NEW SCIENCE DEVELOPED
 IN STUDY OF VOLCANOES

HONOLULU, T. H.. March 15.-I Volcano research, virtually the young est branch of the sciences, has al- ready saved many thousands of lives, according to a recent address by Pro lessor T. A. Jaggar, volcanologist of the Kilauea volcano observatory.
 The main object of volcano re search. said Professor dagger, is to en able observers to predict volcano erup- tions and earthquakes Although there is still much to learn, material pro gross has been made along this line, largely through experimental work at the Kilauea observatory, which is situated on the brink of Halemaumau pit
 Has anyone yet been saved?" the volcanologist asked Most certainly yes"
 At the West Indies and Agoshima. Japan, and right now in Guatamaia City, where destruction of the same kind a hundred and fifty years ago led to Improvements; where history ! has promoted earthquake education; where fresh disaster in 1902 kept fear fully alive the expectation; and now we learn that only a few hundred were left of population of 90,000.
 'So at Kagoshima, Japan; when Sakurajima erupted and the earth quake came, people moved and re- turned, and not more than fifty peo- pie were killed; contrast this with the Messina straits disaster in 1908, with i 100000 killed
 "The lessons of St, Pierre, Mont Pelee with it's rush of 'cauliflower' l clouds, it's dome of lava and lava i tower, all this mechanism marking ! danger; the discovery of moving earthquake rifts as at Nagoya, Japan; the statistics of recurrence, of time, of place, Of distribution, topography and i tidal control; the relationships be- 1 tween volcanoes and earthquakes; the marshalling of these facts according i to mathematics of chance, the making of continuous measurements of chang ing features as at Kilauea observatory the recognition Of all this is not geology but new science of geon- omy, earth law these lessons of nat ural disaster have created a new era In the study of the inner earth"
 Professor Jaggar in course of his i address said that among other things learned by the observers at Knauea is that lava is not liquid as was previ- ously supposed but is in reality hard, red hot body. The seeming liquid is a foam of burning gases and of glass melted by them. This oxidation heat is mostly near a surface and the deep heat is perhaps only moderate.
 The theory that volcanoes act as safety vents" making improbable earthquakes, was also denied by Pro. l lessor Jaggar. who said that on the contrary earthquakes are more to be expected in the vicinity of volcanoes than any where else.
