TRoM its very earliest days
l. America has felt the sharp
shocks of earthquakes that the
4 Indians said were caused by
the Great Spirit stamping his
foot in anger. AS early as 1863 in the
history of the Nation forests van
ished mySteriously and lakes appeared
in their place along the st. Lawrence
Valley, while subsequent study records
only of the AZ States in the Union
listed on the seismic map as being
entirely free from the effects Of this
dread phenomenon of Nature.
Thus the discussion of this urgent
topic at the third pan-Pacific Science
Congress, commencing last Friday, Is
of paramount interest to the SO sci
entists representing the United States
at the conference, as we'll as to the
seismic experts from Washington.
TWenty-four nations Of the world
sent delegates to be the guests Of the
Imperial Japanese Government for
the two weeks Of their visit to the
Land Of the Cherry Blossoms, where
the congress combines science with
trips about the islands, as arranged
by the National Research Council Of
Japan at the last meeting in Australia
three years ago.
Walter G.. Mendenhall, chief geolo-
gist of the United States Geological
Survey, went by way of Seattle, as did
Lev! T. Noble. also Of the survey, who
reads paper on THE San Andreas
Rift" treating of the faults of the
rock on the California Goa st that are
said to have caused the many earth
quakes of that region.
DR.. Thomas Vayland Vaughn, an
other scientist from Washington, rep
resents the United States on the in
ternational organization committee.
Others associated with the work are
George w. Littlehals of the Hydro
graphic Office of the Navy; Comdr n.
Heck, seismic expert in charge of that
branch Of the work for the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey
which now handles earthquake inves
tigation for the Government; \. NJ.
Fenniman of the Geological Survey
Prof F. r. Littell. j. &. Hammond and
Paul Solenber, astronomers of the
United States Naval Observatory, and
Or. A. l.. Day, chairman Of the ad
visory committee on seismology for
the Carnegie Institution of Washing
ton.
Many important subjects are pre-
sented for DISCUSSION. including such
topics as The Antiquity of Man"
Citrus Culture and Meteorological
and Time Service by Radio Transmits
~ion," with plans for international CO.
operation on scientific problems. But
Of all these problems, none is so acute
as the problem Of earthquakes.
The question has been raised as TO
what practical use 1t is to investigate
earthquakes, when we are unable to
ontrol them, for in spite Of ANYTHING
We can do, man is helpless. But as the
.irector of the Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey. e. Lester Jones, phrases IL,
hough at first sight the apparent use
iessness of investigation appears to be
q sound reason for doing nothing, ap-
ply this reasoning to the hurricane
or typhoon, and no one will deny that
it is Of the greatest importance to
know the nature and direction of such
storms in advance.

Earthquakes. which includes the
latest information in this matter.
Hawaii, being IN line with a weak
crust of the earth that extends as far
North as Alaska. along the border of
what is known as the TuScarora
Deep. has q record on the Govern
ment seismograph of IL series of slight
shocks every day in the year. These
go on all day long. according to
Comdr. Heck, and show that the
islands are quivering slightly all the
time, though this is usually not felt
by the residents though recorded by
the delicate SeismoEraph. This is a
form Of minute earthquake known
as "micro-seismus' and is being
noted b. the scientists at the station
at Eva, Pearl Har1oor. Hawaii.
One OF the most terrific earthquakes
OF modern history took place at Iakn-
tat Bay. Alaska, in September 1899,
when there We're great changes in the
level of the land. due to faultinC, and
remarkable changes in the glaciers
nearby.
The changes Of level amounted TO
a maximum of A. feet in some places
while Muir Glacier made a rapid re-
treat Of 80 miles 10 the southeast,
and became for some Years inaccessi-
BILE to the hundreds of tourists that
had annually visited the region prior
to the earthquake. according to re-
port by Ralph Tarr of the Geological
Survey.
In some instances a region will
be affected by an earthquake or by
a series of them for very long periods
This was true near the site of the old
Spanish settlement at New Madrid In
the early part Of the nineteenth CEN
fury, when shocks We're felt for nearly
a year, and the Mississippi, ran up
hill for time. Tens of thousands of
acres were flooded and new lake

miles wide was formed in Tennessee

He had been a. young and fiery
warrior who fell in love with a
princess of a tribe into which he was
forbidden to marry. But Reelfoot de-
fled the ruling. and with the first
SHOWS of 1911 ran off with his bride,

thing he had. He spent himself freely
and fully in his anger st women. He
had always intended to give Linda
an allowance OF $3.50 a week to run
the house. She had insisted 500 was
enough. He compromised with him
self on S125. He made it a point Of
honor to turn over that 1925 every
week. With what remained of his
rapidly increasing income he paid his
most pressing debts. and then the
less pressing until the day came when
he didn't owe anybody anything. He
celebrated that day by showing 500
away in a savings account-the first
savings account he had ever had in
his life.
He came home all aglow one night
because that day he had sold two
Hurstwood Fights, making his record
for the week six cars. He had earned
81 800 in one week. He had $1,000
in cash in his pocket.

WHY Thunder Sours Milk.

TT IS universally known that milk
l. turns sour after a thunderstorm.
This has been attributed to the large
quantity Of ozone which is liberated
by the electricity in the air. The
experiments OF Prof. Trillat in
Paris do not confirm that theory. He
has established that atmospheric de-
pressions cause putrefying gases
normally quiescent--to rise to the sur
face of certain substances, and in
support of his theory points out that
odors Of all sorts are permeating to a
greater degree after storms. These
atmospheric depressions accelerate
the decomposition of gases and tend
to liberate them. Hence Tactic fer
mentatton Is produced. Prof. Trillat
has made many experiments with
diverse substances under varying con-
ditions and pressures and has OBJ.
served that when the barometer is
lowest during storms. etc., the de-
composition ot gases is most rapid.
