proof to be unaffected by molten lava.
Water would be forced by powerful
pumps through one OF the pipes. and
would come back through the other as

is power; IL would be employed for
running engines The engines would
operate dynamos, whereby the energy
would be converted into electricity.
which could be transmitted over wires
to any distance within 200 miles, for
operating factories, for running irriga-
tion pumps, or whatever other purposes
might be desired
Extraordinary though II means, this
method Of deriving heat from a vol
canO is deemed far from impracticable.
The core-driils required for the pur-
pose, IS inches in diameter Cthey could
be made much larger il desired) are
already in familiar use for making
borings through the hardest rocks-as,
for example. in providing for the found
ations OF tall buildings In New York
City; the basic structure OF the island
Of Manhattan being gneiss and granite.
It would be necessary TO fetch the
steam out OF the mountain in order
TO use IL. As experts explain the mat
ter, one or more chambers Of adequate
size cut out Of the living rock, far
inside Of the volcano, would serve 70
contain all requisite machinery. This
very method is today adopted in the
great copper mines Of Butte Colorado:
and in the wonderful mines Of the
Comstock system, in Nevada, huge me-
chanical plants. with steam engines
and dynamos, are housed nearly
quarter Of a mile below the level OF
the earth.
Interior Of a volcano.
To grasp the idea here set forth, one
should clearly understand the internal
anatomy Of a volcano. Take Lassen
Peak FOR avau1nle II one were able
to see through IL. and into the earth
beneath for an indefinite distance. on
would discover that the crater was
merely the opening OF a huge pipe
running vertically down into the core
Of the terrestrial planet. The noun
tain itself dixie any other volcano) is
simply an ashpile, composed of Gin
ders thrown out Of the vent IN past
ages
According to the reckoning Of the
biologists. the vertical pipe is about
"A miles long. At that depth beneath
the earth's crust II reaches the mass

That is what volcanoes are for. Our
earth once upon a time was little

crust has cooled. The cool crust is a
