The most striking instance of uninterrupted subterraneannoise,
unaccompanied by any trace of earthquake, is the phe-nomenon
which is known in the Mexican territory by thename of
“the subterranean roaring and thundering (bramidosy
truenos subterraneos) of Guanaxuato.” This rich and cele-brated mountain-city is situated at a distance from anyactive
volcano. The noise began on the 9th January, 1784,at midnight,
and lasted above a month. I have been ena-bled to give a
circumstantial description of the phenomenonfrom the report of
many witnesses, and from the documentsof the municipality which
I was permitted to make use of.From the 13th to the 16th of
January, it was as if there wereheavy storm-clouds under the
feet of the inhabitants, inwhich slow rolling thunder
alternated with short thunder-claps. The noise ceased gradually,
as it had commenced; itwas confined to a small space, for it
was not heard in abasaltic district at the distance of only a
few miles. Almostall the inhabitants were terrified and quitted
the city,in which large masses of silver were stored; but the
mostcourageous, when they had become somewhat accustomedto the subterranean thunder, returned and fought with thebands of robbers who had taken possession of the treasure.Neither at the surface, nor in mines 1598 English feetin depth, could the slightest trembling of the ground beperceived. In no part of the whole mountainous countryof Mexico had anything similar been ever known before;nor has this awful phenomenon been since repeated. Thus,as chasms in the interior of the earth close or open, thepropagation of the waves of sound is either arrested in itsprogress or continued until it reaches the ear.—Humboldt’sCosmos.
