out into the AtiHhtfc ocean toward the
coast of, Venezuela, you will see why
British dominicns are larger by two
and half acres than they were before
Saturday, Nov. 4.
On that date an island of the volcanic
type not uncommon in southern
waters, thrust itself above the sea. with
characteristic rumble. kissing Of gases
and flashes of fire, greatly to the alarm
OF the people on the Trinidad shore,
The new island has not yet been
named, and as It's composition is large
~ oozy blue mud or clay, it is doubt
full if it will Withstand the attacks of
the sea. Any day it is apt to disappear
whence it came and Great Britain will
have lost its newest possession. The
enterprising governor of Trinidad Wis
tied the island with a party of officials
shortly after it made its appearance,
ready to plant the Union Jack on the
warm oozy soil: but measurements
showed that the island was within the
three-mile limit and planting the flag
was unnecessary.
Gable dispatches have told briefly Of
the islands birth, but there is much
that is interesting about the phenorn-
enon that is known only to those resi-
dents of points along the Trinidad coast
who either witnessed the occurrence or
cautiously visited the new land before
1t had had time to cool.
DIR. F'redholm, a resident Of Trinidad.
says that the island was probably
thrust up by the pressure of gas origin
ating from the decomposition Of car
bonaccous matter found in connection
with asphalt deposits for which Trini-
did is famous. He predicts that flow
cif asphalt may follow and an asphalt
lake may make its appearance on the
island
"If no flow of asphalt follows how
ever" he says. "the only result of the
upheaval will be mud volcano so
common along the southern shore.
Such a volcano on bank raised but
slightly above the sea level would prob
ably not remain above the surface very
long, for the debris would soon be
washed away and the vents, once below
water, would become choked by sedi-
mentary deposits. 1t would therefore

dropped into the sea again as quickly
as it emerged"
