ONE THEORY OF VOLCANOES.
English Scientist Publishes Book Con-
corning West Ind Ian Outbreaks.


corning West Ind Ian Outbreaks.
DIR Tempest Anderson, who investi-
gated the recent eruptions in the West
Indies along with DR. Flett on behalf
of the Royal society and who has pub-
Iished an interesting volume dealing
with volcanic phenomena at large, has
given very succinct account of the
actual cauSation of the outbreaks, ac-
cording TO the London Chronicle. Dis
carding French views, that electricity
is factor in the process. DIR. Ander-
son believes that a mass of molten
matter rises in the volcanic tube or
chimney which ends in the crater.
This mass is highly charged with wa
ter and gases, the liquid condition be-
ing maintained as result of the in
tense pressure. AS the molten matter
is forced toward the heart of the vol
eano the pressure is lessened. Then
as the water and gases expand they
explode into powder so much of the
mass, while pumice stone. described as
'solldifed froth.'' is also elected.
After the explosion the lava escapes
from the crater or forms a side open
ing below il. and flows down the
mountain slopes. A very important
observation is that in which DR.. An
derson remarks that the distances be-
TWEEN one eruption and another depend
on the relative proportions of these
various actions.

be heated at one time; tools such as
knives, saws and other things used

The illustration shows a rack for
hanging the carcass of an animal,
which should be on every farm where
butchering is done. 1t needs but little
description. A post eight or ten inches
through and five or six feet high is set
firmly in the ground, and cross-pieces,
two inches or more thick and eight feet
long spiked to the pole, in the positions
shown, so that they will project three
feet on either side. They are notched
near the ends as shown and braced I'M

much strength, for when the hogs are
hung on them they are easily cut.

Growing Early Potatoes.

4 rich deep sandy loan is best for
potatoes, but fresh strong manure
should not be used. as conditions are
created that are very favorable for the

thoroughly mixed with the soil.
With all potatoes, whether planted

The dog, sheep or calf used for motive
power is tied at one side, headed to-

walks, the wheel turns because of the
animals weight, and communicates
motion to the pulley or small friction
wheel beneath. There are no belts, no
cogs. The weight of the animal bears

causes it to revolve.
