They are part of -anew kind of

originated by Dr. Bailey Willis, fam-

ducted by Dr. Lydik Jacobsen.
The earthquakes are produced by a
"shaking table," a three -ton platform
half the slz of a flat car. It is mount-
ed ou iron wheels on a cartraek and
buffered at each end with huge steel
springs.
An unbalanced flywheel gives the
effects of rhythmic • waves in the

striping a bumper spring on the end
of the platform gives the crashing;

These laboratory quakes give engi-

designing buildings at practicable
costs for safer resistance. One is
the action of two types of construc-
tion, rigid and flexible. The other is
the action of soils of different moist.

A big plank, stout enough to bridge
a small creek for a man's weight, is
set vertically on the vette table with
its upper end free. Alongside is set
up a short slender board, which a
man could almost break in his hands.
When the table shakes at the right
tempo the tops of both boards swing
to and fro in unison like a tall and a
short man keeping step. Both carry
at the top proportionately equal
weights, and show that the destruc-
