derneath is belched forth a great quantity
of what is called suIphuretted hydrogen. The
decomposition of this gas leads to the depo-
sition Of yellow crust OF sulphur about
the orifces of the volcano. Here, then, is
a great source OF supply for another neces-
sary article. Great stores OF sulphur lie
idle and neglected, ready to be harvested,
at the mouths OF the many volcanoes all
over the world.
Besides sulphur, there are several chic
rides particularly that OF sodium, and, less
abundantly, those Of iron. copper and

Some Iavas, especially at Artua and We
suvius, are rich in silica, pumice, etc. In
addition to these have been found hidden
in the lava beds many other chemicals
and acids with which the layman is not
familiar, but which are Of great value TO
the scientist, experimenter and inventor.
Scientists. however, are not to be salts
fed by merely procuring concrete sub
stances from these volcanoes. They can
see no reason why all the gases which
are sent forth into the air should go to
waste in this way. It costs lot OF money
TO make the different gases, and why,
scientists are now asking, should this eK-

ments to that end are going on apace. At
the solpatara volcano, in Pozzuoli, Italy.
for instance, volcanologists have been busy
for some time collecting gases and analyz-
ing them. The extraction Of the gases is
made in a manner similar to getting water
by the artesian methods.
At first, these gases were collected and
examined and experimental with simply
for the purpose Of procuring further gen.
eral information about volcanoes and their
activities. but the present trend toward
thrift and economy. to say nothing of war
time exigencies, has centered the energies
OF men of science and commerce toward
the practical exploitation of these vast
quantities Of gases
Yet another step that may develop the
volcano into a blessing rather than a use
less and often a harmful thing, has also
been taken by scientists. 1t may seem
rather visionary at first to the mind I'M
trained in scientific matters, but the time
will come when it will be an accomplished
fact. That is, the Harvesting of the energy
expended by the eruption OF volcanoes and
the earthquakes that frequently follow
these eruptions.

THE pressure Of the demands Of war
has turned the eyes Of science to
= natures great laboratories, the vol
canoes. In these seething masses poured
forth from the bowels of the earth might be
found, perhaps, stores of minerals and
chemicals within easy reach. And since
nature works on such a gigantic scale. sci
ence knows that whatever is found would
be available in wholesale quantities
To the average person-in fact, to most
PERSONS volcano is one Of the best
things on earth to stay away from. No
body has ever figured that they are good
for anything except to, take pictures Of,
although some Of the more daring tourists
have thought it smart to look one in the
eye when 1t was asleep and then write
home about it. On the whole, the volcano,
ominously terrible as it is. has been classed
generally with the blood-sweating behe-
moth-merely an object Of curiosity, a
thing to be looked at respectfully at a rea-
sonable distance and then gone away from.
For long time, however, inquisitive and
intrepid scientists have been carrying on
Investigations of the different volcanoes
in the belief that the immense, almost IN
believable, amount of matter belched up by
them from the hidden recesses Of the earth
must be Of some value, chemical or other
wise.
And now, at this opportune moment
comes Professor Henry S. Washington, Of
the physical laboratory Of the Carnegie
Institution of Washington, with the author
itative statement that it has at last been
found that the matter expelled by these
volcanoes is Of inestimable value to man
kind. Thus have scientists added one more
accomplishment to those Of the Harvesting
of Niagara, the rays of the sun and the
energy Of the tides.
To begin with, Professor Washington
points out that from certain volcanic lavas
it is possible to obtain potash. According
10 him. the igneous rocks Of the eaTth's
crust contain, on an average, about per
cent of potash, some Of them running even
as high as 10 per cent.
This announcement Of Professor Wash
.1Etons is Of more importance than might
occur at first to the casual reader. In the
first place, We can't get along without
potash any more than we can get along
without salt or water. II is absolutely
rssential to plant life and, Of course, with.
out plant life We would succumb. Wild
uncultivated plant life gets sufficient pot
ash for its existence from the ground,
good deal of which is furnished by granite
rocks, yielded by the rocks as one of the
products of their distintegration. But the
human race depends directly or indirectly
on cultivated plant life and in the nurture.
of this plant life far more potash is neces-
sary than the amount naturally yielded by
the earth. Consequently, we must get i'm
mense quantities of potash somewhere.

sections, where volcanoes are being har-
messed for utilization of their power,
earthquake horsepower is as readily com
puted as the waterpower of a fall or
stream.
This principle Of measurement Of re-
leased energy could not be applied to the
Kstmai cataclysm. The explosion was so
bulky that there are no figures or terms
comprehensive by the human mind in
which the force of the explosion could be
expressed. An earthquake that was meas

