Rich Chemicals Loct When Volcanoes Erupt Washington.—Not nil active vol canoes erupt, as did Mount Etna re cently. like a boiled-over pot. Many explode, shooting dust and ashes miles into the air. The non-explosive character of Etna Is ascribed by vol canologists to the fact that its lava Is a relatively thin liquid which al lows steam and gas bubbles to escape readily.* In explosive volcanoes the lava Is thick. It holds hack steam and gas stubbornly, causing immense pressure beneath and eventually a vio lent eruption. * Because practically every active vol cano in the world is located not fur from large bodies of water, the theory Is advanced by Dr. William Bovle of the United States coast and geodetic survey, and others, that the knead ing action of the pcrimllr titles twists the earth, forcing up the lava and causing volcanic activity. Concerning the source of heat that forms molten rock, or magma, one theory is that Internal pressure causes it. A second, writes Edwin W. Tealt of the Popular Science Monthly, Is that the heat Is produced .hy chem ical action. ■ Anothei Is that friction of shifting layers of rock generates It. MnJ C. E. Dutton, n geologist of the United States goologh*nl survey, has advanced the Idea that tlm real secret Is radium! Radioactivity In (lie rocks, he says. Is sufilcient to melt them In certain places, forming large subterranean (tools of lava. Untold fortunes In'gnsrs and chemi cals. valuable to Industry, are wasted In the ntnntsphere every time a vol cano lets go. “The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes.** In Alaska, a vol canic field formed by the eruption of Mount Kntmal In 1012. has tieeu called a gigantic chemical factory.
