Wall of V-Idler Rolls Down Po Riverlalley

ROVIGO. Italy. Nov. 18 -(CP) -- A wall of flood water five miles wide rolled slowly down the Po River toward the Adriatic today. engulfing the city of Adria and driving the 36.000 people of Cavarzere and Loreo from their homes. ' .

The worst flood disaster in Italy's modern history is driving an army of nearly 200,000 rei- uizces before it, and already has taken a death toll ofyat least 100. Hundreds of thousands of 8Cl.'l'.'l lie under the brown devastation. Damage amounts to uncounted millions of dollars.

Together with storms which hit Southern Italy and Sicily last month and took 110 lives, the flood is the worst natural dis- aster for Italy since the Mcssina earthquake of l9m.

Every village between the Po and Adlge Rivers' was, ordered evacuated.

At Roviga. however. the sil- uallori eased somewhat with a lull in the heavy rainfall. and upstream at Mantova and Parma the river was falling. But the crack San Marco battalion of the Italian army still battled to plug a 32-foot break in the Adigetto River dike above the city.

The worst fears were felt for Adria.

Thousands of boats were nos- ing their way through the peril- ous, fog-bound flood vvaterg in it desperate effort to reach the city Where 20.000 D90Dle are marooned in rising water.

fn the city. cut off on all sides by water, the marooncd have clustered on high ground in and around the cathedral to pray and await rescue.

Scientists Torr Discuss What Shakes The World

A seismograph or any other instrument recording vibrations never comes to complete rest, even if put in the most isolated soot in the ocean. fhis proves that the earth's crust is always in motion.

These movements. following each other in tiny waves of one hun- dredth or one thousandth of a second may be cauecl by the ex-I

and rail traffic. and many kinds: of machines.

But mlcroseismologists are in- iulcrested in other movements which have waves of from one to 10 or 12 seconds each. These movements are closely linked with meteorology. but their Origin is disputed.

One school says the shocks are due to pulsations occurring at the centre of cyclones on the high seas. These travel through the water to the sea bed and magic, from there. Another school says sen waves striking against the wnrldls coasts are the mun nu” of microseisms.
