Book Description
Excerpt from Scottish Geographical Magazine, 1899, Vol. 15 Now, the distance between Tokyo and Potsdam is 5110 miles measured along the chord, and 5560 miles measured along the arc. Assuming then that the origin of the earthquake was not very far distant from Tokyo, we find that certain tremors started by the earthquake must have travelled at a rate of 400 miles per minute, or nearly seven miles per second; that the vibrations which produced the maximum motion travelled at the rate of 110 miles per minute, or nearly two miles per second; while the most slowly moving disturbances attained an average speed of only 34 miles per minute, or fully half a mile per second.

Pages : 323
Book Description
Christianity in Northern Malawi deals with the interaction of the missionary methods of the Scottish missionary Donald Fraser and the traditional culture of the Ngoni people of northern Malawi in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It looks at Ngoni origins and culture prior to first contacts with the missionaries, at the early life and ideas of Fraser, and at Fraser's disagreements with some of his Scottish colleagues. There are also sections on Ngoni interactions with the early colonial government, and the development of a genuinely Ngoni Church. The book uses primary and oral sources, some of which were not previously available.
