Lyle A. Dickey thought it would be

urday by a rifle bullet fired by n member
Of the crew Of the French armored cruis-

with Lieut. England on the bridge, was
proceeding from the harbor to the target
range just outside, and was passing the
French squadron, which was anchored
near the American squadron and was
engaged in small-arms practice. The
Chattanooga. after several bullets had
struck the side of the ship, signaled TO
the Frenchman to cease firing. but before
this was accomplished, Lieut.. England
was struck i'm the back. at the base of
the spine. The bullet left his body under
the arm. The crew of the Dupettit
Thouars later continued their practice
from the deck of the cruiser their fire
being directed at targets in the water

landing men on barren island at the
entrance of the harbor The French

VOLCANIC ERuPrIoNs.
The Latest Scientific Theories About
Their Cause.

An interesting exposition of one of the
latest theories of the cause of volcanic
eruptlons is given by Maj c. e. button
of the United States army. a veteran
authority, in the current number of the
Popular Science Monthly. He SAYS:
Volcanic eruptions are caused, 1 con-
ceive, by development of heat resulting
from radio-activity in limited tracts at
a depth of from one to threat the very
utmost not over four-miles from the sur
face. which is sometimes sufficient to
melt the rocks affected by II. The melt
ing is gradual and when a sufficient GUAM
tity is melted the water, which 1t con-
tains, becomes explosive and usually suffi-
ces to break through the covering con-
shutting an eruption, When all the lava
is erupted and the reservoir Is exhausted,
It closes up for time. II the heat con-
tinues to be generated more lava is
melted and in due time another eruption
occurs. The process may be repeated
again. 1t may be repeated hundreds or
thousands of times. The volcanic action
may continue from the same place for
hundreds of thousands, or even millions
OF years, or IL may repeat itself only
Few times or may even occur only once
Indeed it may fail altogether to erupt to
the surface and In many cases does fail
In other words 1t goes through the entire
process of preparing for an eruption and
does not consummate IT,
SuDJtCt VI IdulO-dCIlNlIX Is Ne "
and so surprising that it has had tima
only to establish very few of the funda-
mental principles which lie at the basis
OF 1t. Undoubtedly the amount of radio
action varies somewhat widely In dIf-
ferent portions OF the earths interior in
some portions permitting a loss of heat
in others permitting a gain. And when
there is a gain II may proceed IN me
portions near the surface so far as 70
liquify the rocks and thus furnish All the
conditions necessary TO volcanic en,n-
tions. One OF the problems, at present
unsoived, is whence comes this radio
active material and what maintains its
activity? For the most part II gives ms
the characteristics of radlum ana in
smaller degrees those OF theorium and
uranium. The action OF actinium has
not yet been sufficiently pronounced 10
be recognized. Polonium Is believed Ia
| be one OF the transitional forms OF rad
ium. No other radio active substances
are yet known. The most important one
thus far Identified is radium. The parent
element from which II may be derived Is
not yet decided, but there are some who
suspect 1t to be uranium, which has i'm
mensely long life II requires nearly
i2O'OOOO00 years to be half consumed by
its own decay
