The distribution OF volcanoes is evidently
along great lines of upheavaI in the earth
and they and earthquakes are connected
with fractures which penetrate the crust.
Some force is, however, necessary to bring
the lava to the surface. II the part Of the
earth which is one side OF a great fracture

ing reservoirs to rise through the assures
and we are reminded OF the reports which
state hat the sea bottom has sunk on St.

force.
Others, however, lay emphasis on the
vast amount Of vapor held in the lava at
such high pressure and temperature that
II bursts with inconceivable violence and
ascends in columns miles high In the air

therefore trace the expulsion Of the lava

II we select an average rate OF about
sixty feet Of descent for an increase OF
one degree Fahrenheit and carry It out
for twenty-five miles, we reach a tempera-
ture Of 2,200 degrees, which is just about
that OF ordinary molten lava. Coupling
this with the facts known about volcanoes.
1t was natural for early observers to con-
clude that the interior OF the earth was
mplten and that mankind lived on a crust
twenty-five miles thick or more.
But the astronomers and mathematician
soon reminded the geologists that the earth
is a rapidly rotating body which is SUBJ
ject to the deforming effects Of centri-
fugal force and TO tho attractions OF the
moon and other heavenly bodies which are
believed to cause the oceanic tides. They
made the point that the earth behaves like
a body as rigid as steel. They therefore
rejected tie conception Of a fluid core as
impossible.

On the top Of the largest named (hrst az
a submarine vent and apparently in about
500 feet OF water) the young volcano built
up a great layer Of dust and fragments 500
feet thick, Throughout this material are
found marine shells. When the 500 feet
had been accumulated the vent had risen
above the water and was able to construct
the old crater known to the ancients. But
before human records begin the activity

From that time to the present II has been

In much the same way the cones and
Islands Of the Lesser Antilles must have
been reared. During periods OF activity
beds Of fine and coarse fragments OF vol
canic rock have gathered in great quantity.
