PLOTS OF THE RoYALIsTs.

The attempted assassination of
Lawyer Labor of the counsel for Drey-
fus is generally believed to be part of
a plot of the royalists of France to
create disturbances, foment dissensions
among the people, necessitate the call
ing out of troops and to start a revolu-
ton If possible. The demonstration at
the Paris races some time ago in which
President Loubet was assaulted by
some count or other out of job was
an effort in the same direction But
the disturbance was so quickly and eff
fectually Quelled, and the rioters We're
so unceremoniously hustled off to Jail
that the uprising died at its birth.
Now the royalists are counting the
nilitarists. They are very solicitous
about the honor Of the army they once
affected to despise and certainly feared.
The army is being misused by corrupt
agencies that have obtained control of
it. Many of its officers are already
known as forgers, traitors and con-
spiratOrs. These are willing to CO.
operate with the royalists in an at
tempt TO overthrow the republic and
restore one Of the refugee pretenders to
power The sentiment upon which they
are trying to command a portion of the
public is the anti-Semitic feeling that
the original conspirators played upon
with such success in their persecution
of lola and Dreyfus. But it is en-
couragiug to know that the French
press, almost without exception, de-
nounce this cowardly, unprovoked as
sault upon a gentleman whose connec-
ton with the case has been purely pro-
fessional.
Does it not seem strange that royal
lists who profess TO live in constant fear
of anarchy should seek to employ it for
the purpose of regaining authority?
And that assassination which they
dread and deprecate when they are in
power should be an act of their own
encouragement when they are out of
power? Anarchists attempt to justify !
violence on the ground that it intimi- |
dstes tyranny and causes the iron hand |
of oppression to loosen its grasp of the |
people. What excuse will royalists /
make? The common experience of men /
and nations has taught those who We're /
willing TO learn that murder is not an |
agency of reform.

and anvil. A similar fancy described
Etna as the prison of another deity,
| who, vanquished by a superior power
had been thrust under the mountain;
the disturbances incident TO Etna'S
| frequent eruptionS were supposedly due
! to the vigorous but futile efforts of the
imprisoned god TO free himself from so
uncomfortable situation.
Even long after the science of ge-
ology had risen to prominence vague.
and fanciful notions concerning volca
noes and associated phenomena were
promulgated. Thus the thought that
burning mountains" were dependent
fer their activity upon the combustion
of the subterranean coal beds was Sc
riously urged. AS late as 1889 Werner
spoke of the highly probable conjec-
ture that most If not all volcanoes
arose from the combustion of under
ground seams of COAL" Now. however,
more rational views are held regarding
the causes of volcanic action. yet the
science of vulcanology is of but recent
origin. Scarcely more than century
has elapsed since the first well directed
efforts were instituted to collect and
collate facts in this field of inquiry.
The most prominent idea suggested
by the commonly accepted definition Of
a volcano is that of a mountain which
manifests some sort of fiery energy.
lnlS, however, IS not lHe eSScHlldl I6d-
ture, for while it is true that the vol
cano is geographically indicated by
some local elevation of the earth's
crust, the characteristic occurrence is
really that of a hole in the ground
from which issues heated materials.
The mountain is largely and in most
cases almost wholly due to the accumu-
lation of these materials about the ORR
flee in the form of a mound or cone.
and such is therefore, the result of
the volcanic action. True. the elevation
may be in part due to the lifting or
arching of the crust by the operation
of subterranean forces; indeed. cones of
elevation are spoken of as distinguished
from cones of eruption, but of the two
the latter are the more important.
With respect to these cones of erup-
ton. volcanic mountains are readily
classified under two divisions:
l. Those with low fiat cones, consist
ing of true lava, or rock matter, which
at the time of election was in molten

IDEAL SECTION OF A VOLCANO.

probably some free hydrogen, and the
vapors of such metals as mercury, an
timony and arsenic. Some of these
chemical substances react among them
selves and upon the materials of the
rocks to produce a variety of other
compounds; thus hydrochlOric acid may
combine with the iron present in the
rocks with which the vapors come in
contact to produce the bright yellow
ron-chloride, and this, when deposited
about the vent, is often mistaken for
sulphur. Materials of economic value
may be obtained from volcanic open
ings; e. G., at historic Vulcano. where
chemical works have been established
for the preparation of salammoniac,
boric acid. etc.
The feasibility of the lavas elected
from different volcanoes and from the
same volcano at different times varies
greatly, and corresponding differences
are observed in the hardened rock. The
Vesuvian lava stream of 1858 was of a
highly viscid nature; the flow was slow
and the solidifed rock is strikingly
ropy. The same mountain in 1872 sent
forth a flow of very liquid lava. which
rapidly spread over the region and
hardened with a rough, jagged sur
face.
The force required to produce vol
canic eruptions is almost inconceivably
great, and the energy of even mod
crate outburst is appalling. It has been
calculated that to raise the lava to q
height of some active crater mouths
requires a lifting power of hundreds
of atmospheres; thus, for Vesuvius S25
atmospheric pressures are requisite;
Etna. 900: for Cotopaxi, 1,63S. These
are based on the assump
ton that the condition of hydrostatic
equilibrium would be at sea level. 1t
frequently happens that the mountain
mass is unable to withstand the strain
of this tremendous force operating
within. and is riven from the central
conduit outward; in such cases the
rents are likely to become filled with
the molten rock. which hardens, and
by later erosion may be exposed as
great bikes.
Then, further, the interior forces may
find reader vent by making new open
ings on the mountain side or at its
base. From these secondary craters

