PASADENA, Calf.--Half an
hour after the earthquake in
Tibet. Aug. Is, 1850, one of the
greatest ever recorded, the earth's
surface in California moved slow
" north-eastward about a foot,
then back again.
A few minutes later, parts of
New York City moved similarly.
about 10 inches each way.
At intervals between these two
occurances the intervening terri
tory moved also.
There were several of these
movements about five minutes
apart, lasting about half an hour.
Each succeeding swing was small
er than its predecessor.
The same thing happened III
other great earthquakes and will
continue to happen whenever a
major movement occurs in the
earth's crust. A long, slow ter
restrial shudder follows the
earth's surface much like wave
on the ocean, but different from
the shock waves felt by humans.
1t is mostly a sliding, horizontal
movement.
Earth's Skin Stretches
The push-pull force of these
quakes produces strains in con-
siderable area of the earth's skin,
which is somewhat flexible You
can illustrate it by putting a fin
ger on your bare arm and push
ing or pulling the skin. The
greatest skin movement is near
the finger but there is movement
also a considerable distance away,
gradually decreasing.
This tremendous m Owe ment
goes on all the time to some ex-
tent but does no harm because il
is so big and so slow. Whole
buildings, whole cities, whole
mountains, even whole states
move more or less at the same
time. A person cannot detect il
because everything around hin
is moving in the same direction
with imperceptible slowness.
But there are two instruments
now in operation here and twC
more on Palomar mountain, home
of the big Eye" which can de
tect, measure and record this vas
. slew motion.
How Gadgets Work

graphs Conceived and designed

: ifornia Institute of Technology

S small to be detected by any ordl

actor. uses its heat TO make
steam, which in turn drives a
dynamo.
The tremendous radioactivity
which the reactor produces along
with the heat is not used. 1t was
wasted because there is no way to
change it into electricity. But if
this radioactivity is changed into
electricity, that will not interfere

barreled electric power plant.
The atomic battery announced
today is apparently too inef-
ficient. but it is such a good first
step toward this goal that ii is
in industrial and scientific use.
The battery is a cell contain
ing a rod of gold, another con-
tanning a rod of lead and a little
radium. Electric current flows
from the gold to the lead, and
the amount of electricity is pro-
portional TO the strength of the
gamma radioactivity.
One-tenth of one per cent of
the gamma ray energy is con-
verted into electricity. The little
atomic battery is used to make
radiation counters, analyze alloys
measure growth of surface films
and oxides. measure humidity and
analyze gases.
Ohmart said radioactive cobalt
and radioactive iodine also car
be used TO make atomic batteries
He said a cobalt atomic batter,
could be made to run 100-wati
electric light for 80 years non
stop, but that such a battery TO
day would cost about one million
dollars.

causes enough strain on the rock
TO throw the light beam far off
the drum.
Palomar Is More Tcuehy
The Palomar instruments are
even more sensitive. Here Is the
way DR.. Benioff illustrates their
abilities:
If a giant 3,0O0 miles tall
grasped the Atlantic coast in one
hand and the Pacific coast in the
other and squeezed them togeth-
er until he reduced the width of
the continent by one inch, the
tube of a strain seismograph set
somewhere near Omaha would
move about five millionths of an
inch and would swing its light
beam nearly half an inch.
These great slow motions have
wave lengths far too long for
ordinary earth movement detec-
tors. They are about $50 miles
from peak to peak in cycles of
about five minutes each, which
means speed upwards of 100
miles a minute.
Earthquake waves which travel
more or less directly Though the
earth instead of along its surface
are the principal ones recorded on
ordinary seisrnographs. They are
much shorter than the strain
waves. These direct waves have
frequencies ranging from a few
seconds up to so seconds. Thus
an ordinary seismograph is as
useless on these long, slow strain
movements as short wave radio
receiver trying to pick up a long
wave broadcast.
Big Giant Called For
Any living thing big enough tt
feel the long waves would neec
reach of at least 800 miles
Benioff's giant, standing with one
foot in Kansas City and the 9th
er in Cincinnati, might feel then
slightly.
There may be other waves ever
longer than the five-minute ones
possibly with frequencies of hour
or days. They may be writing thu
pattern Of growth of mountain
or even changes in whole cont
nents.
So important are these grea
waves that the government

pick up waves longer than thos

ments here, but just how mucl

yet.

one end of the tunnel. The two
halves of the gadget are only
so thousands of an inch apart.
When any earth force squeezes
or stretches the rock it does not
change the length of the tube be-
cause the gadget end of it is free.
It does, however, move one half
of the gadget in relation to the
other half, and this motion sets
UP the electric current.
Movement Is Maanified
The current is sufficient to
move a pinpoint searchlight beam.
This beam is aimed at a revolving
recording drum a couple of feet
from the light source. A tiny
movement of the light source
makes much larger movement
where the pinpoint of light hits
the drum. The light thus traces
an enormously rnagnified graph
of the rock squeezing or stretch
ing movement. This graph is q
series of sharp, wavy lines, 3
representation of the great slow
motion that produced the minute
squeezing and stretching.
The instrument is SO sensitive
that it performs wildly from the
amount of strain put or thu

walking in the building above. Be
cause of this the graphs arr

built is shortened few mill

pressure. This congresses the
foundation of the building too,
but q few millionths of an inch
is not enough to cause damage
or even draw attention. Also it
stretches back into place when
the wave cycle is complete.
