Columns Of Steam Over Etrz-

In connection with the terrific
cyclone which passed over Sicily a
few days ago IL is reported that
throughout the day. when the storm
was at it's worst. Mount Etna sent up
a thick column Of steam from the
vicinity OF the scene Of the eruption
Of 1892 This could hardly be due
10 the tOrrential rains that fell. be-
cause most likely the crater was above
the cloud level in such a storm. More
probably the issue Of steam and other
gases may be ascribed TO the diminu-
ton Of atmospheric pressure. Ordi-
nary air pressure is about fifteen
pounds per square irch. with the
barometer at thirty inches. A fan Of
29-5 is. therefore, a drop OF one-six-
tieth. or a reduction in the weight Of
th.s atmosphere OF one pound for every
four square inches. On a single
square mile this would amount TO
over one thousand million pounds. OF
rather less than 100000 tons. There
is good reason 10 believe that the out
rush Of steam and gas from volcanoes
depends, as I'm coal mines. to a large
extent on air pressure, and such a
fan in the weight over even. square
mile Of surface might conceivabIy pro
duce large effects in the deep caverns
