The north-western, part of Kyushu forms one of the districts of minimum seismic activity in Japan, and the two strong earthquakes on December 8th, 1922, though the most severo in the Shimabara Peninsula and the vicinity of Nagnaak since 1792, belong to the category of sinall destructive shocks. The panic was considerable, but the seismic damage was comparatively small, the total casualties being 25 killed and 29 injured. At the meteorological observatory of Nagasaki the amount of the maximum earthquakes motion was 1 inches, and the seismia force in the city was only about half so great as in Tokyo on the occasion of the strong shock on April 28th, 1622, whose origin was situated at the entrance of the Tokyo bay.

Perhaps the beat summary of the conflicting teridencies of the time was spoken by Pasteur in almost prophetic terms in his speech at the opening of the Pasteur Institute in Paris, when he closed with these words:

Two opposing laws seen to me now in content. The one a law of blood and death, opening cut each day new modes of destruction, forces the nations to be always ready for battle. The other, a law of peace, work, and health, whose only aim is to deliver man from the calamities which beger him. The one seeks violent conquests, the other the relief of man- kind.
