70 lAs CoHpoSluOn ana structure O3 meteorltes. IL has been shown, on the one hand. that some meteorites contain substances precisely similar 10 those which are brought from the earth's interior during volcanic out bursts: and. on the other hand, there have been detected. among some of the election of volcanoes, bodies which so nearly resembled meteorites that they were long mis- taken for them"
 Page 1e7; Tn the case os the Lapari Islands. the Assures along which the volcanic mountains have been thrown up radiate from q conI- mon center. and similar arrange ment can be traced in many yolca nic regions, especially those in which g great central yolcano has existed"
 Page 2lo: These basal,ic dykes occur in such prodigious numbers around volcanic vents, that the whole Of the stra;it1ed rocks in the immediate vicinity are broken up by q complete network Of them, cross ing and interlacing i'll complicated fusion. Farther away from the vent similar dykes are found in smaller numbers evidently radiating from the same center, and sometimes ex- tending 10 distance of d hundred miles from il"
 When q great me,eorite strikes the earth, which probably does not happen oftener than once in one hundred thousand years, it breaks the rocks fine around the hole that 1t makes, and Assures in the earth raiiate from the hole to 8 distance Of hundreds Of miles sometimes The lava that flows into these Assures, large and small, and hardens, nul- canologists calls dykes. f
 Not all volcanoes mark the place where q great metaorite struck the earth. The majority Of volcanoes are what are called Assure volcanoes. that is, they are formed on the great Assures that radiate from the place where the meteorlte struck. The inn pact of great meteor!te causes a great central volcano and, as result of the lava flowing from this great central volcano into the radi- ating Assures, many Assure volcanoes are formed because the lava that flows into the Assures needs vents, and where these vents are formed volcanic mountains are thrown up From the above it is evident that the fall of one great Eneteorite might cause volcaoic region of consider able extent. Sometimes when 8 great meteorite strikes the earth, the crust Of the earth is cracked for hundreds of miles in opposite directions from where the meteorite struck, and as q result of Assure volcanoes being formed on these Assures q noun tain chain is built up.
 Scientific men are coming to realize more and more every day that volcanoes are simply local af- fairs, and have nothing to do with a generally molten state of the in terior of the earth. Although 1t is admitted that the earth is very hot inside, scientific men are coming to realize more and more, as they study the subject, that the earth is not and never could have been a molten mass of matter.
 This theory that volcanoes are caused by great 1ne,eorites striking the earth is my own theory so far as know. and it is new theory. am fully persuaded that future re. i search will confirm this theory. be- cause l am convinced that all of the phenomena connected with vol canoes cannot be explained by any other theory.

GAY PARTIES FOR FLORIDA GUESTS
Arriving and Departing Notables
 Are Feted

Palm Beach, Fla. March r bpt- { Society struck a comfortable late season stride this week. attending many gay parties for arriving and departing notables, but otherwise disporting itself in enjoyable rather l than teverish activity.
 1 Mrs. Clarence Jones. who has moved into her new Vita Serena ] home for the remainder Of her stay. entertained Mrs. Vincent Astor and | her guests when they stopped here en route from Havana north. With Mrs. Astor aboard her priv ate car were Mrs. J. S. Cosden. Lady | Diana Manners of Tho Miracle" fame. and Captain Bertram Crueer. Mrs. Jones gave an interesting din- | iner at the Everglades club, and Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Williams, with whom Lady Diana and the captain stayed while here, entertained sev- l eral times for the party at La Quer- <. ida the Ocean Bluff home of Rod
 man Wanamaker II. The Williams since have closed the home and started north.
 Meanwhile the Princess Of Thuru 1 and Taxis arrived at the Nineta for [ the spring season, and Princess Le- bowicz with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. c. Bai Lihme and Mrs. Clement A. Griscom III. Of New York, arc staying at the Everglades.
 1 Spring seems to have borrowed q deal of winters charm so far as notables are concerned, since many of them are arriving daily. MT. and 1 Mrs. Andrew Carnegie II have come from their Fernandina estate for l fortnight here. On the departure Of l Otto H. Kahn. for New York, Mr. and Mrs. Ogden Mills Reid of New York and their children are arriving 10 spend q month at his villa Ohcka. | Mrs. William K. Dick, who recent ly arrived at White Hall with Miss 1 Phyllis Walsh Of Philadelphia, has been joined by Mir. Dick. their two sons and young John Jacob Astor. Those seriously addicted to tour nament sports for recreation have gone elsewhere in Florida this week for thrills. Women's golf at St Augustine and Belleair drew enthu- siastic galleries. while mems golf al St. Augustine and mems tennis at Jacksonville commanded a share of attention from the winter colonies.
 
 Mir. and Mrs. Frederick Richards were host recently at q gay dinner at La Colmena, the Barton avenue home of Jules Bachc's father. The
 guests went 10 the Oasis club later
 for the dance and match hunt given
 by Mir. and Mrs. Joseph Urban. ] A largely attended benefit concert , for the Animal Rescue league, the
 Palm Beach society uomens organi- zation to provide for cats and dogs deserted by cottagers as the season wanes, was given this week at the home of Mrs. Edward r. Hutton. Prominent society women were pa tronesses and Mir. and Mrs. George Dunstan were the artists.
