Earthquake Shocks Across Continents
A despatch from Laibach, Austria-Hungary, dated December 30, states that a series of earthquake shocks of great violence were recorded at that observatory that morning, having according to the estimation of scientists their center on the mainland between Mexico and Columbia. Isle of Wight recorded the same strong convulsions. Prof. John Milne believes such a disturbance must have been destructive unless marine. The same morning a heavy earthquake was recorded at Cheltenham, Md., lasting two hours. At Laibach it lasted four.
