TOWNS BUILT ON cRATERs.
Earth eirdled by Three Hundred Ac
tive Volcanoes.

tive volcanoes.
Some of the wonders Of the yolca
mic world were graphically described
In lecture at the London Institu
ton yesterday by Mr.. w. Herbert
Garrison, +. r. G. S., who has climbed
volcanoes in all parts of the world.
The greatest noise on record" he
said, was made by the eruption OF
Krakatoa. in the Straits of Sunda
between lava and Sumatra, in 1885,
Here are few striking facts abou,
the eruption that Mr.. Garrison men
toned:
1t caused cloud seventeen miles
high
1t was heard three thousand miles
away.
If 1t had taken place in Cornwall
ut could have been heard in New
York. opstantinople, st. Petersburg
Carlo and Greenland
The velocity of the explosion was
three times that of an Armstrong
gun. aa
1t raised tidal waves one hundred
feet high that invaded the land for
five miles.
1t created dust finer than any rock
can be ground by man.
This dust was carried round thc
earth for three years in the air.
1t caused air waves that encircled
tho earth seven times.
II broke windows seven miles dis.
tant.
The volcanoes OF the world form
belt of fire. round the earth. and
arc rarely more than three hundred
miles from the sea. In the few eX-
ceptions to this rule the volcanoes arc
near large sheets of inland water.
This tends to prove that the proximity
of water Is one of the main factors
in the cause of eruptions. and that 1t
is the percolation of water through
the earth's surface that leads to vol
canic activity.
Mr.. Garrison explained what he
meant by the "belt of fire." by show
ing large map of tho Pacific Ocean.
on which the volcanic centres were
marked, forming Il rough circle, be.
ginning in South America and follow.
ing the coast line to Alaska. then
round by Kamchatka, Japan. and the
Sunda Straits to New Zealand. I'm
the centre of the circle lies the great.
est crater in the world in the Ha.
waiian Islands, which is nine miles
wide.
In this belt of fire" are three hun.
dred active volcanoes, which, said
Mr., Garrison, is n very small nun.
Der compared with the number once
active. the quescent or extinct volca.
noes numbering tens of thousands.
Among the towns built on old crat.
ers Mr.. Garrison mentioned Edin.
burgh. (Arthur's Seat being the re-
mains of volcanic ring), Keswick
Alden, Candy and Auckland.
Brentor, in Devonshire. was at one
time, probably within historic times,
as high as Etna. and Etna is calcu.
Lated to have thrown out one tbou.
sand cubic miles of material in his.
toric times
Among many remarkable photo.
graphs shown was one of boiling
lake In an icebound crater, nearlv
nine thousand feet above sea level IN,
