VOLCANIC ACTIVITY, A Theory to Espials the Soaroe asd Cause or Eruption*. In a volume on volcanoes Professor C. Hoeller undertakes to tell why volcanoes have eruptions. Melted rock such so is flung from Vesuvius reqnlrt-s a temperature of l.fksi degre<w Fahren belt, so that it becomes liquid only far down in the earth, perhaps sixty or a hundred miles. Below the outer crust of cooled and solidified rocks there Bti’t Is- a Urge sone of ro k whi<Jj wtilj remains solid because Its temix-rature is less than that of the melting point corresponding to the pressure unde* which it rests, u..d bHow that again there iuuat be rock or magma in a state cd fusion, it is to thU magma that I’rofisesor ls» .t.-r looks for the primary source of all volcanic activity At the same time the depth at which thia primary rvwervoir of magma lies and the pressure under Which It is coo fined ar* so great that a direct eruption i from It is lueouceivable. but when, by mmi-tneuts in the overlying crust or otbi-rw lse, a < Uanuel is opened the magma may rise to a depth where it ia surrouudisi by reck at a lower temperature than the melting p<> nt In these cirt uuistanee* *olId;fl. ation lieglna.

" HABITS OF SQUIRRELS. r» ■ew These Little Animals of the For--1 eat «arv»ve Winter. While certain members of the aquir- * rei tribe store tbeir winter s supply of food In hollow trees, I think most of ' them hide It on the ground, under old roots, brush piles and even beneath heaps of deud leaves. Their tracks in the winter woods seem to bear this out. While It may b« that thia frequency . of the tracks indicates a scarcity of , i food and the 'raveling about a desir* , to firn! a suppiy, I believe in the maiu , I that th'-se outings of tbe squirrels iiava j a definite destination, because wheu ( ' you ara them skip across the snow. t stop short and scratch a hole down to the grotinii. bringing up a supply of f I nut* or eones placed there In the month of plenty, you are apt to attribute tbeir lus k more to n good tuemury than to , any liaph.ixnrd spc'ulation. Os the squirrel family the most prominent l:i winter G the black Ils . seem* to lie flowing over all the tiina with pent-up energy, which keeps hu» in constant motion, aud you sometimes feci that you would like him to he abl* .' to talk and tell you bow pleasant It l» J to have the joy which flows from a glad heart. Now watch him jump front . limb to limb, rush headlong down th# , trunk and ewunw across tbe snow in long, graceful bounds, with no appar . ent purpose but to exhibit the bappiaess within Mm. His red cousin one* In awhile may *»e seen at the entrance to Ll* home In th* height* of some tree, but In him no sign of eiult ion. He looks around , for spring to come and clear away th* I snow, and no amount of coaxing will cause him to utter a not* of w-olding or alarm Not all the red squirrel*, however, keep to th* trees. Many of them through want of foot! have to , take to the earth, ant! their track in the deep snow ia a heavy floundering of Libon-d lioutii!* as they eo from tree to tree In search of the scanty provision* bidden lieneath the anrfitce. Here and there we find the g imsuy scale* of the pine eones. the shell* of the acorn, tb* **••■l r- ne* of ti.c birch ami cedar, scattered about on tbe snow, showing t'»« (nod on which they subsist. In greater eoutrsat to the delicacies just named, often one will fl ad during long and rere winters that the squirrel* have attacked the hemlock tree* by stripping them of their bitter ’«*!i W hen one ; flml* this, ft l« evidence of great want, snd a merciful act wo-.-ld l>e to bring »<->(;,* fiwv! and scatter it ah- it to aa»u th-- pans* of hnnget wl ch the®* , litu<- fellow* ar* enduring. -Recreation.
