TREMULOUS EARTH

Y AST SUMMER WE WERE STUNNED by the ef- A fleets of two atomic bombs which were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasak Each as destructive as 10000 tons of TNT we are told It seemed as if the ultimate in disaster had been reached Yet what is an atomic bomb compared with the earths crust when it twitches like cow horse that wrinkles its skin to rid itself of flies?
 Fifteen thousand feet below the ocean bottom of Dutch Harbor in what the geologsts call the Aleutian Deep there is landslide. The oceans floor drops and trough appears which the surrounding water immediately fills. And all along the Pacific coast of North and South America waves break on the shore-some of them high and massive enough to shatter boats. What is the explosion of an atomic bomb compared to this? Such catastrophes remind us that for all boosting have not yet conquered na ture We have to multiply the 10000 tons of TINT of which single atomic bomb is the equivalent by many times to match what happened in Dutch Harbor.

WHEN KRAKATOA EXPLODED!

TERRIBLE AS THE EFFECTS of the atomic bomb II were on Hiroshima and Nagasaki that was not the worst blast the earth has seen. People a few miles away were hardly aware of this explosion Almost immediately after it over, survivors began rebuilding these cities
 It was on August 27, 1885 that the greatest blast in the worlds history took place. On that date Kra- katoa an island about Is miles square in the Sundra Strait in the Dutch Indies, blew up Sound waves noted 5000 miles away The great waves in the sea- caused by this terrific explosion, reached the shores of four continents and recorded 900 miles away. An air wave caused by this blast travelled around the world several times.
 Early in the spring of 1883 there were warning signs Smoke and steam poured from recent Assures in the rocks The heat finally became intense that the natives had to leave the island. By now the Dutch realized that this not the usual thing heard along the entire coast of Java The terrible noise increased until deafening explosion heard
 Under ths combined weight of Krakatoa and the volcanoes Dananan and Perbowaten, the subterranean pocket of white hot lava had been building up ormous pressure. Finally, with all the fury of hell uneashed, stream of lava burst forth with deaf ening roar The ocean rushed into the opening. On contact with the lava the water became Superheated steam which broke down barrier after barrier of rock making the opening wider and wider.
 Then on the morning of August 27th, the ocean reached the volcanic center of the island and attacked the molten of the two volcanoes The heart ripped out of Krakatoa and 14 cubic miles of rock streaked upward into the sky in the most terrible blast in all history It not until years after 1924 that Krakatoa again became tropical jungle complete with orchids butterflies snakes and birds
