The worst disaster for many years In the history of the busy cross-rhsnutraffic, between England and iha aoniluenr occurred England and the continent occurred during a violent gale, shortly before 1 o'clock this morning, when the Rotterdam null steamer Berlin, from Hsrwitch to Hook of Holland, having safely weathered the hurricane, was wrecked nn she waa entering port. Altogether 143 parsons are either now dead or clinging hopelessly to the London, wreck. The terrific seas broke up the steamawful suddenness that all efforts to save Ufa appeared have been utterly hopeleoe. tote tonight it was reported that few survivors were rllnglng to Jhe wreck, but as the heoric efforts all day of the Ufa boat crews bad failed to report to them, little hope that they will ha saved remain. Tha story of the disaster la told with Jramatle intensity by the following brief, hut. pregnant messages, reaching Harwlck from the agent of the Orest Eastern Railway company at Hnok of Holland. Tha first massage received at 6:30 this morning fol- er with such lows: "The Berlin la stranded st the north pier. Her position Is very dangerous. There Is a heavy gale blowing. Tugs and life boats are going out to her assistance." at. 7:30 Mid: . Tbe second message, "The position of the Berlin Is still very dangerous. Tbe heavy gale la still blowing. We have tried to take off the passengers with tug bouts and life boats, but without auccesa np to tbs present." The third message. timed 7:63 a. m.. Mid: "The Beilin hsa broken In two and very probably will prove n total has. Her crew are sllll on board. Life hosts and tugs are trying to save the passengers. The fourth message came through the London office of the railway company. It was tinted 9:10, and said: It In Impossible to save the passengers. . The poop of the ship Is under water." At 10:36 came the fifth and lost message: "Tbe Berlin is t total loss, with all her crew and passengers. Nobody has been saved." No cause as yet has been assigned for the disaster, and It probably never be known hnw the steamer came-t- o miss the channel. It ia conjectured that some derangement of the englnea or steering gear may have rendered the veMel uncontrollable. Captain Precious, of the Berlin, had a good record of fourteen years service. The list of passengers on the steamer was lost and all the nsmrn of those who were on boar.l have not aa yet been ascertained, but, has been learned, there weer so far no Americans among them. AUTHENTICATED FACTS CONCERNING EARTHQUAKES (By R. A. Maynard I Since the destructive earthquake In (Uni-verullst- ). - ONLY ONE BAYED. Ban Francisco last year much has been written not only concerning the famous earthquakes of hlrtory. but ns well relailve to what science ha to say concerning their origin and action. In the light of the recent destruction of Kingston and the frightful destruction of life and property there, even at the risk of repetition of much that has recently been written upon the subject, such scientific and historical data as Is obtainable may not prove uninteresting. One of the most complete contri- butions upon the subject, from ahlch I have quoted liberally In this compilation, la found In the Encyclopedia Americana. An earthquake lx defined ns a tremInbling of the earth's crust due to ternal causes. It rrmsixts of a aerie of nndulatovy Imputnes or elastic waves tranamltled through the rocks of the earth's crust in much the the same way that sound Is transmitted through the air. Their speed of transmission varies greatly. It Is greatest ner the startlna point a the waves die out and diminishes like the disturb ance caused by a body of water through the gulden throwing of a htoue or other heavy aubetanre therein. The speed la also effected by the elasticity or solidity of rock masses. In general, it varies from several hundred to several thousand feet per second. The waves uf the Uharb-Ktuearthquake la 16 bad tbe great speed of 16,0t0 font per second. The destructive effect of esrthquakes Is due to this und uUtorv speed and not, as would naturally be'suppoaed, to the extent of the vibrations. as there are usually only a very small fraction of an inch and but rarely as much as two Inrhes. The violence of earthquakes varies greatly. Delicate Instruments, seismographs So constructed as to show the slightest vibrations In the stability of the earth's crust, show that the cruat is almost continually trembling even In regions where earthquake hooka are rarely known. The results from tbs study of earthquake data are variable and puasllng. lu general the center of origin la found not to be a point, but aa area. The seismic center also varies aa to depth. It ia seldom aa much a thirty mllea lie'.ow the surface, and the commonest depth is eight or ten milt-s- . lu the Charleston earthquake It was at a depth of twelve mllea. An earthquake tremor may he felt nn the surface and not In the lower depths of deep mine, and vice versa. The rise of the area covered depends upon the violence of the Initial shock. The great Lisbon earthquake was distinctly felt over the whole of flniith-weEurope and Northwest Afrtrs. from The rtisriesion earthquake Northern Florida to New England and as far west aa Iowa, or over aa area approximately 1,000 miles long and ROu miles wide. In the Lisbon earthquake the tremors Tasted but six minutes, while In the ColomUan, to 1783-the trembling was practically continuous for four years, la the rethe cent Ban Francises earthquake trembling wu almost whnlly confined to tha slats of California. . The terrific explosion that lore off the greater part of the tslsnd of Krakatna la INKS canned eea waves that went around the world st a speed of 400 miles per hour. On the mast of Java the waves were over sixty fret high, and thousands of people were drowned. An earthquake hi the North Pacific In 1896 caused eaves forty feet high along the northern coast of Japan, drowning over 27,000 people. There Is a seismic sone encircling thn earth within which earthquakes are morn numerous than elsewhere, and this sons dues not coincide with Ihe distribution of volcanoes. The aone Includes Centra! America, tbo Wert Indies, the Aiores, Italy, Syria, Persia. Afghanistan, Thibet, Japan and Hawaii. The consensus of srlenttfla opinion concerning the esuse or causes of earthquakes, for they are attributed tu a variety of causes, seems to be an follows: 'gome earthquakes are due to expbisions of steant, the chief characteristics of volranic eruptions. Earthquakes frequently precede volcanic outbursts and cease as the eruption begins. It is possible, also, that In regions of present or recent volcanic activity, when no volcanic outbreak accoiniwnlea or follows an earthquake, the hitter may have been caused bv movements of molten rock redeep under ground. In regions mote from volcanoes, it Is probable that earthquakes .are caused by the same stresses In the earth's crust that tilt and fold fork strata unto mountains. The strains to whlrh the rucks are thns subjected when suddenly relieved by the rocks giving way fact, produce many earthquakes. In occurslight esrihqnskes of frequent rence In the Alps, llimalfyss, and In Southern Oregon Indicate that mountain building Is still In progress. The seismic sone, therefore, is simply a zone of weakness In the earth's crust. Earthqnakea In regions remote from volcanoes have usually been traced to some line of rock wenkne a ns a fault. Bitch earthquakes are merely phenomena accompanying rock movement. The Inyo valley (California) earth-auak- e of 1872 accompanied the foundation of faults along the bane of the Sierra Nevada range, the maximum throw being twenty feet. To the same cause, according to the best authorities, was dun the destructive Ban Francisco earthquake of last year. . st 7 .
