This is in the AP headline list this morning:

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- Researchers have
installed a seismometer atop an active volcano
called Kick 'em Jenny under the Caribbean
Sea to warn of eruptions or earthquake activity,
scientists said Saturday.

The device allows scientists to collect real-time
rumbling from tremors or as bubbling magma
and gases are released from the volcano,
about 820 feet beneath the sea's surface
off Grenada's northwest coast.

How coal is formed: "Benjamin Franklin proved an important scientific
point, which is that electricity originates inside clouds. There, it
forms into lightning, which is attracted to the earth by golfers.
After entering the ground, the electricity hardens into coal, which,
when dug up by power companies and burned in big ovens called
"generators," turns back into electricity, which is sent in the form
of "volts" (also known as "watts," or "rpm" for short), through
special wires with birds sitting on them to consumers' homes, where it
is transformed by TV sets into commercials for beer, which passes
through the consumers and back into the ground, thus completing what
is known as a "circuit.""

Since you see taken with the Southern Americas, could ypou find out if
Choutte or a team working on his stuff has analised the A notes he
observed in volcanoes about to erupt with the state of the sea level
air pressures in the local or adjacent ocean basins.

The unreal, useless quotients imposed on the world by the quasi
religious academics who declare el ninos or whatever state of the
oscillation the Pacific is allegedly in, is probably hopelessly
inadequate for that purpose though.

Try the AP - they're the ones who did the story, perhaps because they
loved the name of the volcano; after all, there is ongoing and new
monitoring going on at other volcanoes above and below sea level, but
even with the monitoring of Mount St. Helen the news people don't
focus over much on the technical aspects.  And they didn't seem aware
(in that article, anyway) of the tsunami risk, so it likely isn't
that, though that would be a very topical and newsworthy story/series
of stories.

"`Bosh,' answered Grant. `I never said a word against eminent men of
science. What I complain of is a vague popular philosophy which
supposes itself to be scientific when it is really nothing but a sort
of new religion and an uncommonly nasty one. When people talked about
the fall of man they knew they were talking about a mystery, a thing
they didn't understand. Now that they talk about the survival of the
fittest they think they do understand it, whereas they have not merely
no notion, they have an elaborately false notion of what the words
mean. The Darwinian movement has made no difference to mankind, except
that, instead of talking unphilosophically about philosophy, they now
talk unscientifically about science.'

`That is all very well,' said the big young man, whose name appeared
to be Burrows. `Of course, in a sense, science, like mathematics or
the violin, can only be perfectly understood by specialists. Still,
the rudiments may be of public use...'"
