COLUMBUS.—Ohio for many years to come, perhaps fo r centuries, may continue to .experience an occasional mild earth shock although th ' mid die 'w est is the "m ost qoakeproof district in the world." This is the opinion o f State Geologist Wilber Stout. Be said the most recent earth­ quakes, which caused considerable a- torm in several sections o f Ohio, five adjoinitag states and a portion o f Canada, but resulted in: relatively little property, damage, was brought about h y a. "small re-adjustment o f layers o f rock, probably in the old glacial regions," Such re-adjustments are common, but frequently are o f such email extent that they do not reach the surface, Geologist Stout pointed out. Ho added that depth o f the rock Varies and that vibrations are trans- . mitted best through that which is hard and dense, not through the porus type. "These earth treiqprs are common," he asserted, “ There -is a ‘ tension in the upper crusts and when, this ten­ sion is relieved a shod? occurs. There ia nothing 'Serious about it. The in- , terior o f the earth is cooling gradually and while the rock formation in this part o f the world in very old and prac­ tically cold, a little local strain causes mild .shocks," f o r e c l o su r e ; ju d g m e n t The Peoples Building and Savings Co, has been awarded . a $5,458.05! mortgage foreclosure judgment in a' suit against Ernest Sellers and; others. ’ .
