SUPREME JUDGE PITNEY
IN PRIVATE SANATARIUM
Morristown, N. J., Sept. 22.—Jus
tice Pitney of the Supreme court of
the United States is a guest at a pri
vate sanatarium in this city.
Mt. Katmai Is Benefactor to
Humanity, Says Dr. White
. At Conference In Boston
Washington, Sept. 22.—It might
be a surprise to many to be told
that the flre-spitting, lava-spout
ing, earth-rocking volcano is one or
mankind's best friends rather than
his arch enapiv, but such is the
surprising declaration which was ex
plained to the conference of geo
graphy of the National Educational
Association la Boston last mouth.
The most tremendous volcanic
eruption of history, that of Mount
Katmai in Alaska, inv1912, was
described by Dr. Robert F. Grigga,
leader of several parties sent to the
scene of the cataclasm by *the Na
tional Geographic so'.isty, and who
discovered the Valley of Ten
Thousand Smokes, Katmai's neigh
bor wonder of nature.
Mankind's debt to the volcano has
been more fully recognized by results
of recent researches, says a bulletin
of the society describing the upheav
al. Without volcanoes, It is now be
lieved. there would be no ocean, and
to volcanoes we are Indebted for
carbon dioxide, without which human
life could not exist.
The explosion of Katmai, the con
ference was told, was unnoticed be
cause It was so far from the centers
of civilization. Had the eruption oc
curred near New York City, the bul
letin declares, the sulphurous fumes
would have polluted the air every
where east of the Rocky mountains:
the noise would hive reverberated
like an artillery duel across tire
central western 6tates. The lower
Hudson itself would have been turn
ed Into a gigantic tomb.
However, due to the lack of popu
| latlon in that tar region, there was
no loss of life, and the eruption pro
vides scientists and geographers now
one of their greatest opportunities
to study the phenomenon of vol
canic action.
Though generally unaware of the
eruption until long after, every In
habitant of the country, and almost
of the world, felt its effects, one of
which was the cold, damp summer of
1912. This was caused by the Inter
ception of sunlight by the long hang
ing dust cloud in the upper air. Even
it was declared, the sky was over
cast.
An area around Katmal larger th'an
the state of Delaware, was covered |
that summer by more than a foot of
volcanic ash which was enough to
destroy all but the hardiest of veg
etation. When the explosion occurred
two cubic miles were blown off the I
top of the mountain, and the present
whereabouts of the mountain top is|
still a mystery to scientists.
The Valley of Ten Thousand
Smokes, from which arises virtually
millions of steam jets a scene of
unsurpassed awe and beauty, is be
lieved to have been an aftermath of
the cataclysm.
President Wilson turned aside from
the stress of war to make this re
gion a national monument second to
none in the' world. While the coun -
try is so remote that the few white
men who have viewed its wonders
have been members of the society's
expeditions, the educators were told
it is easily accessible from the shel
tered bay christened in honor of the
society, and a fifty mile roadway
will some day place it within the
compass of the automobile touriat.
