 "This molten material varies in composition and upon it's nature the character of the eruption which oc- CUTS directly depends. Some lavas, such as those in the Hawaiian volca- noes, rise and flow out like water, consolidating after considerable pe- riod. Other fluids consolidate in the neck of the crater and the steam which is confined causes blowing out of the hardened rock in the neck, sometimes throwing ash and dust high in the air. Much of the ash falls back on the point of the upheaval and builds steep cone like that of Mt. Rainier. This peak is of the ex- plosive type, the lavas of which do not travel far. Those extending from the Aleutian islands through Canada, Washington, Oregon and California to Mexico are of approxi- mately the same origin and of the very late geological age."
 In explaining the earthquakes con- mon on the Pacific, Prof. West said that the West coast is comparatively young geologically and that the rocks are not yet entirely stable in posi- tion.

Making Them is . Very Delicate ana
 Complex Process.
 Almost xll the high explosives have cotton as their base. It is true that very good sporting powder can be made from wood pulp: but. as the ed flor of Nature remarks. "the artillerlst would be in great difficulty if he were provided with such propellant. be- cause in order to obtain any sort of regularity the nitration of the wood pulp has to be kept at low point. and ,the ballistics. on which the artillerist depends. would be, quite thrown out"
 High explosives are cellulose highly nitrated-that is. highly charged with nitrogen. This process consists of im- mersing cotton waste (that has been re peatedly teasled. picked and dried) in a mixture of nitric and sulphuric &C., Ms, in the proportion of 71 per cent sulphuric acid, 21 per cent nitric acid and 8 per cent water. After the acids have acted for the required time they are removed. The cotton Is washed repeatedly and boiled several times in water. It is then pulped. partly dried and pressed into molds.
 The manufacturer does his best to regulate his output, so that it shall con thin approximately eleven molecules of nitrate to the quadruple molecule of cellulose. as shown in the formula. or a content of nitrogen that ranges be- tween 12.93 and 13.O5 per cent
 The process is delicate and complex. for the proportions of acids and water must be exact and all must be chem ically pure. Besides this. the cellulose must be of uniform grade. which is a most difficult thing to obtain.

 India's population is 325.0OOOO0. Prac- tically all the races and religions of the world are represented. Ninety-eight and six-tenths per cent of the people cannot read or write. Four per cent of the inhabitants eat regular meals. The remainder eat when they can and where they can. The average native in India lives on less food per diem than any other human being in the world. Religious prejudices are in- tense. Men willingly die rather than submit to some dismembering sursrul operation, for did not Allah command them to appear before him as they left him to come into the world?

COAST VOLCANOES =
 ARE NOT EXTINCT

Post Intelligencer: Mounts Rain fer, Shasta, Hood, St. Helens, Adams and Baker may some time show signs of activity, although prediction of when this will occur or how violent it will be is impossible. Prof. c. B. Weaver of the geology department at the University of Washington. stated last night in the course of a public science lecture.
 Judging from the character of the lavas," he said, "any future activity in the mountains of the Coast will probably be accompanied by violent explosions and outpourings of vol canic ash and the emission of small amounts of lava, which will not go any great distance. The Coast vol canoes lie along great zone of weak ness or rupture, on the western mar gin of the North American conti- nent. Those of Alaska and Mexico are stll active, while those of Wash ington,. Oregon and California are quiescent, but not extinct"
 The formation of . volcano" he continued, "is the result of 2 ruptur- ing of the earth's surface and the out 3ouring of molten liquid rock through cracks and Assures. The generally accepted idea now is that the interior of the earth Is solid more rigid than \steel and that it is not a liquid mass. as is the popular supposition.

