Note and Comment

The New York Times has compiled a record of earth convulsions for the year 1902, from April 10 to September 23. It appears from this list that no less than sixty dates in this period of time were marked by these earth throes, or one almost every two days. The territory affected reached from Alaska to Ecuador, and from New Jersey to California and the Hawaiian Islands in the Western hemisphere, and embraced Japan, the Philippines, Italy, and European Turkey in the Eastern hemisphere,—a very considerable part of the earth’s surface. “Seismologically,” says the Scientific American, “the year has been one of the most remarkable recorded in history.” “The most remarkable of any,” we think this authority might safely have said.
