(From tho New Yotk Ile >? ) WASHINGTON, Seplemlicr 12.-Prof. Cleveland Abijo, who was absent from Washington daring tho recent earthquake, has returned and bas given t<? your corre spondent some inter?s'?og views as to Hie event. Ho boa loado a very extensivo study of oarth(iuake-s and thc theories regarding them. His views ure outlined 08 follows: Prof. Abl?e considers the Charleston earthquakes lo belong to tho samo category as that which W08 sn violent at Long Branch on August 10, 1884, and willoh waa felt from Moioo to Yiiginia and westward to Ohio. About one hundred ?lld fifty such earthquakes occurred between l^"'-' ond 1882. .md WCrC studied in thc ai dele hy Prof. Ahhe, published in thc //tt'fiftf ol) August 17. issi In this article Prof. Abbe concludes that those shocks originated above thc Arehaieii strata and la thc lower portion of the .sedimentary doposlts-nilUiQ ly, from one to live miles Mow the earth's surface, lie holds that lhere is no rcosoti to believe ia a hot mild ;luterlor, but that probably thc rocks boncatk thia portion of the surface of the globe are in a condition of considerable constraint duo to sovorol causc<-namely, first, the weight of super Incumbent mosses; second, the contraction due to slow cooling or thc expansion due | to warming ia case chemical changea lire still going on; third, tho stiain duo lo ben ! lng; and fourth, tho strain duo to tho slow process of crystallization, such as occurs In thc formation of dikes or mnssca ? il .. ranlh marble, i've, ruder these accumulated strains thc rocky strata arc perpetually cracking, sliding c>n each other, resting und again giving way. Every "failli" mel w ith in n mine or quarry means a slight earthquake If it were not for the myriads of lillie quakes W'c should have to do only with greater earthquake'', w hich would, In fact, bo of thc nature of terrible paroxytons, When a envere earthquake bannend it ls usually preceded and followed by mimer our Blighter quakes, indicating that the strata art; gradually being relieved of theil strained condition, but that Ibo main relief is found in the main shock. The distribution of tho one hundred and fifty Apalachian earthquakes show that numerically they aro least frequent from May to September, but that these are prc clscly thc months w hen the severer earth quakes arc likely to occur; and, again, thal a period of few earthquakes ls csjieclully likely to bc followed by one or two scvi o ones that bccoino stronger tho longer tho period of deai th has existed. Charleston ?lea precisely 111 the region where thc earthquakes have been least frc (picul for the last Hf leen years.
