The fact that more earthquakes have occurred during the colder months of the year has been noted, and attributed to the atmospheric disturbances which are then more

frequent and violent than at other seasons. Atmospheric pressure on the surface of the sea and laud varies greatly at different times. If we conceive of the earfn as a spherical shell of some ten milcs in thickness, formed of solid rock. and the shell filled with molten lava of much heavier material, the entire mass of contents and shell whirling at a surface speed 10f one thousand miles an hour at the equator. we get a partial glimpse of some of the forces in action be neath us.

What is the limit of tho varying strain up on the shell? What wonder that it cracks sometimes? Of course. nlucll of the ‘best scientific opinion on the subject ls mere guess-work, but we know that the earth's shell does crack and split, rise and fall and shake most wonderfully at certain times, and in certain places, to the great alarm of the people there and the swift destruction of untold thousands of their numbers.

That the strain of contending forces la greater In the equatorial regions, or on their borders, than In the higher ‘latitudes. northward or southward, may be set down as the general reason why earth- quakes are imore frequent there. Fortunately for the British Empire the greater portion of its widely scattered territories lies outside of the area within which earthquakes have proved to ‘be destructive. This also true of the Anglo-Saxon race. India and the West ‘India Islands furnish the principal geo- graphical exceptions, butthere the bulk of the population is not An- ‘glo Saxon.
