The dry process of generating acety-
lene is now used in the English army
for fiash-light signaling and other pur-
poses, and also industrially for the
welding Of iron and steel. The essen
tial feature of the process is the pro-
duction of the gas by mixing calcium
carbid with dry substance contain
ing oxygen and hydrogen. Ordinary
soda crystals are preferred for the pur-
pose. The attraction of the carbid for
hydrogen and hydrogen is so great
that it is able to withdraw them from
their union with other substances.
One Of the simplest methods, used to
genearte gas for signal-lamps, con-
sists only in shaking up the material

The mystery OF volcanoes is being

fore the activity wanes. This could be
explained by assuming that radium is
being generated at a depth of two or
three miles in each active crater, as
the heat from the breaking up Of the
emanation would accumulate until suf-
ficient to melt a portion Of the rocks,
and on the discharge OF the molten
mass through the action of steam OF
otherwise, the process would be re-
peated until the exhaustion Of the
