The Reasons Why This Old Planet of Ours, With All Its Pentup Fiery, Volcanic or Gaseous Forces at Work, Could Never Be Blown to Fragments, Some writers. have accounted for the nsterotds on the theory that they are the fragments of a world that from some unknown cause has been explod- ed in its orbit. Similarly, many have thought that perhaps at some distant time, when the seas shall have been drunk up into the cracked and thick- ened crust of the age shrunken earth and the volcanoes -those vents of the fiery interior --shall bare become chok- ed and extinct, the pentup gases gener- ated from the descending moisture by the stili great internal heat may ac- tually explode the old earth like a ,veritable bombshell. But that can never happen. In 1883 Krakatoa, a sleepy old vol. cane on a small island in the strait of Sunda, between Java and Sumatra, began to show marked signs of uneasi- ness. round the volcano the quaking earth opened enormous fissures in the bottom of the sea, down which rushed Niagaras of water. Then the fissures closed and confined the engulfed flood In the hot subterranean depths. The water was quickly converted into pteam, the steam into dissociated stases, without room for expansion. It exerted a pressure equal to that of the strongest dynamte. The great, chimney of Krakatoa, sealed since the memory of man, barred the normal path of escape. Higher and higher mounted the pres- sure under the bug mass of the 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. '.Phis great cataclysm has been cited as an indication of the power of the pentup forces that may some day dis- rupt the earth itself. Let us examine the underlying principles that trust 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 burn with- out the help of atmospheric oxygen. Among the most powerful high ex- plosives are nitrogeltttin and picric acid, each of which has n density more than one and a half times• that of water. The products of their combus- tion are nearly all gaseous, whereas the. products of the cornbustion.e1{'orii1nnry black guupolydar ;ire less than half gases 3. 'rhe larger part is the solid utter that makes the smoke. }The energy that a high explosive can exert depends on the volume of the uses liberated and the temperature to which the heat of the explosion can raise them. The exact temperature of the gases liberated by n high exlilosive at the in• 5tnnt of detonation is not absolutely known. btt.t may he approximately learned through chemical experiment. Nor is tiie amount or pressure known with absolute c'ertainty. It is probable, however, thnt nitroglycerin, nitrag;eln- tin and picric acid, when detonated in a confined space. exert n pressure soipe cohere between 000.000 and 500,000 hounds to the square inch. 1f we assuiue that the earth crust has a density five titres that of crater and that Its average thickness is fifty , miles, then it follows that it exerts a pressure or more than 500,000 pounds to the square tarn; it the crust is a hundred miles thick, then the pressure Is more than n million bounds 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 trust 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's. If, then, no high explosive force is sufficient to blow up a world the size of the earth, how can worlds explode? There is only one way in which the heavenly bodies can become possessed of sufficient energy actually to blow up, and that is by collision. ° The stars are flying about In space with velocities that range all the way from five miles a second to 500 miles a second, If two celestial orbs, traveling each at a velocity of 200 miles a second, met in a head-on collision they would be fused and gasified by the impact, and the heat generated would be sufficient to break up the matter of boot into its ultimate elements and to expaitcl it Into nebulous haze. This is the way In which science says that new sans, new nebulae and new stars are bt rn.-iiud son Maxim in Youth's Companion. Sorry He Spoke.
