A WALL or WATER.
Two Explorers Lose Their Lives In q WAY
Forty feet eei11a.

Two Explorers Lose Their Lives In Wave
Forty Feet High.
In March last two German officials
landed on the southwest coast Of the
big island OF Now Britain to explore
the island. They had gone there from
Finchhavcn, in ncighboring New
Guinea, with a considerable force Of ma
tives. No tidinss whatever have been
heard OF them since, Search parties
sent out from Finchhayen have sought
them in vain, and there is no longer
any doubt that they fell victims to \ re-
markab!e phenomenon that occurred
two or three days after they reached
the island.
On the mornin. OF March Is II sound
was heard at Finchhavcn as OF distant
thunder. A few minutes a sea rcceded
from the shore in an unheard-of man
ner, and revealed to view. six feet
above its surface. Il reef ut the harbOr
entrance that had never been seen
above water before Then the sea came
back. enormous waves dashing far up
on the land and deluging part Of the
little settlement. Awhile after fine ashes
began to sift over the coast, and the
German colonists knew there had been a
volcanic outburst northeast OF them.
Two days later the little vessel Ot-
title, sent from Finchhaven, reached
the south coast OF New Britain. eighty
miles away. The captain could not ut
first recognize the coast, though he had
seen it often. Tho aspect Of Vulcan
Island off the west end Of the big island,
had entirely altered. The top Of it had
disappeared, and it is supposed that a
volcanic eruption blew it into the sea,
and that this was one Of the causes Of
the mighty wave that spread ruin along
the south of New Britain.
This wave. judging from its effects,
is believed to have been about forty
feet high. All the villages that lined
the beach had entirely disappeared.
For ten or twelve miles along the coast
a belt of timber about thrce-quarters
OF mile wide had been swept away.
Where the force OF the wave began to

twenty to thirty feet from the ground.
Here and there on the ground were
heaped great fragments Of coral rock
and trees, and thousands OF dead fish
strewcd the ground. Many Of the ma
tivcs were killed, and others had their
limbs broken by being swept off their
feet and dashed against trees.
It is a noteworthy fact that the ma
tives who saw the wave approaching
thought it was caused by the evil spirit
in the volcano Of Akaie, and attacked
it with showers of stones and clubs just
before it engulfed them. The German
explorers, it is supposed. had not yet
started inland, and they were over
whelmed in tho common destruction.
The great wave which overwhelmed
many thousands Of people after the
eruption ut krakataua is said to have
travelled several times around tho world
It is probable that this enormous wave
at New Britain extended its effects in u
slight measure to every ocean.-N. Y.

The Eavorite Times for Suicide.

Statistics show that the months In which
the fewest suicides occur are October and
November, while the greatest number occur
in April, May and June. July and Septem-
Der also have goodly share, the latter pos
sessing a peculiar fascination for women.
This refutes the old idea that suicides occur
most frequently i'll damp and gloomy wealth
er, for the months just mentioned as being
the most prolific are certainly those i'll which
the skies look brightest and the earth is fair
est Another remarkable fact in this con-
nection is that the progressive increase and
decrease in the number of suicides coincide
with the lengthening and shortening of the
days, and, as M. Guerry has shown, not only
the seasons of the year, but the days of the
month and of the week, and even the hours
of the day, exert an influence, the constancy
of which cannot be mistaken.
As result of his elaborate research he
found that the greatest number of suicide.
among men occurred during the first ten day;
of the month, and from Monday to Thursday
of the week. This is accounted for by re
memberng that the majority of workingmer
receive their wages either on the first of the
month or the last of the week, and that "pay
day" is often followed by dissipation, de
bauchery and femorSe. OetJlngen completed
this interesting observation by showing tina
the larger number of suicides among womer
take place during the last half of the week
when they are most apt to feel the effects o.
mans prodigality aud wrongdoing. In re-
gard to the hours of the day, we know, from
Brierre de Bosmont's examination of 90;
cases of suicide in Paris, that the maximum
number occurred between 6 a. m. and noon
and thereafter regularly declined, reaching
the minimum at the hour before sunrise

ence Monthly.
