SAEETY VALVES iPrevent the Blown to Atozus by Pressure From Within. litna. the "burning mountain," receiitly active after several years of comparative quiet, is Europe‘s biggest anti inostâ€"dreadml volcano. It is 10.800 feet liiglimiritl feet ltivvel‘ than it was .30 years ago-sand meas- ures no less than ninetyâ€"one miles in circumference at its base. Although volcanoes are often reâ€" ferred to as “burning mountains." in reality they do not burn at all. Neither are they mountains in the true sense of the term. The scien- tific definition of a volcano is “an opening in the earth‘s crust, through which heated matter is thrown up from the earth's interior to the sur- face, where it usually forms a hill more or less conical in shape and generally with a hollow, or crater. at. the top." Where eruptions frequently oc- cur, the heated materials forced upâ€" wards pile themselves to heights which cause them to be classed as mountains. is merely the reflection of the mol- ten lava on the clouds of steam which hang over the crater. The steam itself is often wrongly spoken of as smoke. The cause of volcanic action is not known. The most popular theory is that it is brought about by water getting into the white-hot furnace below the earth‘s crust. In support of this the fact is cited that. nearly all the most active close to the sea. Volcanoes are really safety valves. Without them we could hardly have existed at all. for scientists say it. is diie to volcanic action that the con- tinents emerged from the sea. Earth- quakes. which are usually more ter- rible in their effects than volcanoes, would occur much more frequently but for these safety valves. lletvv'eeli six and seven hundred volcanoes have been counted in var- ious parts of the world. am of ihese two hundred and seventy are still on the active list. Vesuvius was si- lent for over two thousand years before it suddenly woke up and in s- troyed Pompeii. Etna is known to have been active as far back as .300 B. t}.

In Italy and in some of the, volcan- ic islands of the Pacific the steam power issuing from volcanoes has been harneSSed for engineering pur- poses. 'I‘hc people of the 'l‘iiscan town of Lardello light their streets beat their homes and do thei.‘ cookâ€" ing by means of volcanic steam pressure. which generates enough heat, to cook a joint ill loss than half an hour. In another district in Italy vol- canic energy is exploited for the purpose of [linking electricity. which is supplied to nriny towns. some of them more than fifty miles distant. The steam is carried through pipes to huge boilers where its heat converts more water still more steain which drives the! dynanios and provides central heatâ€"1 iug in many houscs'.
