About this book
John Milne wrote Earthquakes and Other Earth Movements. A chapter summary on effects produced upon buildings includes, among others, typical houses for earthquake countries and the protection of buildings. A passage says Mallet, writing of the Neapolitan earthquake, tells us that towns on hills are rocked as on the top of masts.
A passage supposes that the earth is not continuous but suddenly terminates with a cliff or scarp, and says the particles adjacent to this cliff or scarp, having no resistance offered to their forward motion, are shot forward. The text says M. d’Abbadie commenced his observations after allowing this structure five years to settle. A passage on a mercury surface says sometimes the mercury appeared to be in violent motion, although both the air and neighbouring sea were perfectly calm. The text says the shock of March 11 was recorded at Tokio at 7.51.22 p.m. and at Yokohama at 7.51.33 p.m.
