EXPLOSION THEORY
; ) . , , V vNO EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT (M> Tel«*ra®b— Special to “Ttaa Hail”) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. Mr H. F. Baird, a member of the staff of the Magnetic Observatory, who* has investigated the devastated districts for some weeks, found no evidence of explosions. “In my opinion,” he said, “there is not one tittle of evidence to support the explosion theory. Certainly hiU spurs and'.faces have lurched out for great distances, but the apparently ejected material does not owe its present situation to being thrown out through the air, as many think. I have no doubt geologists can explain the seismic convulsion quite satisfactorily, and I am not aware of any seisomographic record which' supports the explosive theoiy. In fact the intensity of the phases are all against it as the cause.”
