Ideal conditions in Mexico for investigation of volcanic activity and earthquakes, were pointed out by Kirt F. Mather, professor of Geology, in an illustrated lecture delivered yesterday to the visiting Mexican delegation, headed by Francisco Najera, ambassador to this country.

Simultaneously with Mather's lecture it was reported that a new volcano in Mexico had erupted, building up a cone 1000 feet high and driving inhabitants from a nearby town. The University is sending an expedition today to study the developments of the new volcano.
