USES FOR VOLCANOES.
Several Industrial Products Are the
Result of Volcanic Heat.
There are few things that the in-
genuity of man is not able to turn to
some useful account. Take volcanoes
for, example.
The pigmy Andaman Islanders, in
the Indian, Ocean, get their fire frill
a volcano on one ofthe islands of that
archipelago.- A fresh supply is needed
only once .iiia_while __- because __they
know how to keep it alive indefinitely
in decayed logs. The primitive natives
of Tierra del Fuego obtain fire from
a like 'source.
Volcanoes are enormous protucers
of glass, derived . (just es we get it)
from the melting of quartz rocks. It
is a right good quality of glass, too,
though black as ink. In pre-Colum-
bian days the aborigines of Mexico
and Central -. America used it . for ra-
zors and other implements. Our own
Indians found it valuable for arrow-
heads, immense deposits of it being
found in the far West.
' Sulphur, which is so indispensable
for a great variety of purposes, is ex-
clusively- a volcanic product. Like-
wise gypsum, which, in • the form of
plaster of paras, is a necessity to
sculptors, makers of casts and many
other Industrial wotilters. Pumice -
stone, derived from volcanoes, is used
in various' arts and crafts.
The city of Naples is built of lava,
an admirable structural material.' And
for the adornment of buildings and
other valuable uses, there are ' such
beautiful stones, of volcanic manufac-
ture, as'° jasper, chalcedony, and por-
phyry. The Bible speaks of -jasper as
of ornamental ttre in heaven.
Then .there is maf•ble, which is time-

The Health -Giving Salad..
Salads are a popular summer dish.
They'shotild he made from fresh vege-
tables, which contain the health -giv-
ing elements that are so vitally' es-
sential for our physical well-being.
There are also the mineral salts,
i which help purify the blood stream,
I and thus keep us physically fit.
Eggs,' etc., that are used in prepar-
ing the dressings, have a food value
that may' be figured 'upon in our daily'
ration. Heavy salads, composed of
meat, are best to be eliminated for ,
the hot weather. Replace them with
light, dainty and attractive salads,
