ISOSEISMALS: DISTRIBUTION OF APPARENT INTENSITY. 283 
Water in a horse-trough spilt out, and the trees waved as if there had been a wind. 
The earthquake consisted of two separate shocks, accompanied by a roaring sound that 
seemed to come from the north. Springs near his house became muddy after the shock 
and remained so for 2 or 3 days. The flow of the springs increased to about four times 
the usual amount. 
Along the road down Penetencia Creek, a considerable amount of débris had slid into 
the road, in many places obstructing all travel except for pedestrians; but no evidence 
of cracks could be found. 
In the region between Alum Rock and Evergreen, about 50 per cent of the chimneys 
were thrown down, but none of the buildings were materially damaged. 
As the Santa Clara Valley was once more approached, the intensity of the shock per- 
ceptibly increased. At Evergreen, about 1.5 miles from the foot-hills, considerable dam- 
age was done; all the chimneys, all the road tanks, and nearly all of the wind-mills in 
the neighborhood fell. None of the houses were demolished, but some were shifted on 
their foundations. 
(H. R. Johnson.) —The Pierce ranch-house, 3 miles southeast of Evergreen, was 
badly shaken; plaster and chimneys were down and much chinaware was broken. This 
house is on the gravel of the large alluvial cones which have been built out along the 
southwest face of the Monument Peak Range, where the stream debouches upon 
the plain. A water-tank fell northeast and southwest where the Tully road crosses 
the Coyote River 1.5 miles northeast of Oak Hill Cemetery. 
At the Mayne ranch, 3 miles south of Oak Hill Cemetery, where the New Almaden 
Railroad crosses the Downer road, water from tanks and troughs was spilt in a north- 
west and southeast direction. To the west of the Mayne ranch, at the Downer ranch, 
a water-tank fell to the west. Mr. Downer said that milk in pans was spilt in the 
same direction. 
At the Poncelet ranch-house, on Llagas Creek, 7 miles southwest of Madrone Station, 
only one chimney fell and no dishes were broken and no, clocks stopt. This place is 
only 3.5 miles northeast of the fault-line and is situated directly upon rocks of the Fran- 
ciscan series. 
The Saunders ranch is 3.5 miles southwest of Madrone, on the Madrone road. The 
shock was quite heavy at this place; the chimneys were thrown down, dishes broken, 
and portions of what appeared to be quite solid and massive rock outcrops were thrown 
from the steep hills near the house. South of the Saunders place, 1.5 miles, a water- 
tank was thrown down. 
Santa Clara (G. F. Zoffman).—Nearly all the brick chimneys were thrown down and 
most of the brick buildings were damaged. At Santa Clara College the rotary motion 
of objects was shown by the turning of statues in the chapel thru an angle of 130°. In 
the library of the same institution four marble statues, with square bases, fell in three 
different directions; one facing 8. 87° W., another, facing N. 87° E., fell toward each 
other, while the others, facing, respectively, N. 3° W., S. 3° E., fell N.3°W. Professor 
Ricard, of the Science Department of the College, states that the vertical movement threw 
a wind-gage out of a socket a foot deep. This was the only evidence at the College 
of vertical motion. | 
Cemeteries (G. F. Zoffman). — A count was made of the number of tombstones thrown 
down in the Santa Clara Cemetery and the various directions in which they fell were 
noted. From these observations it seems that the shock was slightly more intense 
toward the easterly direction than toward the westerly. Twenty-five headstones were 
down and their respective directions of falling were, 3 N. 17° E.; 1 N. 32° E.; 1 N. 37° E.;
