Causes GiTen by Science For the
Phenomena ' of Volcanic Ezplo
lous Relation of Earthquakes to
Eruption of Crater.
The recent volcanic outbursts in the
Islands of Martinique and St. Vincent,
iwblch astounded the world by the ex
tent of the disaster wrought to lives
and property, naturally raise the que
ry as to the causes of these disturb
ances of the earth's crust.
Science has as yet been unable to de
termine definitely the causes of earth
quakes and volcanic eruptions. The
theory of volcanic action is that water
finds its way into the interior of the
earth through fissures in the ocean bed
and subterranean streams. This, reach
ing the superheated molten mass of the
subsurface, is immediately converted
into steam. This steam under enor
mous pressure seeks an outlet in the
weakest spot In the earth's crust, and
thus volcanoes are formed. This Is ap
parently what happened in Martinique
and caused the awful destruction.
Mont Telee had previously erupted In
185J,'but without great damage. Then
thfcijCrater closed, the pressure from
within having ceased. But It was only
slumbering, awaiting the time when it
should gather renewed strength. '

scientists, is subject to earthquake dis-

piAGRAM SHOWING HOW PELEE EXPLODED.
According to scientists, the water reach
ed the molten lava In the interior of Mont
Pelee through fissures In the rock and
was, converted Into Bteam. This steam,
following the line of least resistance, blew
off the top of the volcano. J
turbances. For several weeks prior to
the explosion of Mont Felee seismic
shocks had been felt throughout the is
lands in that vicinity and on the main
land of Central America. It is known
to geologists that the coast of that re
gion is gradually rising. Whenever
such an elevation is in progress a strain
is necessarily brought to bear upon the
rocks composing the underlying strata
of the earth's crust In the vicinity of
the rising area.
That Mont Pelee's outburst was the
result of a sudelon explosion of pentup
steam Is now generally conceded by
men of science. The few surviving
witnesses sny that the whole top of
the mountain was torn off and hurled
Into space, shooting almost straight up
Into the air aud going thousands, of
feet up. A giant volume of flame flash
ed along just under It. The great black
mass fell buck, mid the flames spread
and seemed to roll down the moun
tain's side on to the city like a river of
Are.
Practically the same thing happened
at La Soufriere, on the island of St.
Vincent, although the force of the ex
plosion was not so great as at Mont
Tclee, probably because the first ex
plosion had given vent to a part of the
tremendous pressure of the imprisoned
steam.
The question then arises, Why do
not such explosions take place any
where on the earth's surface Instead
of through the crater of a volcano?
This has been explained by an eminent
scientist, who says they sometimes
do take place at random, so to speak,
and when that happens the world be
holds the phenomenon of the formation
of a new volcano.
But ordinarily the explosion occurs
through the vent, or throat, of an al
ready existing volcano, because the
weukest lines in the earth's crust are
the places where new fissures are most
likely to be formed, and along these
lines of weakness the volcanoes stand
like rows of safety valves or chim
neys. It does not necessarily follow that be
cause one volcano breaks out its neigh
tors will follow suit. Sometimes there
seems to be some sympathetic connec
tion between remote vents, as in the
case of Mont Pelee and La Soufriere.
A very violent explosion may rend
the side of a crater or even blow It out,
aud then the molten rock pours down
the mountain side In a flood, over
whelming everything before It. Not un
til the vents have become cold and
dead from lung periods: Is there abso
lute safety from eruptions and earth
quakes in a volcanic region. Vesuvius,
for example, was apparently extinct
for about S0O .veins of historical rec
ords and then broke out aud destroyed
Pompeii. It has been continually ac
tive ever stnee, a period of 1.S32 years.
It is therefore Impossible to ptviliet
what will happen In the Lesser Antilles.
The activities may decline or they may
break out with renewed violence and
over a wider area. 1

