The novel theory that volosako eruptions produce glacia! ep cha is advocated by Paul and Fritz Barasin, German geologists. It is estou. lated that a lowering of the mean annual tempe 2203rature by 7 dag, or 8 deg. F. would be suficient to give all the phenomens of glaciation; and the vast quantity of dast thrown off by the Krakatos eruption of 1881, and remaining suspended in the air for years, satisfied these theorists that the simultaneous eruption of many volcanoes could so veil the sun as to give the necessary slight lessening of temperature. This would make possible a new ice-age at any 1ime.
