Science

The earthquake-one Of the great
mysteries Of nature-is giving up its
secret
Prof R D. Oldham, r. r. s., of
England, is one of the worlds ex-
perts on earthquakes. He announces
that many of them are caused by
rocks "faulting" or slipping. These
are practically surface phenomena
More serious earthquakes are due to
chemical activity much deeper This,
he says, was the cause Of the
California earthquake Of April 1905.
In this case he estimates that the
original point Of disturbance was 800
miles deep.
At great depths, says Professor
Oldham, rocks are in a semi-fiuid con-
dition- In cooling they reach a
certain temperature and crystalliza-
ton sets in This means contraction
or expansion and the effect on the
effect on the earth's crust, as a result.
is similar to that produced upon
pipes when plumbing freezes. This
kind Of quake is called a bathyseism
and is more uncommon than the sur
face kind.

TUNNEL TO
CUT HEART
OF ROCKIES
Tube ShortenS Distance
Across Nation by 178
Miles.

BIZ NEA Serrtce
~ ENVER, Colo, July 1S.-The
United States Supreme Court
has reduced the distance from
New York to San Francisco by 17S
miles.
In a. decision upholding the legal
fly of an act creating the Moffat
Tunnel Commission of Colorado the
Supreme Court also removed the
last legal abstacle to the accomplish
ment of one Of the worlds greatest
engineering feats.
AS a result, work will begin with
in sixty days on the Moffat Tunnel,
a tube little over six miles long,
through the heart Of the Rockies.
One of Longest
1t will bore directly through the
Continental Divide from Mccoy to
Dotsero. Thus it will cut across the
extreme northwestern part Of Eagle
County, nearly in the center of the
State.
The distance between these two
towns is less than ten miles-as the
crow flies. But as the railroad runs
1t is closer to- 1876 miles; 1876 miles
of tortuous track over and around
mountains. The tunnel will reduce
from hours to minutes the time re-
ouired between the two points.
When completed, the Moffet Tun-
mel will be the longest in the United
States.
In an engineering sense It is be
lieved the Moffat Tunnel win rank
even as of greater Importance than
other of the worlds famous tunnels.
Time Shortened
Geological formations which win be
penetrated, scientists believe. would
practically have been impossible to
pierce a few years ago.
However, late mechanical devices
have been invented which are ex-
pected to make possible the construc-
ton of the tube In less time than was
required for the building OF the other
and longer tunnels.
Transcontinental trains, engineers
predict, will be running through the
Moffat Tunnel within three years.
Ten years were required for the
building of the Mt. Gents Tunnel
The new tunnel will bear the name
Of the late David II. Moffat, who built
the railroad west from Denver to
Steamboat Springs, which also bears
his name.
