Martin Offers Solution of Mt. Serat Landslid
The handmade of Mt. Sertat at Santos, Brazil, which resulted in a large loss of lives and property, cannot be attributed to the absence of H. T. Martin, assistant curator of the Paleontological Museum. Seepage of a stream on the northeast side of the mountain, causing the movement of the river, is his explanation of the disaster.
"Santos is built beneath the brow of Mt. Serat, which rises abruptly to a height of about 1000 feet." Mr. Marrino says, "Because of its dense growth with a dense growth of huge trees, which usually makes a landslide impossible. However, on the northeast side of the hill is a large stream, which, by seeping between the surges in the river, may cause erosion, may have loosened the top soil and caused the disaster."
Mr. Martin said that nothing like the landslide ever occurred before and it was not likely to happen again if the hill slid off on both sides.
Mr. Martin visited Santos in 1903 on his way from Buenos Aires to New York, where he found a market which there are over two thousand varieties in that vicinity. The great variety is produced by the industry of Santos, from whose harbor over half the world's coffee is shipped. In former times, according to Mr. Santos, he joined the crew of a ship that put into Santos, because of the prevalence of time Brazilian capitalists have made the harbor sanitary by walking the harbor in, thus preventing the greatest threat to the health of those who caused the unhealthful condition. Close to Santos, on the same harbor, is a small town where the first coffee plantation in South America was made.
