—The most striking in-stance of uninterrupted subterranean
noise unaccom-panied by any trace of earthquake, is the
phænomenonwhich is known in the Mexican territory,
by the nameof “the subterranean roaring and thundering
(bra-midos y truenos subterraneos) of Guanaxuato.”
Thisrich and celebrated mountain city is situated at a
dist-ance from any active volcano. The noise began on the9th January, 1784, at midnight, and lasted above amonth. I have been enabled to give a circumstantialdescription of the phænomenon from the report of manywitnesses, and from the documents of the municipalitywhich I was permitted to make use of. From the 13thto the 16th of January, it was as if there were heavystorm-clouds under the feet of the inhabitants, in whichslow rolling thunder alternated with short thunderclaps. The noise ceased gradually, as it had com-menced; it was confined to a small space, for it wasnot heard
in a bassaltic district at the distance of onlya few miles.
Almost all the inhabitants were terrifiedand quitted the city,
in which large masses of silverwere stored; but the most
courageous, when they hadbecome somewhat accustomed to the
subterraneanthunder, returned and fought with the bands of
rob-bers who had taken possession of the treasure.
Neitherat the surface, nor in mines 1,598 English feet in
depth,could the slightest trembling of the ground be
per-ceived. In no part of the whole mountainous countryof Mexico had anything similar been ever known be-fore, nor has this awful phænomenon been since re-peated. Thus, as chasms in the interior of the earthclose or open, the propagation of the waves of soundis either arrested in its progress or continued until itreaches the ear.—Humboldt’s
Travels.
