Fish Ejected by Volcanoes. The stories of dead fish thrown out by volcanoes have been revived by the recent West Indian catastrophes. In particular, great quantities of them are reported to have been cast into the sea from the Island of St. Vincent. It is pointed out by a French expert, M. Girardin, that these fish are sim- ply the denizens of the lakes formed in the craters during their long peri- ods of inactivity. A crater first be- comes clogged, then fills with water, and the water is in time peopled with fish that find access to it through sub- terranean channels. When volcanic activity is resumed the first thing that occurs is an explosion that blows the lake—water, fish and all—into the air, and distributes it over the neighbor- ing land and water surface.—Success.
