about ninety-five miles west of Bar
BADGES. Volcanic hills cross the island
from north to south, intersected by
beautiful and fertile valleys.
st. Vincent is eighteen miles long
and eleven miles wide, and it has 4
population of nearly fifty thousand
persons. 1t was discovered by Column
bus in 149S. The island is more thor.
oughly English than the two others
of the group. Great Britain obtained
sovereignty in 1888.
Historic among the volcanic erup.
tions on the Caribbee islands was that
of the Soufriere ('sulphur pit'O; of st.
Vincent, in 1912. Earthquakes had for
two years terrified dwellers on the
South American coast and the West
Indian Islands. In March Of that year
an earthquake buried ten thousand
souls at Caracas, spread ruin along
the line Of the Andes, and ended in the
outburst from the Soufriere. which
altered the appearance of the island
and destroyed its eastern end.
The Soufriere is situated at the north
ern extremity of the island, and is
404S feet high. 1t is the last of a
mountain chain which was called
Morne a Garou by the natives Baron
Humboldt states that it had thrown
out flames in 171S.
Previous to the eruption of 1912 the
appearance of the Soufriere was most
interesting. The crater was half a mile
in diameter and five hundred feet in
depth In its centre was a conical hill,
frlnged with shrubs and vines. At its
base were two small lakes, one sui.
phurous, the other pure and tasteless.
From the assures of the cone a thin
white smoke exuded, occasionally
tinged with light blue flame.
Evergreens, flowers and aromatic
shrubs clothed the steep sides of the
crater which sent, as the first indi-
cation Of the eruption of April 81, a
tremulous noise in the air. 4 severe
conclusion of the earth followed, and
then a column of thick black smoke
burst from the crater.

Mineral Resources of Palestine.

A German mining engineer travelling
in Palestine has written to the Kirch-
offs Technische Blatter to the effect
that now that mineral treasures have
been found In the country that an in
dustrial awakening Is assured. As yet,
he says, travelling is very unsafe. The
mineral deposits lie on both sides of
the Jordan and the Dead Sea- OF
them he thinks the salt deposits Of the
Dead Sea could alone be developed
into an extensive industry, but that,
in addition to them, there are the btu
minous chalk springs Of Nebl Musa,
which contain from twenty to forty
per cent Of asphalt. However. he
thinks the most important Of all are
the deposits Of phosphates. There are
immense fields Of these, lie says, to
the east and west of tho Jordan, only
awaiting transportation facilities for
their development.

Men couldn't steam across the sea,
A hundred years ago..
And money wasn't all they thought
Worth having here below;
They had no elevators then
To hoist them through the air,
And yet they thought, the poor old guys
That they were wonderful and wlsas
And that the world was fair.
Men couldn't talk by telephone,
A hundred years ago:
They sowed and reaped and thrashed by
hand.
And when the streams were low.
They had to stop the mills and wait
For Gods good rain to fall.
And vet they proudly went about
With heads held high and chests pushed
out.
And thought they knew it all.
Their battleships were made of wood,
A hundred years ago.
And oh the weak old ways they had
For laying people low! -,
They had no lightning trains on Whicn
To fit athwart the scene.
And vet these poor. benighted men
Supposed that things were perfect then
Alas but they were green!
Men had to load each time they shot,
A hundred wears ago
And then. ALAS they had no gas
To light things here below!
There were no trolley cars to dodge
No horseless thines to tame
And vet. poor fools they thought that

and was gone.
Next day the Bulletin came out with
an interview with the great Halifax

and an exposure of his infamy. Peo-

read it, and wondered how such wild
statement could have squeezed itself
