4 \ SCIENTISTS DELVE INTO SEISMOLOGY Foresee Day When Earth- quakes May Be Charted and Forecast. Foreseeing the day when earth- quakes may be charted and fore- ast with some degree of accuracy o time and place, just as weather T tional institutions in a study of the whole question of selsmology. The study has just been begun, initi- ated by the Carnegie Institute of Washington and aided by the Coast and Geodetic Survey and the Geolog- ical Survey. The Coast and Geodetic Survey has been authorized by Congress to under- take its own seismological investiga- tions, and is co-operating with the ther two organizations in a general nvestigation. Officlals of the survey hope to have an appropriation from ‘ongress in the near future which enable its scientific staff to fore- the time and place of earth- s from the accumulated knowl- »dge to be gathered by the committees which have just begun their work. Conclusions Alpeady Reached. Among the conclusions already reached, according to William Bowle, seimographer of the survey, is that there will be a big earthquake some- where along the Atlantic coast within the next 100 years. Just when it will come or where it will be localized * cannot yet be forecast. Such informa- tion is expected to be developed by the work of the three organizations, which will continue for many months. Mr. Bowie said about 9,000 earth- quakes occur on the earth every year. ne of them, he added, cannot be oIt by human beings, but are record- on the delicate needles of seismo- phs. They are all caused by some t in the rock in the crust of the earth, and most of them do not occur , more than 20 miles below the earth's surface, although they may go as deep as 60 miles down. Mr. Bowle declared that the exist- ence of a known fault in the struc- ture of the earth’s crust does not . Dredicate a possible earthquake, point- to the quakes at Charleston, S. , and New Madrid, Mo., of recent vears, in proof of his statement. In neither case, he said, was an earth fault apparent. Progress Made by Science. Science has progressed to the point where it can forecast within a century and within an area of several hundred miles just where the next big earth- quake will strike. Localization of the concentration of the quake area and closer forecasts as to time are ex- pected to result from the work of the committee. Earthquake maps will be drawn and from the observa- tions and concentration of quakes forecasts can be made of the loca- tion and extent of expected upheavals . which will give sclence a new aspect of the earthquake situation. ——— MILLION ORDER PLACED.
