THE EARTH CRUST

A BAR TO WORLD EXPLOSION.
The Raaaona Why Thia Old Planet of
Our*, With All It* Fentup Fi#ry,
Volcanic or Qaaaoua Forcaa at Work,
Could Navar Ba Blown to Fragmanta.
Some writers bare accounted for the
aaterolda on tbe theory thnt they are
the fragment* of a world that fmm
no mo unknown cnuse bns been explod- [
ed In Its orbit. Similarly, many have
thought that perbaira at some dlatnnt
time, when tbe seas shall have lx*on i
drunk up Into the crack?Hl and thick
ened cruat of the ape al.rnnken earth
and the Tolcanoea- those vents of the |
flery Interior --aba II biive become chok- !
ed and extinct, the pent up gaacs gener
ated from the descending moisture by
the atlll great Internal beat may ac
tually explode the old earth like a
veritable bombshell
Hut that can never happen.
In 1SS3 Krakatoa. a sleepy old vol
cano on a finiall Island In the strait
of Sunda. between Java and Sumatra,
began to show marked signs of uneasl
ness Round the volcano the quaking
earth o|>enod enortnoua Assures In the
bottom of the sea. down which rushed
Niagaras of wnter Then the fissures
cloned and con lined the engulfed flood
In the hot subterranean depth*. The
water was quickly converted Into
ateiim. the steam Into dissipated
pises. without room for expansion.
It exerted a pressure equal to that
of the str-ongest d.vnamte.
Tbe grvnt chimney of Krnkatoa.
sealed since the memory of man.
barred the normal path of escape
Higher and higher mounted tbe pre*
sure under tbe huge mass of tt? vol
cano: then, of a sudden, came a blast
that actually shook the earth Never
before In historic time had there been
such a shock The whole top of the old
mountain was blown Into the sky. The
recoil was distinctly felt clear through
the terrestrial ball.
This preat cataclysm has been cited
as an Indication of the power of the
pentnp fon-es that may some day dla
rnpt the earth Itself l et ns examine
the underlying principle* that must
guide us In passing Judgment on the
correctness of this theory.
An explosive compound Is a combust
Ible combined mechanically or chem
ically either with oxygen or with an
oxidizing substance that will buru with
out the help of atmospheric oxygen
Among the most powerful hlgb ex
plosives are nltrngclatln and picric
aold. each of which has a density more
tban one and a half times that of
water. The products of their combus
tion are nearly all gaseous, whereas the
products of tbe combustion of ordinary
black gunpowder are less than half
gaseous Tbe larger part Is the solid
matter that makes the smoke
The energy that a high explosive can
exert depends on the volume of the
gases liberated and the temperature to
which the heat of tbe explosion can
raise theiu I
The exact temperature of the cases
liberated by a high explosive at the In
atant of detonation Is not absolutely
known, but may be approximately
learned through chemical experltueuL
Nor la the amount of pressure known
with absolute certainty It Is probable,
however, that nitroglycerin, nltrogela
tin and picric acid, when detonated In
a confined s|?ace. exert a pressure some
where between 300.0110 and 500.000
pounds to the square Inch.
If we assume tLa? the earth crust
Das a density Ave times that of water
and that Its average thickness Is fifty
miles, then It follows that It exerts a
pressure of more than 500.000 pounds
to the square Incb: If the crust la a
hundred mllea thick, then the pressure
Is more than a million pounds to the
square Inch a pressure certainly great
er than the expansive force exerted by
the most powerful high explosive
Plainly, no quantity of high explosive
detonated under the crust of the earth
would be able to lift It and consequent
ly we know that no world of the size
of the earth can ever explode from Its
own pentup Internal force*.
If, theu, no bigb explosive force Is
sufficient to blow up a world the slK
of the earth, how can worlds explode?
Tbere Is only one way In which tbs
heavenly bodies can become possessed
of sufficient energy actually to blow
up, and that Is by collision.
The stars arc flying about Id apace
with velocities that range all the way
from five miles a second to 600 miles a
second.
If two celestial orbs, traveling eacb
at a velocity of 200 miles a second, met
In a bead on collision they would be
fused and gasified by tbe Impact and
the beat generated would be sufficient
to break up the matter of both Into Its
ultimate elements and to expand It Into
nebulous bate. This Is the way In
which science says that new suns, new
nebulae and new stars are born.? Hud

Trade At Home
ria a hard thing to 'convince some people, who have acquired the
mail order habit, that it is to their advantage to trade at home. The
green fields far away appeal to them, so they send their money out of
town for something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money is thus gone where they, n any one
of the community, will ever see it again, and where it can .1 nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or thrtnands of
milM away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests ofiha commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of thein send away for
the?r printing, while at the same time argue against'mail order businaes.
