EARTH MOVEMENTS.
DATA FROM OBSERVATORIES. CRUST NOT DISTURBED. Sun. LONDON, Aug. 31. Tho Westminster Gazette says that as a result of recent fears that the movements of tho earth's surface, on the LowthianGreen theory, had been accelerated, the observatories in Greenwich, Australia, New Zealand, Paris, Berlin, America, Algiers and Shanghai began observations in October, 1926, to discover what the movements were. They used time signals on wireless of different wave-lengths, tho reception of which from three points in the same latitude and eight hours apart in longitude were expected to accentuate the discrepancies. The Greenwich Observatory has now received tho data from all but three of the other observatories. These reveal that the world's crust has not moved one fraction.
