THE CAUSE OF THE CATASTROPHE
YOKOHAMA, June 23rd. There appears to be much uncertainty as to
the cause of the terrible calamity by which the littoral of north-eastern Japan has been devas- tated. The Japanese newspapers have hitherto been using the term "kal-ahu" to describe the mazing disturbance. But "kal-shu,” as tha Tiit Shimpo polats out, is the Chinese epithet for a "bore," which is a tidal flood formed at the mouth of some rivers where the faward flow of the sea, encountering obstacles, such as a bar, or a pecullar formation of the shore, has to accumulats energy before surmounting the difficully, and then finally sweeps forward in a vast volume. No much explanation fits the circumstances al the recent catastrophe, for neither great rivers nor special topographical conditions exist between Kinkwa-zan and Hachi- no-ye. An atmospheric disturbance on a large scale might have been responsible for the waYA, But there has been no intelligence of such a disturbance, and when we consider that the wave is said to have attained a height of 80 feet, it is difficult to attribute it to a that could not have lashed the ocean to tary without producing immense effects alber- wise. We are thus driven to infer the exercise
of seismic force, but even then the question remains whether a volcanic eruption or subsidence was the form of energy displayed. The theory of subsidence presents to some minds this difficulty, that the genesis of depressed area in the bed of the peti seems calculated to produce nothing more than an farash water from all sides, equally, and can not carily be held responsible for a surface waveO rulling rapidly in one direction. But a moment's thought shows that a andden downpouring of the depths of the sea at a particular place must of necessity cause a corresponding change of level at the surface, and that the waters, before permanently adjusting themselves to the new conditions, cannot fail to develop superficial commoiton proportionale to the cataclysm below, A submarine volcanic crup- Bon, however, offers the easiest explanation. The case of the Bandal-san catastrophe, in 1886, Illustrates very vividly the kind of disturbance that may occur at any moment among the ranges of volcanic mountains at the depths of the ocean, Total.........$2,180
