30,000 Quatyes Every
Year, Scientist Says
One Every 17 Minutes Somewhere
in World. Most Are
Slight
Cleveland, O.—Once every 17 min
utes—which means 30,000 times In
the course of a year—old Mother
Earth shakes or shudders and there
is an earthquake somewhere in the
world.
Most of these seismic disturb
ances, of course, are slight; many
of them are never noted except on
the delicate recording instruments
of scientists; some deal widespread
death and destruction, and others
may occur harmlessly far under the
surface of the sea.
For no man really stands on
"solid ground"; far below the sur
face the restless forces of nature
that brought the planet into being
aeons ago are still at work. Oc

been the case in Italy, and then
we have a major disaster with
widespread death and destruction.
Two Kinds of Quakes
'•There are two kinds of earth
quakes, according to Father F. L.
Odenbaeh of John Carroll univers
ity here, one of the world's most
noted sesismologists.
“These two types are volcanic
and tectonic," explains Father
Odenbaeh. “Those of volcanic
origin are limited in extent. Ted
tonic earthquakos are caused by
shrinkage of the earth with accom
panying displacements of huge
masses."
Geologists, he says, once thought
the center of the earth was a fluid
mass. Now they believe that it is
solid, though they admit that this
solid interior may, under terrific I
heat and pressure, become suffi- j
ciently plastic to flow like wax.
“Italy’s volcanos are responsible
for her many earthquakes.” says
Father Odenbaeh. “Many theories
have been advanced for the cause
of a volcanic eruption and accom
panying tremors of the earth. It
was believed at one time that seep
age of water Into the molten inter
ior created steam that caused the
periodic upheavals. Explosion of
gases also is blamed for eruptions.
“But many now think the most
probable cause Is that the earth
shrinks, causing the crust to col
lapse, and pressure of the crust
on the molten interior forces it up
ward through the volcano’s crater.
This terrific churning beneath the
surface causes the tremors and de
struction.
or course, Italy could be rocked
by a tectonic quake, but most of Its
disturbances are of volcanic origin.
After a volcano starts erupting, its
action causes further disturbance
below the surface.”
History of volcanic eruption In
Italy begins with a vague record of
one supposed to have occurred some
1800 years before the Christian era.
Vesuvius, most celebrated of Italian
volcanos, was built up from the
floor of the Mediterranean by pre
historic eruptions as was the sur
roundlhg land. Its first outburst
recorded In history was in 79 A. D.
when the cities of Pompeii and Her

Whole Island Exploded
"One of the greatest volcanic out
bursts In many years was the ex
plosion of the volcanic Island of
Krakato in the East Indies In 1883,”
Father Odenbach said. “So com
pletely did this eruption blow up
the Island that It was completely
submerged Into the sea. The Island
is now reported to be re-appearlng.”
This outburst Is said to have
lashed the ocean into waves 100
feot high. Inundating neighboring
coasts and drowning thousands of
persons. And yet, as an earthquake,
the disturbance was mild, a more or
less local affair caused by pressure
of gasses within the volcano and
was recorded only by nearby instru
ments. This is true of practically
all volcanic earthquakes.
“The other kind of earthquake,
more powerful and far-reaching in
its vibrations, is called the tectonic
quake,” the scientist said. "These
are caused by slipping masses along
regions of weakness sometimes call
ed fractures in the crustal rocks,
and the break may be far below the
surface. The most destructive
quakes arp tectonic.
North America Shaken
"Such an earthquake was that of
1661. which violently shook much of
North America. Old records tell us
liew forest trailR were shifted so far
that Indians lost their way. Mud
flowed in the St. Lawrence river
and nauseating gases, evidently
from far underground, caused fish
to leap from the murky river.”
Some quakes move up and down.
Others have a rolling motion, while
still others give a tremendous Jerk.
The horizontal movement along
the surface may be considerable. A
court suit once resulted froip an
earthquake which shifted a fence
between two properties,
The Charleston, S. C„ disaster In
1886 was of the rolling kind, billow
ing along like an ocean of earth
with the waves two feet high from
trough to crest.

earthquakes are most likely to oc
cur. These include Japan, Mexico,
Asia Minor. Sicily, the Aelutian Is
lands and the Pacific ocean. In

SUCH IS LIFE. A boy yyho will
climb into a tree just to sit and sit
is called foolish. And it’s generally
the men who find a shady spot un
der a tree on the court square Just
to sit and sit who do the criticising.
Now, let’s see—what’s the difference
between sitting under a tree and in
a tree, except that none of the up
the-tree-sitters will ever equal the
time record of some of the under
a-tree sitters.
A SHELBY LADY gave a party
recently. It was one of those siz
zling days and somewhere fdr her
favors she picked up a collection of
those old-time folding fans. What
memories! Remember the child
hood days when nothing would keep
one awake better at church in the
summer time than a play with one
of the gaily colored paper fans
which folded and unfolded in such
an intriguing manner? Those were
the days when the woman with the
biggest and gaudiest fan-was con
sidered the bel-ries. . . ... Days
when ‘‘Casey Jones" was the fav
orite song-hit.
NORTH CAROLINA CHICKEN
dinners may be one of the explana
tions behind the State's growth
since 1920 to a point where it now
leads all other Southern States in
population: Recently a native of
blue' grass Kentucky came to Ruth
erfordton to edit The Sun, and this
is one of his first impressions of
North Carolina:
“One thing we like about North
Carolina, and one thing among
many bthers is because there seems
to be plenty of chickens down here.
This old scribe is a Baptist in re
spect to the water question, but
when it comes to chicken, he is
strongly Methodist. Everywhere we
go around here we see a lot of
chickens, and, better still, almosi
every day down at Lady Waters’
good dining table we get a good
slant at a dish piled high and of a
beautiful brown turn that makes
the mouth water, at the merest
glance.”
“This is getting to be a great in
dustry. Chickens are easy to raise
and they don't take much room.
Therefore if people go hungry for
chicken it surely will be their own
fault.”
JUDGE TOM SHAW, of Greens
boro, who is holding court here
this week, may be a Dutchman, or
even a Scotchman, for all this de
partment knows, but our bet would
be that he has English blood in his
veins. He appears to be one of the
most unemontional men we’ve ever
seen. Lawyers may get excited in
their wrangling and the entire court
room may slip up to the edge of the
scats in expectancy, but Judge Shaw
moves cooly along as if he were in
a hotel lobby watching the ped
estrian traffic. He takes every
thing so calmly and so philosophi
cally that one is inclined to wonder
if he didn't get a wee bit excited as
a boy when the horse-drawn fire
wagons dashed madly down the
street.
A WEEK OR TWO AGO a num
ber of North Carolina sections were
moved to question the story of Old
Sol hatching chickens in Shelby.
Now there comes a story from
Washington about the heat killing
