OCEAN LEAKAGE CAUSES QuAKEs

San Francisco, Nov. 28.-(AP)-
Earthquakes depend primarily on the
leakage of the oceans, said Captain
T. j. See, professor of mathematics
at Mare Island, Calf, in an address
today before the Commonwealth Club
here.
As one notable result of such leak
age, in his opinion. "the molten rock
swells and thereby causes periodic
swells and thereby causes periodic
readiustments of the lava beneath the
crust, pushing up great mountain
chains and high plateaus about the
ocean border, as in the famous World
Ridge which surrounds the Pacific
and Indian oceans"
Professor See explained the pro-
cesses that led him to accept these
theories.
"After the great earthquake at San
Francisco Aprpil 1S, 1906" he stated,
81 had occasion to make a careful
study of the cause of earthquakes,
mountain formation and kindred phe-
nomena connected with the physics of
the earth l was led to the conclu-
sion that ranges of mountains are
formed by movements of lava beneath
the crust, depending on the secular
leakage of the oceans. This ocean
leakage yields an absorption ,of water
and steam in the layer of lava just
beneath the crust and leads to the
swelling of the molten rock, which
finds relief by explosion towards the
land and thus. builds up mighty
mountain wall along the sea shore, as
in the typical case of the Andes in
South America"
Asserting that earthquakes former
" had been improperly divided into
two classes, volcanic and tectonic,
without any recognized connection
between the two, the scientist con-
tended: "The only difference between
volcanic and tectonic earthquakes is
that in the one case vent exists for
the escape of vapor into the atmos-
phere, in the other case the forces
are relieved by adjustment Of the
blocks of the earth's crust without a

bottom will throw a stream of water
as high as the sea is deep; and thus
it is pressure which would project
stream higher than our cirrus
clouds, that causes the rapid ocean
leakage and terrible earthquakes in
Japan.
"The chief means for the safety of
individuals and cities along the sea
coasts is to build houses on firm
ground and when large, of concrete
reinforced with steel, which minim-
ICES the destruction and decreases the
danger from fires.
an Japan the great earthquakes
recur about every third Of a century.
On our coast and in South America
the period is about half a century,
because on this side of the Pacific the
sea is not so deep as near Japan"

POsTOFFICE INFORMATION

Last year. through the generous CO.
operation of the press, the movies
and other advertising mediums,
Christmas mailers were induced to
dispatch their Yuletide presents ear
lier in the, month than ever before in
the history Of the institution Of gift
exchanging in the holiday season.
As a result, the spectacle Of the
last minute rush Of former years,
with its attendant heartbreakfng la
bor on the part Of wearied and nerve
worn store clerks and postal employ
ees was avoided. '''N ~ sy@A
This year Postmaster General New
and First Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral John H. Bartlett have determined
to make an even better record and to
Danish for all time the suffering un-
dergone in past years by those en-
gagged in the sale or transportation of
gifts. They hope to make "Shop
EARLY" and "Mail Early habit with
the American people. f~
Mailing early does not mean De-
cember 1 or before, but if everyone
could get their holiday tokens in the
mail between December 10 and De-
cemger 20, the post office could not
ask more.
Particular attention this year will
be paid to greeting cards. Despite
the success last year it was noted
that the last-minute mail consisted
largely of cards. Possibly many of
them We're returned greetings to
friends, heard from on previous
mail, but overlooked on the original
Christmas list. Unlike parcels and
letters containing money orders,
cards, of course. can not we'll be
marked do Not Open Uutil Christ
mas" Therefore, it is possible that
the many mailers hold them until the
last to insure delivery on Christmas
Eve, This class of mailers this year,
however. may find their cards unde-
livered until after Christmas Day.
Believing that the energies of post
al employees should not be sapped to
the last degree for any avoidable rea-
son, and, intent upon securing for
them the same Christmas privileges
enjoyed by others, Postmaster Cen
eral New asks the hearty cooperation
of the public. The last-minute, or
zero hour has been moved up so that
all postal employees may eat their
Christmas dinners at home Rural
carriers will deliver no mail at all
on Christmas day and clerks and car
riers in the city offices will stop work
promptly at noon.

visible eruption. This makes indeed
a difference in the appearance of the
two classes of earthquakes, yet the
cause is everywhere the same-name-
ly, ocean leakage"
Of seismic waves he said: an the
expulsion of lava from under the sea
it pushes generally towards the con-
tinent, because, owing to leakage,
steam saturates the lava under the
sea, but not under the land; and in
tbs agitation for the readjus tment
of the underlying molten rock the
crust orens along cracks, and the
blocks of the earth's crust are so dis
placed that fault moves maybe sew
cral hundred feet vertically. Some
times the coast is uplifted visibly, as
in the great Chilean earthquake of
1922.
"Under the deep sea, however, the
movement Of the blocks of the crust
often is downward, for the support is
undermined when the lava surges
toward the land and thus a section
of the sea bottom as large as a coun-
ty or small state may sink several
hundred feet and therefore depress
the sea level over the sunken area.
This sinking of the sea bottom causes
the water to rush in on all sides to
fill up the surface depression. The
level at the neighboring seashore is
thus lowered, leaving ships stranded
and helpless. When the onrushing
water meets at the center of the de-
preston, the sea level is raised into
a mound several hundred feet high,
which slowly collapses and thus sends
mighty wave ashore to wash the
stranded ships inland.
THE theory thus outlined is veri-
fed by the very deep holes in the
sea bottom west of Africa and by the
deep trench in the sea bottom just
south Of the Aleutian Islands and just
east Of Japan-in all of which places
the earthquakes and sea waves are
very terrible"
Other evidence of the formation of
mountains by ocean leakage he out
lined as follows:
at is we'll known that marine
shells are found in the Andes at an

elevation of $1,000 feet. The rocks
in which they exist have therefore
been elevated since these strata were
in the sea bottom, and the only forces
to produce such uplifts are the earth
quake forces.
''The Dinosaurs and other reptiles
of similar type once existed in Colo
RADIO, Wyoming and Utah in great
numbers. 1t is recognized that they
lived in lagoons and swainps, in fresh
or brackish water. and thus along the
edge Of the sea not in plateaus where
their fossils are now found. The
bimorican Museum of Natural His
tory. under expeditions conducted by
DR. Roy Chapman Andrews, into the
plateau of Mongolia, in the desert of
Cobb. found about two dozen fossil
Doinosaur eggs. They were at dis
tance of 15OO or 1000 miles from the
sea, ana this shows that the sea has
receded since the age of the Din
osaurs.
Thus as North America has been
broadened westward. and uplifted into
mountains and plateaus by the Pacific
Ocean, so also the continent of Asia
has been broadened eastward and up
lifted into the mountains of the Him
alayas and plateaus of Thibit and
Mongolia by the Pacific and Indian
oceans The continent has been up
lifted and the oceans narrowed with
the lapse of millions of years."
Professor See also pointed out:
"All active volcanoes are within about
100 miles of the sea- and if located
further inland. the volcanoes grad
ually die out, evidently for lack of
sufficient water to keep the active
eruptions going. OF the vapor emit
ted by volcanoes 800 parts in 1000 is
steam"
He said that Aristotle had reached
tho conclusion that earthquakes are
especially prevalent along the sea
coasts" So nearly did the Greeks
hit on the sea as cause, they built
temples to Neptune the Earthmak-
err"
