GRAVITATION AND ITS EFFECTS (2)

I have already said that the

Italian astronomers have a theory that the moon affects the land in the same way as it does the sea.. that is it pulls the earth a little out of its spherical (or almost spherical) shape. To prove or dis- prove their theory they have placed delicate apparatus in a cave out- side Roi-ne, (where it will be free from certain interferences), and are about to commence experi- ments estimated to take five years. This should prove mechanically whether our satellite is concerned in the production of earthquakes and similar phenomena.

In a sort of emplrle fashion, aid-

ed by copious records made over a number of years, the writer. has tabulated a series of effects in this connection which appear to be fairly regular .It would seem that major earthquakes are more liable to occur at full moon (when the sun and the moon are "pulling" against each other) than at new moon. That the liability is greatly

increased if at this time the moonl is in conjunction with a planet in

pod; N. S. and U.S.A. coasts affect- ed. Feb. 27. Very low barometer snowstorm and thaw: about this
