About XOIcnnOea.

Few persons have any idea of the
prodigious quantity of lava and hot
ashes which a volcano in state of
eruption can vomit in a few hours.
The matter which was discharged in
1869 from Mount Etna and which
threatened to overwhelm Catania forms
a mass the extent of which has been
estimated as being not less than 1,000,-
100000 cubic yards.
From the immense crater of Kilauea,
in Hawaii there was vomited in 1910
during single eruption mass of lava
equivalent to fifty times the volume of
earth which 1t was necessary to remove
In order to form the Suez canal.
In 1878 the Skaptar-Jokull, one of the
most redoubtable volcanoes in Iceland,
sent forth two rivers of fire, one of
which ran along a valley for eighty
miles, Its depth along the entire dis
lance being thirty yards. Finally, it is
estimated that from the mass of stones
and ashes which were discharged in
1888 from Krakatoa could be formed a
mountain higher and wider than Mont
Blanc.
