SEISMOGRAPH GIVEN LEAVE TO SEARCH FOR OIL FORTUNES

The University seismograph, now located in the University Museum, will change its abode to the southern states this summer, according to an announcement made last night by L. D. Leet, Observer of the Harvard Station. The seismograph is to be employed in searching for rich oil fields in the water-covered territory of the Mississippi Delta region of Louisiana.

Artificial earthquakes will be produced in this region by employing dynamite blasts. The resulting vibrations, recorded on the seismograph, will aid in the possible discovery of submarine oil fields which are believed to be located in that region.
