The most striking instance of uninterrupted subterraneannoise
unaccompanied by any trace of earthquake, is thephænomenon which is known in the Mexican territory bythe name of “the subterranean roaring and thundering(bramidos y truenos subterraneos) of Guanaxuato.” Thisrich and celebrated mountain-city is situated at a distancefrom any active volcano. The noise began on the 9thJanuary,
1784, at midnight, and lasted above a month. Ihave been enabled
to give a circumstantial description ofthe phænomenon
from the report of many witnesses, andfrom the documents of the
municipality which I was per-mitted to make use of. From the
13th to the 16th ofJanuary, it was as if there were heavy
storm-clouds underthe feet of the inhabitants, in which slow
rolling thunderalternated with short thunder-claps. The noise
ceasedgradually, as it had commenced; it was confined to a
smallspace, for it was not heard in a basaltic district at
the dis-tance of only a few miles. Almost all the inhabitants
wereterrified and quitted the city, in which large masses
ofsilver were stored; but the most courageous, when theyhad become somewhat accustomed to the subterraneanthunder, returned and fought with the bands of robberswho had taken possession of the treasure. Neither at thesurface, nor in mines 1,598 English feet in depth, could theslightest trembling of the ground be perceived. In nopart of the whole mountainous country of Mexico hadanything similar ever been known before; nor has thisawful phænomenon been since repeated. Thus, as chasmsin the interior of the earth close or open, the propagationof the waves of sound is either arrested in its progress orcontinued until it reaches the ear.—Humboldt’s Cosmos.
