UNIVERSITY SEISMOGRAPH RECORDS DOUBLE QUAKE

A double earthquake, the first of that nature recorded this year, was registered at the Seismograph Station in the University Museum late Monday night. The vibrations of the quake were recorded for slightly more than an hour.

The disturbance was of a nature indicating a double quake at the point of origin, but the vibrations of the two arriving simultaneously so confused the record that the distance from Cambridge could not be calculated exactly from the single reading.

So far as could be determined, however, the quake was about 4000 miles distant, and was estimated to have arisen in Mexico. This is the second disturbance within a month in that country, a severe shock having been recorded on March 22. The exact location of the disturbance will be known in a week, when records of seismographs throughout the country have been compared in Washington. The double quake was probably caused by two strata of rock slipping simultaneously.
