WHAT VOLCANOES MEAN TO HUMAN
 RACE DESCRIBED

WASHINGTON, D. C., February D. How much volcanos mean in the lives of all human beings, even though they have never been within sight or hear ing of one is told in new volume just issued by the National Geograph- ic Society. The publication is the first complete summary of the findings of six expeditions sent to the region of Mt. Katmai and the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, in Alaska, by the Washington society, and the results of several years careful study of ob- servations made by the expedition.
 The book, "The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes" was written by Dr. Robert F. Griggs, of the Geograph- ic society, and contains great fund of new information in this little de- veloped field of science. Within re- cent years the fascination and TO- nance of science have begun to cap ture popular immagination and this book adds a chapter to the wonder story of modern explorations and sci entific study.
 A tremendous volcanic upheaval that could blow from the top of great mountain 40 times the amount of earth and rock dug out of the Isth- mus of Panama to build the Panama canal, leaving a hole large enough to contain all the buildings in 14 cities the size of New York. is worth study ing. Such a cataclysm occurred when the top of Mt. katmai was blown off in an eruption in 1912. Climatic effects circling the world resulted in the eX- pldsion, and the volume deals with these phenomena as we'll as those of the great seething, steaming valley, from which it deriyeG its name.
 In addition it describes the Alice in- Wonderland phenomena in the wake of the eruption-such as tenn porary gigantic river that cTuised on the top of ridge; of streams that shifted their courses; ash showers that formed great thermal blankets to preserve great snow drifts; and flood that had million times the de structive power of the Johnstown dam burst.
 An amusing instance of the careful checking up of facts is related by pr. Griggs who tells how a skeptical chem ist. after learning of the proposed name of the valley, set out methodl- cally to count the columns of hissing steam. for fear the name was an exag- geration. He returned to camp to -e- port that the name had really been ir error the name, he said, should have been the Valley of a Million SmoKes.
 The volume is not dry technical one for thrills of personal adventures fill the pages. The explorer-author re- ldleS III Ol ldCt iioN the members of the party walked over acres where misstep would have plunged them to a parboiled death in the seething caldrons of the valley, with the ever-present fear that gust of wind might snuff out their lives with some gas that was more deadly if less odorous, than those among which they had already advanced.
 And yet, it is added, the region, now that it has been studied, would seem safer than city street, for not a sin gle member of the several parties was lost. Reports brought back so impress ed the president of the United States that he immediately set aside the dis trict as a National Monument, some day to become a park comparable on

She was puzzled. Should she stay
