Calendar Says Early Spring

According to our calendar, should have
early Spring this year. Easter and all other special
days dependent upon its date come unusually early
That, however, may not have any bearing upon the
climatic conditions of the weather, but it will make
Spring seem somewhat nearer.
Under system of reckoning, Easter can never
come before March o. and this year it falls mighty
near that mark, March Oath.
This is the earliest Easter date in the present
century, except in 1913, when it occurred March
%. Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of
Lent comes on Wednesday, February 7th, this year
and it is reckoned forty days before Easter, not
counting the intervening Sundays.
Thus YOU see on the calendar a bid for early
Spring weather, and it must come to pass, or what
will mlady do without that new spring bonnet.

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 filled 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

bling separate parts and hammer

Elephants and Donkeys

TT HE Republican and Democratic
parties existed long before they
had elephants and donkeys for party
symbols. Although the Democratic
party was formed in 1882, the first
Democratic cartoon in which the
emblem of the party was repre-
scented as a donkey did not appear
until 1870.
1t was drawing by Thomas Mast
in Harper's Weekly entitled "A Live
Jackass Kicking Dead Lion" The
donkey was tagged "Copperhead
Papers, and the. dead lion repre-
sented Stanton, Lincoln's secretary
of war. Stanton, who died the year
before, had been embroiled in par
tisan politics, and Mast did not think
that Democratic newspapers had
the right to attack a man after he
was dead. Nast's vitriolic cartoon
made big impression and the
donkey has symbolized the Dem
ocratic party ever since.
Mast also drew the first picture
Of Republican elephant. His
cartoon, appearing in Harper's dur
ing the fall of 1874, was titled "The
Third-Term Panic and referred to
the possibility of Ulysses S. Grant
seeking a third term for president.
A biblical inscription was used in
conjunction, IAN ass, having put
on the lions skin, roamed about
in the forest, and amused himself by
frightening all the foolish animals
he met within his wanderings." One
of the animals was an elephant.
This cartoon also attracted wide
attention, and served to give the
Republican party a permanent emf

have never replaced,

Molten Interior of
Earth Theory Now
Revived by Science

Washington. Volcanoes
roots may go 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 likened 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 a new name,
"abyssoliths, meaning bottomless
stones An ahyssolith 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
a liquid sloshing around like water
in a jug. If it we're 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 steely
rightly. In terms of the surface
the interior can be stated only as
a paradox: molten, yet stiff
Volcanoes in a Series.
Volcanoes of the Hawaiian islands
are in 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 a 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 a vast
spring of lava builds 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. G. 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. Doctsr Zies has made special
study of this phenomenon at Merapi
volcano in Java.
