To Have volcanic Disturbances in Ken.
lucky.

If the reports of decidedly VOL
canic disturbances in the noun
tain section of Rowan county are
true, says the Courier-J Journal,
the condition is an enigma to To-
cal scientists and biologists, all
of whom agree that the geologi-
cal formations of that section are
not conducive to volcanic condi-
tions. Prof. E. H. Mark, super
intendent of the CITY schools,
who is both a scientist and geol-
ogist, says he cannot account for
the phenomenon, if it really ex-
lists, unless a coal bed underlies
Sugar Loaf Hill, where, the re-
ports say, smoke can be seen is
suing from assures on tie noun
tain side.
''If bed of coal underlies the
mountain" said Prof. Mark,
"under certain conditions the
phenomenon is possible. If by
reason of the assures oxygen
could reach the buried carbon,
certain chemical conditions caus-
ed to exist by the contact of the
oxygen and the minerals in the
earth could cause the vapor to be
thrown off,"
Asked if there was any danger
of troublesome volcanic condi-
tions, Prof. Mark said he thought
there was not, as the geological
formations in that section are
not of the description that cause
such disturbances.
Prof. r. p. Halleck says he
does not believe the stories are
true, and if they are he will not
attempt to explain the cause.
He said he is not familiar with
the geology of that section, and
would not give an opinion on the
subject.
81 take little stock in the
stories," said Prof. Halleck,
"and do not think it possible for
such a condition to exist. The
reports mention certain assures
in the mountain side, but do not
say they are Of recent formation,
and if they were formed prior to
this, | never heard Of them. 1t
seems as if so unusual a thing as
a number of assures forming in
mountain side had occurred it
would have been heard of, espec-
tally as such things are formed
by seismic disturbance of more
or less violence, which has no.
been experienced in Kentucky,
at least in recent years"
