...solid rock ahead of actual exploration by operations are of course of vital interest to men in this field and geologists and others interested in the development of natural resources have steadily been working on the improvement of methods for estimating the nature of bodies concealed in the crust of the earth. No methods have been found or are likely to be found that will give a final and complete answer to this problem. encountered in the complex conditions that exist in nature, but with constant study more and more ways of scanning critical evidence of various sorts are being...

Shifts in the axis of the earth, and tides in its crust are other possibilities, the scientists assure us, just like that...

Several hypotheses are being considered to explain the phenomena which may be due to a combination of causes. Theoretically a small tide must take place in the earth's crust as the moon revolves about the earth. But from other considerations it is not thought that this can be sufficiently large to account for the observed effect. Professor Stetson is now considering the possible effect of a tidal wave in the earth's atmosphere caused by the moon which may alter the apparent direction of the ray of light from a star and produce the effect noted. The most direct...
