Columns of Steam over Etna.


In connection with the terrific
cyclone which passed over Sicily a
few days ago it is reported that
throughout the day, when the storm
was at it's worst, Mount Etna sent up
thick column of steam from the
vicinity of the scene of the eruption
of 1892" This could hardly be due
to 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 inch. with the
barometer at thirty inches. A fall of
29-5 is, therefore, drop of one-six-
tieth, or reduction in the weight of
TIE atmosphere of one pound for every
four square inches. On a single
square mile this would amount tc
over one thousand million pounds or
rather less than 100000 tons. There
is good reason to believe that the out
rush of steam and gas from volcanoes
depends, as in coal mines, to large
extent on air pressure, and such a
fall in the weight over every square
mile of surface might conceivably pro-
duce large effects in the deep caverns
of Etna.-London Telegraph.
