EARTHQUAKES,

American Naval Officer

Special TO The Evening Journal.
WASHINGTON. D. C.-Dec. s.
A single graphic example OF what a
tidal wave in Chile can do is pro-
vided by the experience of an Ameri-
can naval officer during a similar up
heaval when his vessel was carried
three miles up the coast. two miles
inland, and dropped at the foot OF a
range OF the Andes Mountains.
Earthquakes and tidal waves are
discussed in a bulletin from the
National Geographic Society which
also quotes from a communication by
the late Rear Admiral L G. Billings.

the recently devastated towns.
There Is no natural phenomenon
more deeply interesting and yet so
little understood as the seismic dis
turbances which have from earliest
history devastated the earth and car

hearts OF all survivors," says the
bulletin.

eminent scientist, Compile de Ballore.
there had been 1879 recorded
earthquakes. OF later years. when
more accurate records have been
kept. they have averaged about 60
a year. There is comfort 10 the
jewellers in most OF the world to
know that "a per cent. OF recorded
shocks have occurred in two narrow
well-defned belts-one called the
Mediterranean. with SO per cent. TO
its credit. and. the other. the Circum-
Paclfic, with II per cent-while the
remainder OF the world has only
per cent. widely distributed.
THE United States has been sing
ularly free from recorded seismic
disturbance, perhaps the most dis
astrous being IN 1911. when a very
severe shock occurred in the Missls-
sippi Valley south OF the Ohio. which
was felt IN New York in one dlrec-
ton and in the West Indies in an
other. This earthquake changed
the face OF the earth. A vast eX-

The cause OF earthquakes and
volcanoes is an elusive problem. not
yet settled TO the satisfaction Of the
scientist. Tremors OF the earth may
be caused by many things. The
explosion of mines. falling in or
caves, slipping OF rock strata, and
many other movements OF the earth
may cause them; but for the great
shocks which have REQUIRED almost
since the history OF the world be-
gan we must look further.
Though many times there seems
TO be an intimate connection be-
tween earthquakes and volcanoes
the law regarding them has not been
established. Some remarkable CO
medicines have been observed 10
late years. The terrible cataclysm
OF Mount Pelee. which, on May g.
1902, almost instantly killed $4,000
inhabitants, was preceded by the
earthquake which in January ana
April OF the same year wrecked
number OF cities In Mexico ana
Guatemala. The distance between
these points Is at least 1000 miles
showing how deep-seated must have
been the disturbance. II. as has
been suggested. there was commun-
ication between them. The great
San Francisco earthquake was pre-
ceded only two days by one OF the
most violent eruptions Of Vesuvius
recorded in many years.
