Subterranean Noises.—The most striking instanceof uninterrupted subterranean noise unaccompanied byany trace of earthquake, is the phenomenon which isknown in the Mexican territory by the name of “the sub-terranean roaring and thundering (bramidos y truenos sub-terraneos) of Guanaxuato.” This rich and celebratedmountain-city is situated at a distance from any activevolcano. The noise began on the 9th January 1784, atmidnight, and lasted above a month. I have been ena-bled to give a circumstantial description of the phenome-non from the report of many witnesses, and from thedocuments of the municipality which I was permitted tomake use of. From the 13th to the 16th of January, itwas as if there were heavy storm-clouds under the feet ofthe inhabitants, in which slow rolling thunder alternatedwith short thunder-claps. The noise ceased gradually, asit had commenced; it was confined to a small space, forit was not heard in a basaltic district at the distance of only afew miles. Almost all the inhabitants were terrified andquitted the city, in which large masses of silver werestored; but the most courageous, when they had becomesomewhat accustomed to the subterranean thunder, return-ed and fought with the bands of robbers who had takenpossession of the treasure. Neither at the surface, nor inmines 1,598 English feet in depth, could the slightesttrembling of the ground be perceived. In no part of thewhole mountainous country of Mexico had anything simi-lar been ever known before; nor has this awful phenome-non been since repeated. Thus, as chasms in the interiorof the earth close or open, the propagation of the waves ofsound is either arrested in its progress or continued untilit reaches the ear.—Humboldt’s Kosmos.
