The earthquake registered by ordinary seismographe, then, would correspond only to the ultimate phase, the definite manifestation, as it were, of a series of a complicated and grand icee phenomena. The preparatory period would, on the contrary, consist of some. secondary phenomena, the most important of which are oscillating discharges similar to those observed dozing thunderstorms.

On this hypothesis can be attempted a satisfactory solution of the problem at issue, by using an electro-magnetic wave dotector of proper arrangement. Aftar some experiments with different types of coherst had failed to give the resnits desired, Marrioni devised a special type of cohorer sensitive to all lengths of spark, in which the amount of iron filings between the terminal cylinders is varied according to the distance between the coherer and the spark gap, and to the length of spark.
