 Volcanoes What They Are and What
 They Teach by John w. Judd, F R. s.,
 Professor of Geology in the Royal School of
 Mines is a volume of the International Scien-
 tific Series published by D. Appleton x Co.
 This is remarkable work. In it Professor
 Judd presents new and interesting theory
 respecting the character and condition of the
 interior of our globe. He gives an exhaus-
 tive statement of the phenomena of volca-
 noes, and of the facts in the formation of
 mountain chains, and relates a mass of inter-
 esting observations and facts, the results of
 patient and extensive personal investigation
 and study, mostly in different places in sorth-
 ern Europe, but not neglecting the wo ld's
 larger volcanoes In other regions. The au-
 thor appears to be cautious investigator,
 who takes nothing for granted, and does not
 jump to nasty generalizations or conclusions.
 Recognizing the fact that the study of the
 laws of volcanic action is still in it's infancy,
 he tests the commonly accepted idea that the vast interior of the globe is 8 mass of liquid fire by the facts which have been positively ascertained-and rejects it.
 He proceeds to present an array of strong facts and reasons to sustain the idea that volcanic outbursts are explosions of steam and he gives, as his own belief, that the molten condition of things, instead of extending throughout the great central inte- rior, is but a local condition, reaching to no great depth below the rock ribbed crust. He reaches other interesting conclusions, among them that, instead of dying out, volcanoes will continue to act, and even to increase.
