MOUNT VESUVIUS: t MKd
Storehouse of Fiery Fury
When Volcano Quiet Is;
Mystery Top Blown Off
in A. D. 79, Burying City
WASHINGTON. D. 0., (Spl).
Why does Vesuvius erupt? Where Is
stored her fiery fury during quiet
periods? Has she caverns leading off
from the main tube, full of restless
energy which man may tap. releas
ing pent-up danger, just as a safety
yajre lets off excess steam from a
locomotive's boiler? Can that ener
by be harnessed to grind men's grain,
heat their homes, and light their
streets?
'These are questions which dar
ing scientists, entering the hissing
mouth of the monster, recently have
sought to answer," says a bulletin
from the Washington, D. O. head
quarters of the National Geographic
Society. "To the people of Naples,
whose close-grouped houses and
fruitful vineyards lie within hiking
distance of the 'nervous' volcano, the
Investigation holds profound inter
est. Blew Off Its Head In A. D. 79
"At the beginning of the Christian
era, Vesuvius, having lain dormant
for centuries, was ovorgrou-n with
shrubbery Inside and - outside its
crater; and In 79, a terrific explosion
blew off a large section of the cra
ter's rim. Vesuvius belched out mil
lions of tons of ash and dust, bury
ing Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Sta
blae to a depth in some places of 60
feet. Before the Inhabitants had op
portunity to flee, suffocating fumes
; rushed down the slopes and brought
death to thousands. Condensing
steam fell like torrents of rain on
hot volcanic dust, forming a boiling
mud which ran down the mountain
sides In heavy masses. Strangely,
there Is no evidence of lava streams
during this eruption. Yet, so com
pletely was the region covered that
for centuries the locations of the
buried cities were unknown.
"The crater behaved treacherous
ly for a thousand years, then seem
ed to die. After lying quiet 600 years.
1 sprang to life in 1631. Again It
blew off its 'head,' reducing the
cone's height by 825 feet height
equal to a modern 35-story building!
During this eruption, rivers of fiery
lava screamed down the mountain's
sides. Nearly 18.000 people were
killed. .
Scientists Bt utllng source or Vol
canic Force
'"The latest severe eruption, in
1006. was carefully watched by sci
entists. Three distinct phases of ae
tivlty were noted: progressive rising
of heaving lava, which waa ultima
tely ejected, together with volumes
of smoke and ash; a rushing out of
great quantities of gas, made pos
sible after the volcano had cleared
Its throat of liquid lava: and finally
emission of choking dust and ash
which formed heavy black clouds,
the strongly electrified particles of
which were held close to earth as by
a magnet.
"If the central tube of Vesuvius
extends straight into the earth, there
la probably little that scientists can
do to prevent future eruptions. But.
aay the Investigators, it Is possible
that the tube 'goes Inward aslant, or
that a curvature in Its long neck
causes lava to clog the throat until
terrific pressure Is gathered, result
ing In upheavals such as thui nf
70. 131, and 1006. m either case, at
tempts may be made to Up the tube,
releasing pressure before an explos
ion occurs. Then, if volcanic action
can be controlled, more tunnels may
be drilled Into the crater's sides, to
take out natural stenm. either for
generating elpctrlcal riieify or for
heating purposes.
"At Larderello. near Fiance, vol
canic formations have been tapped
successfully for their natural vapor
since steam from some 'wells'
has a temperature of asfl degrees
Farenhelt, and rushes out under tre
mendous pressure. Dynamos, drtven
by the volcanic steam energy, gener
ate electricity which is used for
miles around.
"Near Sonoma. California, gevsers
are harnessed In a manner somewhat
similar to that xised on their volcanic-
cousins at Larderello. They
supply electric power and lipht for
the neighboring region."

DICTATORS DISCUSSED
BY EVANGELIST BURKE

Maintaining that he had no politi
cs! ax to grind Evangelist Henry E.
Burke gave an lTluminating discourse
last night on the theme "America's
coming dictator." at the First Bap-
tlat church, where Mr. Burke, wttn
his party, are conducting a series ox
special meetings. Mr. Burke said "The
spirit of dictatorship Is In the air.
everywhere, people are locking lor a
superman to lead them out of their
economic woes. If they should find
such a man and he would guarantee
them material success and security,
they would worship him. "However,"
said Mr. Burke, "I do not believe
that the American people would ac
cept a dictatorship like those in
Europe.
"People are clamoring for a super
man, largely because we have failed
to guarantee the right conduct ot
men by our present system. Democ
racy Is falling, not because the prin
ciple Is wrong, but because men fail
to take upon themselves the neces
sary responsibility for such a sys
tem." continued Mr. Burke.
A special service of unusual in
terest has been prepared for tills
evening. It has been designated as
Cross Night." The entire service will
center itself around the cross and
will he Illustrated by an Illuminated
cross, Mr. Burke will fpenk on the
subject, "In the Shadow of Calvary's
Cross.'
