Whit man can never hope to harness tho forces of nuture to the extent of prc vntlnKt or oven fore-to'linK1, earth quakes, it In notWiupossihlc, says the t'arnctfe Institution of x Washington, Unit scientists may be able to devise mcUiods of fore-stalling their dlsas truiiH effects by the. detection of safer locations for cities and by appropriate methods of construction. Karthtiiukes Have occurred ever since the crust of the globe begun to i form. indeed, the condition of tin Htnhtlity is the earth's normal one und limn long has suffered in consequence. To Hay then that what mankind lias characterized us n phenomenon, which Ih as sure and ns Inevitable as all eclipse of the sun, might be eludeu finally, seems almost an Impossibility.

It has been developed through prolonged studies and demon strated by observation! of many min or quakes and of the lines along which they occur. i The earthquake plane is often spok en of. as n fracture but it is really not a break, a recent statement of tin in stitution declares.
