V OU 'AX 10 eruptions and earth quakes, which for ages man believed to be the work of ma licnnnt demons or wrathful gods, are gradually yielding the recrets of their causes and processes to scien tific Investigators, It is in an effort to extend still further science's abil ity to understand these forces of na ture, and even to forecast their ap pearances, that the National Geo graphic society Is sending an expedi tion this spring and summer to study Intensively the conditions tn one of the world's greatest volcanic regions, the smoking vents of the Alaskan peninsula and the Aleutian Islands. The studies will be conducted by Dr. Thomas A. Jaggar, who has lived for many years In an observatory on the brink of the crater of Kllauea, studying that mighty volcano's moods as shown In the waxing and waning of Its pits of molten lava. How It has already been possible with present knowledge to prophesy a volcanic eruption and so to save thousands of lives, U seen In the circumstances sur rounding the eruption of SakuraJIma. Japan, In 1014. This greatest eruption In the an nals of the Island empire resulted In the loss of only 35 lives and some millions of dollars In property. Scien tific Investigation la, tn large measure, to be credited with the relatively few casualties, for it was through the prediction of the Imminence of the SakuraJIma outbreak that the Inhabi tants of a populous district were en abled to flee from the wrath about to come. It was through a study of premoni tory earthquakes In their relation to volcanic outbreaks that the Sakura JIma eruption was definitely predict ed; conversely. It is boped that, in tlmeth rough exhaustive study of vol canic activities, earthquakes may be predicted with accuracy. The phe nomena of the SakuraJIma eruption, therefore, are proving of transcendent Importance to the scientific world, and the measures "which were taken to safeguard life at that time are being eagerly studied anew, ' The volcano of SakuraJIma, shaped much like Vesuvius, rises to a height of S.iOi feet directly opposite the city of Kagoshlma, In Kagoshlms bay a tongue of water extending some V) miles Into the southern end of Kyu shu, the most southerly of the four main Islands of the Japanese achipela go. Growths of young pine trees mark the course of old lava flows from the two mnlo craters of the summit Warning of SakuraJIma Outbreak. Prior to the eruption of 1914, 18 vil lages, with an aggregate population of ,22.000 Industrious farmers and flaber tolk, netled on the shores of this 'small volcanic island, which nearly filled the bay between Kagoshlma and the Osutnl promontory. The channel between the volcano and the city was barely two and one-half miles wide, with a depth of from nineteen to seventy fathoms, while that on the . Usuml side was only one-third of a mile wide, with an average depth of more than fifty fathoms. Kagoshlma, the thriving capital city of the prov ince, with a population of ?0,0UU. Is the center of Satsutna pottery tnanu fucture and of a fertile farming re gion, producing tobacco, citrus trait and sugar cane. Men of science had long known what lay In store for Kagoshlma. Ex perience had taught observers thai when "swarms" of earthquakes begin In the vicinity of an active volcano, the "underground dragon" Is writhing and preparing to make trouble. In V.m slid 1010 two writers pub lished warnings that SakuraJIma was likely to erupt explosively after vlo - lent premonitory earthquakes, Iiulufall during li13 at Kagoshlma had been unusually light as had been the fras ten years and twenty years - pre lously, each of those dry years New Hat Ornament A felt hut of beige and brown has an unuxuul ornament In front consist lug of a glass dragon fly with a silver body.

Violent erup tions began tn 1013, not nt SukuraJI- ma, but on KtrUhlraa, where there were three outbursts, the last two be Ing on November 8 and December 9. On SakuraJIma, however, earth quakes began to occur tn "swnrms" and people began to Jump. Three strong shocks were felt on the after noon of January 10, followed tn the evening by two more. The next morn ing there wera three strong shocks, accompanied by rumblings, before sun- rises. The earthquakes now became In creasingly alarming. Growling noises preceded some and a roaring, as of escaping gas under pressure, fol lowed others. People Fits From Eruption. Four hundred seventeen earthquakes were recorded at Kagoshlma between 4 a. tn, January 11, and 10 a. ro. January 12. after' which the main eruption of SakuraJIma began. Count ing the shocks of the 10th, which bad begun about 1 p. m. there was Imme diate forewarning tn noises and shakes for 45 hours prior to the ex plosion. These warnings were heeded. Every available sampan sculled with frantic speed back and forth across the chan nel all day Sunday, January 11, mov ing the nntlvea of the Island, their bedding, mats, rice bays, and canary birds, to the mainland. By Monday the army, navy and other government departments, railways and steamship lines were all helping. Sunday after noon, about two o'clock, during a pe riod of violent quaking, a report came from Tarumt, southeast of SakuraJIma, that white smoke wss seen rising from the middle of the volcano. The Mon day period of seismic activity was strikingly terminated and relieved by the volcanic outbreak of ten o'clock. The climax came at 10:05, when. In the middle of the side of the moun tain toward Kagoshlma, the awe stricken people saw the hard profile of a swelling balloon of black smoke rise majestically from the ground where, an hour before, were orange orchards, terraced fields of sugar cane, and gardens of radishes. Ter minutes after the first outbreak a sim ilar cauliflower column rose from the east flank of the volcano, but this was dwarfed by the towering western shaft with which It eventually merged. With occasional lulls, but with ever Increasing violence, the booming con cussions of the eruption grew more and more terrible. Flashes of light ning danced through the great billows of smoke and dust and. In the lower portion of the great black column, vertical lines of Dpward streaming rocks, bombs, sand, and smoke, curl ing as high aa the mountain Itself, could be seen from time to time. Fatalities In Kagoshlma. The crisis, which resulted tn the only loss of life during the disaster, occurred at 6 :29, when a terrific earth quake threw down walls and buildings at Kagoshlma, dislodged bowlders from cliffs, and Interrupted railway and telegraph services. Fugitives were trapped In landslides, and a tidal wave, with a ten-foot swing, caused serious damage to small boat In the harbor. Thirty-five persons were crushed to death and 112 were Injured. This quake Is to be classed as a "world shaker," for tt was recorded on seismographs In Europe. The lava flows from the volcano had begun and the gas explosions bad relieved the under earth of millions of tons of matter, so that this quake was probably the evidence of a deep movement or settling, that had begun along the great chain of ftyu-Kyo vol canoes, extending from Kyushu to Tui- wan (Formosa) In a string of Islets 000 miles to the southwest Simultaneously with the occurrence of the big quake a sudden lava glo was observed on the smoke coming from the volcano. This continued for some time.
