The dimensions of the Adder and the
other submarine boats being constructed
for the government are: Length over all,
63 feet inches; diameter, IL feet inches;
displacement submerged, 100 tons. The
boats must have a surface speed of eight
knots an hour when in light condition,
seven knots an hour when in the awash
condition and seven knots an hour when
running completely submerged. The Adder
carries five torpedoes and her radius of &C
ton is 400 miles.
Strollers along the river wharves yester-
day and today were attracted to the cigar
shaped craft. Capt. F. T. Gable and crew
of six picked men who have had experience
in the handling of submarine boats are in
charge of the Adder. Captain Cable made
100 dives on the Holland and 200 on the
Fulton. which met with an accident on her
way to this port few weeks ago.

Much interest is manifested in naval cir

marine torpedo boat Adder which will be

Peconic Bay, New York. 1t Is the purpose
OF the Holland company of having the
trials made in the Potomac river. 1t is
understood that they will be under the
supervision of the board of inspection and
survey of the Navy Department.

VOLCANIC PHENOMENA.
Heat at Depth Of Thirty Miles Melts
Stone.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The calamity which has just overtaken
two islands of the Windward group in the
Antilles will unquestionably- lead to fresh
discussion of the causes Of volcanic disturb
ance. All of the phenomena involved there
in are not yet fully understood, and con-
corning some of them there are perceptible
differences of opinion among experts. On at
least one point, however, there is general
agreement. At a depth Of about thirty
miles the internal heat of the earth is
probably great enough to melt every known
substance. Confinement may keep in
rigid condition the material which lies be-
meath the solid crust, but If an avenue Of
escape is once opened the stuff would soften
and ooze upward. There Is growing ten
dency, moreover, to recognize the impor-
lance Of gravitation in producing eruptions.
The weight of several miles Of rock Is al
most inconceivable, and 1t certainly ought
to compel potentially plastic matter to
rise through any crevice that might be
other authorities regard this as the chief
mechanical agent in an eruption, at least
when there is a considerable outpouring of
lava.
Leakage From Sea.
AS to the extent to which water operates
there is some lack Of harmony among vul-
canists. Shaler, Milne and others hold that
SuDSldllCc Idt SSlyp IL iiOt CAthC ASoPOuSh-
BILE for the trouble. They point to the fact
that many volcanoes are situated near the
coast Of continents or on islands, where
leakage from the ocean may possibly occur
Russell. on the other hand, regards water
not as the initial factor, but as an occa-
sional, though important, reinforcement
He suspects that when the molten rock has
risen to a considerable distance it encoun-
tiers that fluid, perhaps in a succession Of
pockets, and that steam Is then suddenly
generated The explosive effects which en-
sue are of two kinds.
By the expansion of the moisture which
some of the lava contains the latter is re-
duced to state OF powder. and thus origi-
nate the enormous clouds Of fine dust which
are elected. Shocks Of greater or less vio-
lence are also produced. The less severe
ones no doubt sound like the discharge OF
artillery and give rise to tremors in the i'm
mediate vicinity. In extreme cases enough
force is developed to rend the walls of the
volcano itself. Russell attributes the blow
ing up of Krakatoa to steam. The cuImi-
mating episode of the Pelee eruption last
week, though not resulting SO disastrouSly
to the mountain. would seem to be due to
the same immediate cause. To this partc-
ular explosion, too, 1t seems safe to assign
the upheaval which excited tidal wave
Cracks in Earth's Crust.
The precise manner In which the plastic

Nevertheless 1t is possible to get some light

THEORY AS TO VOLCANOES.
Professor Sha1er Of Harvard Offers q
Scientific Explanation.


A dispatch to the New York World from
Cambridge, Mass, says: N. s. Shaler, pro-
lessor of geology In Harvard University,
and one Of the most eminent biologists In
the country, in his lectures to his class,
gave the following as his theory of vol
canoes:
volcanic outbreaks are merely the ex-
plosion Of steam under high pressure; steam
which is bound In rocks buried underneath
the surface Of the earth and there subject
ed to such tremendous heat that when the
conditions are right its pent-up energy
breaks forth, and 1t skaters its stone prison
walls into dust.
1.-THE process by which the water becomes
buried In this manner Is a long one. Some
contend that 1t leaks down from the surface
Of the earth Through assures in the outer
crust, but this theory is not generally ac-
cepted. &c.,
1.-THE common belief is that water enters
the rocks during the capitalization period.
and that these rocks. through the natural
posted In the bottom of the ocean Here
they lay for many ages. becoming buried
deeper and deeper under the masses of like
sediment which are constantly being wash
ed down upon them from above. This pro-
cess Is called the blanketing process
What "Blanketing'' Means.
Each additional layer Of sediment, while
not raising the level of the sea bottom.
buries the first layers just 30 much deeper
and adds to their temperature. Just as does
the laying Of extra blankets on q bed
when the nrst layer has reached depth

tain the water Of Capitalization are sub

Ships and Cats.

Sailors are noted for their strange
pets gathered in all corners of the
world, but Of all the animals they love
the cat holds foremost place In Jacks
affections. A ships forecastle Is about
the last place on earth one would think
Of as a home and abiding place for
pussy, for 1t is subject at all times to
the rude invasion Of the waves, never
hos a fire in 1t and Is a gloomy place
such as cats detest.
There Is no dainty cats meat or sau-
Ger Of rich cream, and yet strange to
say, the sailors cat always remains
superior to the advantages offered by
the steward or the Establishments Of
the captain. Cats have remained stead.
lily faithful to the forecastle of an
English ship during a long Indian or
colonial voyage.
Usually the forecastle cats find a
snug berth in some especial bunk,
which they consider theirs by right.
Only once or twice has a sailor ever
been known to be cruel to the ships
cat, and when 1t was found out the
miscreant had an unhappy time of 1t.

Mahanoy City, Pa, Nov. 24.--The
most destructive dynamiting outrage
that has occurred in the coal regions
since the strike began was perpe-
trated here at five o'clock yesterday
morning. The dynamite, with fuse
attached, was placed on the bar Of
the saloon Of Christopher Portland.
The front part of the building was
blown across the street and the ad-
joining buildings on either side were
badly wrecked. Windows were
broken in every house in the square.
Portland and the other members of
the family were sleeping on the third
floor and escaped without serious
injury, although all were thrown
from their beds. Portland's two sons
were non-union men and worked dur
ing the strike.

THE ANTHRACITE STRIKE.
Independent Companies Want to Know
How They VIII stand n the Dispute 10
Settled without Arbitration.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 24.-The posi-
ton to be taken by the independent
coal operators with regard to the
tentative agreement between the
large coal companies and the mine
workers to settle their dispute out
side the anthracite coal strike com
mission, but with the conciliatory
assistance Of the arbitrators, has not
yet been definitely decided, upon.
The Independents held a meeting Sat-
urday night, at which were present
the representatives Of about 20 COM
panies, and a committee Of nine was
appointed to 60 to New York on
Tuesday for the purpose Of meeting
the presidents of the coal-carrying
railroads and learn from them what
the independent companies are to ex-
pect providing they agree to go along
and adjust the labor dispute without
arbitration.
There has as yet been no definite
time set for the holding of confer
ences between the representatives Of
the large companies and the mine
workers. Attorneys and other per-
sons representing the big companies
have gone to New York and Philadel-
phia for instructions and authority
to act. Nothing will be done here
until they return clothed with the
power to negotiate settlement.
