Ths chronological experts are forever
groping In the dark in thsir quest for the
cause Of earthquakes and volcanic ePup-
tons. They reason correctly from false
premAsea. TAS truth about the Msssina
oaeaNtrophs % that it was caused by vol
canic disturbance. Any and every volcanic
disturbance h caused BY the water OF the
seas and oceans sosping into the earth ana
releasing latent heat: and every earthquake
n due 70 volcanic disturbances. IL d true.
however. that the volcanic disturbance may
not manifest itself A. such.
