Coon Butte Crater.

About the origin of most of the
Craters on the earths surface there is
little dispute. They are of all sizes.
We find them in the Sandwich Is
lands, with floors from three to
four square miles in area. These have
reminded Professor Pickering of no
thing less than the ring craters on the
moon. In Arizona, near Canon
Diablo, is crater-like depression A.
600 feet in diameter and 500 feet
deep. The rim can be seen from a
great distance. and, such rims being
called "buttes, this particular rim IS
known as Coon Butte. The irregular
contour of the rim is marked by brok-
en- rocks some as large as a house.
The outer slopes down to the plain
are covered with similar masses,
pieces of many tons weight having
been thrown thousands of feet away
from the crater. But there is no lava
about the butte, and this would seem
summary to dispose of the idea that
Coon Butte is the site of a volcano.
DR.. G.. *. Gilbert many years ago
suggested that the ring-shaped pits
on the moons surface were caused
by the impact of giant meteorites
and for some time he held the view
that Coon Butte must have been form
ed in a similar manner. This view
has of late been revived. Prof. Elinu
Thomson, in a letter to the American
Institute of Electrical Engineers, re-
down the outer slopes of the crater
are sent to all parts of the world as
meteoric iron. Mr.. Barringe has spent
considerable sums in exploration I'M
der the firm conviction that he will
find large amount of meteoric iron
below the surface. So far he has been
unsuccessful It is calculated that
600 bore holes, each costing about
400, will be necessary to make sure
of finding the meteoric mass, assum
ing it to have been 500 feet in dame
tel.
The mass of the meteorite is esti-
mated to have been at least five mil
lion tons. OF this the greater part
would be iron. but 8 per cent would
be nickel, and there would be three
million ounces of platino-iridiurn,
worth about 90 millions sterling sup
posing the price to remain as at pres
ent, between E Z and f8 per ounce. But
this is not ALL Assuming that there
is one-hundredth of l per cent of dia-
mond in the mass. one might count
on the extraction of about 500 tons of
diamond. Which may account for
prospectors regarding the expenditure
OF quarter of q million on bore
holes with some equanimity. Profess |
sor Thomson tells US that the Navajo |
Indians have d tradition that three |
large bodies fell from the sky on the |
site of the crater and killed a large
of their tribe. They still re-
pair to the crater for supplies of the |
" hite silica sand which they sprinkle |
around them at their ghost dances.-I

STROMBOLI AGAIN
Is. In ERUPTION
Village Of San Vincenzo Is Under
Ashes and Vineyards
Are DESTROYED.

Milan, Oct. 1s.-Stronboli Is again in
violent eruption. and no fewer than half
q dozen craters are belching forth flame
and white-hot cinders within a circuit
Of 100 yards.
Boiling water and huge molten rocks
arc being hurled into the air to an
enormous height from other apertures.
The whole Of the elevated region Of the
island 10 buried under ashes to q depth
Of from SIX to eight feet. The streets
and. roofs Of the housea in the village Of
San Vincenzo are covered with about
fifteen to twenty inches Of hne volcanic
dust, and Fraslioni Is smothered three
feet deep with sand and small glass-like
stones.
Terrible distress prevails among the
population. whose sole means Of liveli-
hood are the vast vineyards, which are
now mostly overwhelmed and devoufed
by hailstones Of fire.
Some idea of the force Of the eruption
may be gathered from the circumstance
that on q vineyard situated q mile away
the active craters not only Uttered ashes
but vomited powders measuring more
than two cubic yards. many Of which
penetrated deeply into the soil.
