Prof. Simon Newcomb, of the
Naval observatory at Washington,
characterizes the theory that the
recent earthquake was' caused by
unusual changes on the sun’s sur
face as utter nonsense. “The only
common sense explanation to my
mind,” Bays lie, “Is that down iu
the bowels or the earth, say Irom
20 to 100 miles lioneath the surface,
there is a ttuid matter which, grad
ually becoming cooled, contracts,
leaving a space between it and the
solid parts, and heavy weights on
the earth’s surface above the space
arc apt to cause the surface to sink,
and there you have the euth.
quake.”