Lost i
Mrs Richard floe
had started for
Wellville, and had
missed the way.
She had been, wrongly directed by well-meaning friends.
While she was pondering the situation, she saw a fine healthy
woman coming toward her, and asked her: "Do you know
where Wellville is ? " " Of course I do," was the answer,
" I live there." The stranger gave Mrs. Roe exact directions
as to the way to Wellville and passed on. But Mrs. Roe
stood still. " Suppose," she said to herself, " that this woman
is deceiving me. Perhaps she doesn't live in Wellville or
know the way." And while she was still pondering,' another
woman came by and Mrs. Roe accosted her. " How can I
get to Wellville ? " she asked. Again the way was pointed
out and the stranger passed on. But Mrs. Roe still stood in
the road, wondering whether the directions given her were
trustworthy. ' 1
One would say that Mrs. Roe must be a very singular
woman. , She wanted to go to Wellville, could not find the
way, and yet doubted the information given her by two of
her own sex who had no motive in the world for deceiving
her. But Mrs. Roe is not at all singular. There are many
like her. They are sick and want to be well. Not two
women, but scores and thousands, say, " We know the way '
to be well. We are well after years of sickness, and we can
tell you, as a matter of experience, that Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women
well." But still the Mrs. Roes stand hesitating, wondering
whether they are being deceived by the women who point
the way to health.
Often there is a natural reason for this doubt and hesi
tancy. Directions given by friends have been perhaps fol
lowed without result Perhaps the local physician has said
there is no way by which you can regain health. But a large
number of the women who have been cured by the use
of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription have gone through
the same experience. Friends advised this or that
medicine but it failed to cure. Doctors said ; " There
is no hope of health for you," ahid at the last, the use of
"Favorite Prescription" healed disease and restored
perfect and permanent health.
"You have my heart-felt thanks for the kind advice you sent
me," writes Mrs. Florence Archer, of Easou, Macon Co., Tenn.
Words fail to express what I endured for about eight years '
with female trouble. The awful pain that I had to endure each
month, no tongue can express. These bearing-down pains,
backache, headache, distress in ray stomach, and sores in my
Breast, cramp in limbs they have all left me and health has
tilken nlace of these distwsslncr trnuhlpq Whnf
Vto leave? It was the best medicine on earth Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescrintion. For ths firht three or four davo aftor tot
ing the medicine I not worse. Had you not told me that I
should be apt to feel worse I never would have taken another dose; but
In one week's time I began to feel better. After taking six bottles of
the ' Favorite Prescription'' and using the local treatment you advised I
felt like a new woman."
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures womanly diseases.
Hundreds of thousands of women testify to that fact. It has
cured in cases where every other available means and medicine had utterly failed
to give more than temporary relief. ;" Favorite Prescription " establishes regu
larity, dries the drains which weaken women, heals inflammation and ulceration
and cures female weakness. For expectant mothers it has no equal. It prevents
or cures morning sickness, tranqujlizes the nerves, encourages the appetite and
induces refreshing sleep. It gives great muscular vigor and elasticity and so
makes the baby's advent practicality painless. It is the best known tonio for
nursing mothers. t .'
"Without solicitation from you I feehit my duty to suffering women, to make known the
virtues of your 'Favorito Prescription, tin curing me of a complication of diseases," writes
Mrs. Mary J. Weida, of AUentown, .Pa 391 Oak Street. I had heart trouble for about
three years and was so weak and nth-down that I had to .force myself to attend to my
household duties. Theleast oxcitemeiut would cause my heart to flutter, and during its
normal periods it would eviiry now and then seem to lose a beat, which affected me through
my whole system, even the raisirjj'of Jtuy; hands above my head, would make me so weak
that I had to sit down awhile t- recover luvsfelf. All these ills have given way to the cura
tive power of your ' Favorite Prescripti. The greatest relief was received prior to the
coming of my little one; during the six previous experiences I was afflicted with morning
sickness from beginning to ena of each period, but after using your remedy for one week, I
was entirely relieved of that distressing affliction. No one can appreciate what a relief that
was, save those who have actually experienced it."
Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free. All letters are
held as strictly private and 6acredly confidential. Address Dr. R V. Pierce,
Buffalo, N. Y. . .
If you are led to the purchase of " Favorite Prescription,' because of its re
