Molten Interior of
Earth Theory Now
Revived by Science
q Science Service.-WNU Service.

Washington. - Volcanoes
roots may 60 down to a molten
earth-interior after all, despite
the disrepute into which that
theory, once universally held,
has fallen during recent years.
A picture of the roots of volca-
noes, presenting the old theory
in more acceptable modern
form, was offered before the
meeting here of the American
Geophysical union by Prof.
Reginald A. DAILY of Harvard
university.
Professor DAILY hkened the crust
Of the earth to a wrinkled layer OF
solid paraffin floating on an interior
of melted paraffin. The actual ma
terials of the earth's crust and deep
er layers are, of course, stony. Solid
stone floats on the molten stone.
Connecting masses between the vol
canoes and the molten interior, Doc
tor DAILY called by new name,
"abyssoliths, meaning bottomless
stones. An abyssolith carries to the
surface molten rock material, with
steam and other gases under great
pressure. These gases are the real
explosives that supply motive pow
er to volcanoes, he said. When
the abyssolith's supply of them is
spent the volcano "goes out"
The molten interior of the earth
is, of course, not to be thought of as
liquid sloshing around like water
in jug. If it were at the surface,
it might be liquid; the material is
hot enough so that at least some of
it would flow freely. But buried at
great depths as it is, the molten
interior mass is under such terrific
pressure that it is held to a steely
rigidity. In terms of the surface
the interior can be stated only as
paradox: molten, yet stiff.
Volcanoes in a Series.
Volcanoes of the Hawaiian islands
are in a connected series, so that
the behavior of any one of them
may affect the others, stated DR..
T. A. Jaggar, the government vol
canologist who has lived on the rim
of Kilauea crater for more than a
quarter of century.
There is kind of compensatory
movement of lavas in the volcanoes
he has watched, Doctor Jaggar told
his audience. When it falls under
one of them it usually rises in an
other. Persistent or repeated swell
ing and overfiowing of such vast
spring of lava builds a dome-shaped
crater; persistent sinking permits
the surface layers to break and
crash down, forming an enormous
pit.
Steam jets, or fumaroles, warn of
coming eruptions in the case of
many volcanoes, DR.. E. C. Zies of
the Carnegie Institution of Washing
ton pointed out. Not all volcanoes
have these danger signals, but on
some of them the fumarolic activity
preceding eruptions are characteris-
tic. Doctor Zies has made special
study of this phenomenon at Merapi
volcano in Java.

Old Greek Bronze Shop
Is Unearthed at Olympia

Berlin.-Bronze helmets and stat
uettes have been unearthed by Ger
man psychologists exploring ruins
of an old Greek bronze foundry at
Olympia.
The ruins have yielded ovens, re-
torts and moulds used by the
Greeks, and from these the tech
nique which made the Greeks the
greatest of bronze founders can be
investigated.
The Greeks located their work
shop in the bed of an ancient rivulet
which had filed up with sand, the
Psychologists explain. From this
sand were formed the moulds for
holding the molten bronze. In their
technique, the Greeks were adopt
ing early the Egyptian method of
hollow castings in sand, and con-
structing bronze articles by assem-
bling separate parts and hammer
ing them together.

Deaf Patients Aided by
Thyroxine Injections

Atlantic City, N. 1.-THE miracle
of making the deaf hear has been
at least partially wrought by injec-
tons into the ear of thyroxine, hor-
none secreted by the thyroid
gland. Results of this method of
treatment were reported by DR..
Max A. Goldstein of st. Louis, Mo-,
at the meeting here of the American
Laryngological, Neurological and
biological association.
The patients were suffering from
the chronic hereditary type of deaf
ness known as otosclerosis. In
this condition spongy bone forms in
the capsule of the labyrinth of the
ear. Doctor Goldstein injected the
thyroxine into the middle ear. I'm
provement in hearing ranged from
35 to SO per cent.

Jim Allison and a couple of his
friends had arrived at the field.
Evening, Petey!" Allison greeted
the man who stepped forward.
Lieutenant Thorwald's delayed, so
I'll warm up for him."
"Okeh, Cap'n Allison"
The aviator's keen bitter eyes ran
over the outlines Of the ship as he
walked toward it.

They were standing together when
Reedley and Lieutenant Thorwald

clumsily.

She let go Of the table in order to
wave both hands, and instantly her
knees buckled under her, and she
sat down upon the floor, passed
cropping fingers over her eyes, fell
forward on her face, and slept.
It was the major thrill in the ex-
istence of the Stewed Prune. "Not

son! Simply blotto!"
Duncan Van Doren reproached
her heavily. ooh, no! You wouldn't

month with four weeks in it is Feb

airy has one day over four weeks.
