was one student who always walked
with his coat collar turned up. He was
found frozen dead one morning. He

found, a French student would rather

Houses In Siam.

In Caspar Whitney's book "Jungle
Trails and Jungle Peoples" he says:
THE Siamese builds his house Of one
story and on stills for several reasons.
The first, no doubt, is to avoid the un-
pardonable sin Of living in a lower
story while an upper one is occupied
by other human beings. especially wo-
men. who in Siam are not regarded as
Of much Importance. The second, and
I should say the most practical. If not
the most aesthetic. reason is to have
a waste gate easy Of access for the con-
unually flowing saliva from betel nut
chewing and household refuse. which
may thus be easily disposed Of through
the crevices Of the openly constructed
floor"

Indianapolis. Nov. 22-There is
some talk that special session of the
legislature will have to be called by
Governor Marshall to deal with the
situation brought about by the decis-
ion of the supreme court that the
three-mile gravel road law is uncon-
stitutional. Just how the governor
feels on this matter is not known yet,
but there are many persons who are
Of the opinion that such action will
be necessary to save numerous coun-
ties and individuals from great finan.
cial trouble.
It is estimated that there are $685.
ing that have been issued in the state
for building such roads under the in
valid law. Unless there is some kind
of legislative action validating these
bonds the holders of them will lose
every dollar they have invested.
Many Half Completed.
Not only that, but there are in
many counties roads that are half
completed. Under this decision there
is no law authorizing their construc-
ton, and work has stopped and will
remain at a standstill until the legisla-
ture does something for their relief.
This means tremendous inconvenience
to the people along those roads and
it will also mean a very heavy loss to
the contractors. who cannot collect
for what work they have done.
The legislature could come together
and pass a law that would meet the
requirements of the supreme court de-
cision and which would also validate
the contracts made under the old law
and the expenditures made under
them. 1t could also validate the
bonds which have been issued.
No one knows whether the legisla-
ture will be called in special session
or not and nothing has been learned
from the governors office about the
matter. but there are many who be-
lieve that it will come to this before
long.

VOLCANIC ACTIVITY.

4 Theory to Explain the Source AID
Cause OF Eruptions.
In a volume on volcanoes Professor
C. Doelter undertakes to tell why vol
canoes have eruptions. Melted rock
such as Is flung from Vesuvius requires
a temperature Of 1000 degrees Fahren-
heit, 50 that it becomes liquid only far
down in the earth. perhaps sixty or a
hundred miles. Below the outer crust
Of cooled and solidified rocks there
must be a large zone Of rock which still
remains solid because it's temperature
is less than that Of the melting point
corresponding to the pressure under
which It rests, and below that again
there must be rock or magma in a
state Of fusion. 1t is to this magma
that Professor Doelter looks for the
primary source Of all volcanic activity.
At the same time the depth at which
this primary reservoir Of magma lies
and the pressure under which it is con-
fined are so great that a direct eruption
from it Is Uncomfortable. but when. by
movements in the everything crust or
otherwise, a channel is opened the
magma may rise to a depth where it Is
surrounded by rock at a lower temper
ature than the melting point. In these
circumstances solidification begins.
From all volcanoes large quantities
Of steam, Of carbonic acid and other
gases are evolved, and the course of
every lava stream is marked by clouds
Of steam evolved from the cooling lava.
At one time-and the idea is still com
mon-this steam was supposed to have
been derived from sea water which
had obtained access to the molten lava
while still underground, but this ex-
PLANTATION 1s now generally rejected, be-
ing impossible in some cases and mad
equate in all, and the greater part Of
the steam and other emanations from
4 volcano are now regarded as directly
derived from an original store in the
interior Of the earth. However this
may be, it is certain that the magma
from which volcanic lava is derived ID
not merely in state Of igneous fusion,
but is combined with water and gases,
which are given off as it solidifies and
by their escape frequently form NINA
streams.
If the qualification takes place I'M

ance of the everything rock and SO lead
to an eruption and the formation Of a
volcano, whose character will depend
on the nature Of the reservoir from
which the eruption took place.
