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-
