numerous vent-pipes called volcanoes, which serve
in manner saety-valves when the great interior
furnace IS obliged to get rid of some of its super
fiuOus energy.
The gaseous mass Of the interior of the globe
contains all the elements which compose the crust.
On escaping to the cooler surface it differentiated
under varying conditions of pressure and temper
ature, into rocks metals and other substances.
This indeed, Is the way in which the crust of the
earth has been formed all known rocks being recog
1izable originally of igneous origin But of
course in order to make this conception clear, it
should be realized that the planet on which we
dwell was itself, once upon time a little sun, and
that after its surface had cooled and hardened
volcanic activity-that is say, the throwing up of
hot material from beneath the crust-must have
been incidentally more intense through long ages
than at the present time.
Now. when such an eruption occurs as that of
Mount PelGe, naturally regard 1t a vastly de
structivc phenomenon. 1t destroys much human
life and property, well a a great deal of vege-
taton. But in reality it IS constructive rather than
destructive adding it does largely to the earths
crust 1t brings up out of the bowels of the planet
immense quantities of materials, which thereby
added the skin thereof This in fact, is the very
process by which the skin of the globe has been
formed. The Island Of Martinique which this
friglItfu volcano IS located, Is nothing more nor
less than a surface ash-pie around chimney that
extends downward into the interior furnace, To
the eye OF the geologist 1t simply marks the
place where vents leading upward from the core
OF the earth opened ages ago in the bottom
two miles below the present summit Of Mount
Pelee.
Any volcano Is merely pipe extending from the
interior furnace the surface. where its opening
crater, is surrounded by ash-pile or heap
Of thrown-up material Ihe heap may assume the
dimensions of a great mountain, but it is the
less recognizable as IN ash-pile, and It's very size
gives vivid notion OF the enormou, quantity of
material elected and Of the titanic character of the
forces employed. The principal agents OF destruc-
ton during an eruption are fiery clouds (such
swept down upon the town of St Pierre, destroy
ing the whole population within a few seconds),
which consist of volumes Of hot gases and vapors
carving ncandescent ashes. 1t has been estimated
by Professor l. Z Russell that each OF the clouds

thrown out by Mount Pelee
during its period of greatest
activity was charged with forty
million cubic feet of solids;
and inasmuch as the phenome-
non was repeated every five
minutes, the total solids thus
thrown out must have been
equivalent to about one billion
five hundred and twenty mill
ion cubic feet a day-reprc-
sentlng a mass one square mile
in area and three hundred and
sixty feet deep.
The total amount of material
transferred from the earth's
interior to its outer crust dur
ing the recent eruptions of
Mount Pel6e must have been
equal in bulk to the whole of
the Island of Martinique-the
greater part of it being carried
in the shape of cinders and
gases to considerable distances
from the volcanic vent-hole,
and deposited eventually upon
the floor of the sea over
an area of thousands of square
miles. Having thus shown
what it can do when reused
to action, the volcano at times
ceases to erupt, its vents are
plugged with masses of lava,
and, with its lid" on. it
assumes an aspect of harm
lessness. But the appearance
is deceitful; for the real vol
cano within, banked up by its
own debris, is potentially as
active as ever. For thou
