Honor of Reing Shock's
Center.
By Intimation*! Vrvlw.
New York, March 2.—Scientists
still were unable today to agree upon
exactly where originated the subter
ranean disturbance that caused North
America to quake Saturday night
from Canada to Florida, and even
beyond the Mississippi river. Some
believed the earthquake was provoked
by a. shifting of substrata rock near
the Saguenay river's mouth In Que
bec. Others thought they had traced
It to a region near the Great Lakes.
Still others put the seat of the shiv
erlng off the New England coast,
while some estimated that southeast
ern Pennsylvania was the spot of
origin.
Opinions Differ.
Prof. Douglas W, Johnson of Colum
bia university's physiography depart
ment, who was awsrded the $250 A.
Creasy Morrison prize for his discov
ery of a “fault" running 350 miles
from the Bay of Fundy toward Massa
chuseets, supposes thst ebe quaking
originated In thst area.
Father Tondorff of Georgetown uni
verslty, Washington, D. C., on the
other hand, told students of the phe
nomenon that he believed the quiver
ing to have originated about the
Great Lakes.
Dr. Chester A. Reed, seismologist
of ths Museum of Natural History
here, judged from his seismograph
records that the disturbance came
either from the Sagueney river mouth
section, or else from off the Maine
coast.
Greaf takes Center.
Father J. S. O'Connor, Fordham
university seismologist, was Inclined
to think that the source of the Jarring
was around the eastern end of the
Great Lakes chain.
Prof. Alan N. Bateman, New York
university geologist, thought the
quake traceable to a sinking of the
New England coast.
Nearly all students of these pheno
mena were In accord on one thing.
That was that It would take a consid
erable time, during which all available
records w^uld be studied, to ascertain
with any certainty whence came the
quake and what happened there to
cause it.
