Declares Activities Can Be Studied
Even Though No Eruption

HONOLULU P).-Dr T. A. Jag
gar, world-famous volcahologist at the
Kileuea Observatory on the island of
Hawaii, believes that an active vol
cano is rare and valuable possession.
/. In q report to the Hawaiian Vol

It's value and tells what volcanologists
look for.
IAN active volcano when 1t is quiet"
be says, "is just as recordable, just as
strategically important for itse tremors,
tits, temperatures and chemical ema-
nations, as when 1t is erupting. 1t Is
like a train steaming through noun
tain tunnels, seen from an airplane.
Sometimes it shows, sometimes not.
But the train is not dead because
It does not show. Yet many men OF
science still think a volcano Is OF no
interest unless 1t is erupting.
