Water levels in many Adams county water wells fluctuated several feet as a result of shock waves triggered by the recent Alaskan earthquake. A network of observation wells throughout the state operated jointly by the Indiana department of conservation and the U. S. department of the interior, Geological survey, recorded the abrupt changes. In fact, throughout the state, 19 wells changed water tables! One well located northeast of Indianapolis at Fort Harrison recorded an oscillation amounting to 8% feet! Others ranged from more than a foot down to a fraction of an inch. These “bounces” are caused by compressive forces emitted by the shock waves that travel outward from the epicenter — southeast of Anchorage, Alaska —of the earthquake. These same waves, you remember, moved the capitol building in Washington an inch forward and back. They probably moved all of us, but we didn’t have the equipment to measure the amount, or even sense the change. . Since the water in a well is affected by the physical forces acting on the limestone which holds the water, the “waves” in the earth are transmitted to the Water in the well. It isn’t uncommon for water levels to be affected by distant earthquakes — it’s just uncommon for us to realize it! Just think of what a powerful force an earthquake must be to affect the depth of water in a well thousands of miles away by as much as eight feet. Man has not yet equalled the destructive power of God through nature, even with the largest nuclear bomb. Hundreds of water wells were surveyed by the state and federal government in Adams county just a few years ago, and the survey is now available through the conservation department. It tells us quite a bit about our water. For example, it not only tells us what we already know —• that it tastes bad — but it tells us what the minerals are, and ip what quantity, that make it taste bad! And it estimates the amount of ground water available to us — even if it is bouncing ground water, affected by earthquakes, tides, etc. Water-level observation wells are quite important and necessary to farmers, businessmen and thirsty housewives alike. They help us keep tabs on the water level all over the state — and- in years like the past three, when rainfall is scarcer than hen’s teeth, it is more than usual to know where we stand, waterwise. The date on disturbances to water levels recorded in Hoosier wells in Indiana and attributed to the Alaskan earthquake of March 27-28, 1964, were furnished by the district geologist, U.S. geological survey, in Indianapolis.

12 Sentenced For Big Train Robbery AYLESBURY, England (UPI) —Twelve men were sentenced to prison terms ranging from three to 30 years today for the $7.33 million “great train robbery,” the biggest cash haul in the history of crime. Seven received 30-year sentences. Two got 25 years each, one 24, another 20 and the 12th three years. All were convicted of taking part in the robbery and conspiring to commit the crime. Judge Edmund Davies, who took 32 minutes to pass the sentences, said the 12 were guilty of complicity “in one way or the other for a crime which in its impudence and enormity is tne first of its kind in the •country.” He said the case proved that “crime is not worth even the most alluring candle.” The convicts were accused in Connection with the hi-jacking of a mail train last Aug. 8 at a country crossing near this Buckinghamshire community. Thieves stopped the train by Changing a signal light from green to red, then carted off tons of worn bills that were being taken to London to be exchanged for new currency. More than $5.6 million of the loot is still missing and three major suspects in the robbery are still at large. The 30-year sentences so r seven of the defendants were extremely stiff for British courts. The longest term in recent British judicial history was the 42-year term ordered in ■ May, 1961, for confessed Soviet ■ spy George Blake.
