"Volcanoes have played a large part in the history of the human race." said Prof. James Furman Kemp of Colum-

Iji Soufrlere In St. Vincent. "The steaming cones of Aetna were always before tbe ancients, and Vesuvius has been known for hundreds of years. It is said by some that St. John received his Inspiration for the Book of Revelations from the volcanoes near the Island of Patmos. Of the mysterious phenomena which Involve the earth's heat none has been so appalling In Ita effect a# the recent rgtaatrophe at Martinique. The eruption which detroyed P.impel! may have slain more people, bht the dearth of communication at the time made Its effect far less serious on the world at large. "Volcanoes are connected with the Interior heat of the earth. If we descend toward the Interior of the earth we find that a thermometer will rise one degree for every CO feet In the descent. At the depth of a mile the Increase of temperature is 88 degrees, and for 30 miles it would be almost 3C00 degrees. The temperature of molten lava Is about 2200 degrees Fahrenheit.

“A hole drilled in the Comstock Lode gave forth water at the heat of 170 degrees. Tne geysers in Yellowstone Park get their heat from old reservoirs ol -lava which have not yet

cooled.

■'Early, geologists were greatly 1mpi eased by these facts and reached the conclusion that the interior of the earth was a molten mass covered by a crust of from 26 to 60 miles in thickness. This theory Is no longer tenable. The Item of pressure has an Important influence on the fusing point of rock and hence on volcanic action. At one mile beneath the earth's surface there is a pressure of 6000 pounds to the square inch: at 20 miles it Is ' 29.000 pounds, and at 50 miles about j 330.000 pounds, or 115 tons. As we . descend the pressure increases rapidly, I and under these circumstances the : fusing of rock is impossible. If the earth bad the crust spoken of the at- ' traction of the sun and of the planets j would cause tides of incandescent ma- ] lerial which would soon, shatter this

| "Tke general theoiy today as held by geologists ly that the earth is solid' ‘ throughout. There are certain heated | reservoirs far beneath the surface | which give rise to volcanic eruptions. J Lighter rocks are thrown np from the ' comparative surface, and heavy rocks only appear from the depths when the volcano Is ai Us dying' stage. But shat are the forces which bring the lava afid scoriae to the surface? It quake at Charleston when uo volcanic eruptions are accompanied by earthquakes. The converse does not hold true as evidenced by the great earthquake at Charleston when no volcanjc phenomena wen* observed. 1 These earthquake shocks are_cpn|jficl£d with the causes tnat produce volcanic disturbances.

The steam Which U pent up In the volcanic reaerrolrs accumulates behind a barrier of rock and breaks it away firing rise to earthquake shocks.

Before tbat time It is supposed to have had 8‘XI yearn of quiescence, and when the upheaval came it blew out the whole side of the mountain. Mt. Felec has been quiet since 18L2. and considerable violence could have been anticipated from itr

eruption.

"What Is the source of the vapor which is kept in high tension lu the subterranean lava? it was noticed t'jat most volcanoes were near tbe sea coast and that tbe water which contains hydrochloric acid soaked down to the hot rocks and produced steam which eventually breaks its way through the volcano. Other gasea such as sulphuretted hydrogen and sulphurous anhydride were also thought to bo produced by this means. This would explain the flames seen in an eruption but tne light generally

is nothing but the reflection of white hot lava on the volcanic :e presence of tho cones in

Mexico and in central Asia, however, ore as far as poss.jte from tbe sea

“The vapors in the lava, it'therefore seems, have been in them since the.- lava first became a constituent part of the earth's composition.

"Volcanoes have produced many of the West inlian Islands, some of them ages ago.

Doablo.

The comprehensive merits of the hairpin are known to all observant men. Its special value in surgery is asserted by a writer in American Medicine. It seems thaj a surgeon can do almost anything with a hairpin. He can wire bones with it. probe and close wounds, pin bandages, compress blood vessels, use It "to remove foreign bodies from any natural passage.'' and "as a curette for scraping away soft material." And no doubt the women doctors can do a great deal more with that most gifted and versatile of human implements. Anthropologists have never- done justice * to the hairpin. It keeps civilization together. In the hands of girls entirely great It Is much mightier than tbe sword or. for that matter, the playr. What is the plow'but a development of the forked stick, and what is the forked stick but a modiflcatlun of the halt'pin? If there was any necessity, a woman could scratch the ground Fuccessfully with a hairpin now. In fact, there is no work or play In which something may not be accomplished by means of it. Dullards will tell you that women aren't so inventive as men. don’t take out so many patents. They don't have to. With the hairpin all that is doable can be done. With a hairpin a woman can pick a lock, pull a cork, peel an apple, draw out a nail, beat an egg. sec if a Joint of'meat Is done, do up a baby, sharpen a pencil, dig out a silv-

er. fasten a door, hang up a plate or a picture, open a can. take up a carpet, repair a baby carriage, clean a lamp Imney, put up a curtain, rake a grate

fire, cat a pie. make a fork, a flshnook. an awl, a gimlet or a chisel, a papercutter, a clothespin, regulate a range, ticker a sewing machine, stop a leak In the roof, turn over a ^apjack. caulk a bole In n pair of trousers, stir batter. whip cream, deduce the pressure In the gas meter, keep bills and receipts on file, spread butter, cut patterns, tighten windows clean a watch. untl>» a knot, varnish floors, do practical plumbing.' reduce the asthma of tobacco pipes, piy shirt studs Into buttonhclds too small for them, fix a horse's harness, restore damaged mechanical toys, wrestle with refractory beer

If a woman went Into the Robinson Cruaoe line, she could build, a hut and make bar a coat, ot the skin of a goat by means of the hairpin. She will revolutionise surgery with it in time. Meanwhile the male chlrargeona are doing the best they can; but It is not to be believed tbat they have mastered tbe tall mystery of the hairpin.—New Vork Sun.
