The Government is setting out
70 make an exhaustive scientific
study of earthquakes, with a view
to ultimately predicting these
vast upheavals of Nature in adj
vance-iust as thundershowers,
storms, and high winds are now
predicted with remarkable ac-
curacy.
Announcement was made today
that the survey will be under
taken by the United States Coast
and Geodetic Survey. It will take
months, but the scientists who
have it in charge are confident
that ultimately they will be able
to give advance notice of the
probable time and place of future
tremors, and the results will more
than justify the time and ex-
pense involved.
No Section Immune.
No section of the United States
ia immune from destructive up
heavals. although there are we'll
recognized earthquake zones" Will
Ham Bowie. a scientist Of the sur
vey said today.
Earth tremors of varying inten-
sity are recorded almost daily on
seismograpl1s along the Pacific
coast, the Atlantic seaboard and
the States bordering on the Mis-
sissippi river. More than 800 earth
quakes occur every day in some
part of the world.
Earthquakes can be predicted
az to time and place, but the
strength OF the tremor Is uncer-
tain, the element of time is un-
certain and the area large" Bowie
told the international News Ser
East Is Not Safe.
I'VE MAY say with certainty, for
instance. that there viii be an earth
Quake on the Pacific coast within
the next week.
but with our present limited
knowledge of the changes in the
earth's crust and underlying dis
turbances we cannot predict its In
tensity.
within the next century a heavy
destructive earthquake is likely to
occur along the Atlantic coast.
The east cannot sit back and con-
slider itself more secure from quakes
than the far west.
TT is reasonably certain that we
shall have a heavy earthquake
during the coming century in the
Mississippi Valley.
In 1911 a destructive tremor &C.

Some Blame On Rain.
Rain fundamentally is responsible
for the earthquake, the scientist
explained. The horsepower gener-
ated by the million miles Of rain,
that have fallen since the earth
was new, has made and remade
mountains, formed continents,
transformed the seas to plateaux
and wrought other geological
changes beyond mans comprehen.
sion.
KAN wearing away the SOIL,
Bowie said. land moving great
masses of sediment to the margins
of oceans is the cause of great
changes in the elevation of the
earth's surface
Earthquakes and volcanoes are
merely incidents in the general
process of geological evolution. We
have earthquakes as the sediment
depresses the crust, as the crust
below swells up to form noun
tains"
