WHY ARE VOLCANOES.
New Theories Have Been Advanced
Since San Francisco Disaster.
(Philadelphia Inuircr.)


Japan's latest horror calls attention
to recent studies as to the origin and
nature of volcanoes. 1t cannot. be said
that much whic his definite has been
learned since the San Francisco disas-
ter, but new theories which work fair
ly we'll with observed phenomena have
been promulgated.
According to the latest theories the
Nebular Hypothesis of Laplace has
been set aside. Solar systems arise
from the contact or near contact of
lites being built up out of old material.
1t is now claimed that the earth is
neither a molten mass nor compressed
gas, but solid material of about the
weight of steel built up during a cata-
clysm unknown millions Of years az
that the sun is o composite of two
colliding suns: that the moon was ~
era portion of the earth, but was cap
tured by the latter, and that the great
spaces occupied by our seas are not
the result of material sloughed off nor
of mere cracking of the earth's sur
face, but h result of hard bumps
from other celectial bodies.
If these theories are correct, 1t in
wolves a restatement OF the principles
of seismology. 1t is held that the mol
ten lava in no case exists far below
the surface of the earth: that these
interior lakes are u result of the orig
inal sataclysm, and are relatively small
in content.
1t is true that a large portion Of the
earth's surface If affected by volca-
mic action and surface shifts, but it
is held that the results would be much
more serious if the whole interior of
the earth were molten.
Japan is notably the greatest scene
of volcanic activity in the world.
Earth tremblings are almost constant
and disasters have been many from
eruptions and tidal waves, but we are
assured there would be now no Japan
at all if it were not that the underly-
ing lakes of lava were comparatively
shallow. Things are never so bad but
what they might be worse.
