Background radiations which bathe the Universe provide                  important clues to the history of the Universe and can even                     influence its evolution.  A search for a background of                          gravitational radiation in the mHz frequency range by observing                 the normal modes of the earth shall be undertaken.  The                         approximately two hundred station-years of data collected by the                Project IDA global network of seismometers will be analyzed to                  look for any residual excitations of the quadrupole modes of the                earth.  In addition a calculation of the level of excitations of                these modes by known terrestrial sources will facilitate the                    evaluation of the ultimate usefulness of the earth as a                         gravitational wave detector.
