LAVA TAKES MANY
YEARS TO COOL

Peasants on the slopes of Mount
Etna can still boil water over the
lava that flowed from the volcano
during the eruption of 1910. Lava. ac-
cording 10 Walter Woodburn Hyde of
the University of Pennsylvania, writ
ing in the Geographical Review, often
reaches a temperature of 1000 degs. F.
Even the ancient poets recorded the
tenacity with which lava retains its
heat, and Borelli, describing the great
eruption of 1869, says the lava took
eight years to cool. It is related that
steam was still rising in 1880 from lava
elected in 1877. And this is not aston
iShing when we remember that the
stream Of molten lava which reached
the sea at Catania on that occasion
was at least GOO yards in breadth, 40
feet deep and contained 1922 900 900
cubic feet. 1t banked up against the
walls Of Catania, which were 60 feet
high, until it flowed over the top and
destroyed a large part Of the city The
huge promontory that acts like a
breakwater to the harbor is the re-
mains of that stream Of lava that
flowed into the sea.

Prof Muensterberg went on to show
how easily this could be applied to figures
of three or more digits, and to relate that
his students after a few tries were able to
multiply such figures more rapidly than
when using the antiquated method with
which they had always been familiar.

Our way is:

'"That is, we should write the tens and

for a figure between them In this way
every figure in the product can be placed
just below the figures which have been
multiplied. The process resolves into the
following three steps:

EFFICIENCY APPLIED TO
MULTIPLICATION TABLE

A simpler and more rapid method Of
multiplication than that commonly taught
in the schools is urged in an article III
System, written by Prof. Hugo Muenster-
berg shortly before his death. The sys-
tenn now in universal use is that invented
by the Italians and first published in 147s.
Prof. Muensterberg asked if it could not
be improved, and suggested that the
method used by most mathematicians be
taught to school children. This method
is known as cross multiplication.
IF l have to multiply 80 by 81 he
wrote Il may well begin TO analyZe my
object. Thirty-two means there are three
tens and two ones. They are to be multi
piled by three tens and a one. | want to
find out by multiplication how many ones,
how many tens and how many hundreds
result Evidently we get the hundreds by
multiplying the tens by the tens. We get
the tens in the product by multiplying
the tens by the ones, and we get the ones
by multiplying the ones by the ones.
The case of the hundreds is very sim
pie. There were three tens in the first
figure and three tens in the second figure;
the product therefore is nine hundreds.
The case of the ones is also very simple.
There were two ones in the first figure
and one one in the second; the product
therefore is two.
But how can we get the tens? We
must multiply the tens by the ones. But
that is more complicated. because we
must take the tens of the first figure. null
tiplied by the ones of the second, and the
tens of the second figure multiplied by the
ones Of the first. That is to say, the tens
of the first figure. multiplied by the one
one of the second figure. and the three
| tens of the second figure, multiplied by
the two ones of the first figure.
| 1.-The first multiplication gives three, the
next gives six; or, together O. We have
! therefore nine tens. Hence the whole
product is nine hundreds, nine tens and
two ones. The ordinary way of writing It
| would be:
