McMiire lo Mfo Kluii the llrulmiluK
of Time,
The recent appalling catastrophe In
Hie Island of Miirllnl'tue In which
many thousands' of lives were lost,
owing to 11 volcanic eruption of Mount
Pelee, naturally turns the minds of
imiiiy to tho consideration of these
slriiiige phenomena uf nature, which
1 hnve been n iiiciuici to Iir since thu
beginning of time. To the geologist
nml sciential volcanic eruptions hnvo
I long been a most Interesting problem
and a source of constant Investigation.
, Thcro Is every evidence to prove that
these eruptions extend Ixiek through
ages mid ages of tho world's life. In
I nil parts of tho earth nre found inoun
1 tains nud other land formntluns which
j arc the result of long protracted erup
1 Hons of volcanoes.
! Eminent authorities ill tier ns to the
! ox net cause of these eruptions, seem
ingly from the bowels of the earth.
'I bo generally accepted opinion, how
ever, Is that Hit! metallic buses of tho
earth when brought Into contact with
the waters of the ocean react violently,
generating a great amount of heat,
causing steam mid giving rise to thu
elements of tho slllcnted minerals
which make up tho volcanic rocks and
which nru ejected from the opening in
tho earth's surface. The gaseous
products or vapors arising from this
Internal commotion aro of sulllclent
strength to rend tho earth's crust, thua
causing cnrthijunkes and a way of es
cape for the solid and liquid mnterlals
which nre belched from the earth's In
terior. Volcanic activity, though It be
continuous, differs very much In de
gree nt different times. Nearly all of
the active volcanoes have t.iuis of rel
ative repose. Interrupted often at great
Intervals by periods of Increased ac
tivity which terminate In n violent
eruption. Thus it will be seen that
oftentimes that which Is called an ex
tinct volcano Is but a seething, roar
ing mass of burning lava below the
surface which dually bursts forth and
In many Instances with appalling loss
of life.
Whntcver the remote cause of a jol
cnnlc eruption may have been It is dif
ficult to bellevo that the laimetllate
cause can be anything but a gigantic
explosion of steam In the bowels of
the earth. It Is known Hint water
penetrates to considerable depths lu
the earth, even In the middle of conti
nents. This water goes ns deep as thu
gradually increasing beat of the planet
will permit It to do while retaining
the liquid form. When, however. It
encounters heat sulllclent to liquefy
solid bodies. It Is changed Into super
heated steam n thing whose resistless
power tlelles the mightiest bonds, mid
even the rocky crust of the earth can
not withstand the explosive energy
that Is thus brought to bear upon It.
The question often arise as to why
these explosions do not occur any
where. Sometimes they do nud then
we have n new volcano. Ordinarily,
however, the explosion occurs through
the vent or throat of an already exist
ing volcano, because the weakest
points, or lines. In the earth's crust are
the places where new fissures are like
ly to bo formed, and along these lines
of weakness the volcanoes stand like
rows of safety valves or chimneys.
On tho American continent modern
volcanoes nrc limited to the Pncitlc
slope, along which they may be traced
almost continuously from Cnpe Horn
to Aluskn. lireat numbers of volca
noes occur throughout the Amies
fountains, tu South America. There
some attain Immense heights, such as
Cntopaxl, In Peru, which reaches an
elevation of ID.oOO feet above the level
of the sen. Tho volcanoes of Central
America and of Mexico arc numerous
and conspicuous. Throughout tho
Aleutian Islands, 011 the north, the belt
of volcanoes In Western America is
connected with those of Kamchatka,
which, with those of Kurlles, In Japan
and of the Philippines, form a chain
of volcanic rents to the East Indian
archipelago. Thus It will be seen that I
11 complete circle of volcanoes sur
rounds tho Paclllc Ocean. This Is a
notlcenblo fact In the history of vol
canoestheir general linear arrange
ment. I
Volcanoes differ greatly atuoug them- 1
selves, not only In dimensions, but in 1
the degreo of their activity, the quan
tity and quality of materials ejected
from them, and tho continuous or In-1
termlttcut character of their action.
Kor inoro than -',000 years, for In- 1
ttmice, the volcano Stromboll, lu tho
Mediterranean, has been constantly
discharging lava. Vesuvius, on the
other hnntl, bad lain dormant for nges
prior to the beginning of the Christian '
era, when Its discharges of lava and
ashes burled the cities of Pompeii and 1
Hcrculaneum.
The many formations of land
throughout tho world which ore the
result of volcanic eruptions are entire
ly composed of lava. This material,
which, during Its exit from the mouth
of tho volcnno resembles a molten
mass, Is but finely ground particles of
rock. Its passage from the crater, or
mouth of tho volcano. Is arrested by
tho cooling process of air, Tho grad
ual accumulation of theso ejected ma
terials form a succession of layers, re
sembling earth, which accounts for
tho conical shape of those volcanoes
which nrlso from the surfneo of tho
sea. Volcanoes which nre located lu
tho mountains resemble others of their
kind only at tho top. The mineral
matter which Is contained In tho lava
of a volcano Is oftentimes of great
value, as for Instance, tho copper-bearing
stratum about I.nko Superior,
which bears evidence of having been
discharged from nn nctlve volcano nt
somo rcmoto period.

GATHERING INDIA RUBBER.
Work of the Men Who Take the Prod
uct from the Tree,
With tho increase of piieuinatlc-tlred
vehicles, rubber has become one of the
chief exports of some South American
countries. In bis book, "Climbing and
Exploration In tho tlollvlau Andes,
Sir Martin Conway gtves'an Interest
ing account of tbo way In which the
cum Is procured and prepared.
The workman, starting out early In
the morning for when the sun Is high
the trees cease to bleed, carries with
htm a number of little tin cups. Hav
ing arrived at tho tree, be makes on
or more Incisions In the bark and at
taches one of the tin cups below each
cut by pressing It Into the soft bark.
The number of Incisions that can safe
ly be made In the tree Is a matter upon
which tbcro Is more or less disagree
ment It seems to be settled, however.
tbat a strip of bark all down the tree,
one-third of the circumference In
width, must be left unbroken, or tho
tree will bleed to death.
The cup collects the drops of sap that
exude from the wound In the bark.
Ultimately the wound becomes covered
by a film or clot of dried sap. which
also Is afterward removed and utilized.
The workman proceeds from tree to
tree, attaching bis cups, till he has
tapped from seventy-live to one hun
dred trees. After the hour when the
sap ceases to run the man goes round
again, carrying a tin vessel wltn a
cover, into which he pours the "milk"
tbat bns run Into the enps.
When he has brought the day's gatb
erlng to his but. be lights a fire of palM
wood. He places a funnel over It t
collect the smoke, and then, taking a
kind of small wooden paddle, dips tho
blade Into the liquid, which covers It
with a thin coating. Ue now holds tha
paddle over the fire In the smoke, turn.
lng Its faces alternately to the beat.
The coating of mllk-Uke sap Is thus
rapidly smoked and coagulated Into
solid, cured rubber. The paddle Is then
dipped again, and the process repeated
until a large bulb or ball has been form
ed. When this bag reached a convenient
size. It Is silt down the sides and
stripped from the paddle. The lumps
thus formed are ready for export, and
are the pure rubber of commerce.
A Poor Crumb of Comfort.
Although It happened In a Western
railroad station, according to tbo Chi
cago Tribune, It might Just as natural,
ly have occurred In the East. A
through train was pulling out. The
can were well tn motion when a man
came running down the platform. He
was In his shirt-sleeves, and was pant
ing heavily. "Smith! Smith!" ho
shouted.
In the parlor-car at the rear of the
train sat a man who, hearing the cry,
stuck bis head out of the window. As
he did so, the man running; along the
platform looked at him, and then,
reaching up, struck him a smart blow
across the check with bis open palm.
Every moment tho wheels were re
volving mora swiftly, and beforo the
passenger could call tho conductor the
train ras out of the station. Rut the
man who had been slapped on the .face
was even moro Indignant tunu he was
when tho blow was struck, and by tha
tlmo the conductor reached lilm be was
boiling over,
"What kind of an outrage Is this?'
he demanded of the man In brass but
tons. "Here am I, an lunocent passen
ger sitting In this car Just as the train
pulls out of the station. Suddculy a
man runs down the platform, shrieking
Smith! Smith!' 1 look out of the win
dow, nnd be- reaches up nud almost
knocks my face off! Now, I want
"Pardon me," Interrupted the con
ductor. "Is your name Smith"
"No, It Isn't, and that Is Just what
makes "
"Well, then, my friend, what did you
look out of tho window for? There
wasn't anybody calling you, was
there?"
