ABSORBED GASES AND VULCANISM. TO THE EDITOR OF SCIENCE: The descriptions of the spine of Mont Peleby Hovey and Heil-prin remind me of thephenomenon I observed some ten years ago, when my mind was on the subject of the part which the original absorbed gases play in vulcanism, as discussed in my paper in the Bulletin of the Geol. Soc. Am., March 3, 1894. I had a bottle of Werner's grape milk packed in the place of the tin of an ice cream freezer, the same having served its purpose, in order to cool it. Ipresume anly other carbonated beverage would work similarly. Though chilled well below 0 C. the beverage remained clear and unfrozen, as long as it wascorked, but upon removing the cork the gas began to escapeand freezing to set in rapidly. Sometimes nearly thewhole contents of the bottle would freeze. Upon one occasion, however, Iremember seeing a'volcanic plug'of frozen matter forced out in a round cylinder from the neck. I am inclined to think that there may be a very closeanalogy with the Mont Pele spine. I think it would not be very difficult to repro-duce this phenomenon, though I can not tell the exact temperature at which it occurred. ALFRED C. LANE.SHORTER ARTICLES. THE HEREDITY OF'ANGORA'COAT IN MAMIMALS. THAT Mendel's law is a fundamental prin-ciple of heredity becomes daily clearer as new illustrations of its workingscome to light, either through a reexamination of theolder observatioiis on heredity or through the per-formance of new experiments. One of these new illustrations it is the purpose of this note briefly to describe.
