in motion practically cortinu'
ouSly. but the movements are so slight
as TO be unnoticed. Seisomographs N
several parts of the world record as
many as 10000 quakes per wear, OF
which only few are perceptible.

Seek Election For
|. $4,000 For Schools

Fletcher Kemp, superintendent OF
schools of Arlington county, mas en-
culated petitions through the Wash
ington district asking Il special cleo
ten on the question of $4,000 bond
issue for schools in that district. The
petitions must be signed BY 20 per
cent of the qualified voters before
Judge S. Brent, to whom they are
addressed, will fix date for the
election. v
The first expenditure, if the issue
is approved, will be for Washington
districts share of the proposed joint
high school for Washington and AT
ljngton districts. The bonds would
be sold onl yas the money rs needed
to carry out the program, and at no
time would the amount required OF
each taxpayer exceed 81 per $1,000.
Judge Brent has approved the pro-
posed school for incorrigibie children
and has referred the resolution OF the
December grand jury, asking for the
school. to the school board for con-
sideration. Prof. Kemp has declared
himself in favor Of the school and
expresses the belief that it is the
only solution of the problem OF the
education of such children. He added
mat If the children knew there was
such a school they would be better
behaved. as some of them deliberately
cause themselves TO be suspended or
expelled. =,