When You "Ses Stare"

The man who when struck violently on the head says he ''saw stars" is not fur from telling the truth. The fact is that there is a phosphorescent pow CT in the eye which does not attract a persons attention under ordinary con ditions, but which is distributed and reveals itself whenever the head gets sudden snock anu sometimes even iD the act of sneezing. A blow on the head results in q pressure of the blood vessels upon the retina, causing either total darkness or a faint blue light which floats before the eyes. and 1t is in this faint blue light the imagination discerns the thousands of fantastic forms and figures that by general ac- ceptance are termed stars; hence. while the astronomical display 30 ire quently mentioned may be said to be entirely a creature of the imagination. there is at least some foundation for the idea.

GUNS THAT HURL TON
 PROJECTILE Fl MILES

To get an idea of what kind of guns Germany is using in the pres ent war, it is sufficient to note the kind the United States government is now building.
 One of six guns authorized for the protection of the United States ports has just been completed. This gun from distance of 21 miles can shoot a 2400 pound projectile that will shatter the talrest building in the world which is o5 stories and 750 feet high. Such a gun, a 16-inch rife, is the biggest in the United States, and at a distance of three miles it will strike with an energy of 30,00O foot tons, enough to demolish the largest battleship.
 The length of this 16-inch breech loading rife is g inches short of 50 feet. It weighs 13O tons and it's car riage weighs 450 tons. The 2400 pound projectile discharged by that monster is nearly as tall as an aver age man, being 5 feet inches.
 With the exception of four 14-inch guns now being mounted on the Pa cific coast, the largest of the guns protecting the approaches to cities and harbors of the United States are of the 12-inch type. Great rifles of the kind described would form 8 de- fense against attack from the sea, if a sufficient number were mounted at strategic points, but even the larg- est coast guns must have the support of a navy and on land,a mobile army. There is a vast stretch of coast line that there are many gaps where an enemy might make a landing, unless prevented by navy or army and at some places, by capturing fort, the enemy would be able to turn the guns against other Notifications. Many of the existing defenses of the United States need to be modernized; the guns they carry are outranged by modern naval guns~ The coast de- fense system is seriously underman- ned at present. being short 564 off, cial reports.
 Germany has giant naval guns, now being used on land, which shoot 23 miles. In travelling that distance, the projectile goes up in the air nine miles, and 1t is possible to drop it within 200 feet of the point at which the gun is aimed.-Ex.

Murder is punished with a ine vary ing according to the importance of the slain. theft by fine of seven to one hundred times the value of the article stolen Here. again. the fine depends on the sociai importance of the person from whom the theft has been commit. ted. The harborer of thief is looked upon as a worse criminal than the thief himself. Ordeals by fire and by boiling water are still used as proofs of innocence or guilt. exactly as was the custom in Europe in the middle ages.

hear 8 great deal Of complaining from the business men of our little burg about the trade that goes out to the catalog houses. Is 1t any worse for the common herd to try and buy for the least money than for the merchant who depends wholly on local trade for his existence to take an order or send out to wholesale house for articles foreign to his busi- ness for himself or to accommodate a customer, when that line is being carried by a fellow merchant. or gives his work to some man that comes to town and claims to be the only me chanic that ever came over the pike and that he just refused a job before coming here of experimenting the war in the old country. rather than give the work to your local industry that is investing every dollar they get in tools and machinery so that they may be able to do your work right and reasonable? MT. Mer- chant, set the example you wish people to follow, no matter whether you sell coal, nails or pins. You say, "who gives you credit when you are broke, or your family Is sick?" say who does your work when the other fellow has passed on to the next town or can't do 1t for the lack of tools or machinery? And now, fellow citi- zens, while am about 1t, am going to unburden, my mind of a few more gems that have been agitating my mind ever since the fire. Have you ever stopped to think that were few good honest, deserving citizens who were benefit to the community who were put completely out of business to the detriment of Valdez. Does it pay you, MT.

Now, why not get together and stop wishing for rail. roads smelters and mines to come along and scatter their mazuma among us but get down to business and help our selves to what there is in sight and incident ally make ourselves of some use to our town, can we not get together and raise enough in this old burg to have sawmill and blaming mill go- ing by spring.