How the Necessi-
ties of the War
Have Turned
Scientists to a
Practical Study

For many years the worlds supply Of pot
ash came chiefly from the teaching of wood
ashes; that is. from their washing BY
means of percolAting water. To-day some
potash still comes from that source, but
more Il derived from the refuse left after
beet-sugar making, from sleeps wool and
from the great natural deposits Of potas-
stun salts near stassfurt in Prussia.
Because Of war conditions all Of these
sources have become either impaired or
entirely eliminated, and the nations sup
ply Of potash is rapidly dwindling In the
light Of these facts, the finding Of immense
quantities Of easily obtained potash can be
seen in its full value and Importance. 1t
means that before long the serious short
age in potash viii be over. It means, fur
Their, according to Professor Washington,
that ultimately the world will depend in
great part for its supply Of potash from this
source. The professor states that It is
reasonable to suppose that the Italian vol
canoes alone contain at least some 10000
100000 tons Of potash, and to that is to be
added the supply from volcanoes the world
over
This supply would be inexhaustible, for
before hardly dent could be made in it
still more would be belched up by a vol
cauo here or there.
But the discovery OF potash In volcanic
eXcretions Is but the beginning OF the
scientists activities. At Mount Ratmai,
in Alaska, interesting investigations are
proceeding. This volcano became suddenly
eruptive June s, 1912, continued in a state
OF colossal activity for about three DAYS,
and remained somewhat active for months.
To-day 1t is still sending forth vast clouds
Of steam. Although the eruption produced

kan mountains for a space Of thousands
OF square miles around Mount Katmai, its
effect at certain distances was surprising

which is about 100 miles from the vol
cano, the eruption proved a blessing. The
island was covered with a deposit OF ash

Wild Peace RunlOrs arad Foolish Talk Of Peace at This Time Hurt Liberty

there will be no peace with Germany until we have broken her down by hard fighting, prob ably July or August of next year. Peace, of course, is possible at any time from sudden German upheaval at home or disaster in the field but these are remote eventualities. All this turmoil and talk and sensation about peace Is playing right into Germany's hand; it IS just what she expected and sought when she started her peace drive so early. Every neutral European capital seethes with wild, foolish and unconfrmed rumors of what Ger many will do. Many sent out with malice aforethought by the Hun himself
 The resistence of German soldiers We'd nesday to allied onslaughts was as fierce and determined as ever. Germany will take To. of beating yet before she gets in the proper frame of mind for peace and before she ought to have peace. It is time to talk peace when our armies cross the Rhine, and it Is not be- ieved in official and well informed and really patriotic circles of the allied nations that peace will be considered until that time

 Last night, the Franco-Belgians in- fantry were on the general line of BOscheeweter, Edenwalle, Zwcartegal and Haentze, thence to a point 1000 yards east of the Thourout-Roulers road, and to the Wynendael station by Beve to the south of Iseghem, the Lendelede station, Hulote and BaviR- chove to Harlebecke
 This morning the capture of BOs- cheeweter and Edenwalle seemed to have been confirmed, and French troops were reported to be along the railway west of Lichtervelde Ingei- munster apparently has been occupied, and the COurtrai railway reached east of Cappelle Ste Catherine.
 The British were reported to be across the Lys east of Confines. with their posts established beyond Labas- serville.
 Yesterday the Germans attacked from Iseghem and forced the Belgian line back to Boschmolens. but a coun- ter attack drove them to and beyond their starting point. Prisoners and guns continue to be gathered in. but there has been no time to count the latest captures.
 Between Lens and Armentieres the Germans continue to fall back and the British are drawing near Lille. During the night they crossed the Haute Deule canal. 20O0 yards east of Port A-Vendin. and threw out a screen of strong patrols which have maintained harassing touch with the enemy. The British are reported to be holding Pont-Sault, Posse 2, PrOvin and San tes-Lez. Haubourdin. and today were pushing towards AnnOcullin. Hanvar- dry Chateau is in the possession of the British.

WASHINGTON, Oct 16.-With the Berlin n-Constantinople railroad cut by allied occupation of Nish, Germany is relying upon it's Black sea fleet to hold Turkey in line. Information has been received at the state department that the Turkish government has been told by Berlin that the fleet will open fire on the Ottoman capital at the first sign of defecticn.
 This German fleet consists largely of warships captured from the Rus sians, but is believed here to be strong enough to control, for the present at least, the Turkish government It was pointed out today that with the Bri- tish forces rapidly clearing Palestine and Mesopotamia of Turkish control.

 Officials do not expect that big rate to appear in official reports. at least until Saturday They believe a billion or more will be counted up after the campaign has closed Saturday night from the flood of last minute subscTip- tiOns.