elections occur. and the erupted mater
ials accumulate to form mounds or
monticles. Etna rarely sends forth
lava from the main crater. but emits
copious flows from several openings
near the base, each of which is asso-
ciated with a monticle; this circum-
stance justifies the representation of
Etna as mother of mountains, with
her children around her
The amount of material thrown out in
the course of a single eruption is often
times enormous. OF recorded examples
the following may be cited: In 1915
there was an eruption of Tomboro
volcano on the island of Sumbawa; the
elected ashes and cinders were calcu-
lated at thirty-seven cubic miles, and
the fall was so heavy that at dis
lance of forty miles houses were
crushed by the load, while 300 miles
away the daytime darkness due to the
volcanic dust was like that of the deep
est night. The noise OF this eruption
was heard at distance of nearly 1000
miles. Vesuvius, in 1887 elected nearly
II, 900, 900 cubic yards of rock matter.
and in 1894 the mountain emitted over
%, 000. goo cubic yards. In 1860 Etna dis
gorged a quantity of material equal to
twenty times the volume of the noun
tain. Kilauea, in 1910, sent forth lava
which. according to the estimate OF
Professor Dana, was sufficient to cover
a square mile to the depth of 500 feet.
Vesuvius, the only active volcano of
considerable size on the mainland of
Europe. is of historic note. For centu-
ries prior to the Christian era it had
been regarded as extinct; towns had
gathered about its feet or had run up
its slopes; vineyards and orchards of
pomegranate and fig had taken posses
sion of the rising approaches to its
base, and the fertile volcanic soil was
carpeted with flowers. A great earth
quake occurred in A. D. 63 and gave
warning of awakening energy, and in
10 a frightful eruption overwhelmed
the cities of Campanian plain, of which
Pompeii and Herculaneum were the
most important. Since the last date
named Vesuvius has been in a state of
intermittent and troubled activity A
disturbance was reported as late as
September 1898.
Kilauea, the chief OF the Hawaiian
volcanoes, presents the largest active
crater on the earth. the opening being
not less than three miles in circumfer-
ence. The central pit or Take of fire"

1t may be regarded as somewhat sig
nlncant that both Senator Beveridge,
VINO went to the Philippines on purpose
to study conditions there, and Presi-
dent Schurman of the insular commits
sion have refused to discuss the is
lands or the war since their return to
the United States. If things justified
the roseate hue that Otis cable dis
patches give them does any one imag-
inc that these eloquent representatives
of the administration would lose a mo-
ment's time in so informing perplexed
and doubtful public?

Of the lava and other conditions.
3. Those possessing steep cones,
which are composed OF rock matter in
a more or less finely divided state, con-
stituting what is known as volcanic
ashes and "cinders."
The difference in the shape of these
two types of cone is, therefore, seen to
be dependent upon the nature of the
elected material-the liquid lava we'll
ing forth from the crater and covering
a wide area before solidification is
complete. while the volcanic 'ashes"
and "cinders' rest where they fail
about the crater opening, and so build
IN a cone with steep sides. But there
are other differences between these two
types. Thus:
!. Volcanoes of the low cone. true
lava kind, are comparatively quiet IN
eruption, the subterranean heat pro-
ducing fusion of the rock, melting away
the floor of the crater (Which, perhaps,
had hardened since the last preceding
eruption) and permitting the lava to
rise until IL overfiowS. According TO
mode of eruption. volcanoes OF this KIND
may be described as the quiet type;
they are well illustrated by the voica-
noes of the Hawaiian islands.
volcanoes WIFI cictP NN-AN~
usually eruot with violence; the con-
duit is cleared by explosive elections;
masses of rock torn from the under
living formations are hurled to great
distances: finer rock matter in large
and immense volumes OF
steam and other vapors are belched
forth. while violent earthquake dis
turbances may precede and accompany
the eruptions Such volcanoes may be
described as of the explosive type; as
examples. the Javanese volcanoes may
be mentioned.
Between these extreme types there
are many intermediate varieties, emit
ting true lava as well as rock debris
and vapors. CT these the European vol
canoes in general are illustrative
The prime cause of this distinction
between the quiet and the explosive
types appears to depend largely upon
the kind of fusion to which the rock
matter is subjected. If the tempera--
ture be sufficient under the existing
conditions of pressure, etc, to melt the
rock after the manner of dry fusion.
true lava is produced and the eruption
is of the Enthusiastically quiet kind. /

with gold standard countries, should

silver monometallism.'
Yet, an authority of no less import
ance that Sir Robert Giffin, besides
admitting that the placing of India on
gold basis in 1898 reduced the curren-
cy value one-third, pointed out that 1T
acts as heavy export duty of about so
per cent on Indian goods in competition
with the products of silver-using coun-
tries, while at the same time acting as
an adverse duty of similar amount
There is a wide difference between
the facts, as investigators have dis
covered them in India, and the con-
clusions of the currency committee
which finds such favor with our di-
rector of the mint.

But a semblance of fusion may result
from much lower temperature in the

ter be associated. The resulting liqui-

The superstitions of the past found a
ready explanation for all kinds of VOL
canic activity by referring such to SUI
pernatural causes, or by ascribing the
same to the direct agency of mytho-
logical deities. One of the few volca-
noes mentioned in ancient literature is
Vulcano, a small representative of its
class, situated on one of the Lipari isles
in the Mediterranean. This deserves
passing notice, as its name has been
extended so as to cover all occurrences
of the sort. Vulcano is represented in
the myths of old as the workshop of
the god Vulcan, and the fiery elections
issuing from the mountain were taken
as proof of the deity's activity at forge
