Digitized by VjOOQ iC 154 EARTHQUAKES. that the destruction had happened suddenly, and not come on gradually like an epidemic, it was supposed that they had been destroyed by an emanation of carbon di- oxide. The fiict that many of them lay in long lines suggested the idea that they had been endeavouring to escape at the time of the eniption.^ If we can suppose sudden develc^ments of gas like this to have occasionally accompanied earthquakes, we may somet...imes have the means of accounting for the sickness which has been felt. Disturbances in lakes, — ^It has often been observed that, at the time of large earthquakes, lakes have been thrown into violent agitation, and their waters have been raised or lowered. At the time of the great Lisbon earth- quake, not only were the waters of European lakes thrown into a state of oscillation, but similar effects were pro- duced in the great lakes of North America. In some instances, as in the case of small ponds, these movements may be produced by the horizontal backward and forward motion of the ground.
