A. Yes; the caverns of Derbyshire and Westmoreland. They contain water strongly impregnated or filled with mineral juices, and which, as it drops, not only becomes stone itself, but petrifies every thing upon which it falls.
Q. Of what are volcanic rocks formed ?
A. Of lava, pumice-stone, and other things, which have been thrown up by the fires of a volcano ; the soil pro- duced by these particles is so rich, that although whole cities have been buried bv the burning lava, yet after a few years... another is found near its ruins. '^i^ Q. What city is near the foot of Mount Vesuvius ?
A, Naples. Many curious things are made by the Italians of the lava ; and pumice-stone is used for smoothing the n2 138 surface of wood, leather, metals, stones, glass, and other things ; it is, therefore, very valuable in trade. The dome of the church or mosque of St. Sophia at Constantinople is built of pumice-stone, for the sake of its lightness Section 2. — Mineralogy.^ Q. What are meant by the mineral productions of the earth ?
