SCIENTISTS FAIL TO FIX CEN-
TER OF EARTHQUAKE.
One Observation Indicates it in South-
ern Pennsylvania; Another in
Michigan.
Scientists have been laboring to de-
termine the cause and the center of
the internal disturbance which caused
the earth to roll and toss in its bed
Saturday night.
Although and because seismographs
at Fordham and Harvard Universities
were literally “on top” of the wave, it
was impossible to determine the cen-
ter by New York instruments, and an
appeal was made to Oxford Observa-
tory, in Oxford, England. Scientists
there announced that the earthquake
had been registered so imperfectly
that sufficient evidence for a state-
ment did not exist. A Canadian ob-
servatory placed the center at the
mouth of the Saginaw River, in Mich-
igan. Another placed it in Southern
Pennsylvania.
The cause has been variously esti-
mated ‘by the specialists. R. B. Hill,
in charge of the seismographs at the
Museium of Natural History, said the
tremors were caused by the slipping
of a rock mass along the line known
as Logan’s Fault, to which the last
earthquake experienced in this section
‘of the country in 1914, was attributed.
TODD'S PREDICTION RECALLED.
A recent published opinion of Dr.
David Todd that an earthquake was
inevitable in New York because in-
creased weight was constantly being
placed upon a “fault” which lies in the
bedrock directly beneath the city was
recalled.
The fact that the tide Saturday
reached its lowest point was consider-
ed as having a possible connection
with the tremor. Efforts to connect
the earthquake with the recent total
eclipse were scoffed at by scientists,
who said danger of an earthquake was
least during a total eclipse.
The debated question as to whether
the skyscrapers of New York will ever
be tumbled down upon the heads of
its millions of inhabitants was reviv-
ed by the tremors. Opponents of the
idea contend the solid bed rock upon
which the city is built constitutes an
effective safety device.
Others hold to Dr. Todd’s fear of
the final cavein of the fault within the
rocks. They point out that the shud-
ders Saturday night fulfilled Dr.
Todd’s prediction that a major disas-
ter in New York would be preceded by
“a gentle quivering coming from no-
where.”
Tunes were played on crystal chan-
deliers, gold fish were washed from
their bowls, chairs were rocked by an
unseen hand, telephones tinkled, but
no voice answered, church bells rang
without being pulled and houses “roll-
ed like ships in the ocean.”
People poured from their homes in-
to the streets in many communities.
Police and firemen, themselves none
too sure of the fitness.of things, re-
assured frightened inhabitants of the
congested quarters where skimpy ten-
ement houses were most responsive
to the restless earth.
Women prayed and children cried
while the movement, the éxact nature
of which was not known until later by
most who experienced it, was on, then
they laughed in relief. Residents of
the Italian district, many with tragic
memories of other earthquakes, were
panic-stricken.
The sky-scrapers of New York gen~
erally withstood what was undoubted-
ly their greatest test. Neither the
1914 earthquake nor the two which
preceded it within the last forty years,
approached Saturday night’s diversion
in severity.
