Dec. 17. ,By the Press.) - Theories that some scientific relationship might exist between r concurrent volcanic activity reported during the week from Mexico, Argentina, Chile. Italy and Japan were discredited today by geological authorities. Dr. Edmund Hovey, geologist .of the American Museum of Natural History, and a, recognized authority on volcanoes and earthquakes, said the areas of disturbances were too widely separated to have any connection.J. Edmund .Woodman, professor of geology in New York university, took the view ,that volcanic eruptions, oc , , - simultaneously In difcurring almost ferent parts of ' the worlJ, are merely coincidences. concurrent "I believe, however, that eruptions in Alaska and in the Andesa mountains of South America have certain relationship. Doubtless the same mighty forces have a hand in each of such eruptions and this might account' for simultaneous outbreaks in Chile and Mexico but would have no bearing onsimllar disturbances In Europe or Asia." The theory of Professor Woodman beregarding a probablS relationship tween disturbances in the same general range of mountains, as for. instance the great divide extending, down the western edge of North and South America, is strengthened by reports re i ceived yesterday from Buenos Aires describing eruptions in the Andes and following within a few hours other reports of disturbances from Mexico. The activity in the Andes resulted in considerable damage to the villages of Osorno, Union and San Pablo, while the Mexican disturbances was causamong the natives in ing grave fears Mexico the vicinity of City.
