About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1902 Excerpt: ...Nat. Geog. Mag., Sept. 181)6, VII, 285-2Sy, 310. Lakes and pools formed. Slides dam streams; breaking of such dams is dangerous. Case in India in 1897. Drying up of springs. Water turned into other channels. Terrors of earthquakes due to the fact that there is no means of predicting the time or nature of the shock, and to the instability of the earth, which is the very type of stability. No courage or skill can prevent them. From the faulted and slicken-sided condition of the rocks it is inferred that California always has been and probably always will be a region of earthquakes. Precautionary Measures. Destruction of life mostly caused by the falling of walls of houses. Catania, Sicily, earthquake in 1603; 100,000 killed. Lisbon earthquake, 1755, killed 60,000, but largely by wave on wharves. Japan earthquake of 1896 killed 26,975, mostly by wave dashing upon the shores. Riobamba, Equador. (See Whymper.) The city of Mendoza, Argentine Republic, entirely destroyed in 1861.t Japanese houses built of wood. Earthquake houses placed on balls. Destruction in California really very small. Changes of Level. Is it possible that the sea-level itself may change? Changes of level, either elevation or depression, sometimes accompany earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Sometimes abrupt, as at St. Thomas, W. I. Sometimes quiet, slow, and uniform. In any case they are due in part, at least, to agencies connected with the interior condition of the earth. EVIDENCES OF ELEVATION. 1. Dead marine organisms, or their skeletons, on dry land. 2. Work of marine animals on land. 3. Work of waves (either constructive or destructive) on shore lines now out of the reach of waves. 4. Human records. 5. Eroded surface of marine sediments. Sir W. Hamilton's Observations. 59. London...
