Prof. OIovelfltiiT Abbe, tlie ucleiillst at

from (lliTorent quartern, said te n roptefcon

tlie shock. Klthtr sudden, evolution et
gax or a midden dislocation of strata takes
plnce within this cavity a few m Ien below

partly llllcd with water the result must be
a stidden evolution of vapor at.d gag.
This is probably the class of earthquake
that r-ttenda voleanlo eruptions On the
ether hand we have throughout the world,
and uowhere better than in our Mlddle At
lantic states, illustrations of geological
strata I displaced, dislocated, het up edge
wise nnd broken by seams and faults,
showing that the solid earth in the pro
cess of cooling during past nes has
shrunk te slightly smaller dimensions,
crumbling the strata into ridges such as
theso out el which the Appalachian
chain has been formed. The operation
has been a vciy slew one. hittle by little
a great extent of rock would cjtne uuder
a sovero strain. Finally parts of it gave
way. A dislocation of it few inchest re
lieved the strain temporarily. Hut thH
sudden dislocation would be felt ovirthe
neiirbbiitlieiiil very much like thn jieldlng
and snapping of the lloer el an ill-con
strtictcd and overciewded ball room or nn
overloaded warehouse.
Iho Ue el r.HrluqUHldH,
"This, which Professer Mallet recog
nizes as a trim physical cause for the
earthquake, shows us that this dreaded
shock is really the instrument by means of
which the solid crust of the glube is pre
tceted from morn tenible catastrophes.
The longer such shocks nre delayed the
mere liaciiM) becomes the accumulated
strain in the interior and the mere torrlble
must be the shook and icactien when it
comes. Tills, I take it, is the true nature
of all the numerous earthquakes en the

Professer Willi im 'llatkiies, of the
United States naval obfeivatoi), in answer !
te questions icspeetiug his views u e.utli
quakes and their relations te tin physics
of thn glebe, said : "In n'tetnpiing te
account for earthquakes it i- Urst et all
necessary te have kuowleJge, or at kast a
well defined theory of the internal utriic utriic
ture of the earth. And here at UiettUhtt
astronemors atid physicists en the m.e
baud and geologists ou the ether differ
widely. The gcolegihto assume that the
earth was originally in ineltin condition,
apd that in the ceurse of ages a solid ciust
has formed ou the outside, leaving a met
ten iutetier. And Initie r, liem tlie
numereus fetsll remains found imbedded
in the rocks, it is inferred that unceunte.I
millions of cars have bisun oetihiitned in
the process. The astronomer nod phy
sicists RtnitH from ontiiely dilleient pro pre
mises. He weighs the entire atuuui.t of
matter in the bun and planets
,
onuipesim,
the whole solar system, then inia.'iuet, it
nil couverted into gas ami ciK0iiditcil into
n r.obuleus cloud, filling nlispace. Then
by mathematical . processes he 1 able te
compute the total amount el heat which
would be generated by the condensation
of this uobuleus mass into a body the si.e
of the suu, and dividing this quantity by
the total amount of beat emitted by the
sun In twenty-four hours an npprexima
tien te the ontire possible duration of tlie
solar system is ebtalued. The conclusion
arrived at is that it is unlikely that the
solar system lias uxisted iu lis pres utceu
ditieu for mero than twenty llve million
years, nud It soems impossible that it can
lmvoexisted se long as tlfty millions of
yeais, whleh, ns the goelogUta reckon
time, is but an Instant.
"Until rcceutly it was unlversally sup
posed by all tclontlfle men that the interior
of the earth 1b iu a molten condition Hut
tue application of mero rellncd analysis te
the mathematical illteutslen el tlie tnles
has shown that this vlew is uutenabln. If
we suppose the hemtsphcte of theiarth
whleh nt any moment is turned tew.ud tlie
stiti te be covered with grass, ami each
bla.le of the grass te be trans-feruml in e
au iron telegraph who attached te thu tun
the entire teusien wllleh all theso wires
wneit
could support would be about equal te the
attractive lorce ei tlie sun upon tue eartu.
When exposed te Euih an overwhelmiug
ferce as this any body net extremely rigid
would be pulled out of shape, and instead
of reinaining a sphore would hi oenverted
I Inte a sphorieJ,wlth Its longer asm pein'cd
te thu tun, It this were te happeu lu the
otse of the earth, it would obllterato the
lido, nnd the fact that the tides are net
oblilerated, but have nearly their exact
theoretical height proves beyend question
that the earth in net senslbly defermed by
the sun's attraction, nud shows that the
average rigidity of the earth Ib net very
different from what it would be if the earth
wero a glebo of solid steel. Under r.ueh
clrciinistanccs It is difficult te beliove that
the interier Is plastic or that volcanoes nte
rnore than local phenomena.
Unure el rnrtmitmkes
" We knew llttleas te the real oaure of
earthquakes, but tliey nre doubtless due
te concussions of sotne kind or ether
taking place in n very great deptb belew
the surface of the ground. It has been
suggested that they may nometitues be due
te tlie fulling in of nuhterraueati caverns
produced by the notion of water dissolving
oztensivo deposits of reek salt, limestone,
gypsum or ether similar materials. It has
also been supposed that they may some
times be due te the ruptute of reek masses
in the iutorier of the earth, perhaps aided
by the Injection of voleanlo materials
thrown into the crovlecs thus produced.
"Anether theery that has had great vegue
is that they ure due te t e crushing of rock
musses by the contraction of the earth as
it continues te cool. Hut this assumes
that the whole interior of the earth is
heated, which viu have nlready seen te be
a questionable hypothesis. Although it
scorns lash te say that earthquakes are
dependent upon volcauie action, it is
uovettholesn elear that both carthquaki u
and volcanoes nre due te some common
cause, nud ns the great oarthquake regions
nnd the great volcauie regions are nearly
coincident witli each ether, ami almebt
without nzcoptlen in the neighborhood of
the sea, thcre seems seme reason te fup fup fup
po.e that steam goncrated at a oousldora eousldora oeusldora
ablo depth by the internal heat of the
earth may play a prominent part in tlie
phenomeua."
Met Alone Due te Contraction,
Majer Jehn "W. Pewell, diteoter of the
geological survey, said : "Fer many yeais
geologists have attributed earthquakes
chiefly te n contraction of the interior ns
in a tluld condition, nud that this ntate is
due mainly te gieat heat. Uut it is
net bellevcd that this contraction is
sufllaieut iu quantity and rate te account
by itself for earthquakes and nil of the
facts oetinoottd therewith. All the land
pottietis of the earth nre rapidlywashcd
down by rains nud rivers, nnd the material
of the land thus carried te the sea. By
this method all the land portions of the
earth nte steadily unleaded at a rate
surprising te thope who have net carefully
studied the subject. At the batue time
the material thus carried away is leaded
upon the berders of the seiu, n very small
amount being carried te the deep sea.
This unloading nud leading gcneiatcs
stresses in the ciust of eelid lock. Aa the
precets of leading nud unloading continues
the btrestcs cumulate, until at latt tue
solid crust suddenly yields along seme
weak point. In arras of unloading the
yioldieg is urually by fracture of the crust
nnd upheaval This euddeu fracture and
upheaval is the cause of many oatth eatth
quakes, and such earthquakes are usu
ally remete from districts of astive
velcanniB. In theso regions of country
where volcanoes nre iu operation tlie lUeus
of molten matter flowing from the interior
ou te the surface of the earth would leave
hollow spaces beneath the crust, vtcie the
