Geologists are agreed that the California coast. geologically speak- ing. is a new country. The Hawaiian Islands ave, in the same sense, like- wise new. Whether there is a sub- | terranean and fiery connection under the sea between the coast and the islands is a question of grave impor- tance, but one that is to the lay mind, of course, unanswerable. | An- lay startled by an hquake shock that has no equal recorded in vears, and old | timers that tt do not remember a ar occurrence.

The gr Aamage so far reported was at the City Hall. The massive building shook, trembled and vibrated. The building is the home of the public library 1d all the city department The occupants of these various di sions were thrown into consternation and rushed to the corridors. The excitement was heightened when bricks, mortar and terra cotta were hurled from a height of 180 feet to the sidew The swaying of the build- ing had loosened the fancy work sur rounding a part of the southern dor- mer window, and it fell to the street. Judge J. Beardon, who had been stand- ing by the pillars of the entrance of the building, attempted to rush to a place of safety and stepped upon the falling debris hit the same moment which the came, and it knocked ge down. At the moment it s if Beardon had been crushed by the dismantled articles. Aside from being stunned, he was not injured. The hook and ladder apparatus was called into service to remove the r maining gerous bricks, and later ropes were stretched s the side- walks and around the entrances to pre- vent danger to pedestrians from any article that might be loosened and fall.

The atmosphere, which been very oppressive for several days, s more congenial to-night, and the nu- merous temblors, which at first fright- ened the more timid, are now looked upon as a matter of course, and a dis- | cussion of the sensations experienced is | the topic of the hour.

The water backed up in streams., flowing into the bay, flooding and destroying crops. The simuitaneous occurrence of the earthquake in Los Angeles and the tidal wave in Lake Superior are con- lered to bear an important relation to each other, as there have been known to be similar happenings in previous earthquakes. The city of Lisbon, Por. tugal, was visited by an earthquake on the morning of November 1, 1755, and it was felt at the same time in cities almost as far distant as is Lake Supe- | rior from Los Ange A rumbling | sound which precedes most earthquakes | v immedia followed by a g t shock, which threw down the principal portion of the city. The sea retired, | leaving the bar dry, and returned in a | minute as a great wave or breaker { fifty feet in height. S v thousand persons perished in six minutes.
