 Tn such phenomena as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and geysers lie the key to the hitherto hidden secrets of the globe.

 The vastness and intensity of the molten mass which spits the vapors of this terrifying valley is indicated by the discovery of new high tenn peratures among the fumaroles. Early parties were not equipped to measure the unexpected heat of some of the fumaroles.

THE STRIKE.

Developments in the steel strike ing to allow one to judge what the outcome of the affair is to be. There is no sign of abating the stand by either union heads or corporation policy which was outlined last week. If anything, there seems to be more widespread unionization of the indus- try than had at first been allowed by the corporation men, but they have not made any change in their plans because of this. They are evidently quite prepared to close down for in- definite periods, if forced to.
 Rioting, of any consequence, is still lacking as a feature of the strike. We have a few instances of the dispersal of mobs by policemen, with the half hearted attempts to resist this dis persal, but the trouble here has not yet amounted to much. The gather ings were in violation of the orders of the union heads who seem to be satis- fled that they will gain nothing by force, and possibly fear that "mob psychology" may sweep away any gathering, with the ultimate result that blood will be shed and that the public at large will have an indictment against the men who brought on the trouble. Irresponsible gatherings of men must be kept from the streets, must be restrained from giving away to a spirit of destruction which often arises among a group of men, and the police have the duty of keeping down the crowds. They will come in for d great deal of censure from extremists about the country for the restraint of free speech,' but they have the force of public opinion and also of the heads of the union back of them Nothing can be gained by force and the best way to guard against the pos- sible use of force is to break up large gatherings which appear to be swayed by agitators.
