Abstract
WE had a sharp momentary shock of earthquake here at four o'clock this afternoon. I happened to have my eyes fixed on a plant with long variegated leaves on my dining-room table. Suddenly there was a heavy sound as of some subterranean fall, and simultaneously the leaves of this plant were violently agitated—waved up and down—for some seconds. It was as if it had risen vertically and then fallen. It was wholly unmoved by so much as a tremor the rest of the afternoon. I tried to reproduce anything like the same disturbance by hand, but without success.
