Abstract
EARTHQUAKE shocks were felt at many places in the midland counties about 1.30 p.m. on Tuesday. The reports which have been received up to the time of going to press show that the counties of Derby, York, Stafford, Cheshire, Notts and Leicester were affected by the disturbance. Two shocks were felt at most places, one a few minutes after the other. Though no very serious damage was done, the rumbling noise and the vibrations due to the earthquake caused much alarm, and people ran from their houses into the streets. We give below a summary of the reports which have appeared in the daily papers, and the report of an interview with Prof. Milne, published In Wednesday's Daily Mail.
