When they noticed that many shallow earthquakes came from under it, they searched seismograph records for similar earthquake centers in unsounded parts of the oceans. By last week the Lamont men could trace the cracks 40,000 miles clear around the earth (see map). As in the Atlantic, the cracks generally follow the tops of rises in the ocean bottom. They stay midway between large land...

The Lamont improvement is an ingenious filtering device that separates earthquake waves from local confusion...
