. By H. K. Sherwood. Principal Fulton
. Park School.
Earthquakes are not all produced by
one-cAiae. but are the result of various
natural conditions, taken either separ
ately or together. - Some of the -more
recent investigations hare led to the
' supposition that some are caused ,- by
hydraulic pressure, resulting from col
"t urans ,of water extending- into fissures
in the earth's crust to profound depths.
Physical tests tend to sire argument to
this supposition.. '
Another theory which appears to have
some foundation Is the upsetting of the
: eartn's equilibrium as the result of the
great tension upon the cruet caused by
the accumulation of millions of tons of
sediment deposited at the mouths of the
area rivers during a "period "of-ages.

A common cause of earthquakes is the
' cooling .and consequent contraction f
the earth's crust, producing thereby a
tremendous grinding . or . slipping of
, strata upon strata of the earth's struc
ture. Geological formation in certain
localities are full of faults and allcken
- sides Indicative of convulsion and dis
turbances In past ages. In places the
strata has failaa more than 1.000 feet,
and Is that much out of line, so , to
speak. ..
Only SUa-ht XMsplaoesasatv r
' Disturbances of so extensive a nature
took place before the advent of history,
but It takes but slight displacement of
the rocks, when multiplied by the great
mass of the earth's structure, to produce
the destructive results at Ban Francisco
and along the1 coast. We have evidence
, that a cooling and contraction of the
crust is still going en in the fact thai
the coast of Norway and Sweden Is
- gradually rising above the sea level, and
- the coasts of New Jersey and Greenland
are slowly sinking, almost impercepti
bly, but nevertheless sinking..
'' Earthquakes are also produced by the
- pressure and escape of highly heated
gases and vapors In subterranean eav
It lea and fissures, and for this reason
earthquakes frequently occur along the
ocean shores, which, like some of the
mountain- ranges, mark the trends of
greatest fracture and consequent weak
ness of the crust, and where the water
" ' from the ocean is- most liable to seep
through fissures to highly heated re
glons beneath. . ,

earth's crust. . both keeking, points of
weakness where the great upheavals and
consequent1 rracture of trie crust nave
occurred. But earthquakes may occur
anywhere and at any timer though- cer
tain regions would appear to be more
favorable. There are several great lines
or trends of fracture in the earth'
crust, and the Paclno coast line marks
one of these. whlchextends all the way
from Alaska to Mexico - and on south
ward along the coast of South America.
the volcanoes of South . America
lying along this same trend of structural
weakness. The Rocky mountains and
Coast ranges are ranges of fracture,
thrown up during a short period of time,
geologically speaking, so that the strata
of the rock are broken and bent and
contorted,- and consequently weakened.
Appalachian System Different.
This is in contrast to the Appalachian
system, which la a system of flexure
that has been elevated more slowly.-and,
with the exception of certain regions.
the strata has been bent, but not -badly
broken. The . Appalachian system la
ages older than the Rockies, having be
come old before the Rockies were born.
The Appalachian . system having been
formed -by flexure, or bending, has not
weakened the crust to the same extent,
and we have no evidence of volcanic ao
tlvlty. But even the Appalachian region
is not exempt from selsmlo disturbance.
and no part of the earth can be said to
be. The Paclno trend is one of volcanic
activity from the Aleutian islands to
Potagonla. Mounts Hood, St Helens,
Adams, Rainier,- Washington, Whitney,
Bhasta-and -others are-all extinct vol
canic cones and monuments of former
volcanic activity.
Parts of Idaho and eastern Oregon are
covered by one of the greatest lava beds
in the world, and in the Aleutian islands
and Mexico are still -numerous actlvs
volcanoes, -while at Ban Francisco there
are eruptions of basaltic reck, which
have probably had something to do with
the formation of the bay at that point
mocks Stave Beea Disturbed.
These conditions . existing. It might
appear a little remarkable that greater
convulsions have not taken place in
modern times; for the conditions would
seem to be somewhat favorable. It Is
probably true- that the series of shocks
at Ban Francisco and adjacent points
were caused by convulsions Of the rocks
passing through that region 'and were
produced by one or more of the above
outlined causes. Surface Indications,
such as fissures or a rising or a sub
sidence, or the crust, may or may not
appear, owing-to the extent and the
character of the disturbance, but It re
mains a tact that the rocks in that
region have been disturbed, possibly to
great oeptha. As to the extent of the
convulsions, no one can sayr but they
appear to have extended along the coast
ror some distance, and may even have
extended far. out into the bed of the
Pacific ocean. Tidal waves t, may be
caused by earthquakes In regions near
the shore or in the floor of the ocean.
Connected With Yesuvlns, "Perhaps.
Was there any connection between the
recent eruptions of Vesuvius and the
California earthquakes This is a mat
ter of speculation. It ; is,- however,
doubtless true that disturbances in one
part "of the earth's crust may produce
disturbances at far distant points. And
it is more than possible that the erup
tions of Vesuvius,- combined with the
fractured and weakened condition of the
crust, were the immediate causes of the
earthquake at San Francisco. Earth
quakes being nature's effort to readjust
herself to changed or altered conditions
snd to regain ber equilibrium, it is prob-
aoie mat tney are frequently associated
with volcanic activity. -
Nature preeerves a perfect poise, and
It is natural that we should look for
disturbances to follow .such eruptions ss
those of Vesuvius, either now or at some
future time, and at a. nearby or remote
point. ;- Because one earthquake - has
shaken up Ban Francisco it does not
necessarily rouow that tnere wui be a

Los Angeles. April 21.- One of the
most accurate and complete accounts of
the earthquake given by an eye-witness
Is that of- Dr. George H. Kress, one of
tha editors of the Southern California
Practitioner, who went to San Francisco
to officially report the proceedings of
the State Medical society Tuesday morn
ing, the day before the earthquake oc
curred. Dr. Kress returned home to
day and gave the following account of
what he saw and heard: . X
, Story of Disaster.
Together with Dr. Frank Bullard and
wife of Los Angeles and Or. J. C. King
and wife of Banning, I atopped at the
Hotel Walton, on Ellis street. I was
awakened at. damn Wednesday-by the
shock and the swaying of the building.
My first feeling was not one of fear.
I realised that it was an earthquake
shock,' but as no plaster fell In my room
I felt no special alarm. "I arose, how.
ever, ' dressed . and went . down Ellis
"I passed the T. M. C. A. building,
where our society had held its meeting
snd noticed that a large mass of debris
filled the street. I went on to Market
street, down on Third street. A few
blocks below Market two buildings were
burning - and -south of -Market f iree
showed on Fifth,' Sixth and . Seventh
streets.
' "These firta quickly grew in propor
tion and spread rnpldly With no water
to quench them. They steadily ate their
way toward Market and Third streets
And by noon the Call building was ar

"Individual experiences railed. Those
who were thrown out of bed and had
plaster and furniture topple over them
were scared -Into a realisation .of the
danger, while those of us who felt only
the shock regarded it at first merely as
a quake of unusual severity. '
"Only here and there oould one see the
dead and Injured. The visiting physic
ians from the aouth offered their ser
vices wherever possible, but it early
became evident that their brother prac
titioners of Ban Francisco were fully
able to handle the situation. We early

his head. 'Chinamen flew wildly Bast
and two hysterical negroes with' fear In
tneir races passed through tha park and
shouted V 'Prepare to meet your God;
