It is only in quite recent years that suchyang (organisation has become possible. Long, agb,. after the great Lisbon earthquake in 1755, ob |sorvere noled that open expanses of water in widely-separated.countries had been agitated at about the time af the disaster: and they were quick to attribute the motion to pulsations in the soil which had radialed from the coast of Portugal. Mom than a century passed," abd' various European astronomers, notably M. Nyres, of the Russian Observatory at Tulkova, ia 1877 began to connect disturbances in the delicate adjustment of their levels with earth" quakes in distant parts of the world! In 188) Prof. Milne, who then occupied the Chair of Mining and Geology in the Imperial College of Enginearing at Tokio, anticipated the results of future investigations by declaring it to be "pot unlikely that every large earthquake` might with proper instrumental appliances be record- ́ed at any point on the land surfaces of the

globe."

Japan was at the time no; only aspiring to a A. CHAZALON & CO.,

place among the Great Puwers, but showing herself willing to learn the lessons of modern WINE, progress. Har island empire is. remarkably subject to seismic disturbances, and the Yoko- bama carthquake of Februsty; 1880, led to the formation of a Japanese Seismological Society. The Japanese Government lent its support to1 the movement; and in brief it may be said that in no country in the world bas naything. like so much been done as in Japan to advance the science of earthquakes an i to study ways Cand means of mitigating their effects.

For many years Prof Milne took a leading part in placing the investigation of earthquake activity in Japan on a sound bails. In Europe' rand Ameriet other investigators were devoting in good desi of attention to the same subject, the work of Dr. E. von Rebrur Paschwitz being deserving of special mention. Look- ing back, one cannot say that here or there seismology had its birth » like Topsy. it has "just growed." The study of com parative records is, -however, essential to the' icontinued advance of the science ;"and it is. for this purpose that Prof. Milne has devoted himself since his return 16 this country to building up an international organisation which aqw embraces about a stations in different

Great Britain was represented at the last. congress, but bas hitherto held aloof from the scheme, which virtually duplicates in an official form, the organisation established by Prof. Milne, France has also held aloof, partly perhaps on account of the memories attacking to Strassburg. The movement thus lacked the support of the two Powers whose co-operation was especially desired on account of the extent of their colonial posses- sions. Now, however, it is understood that both France and Great Britain bave given

beir adhesion to the scheme.
