WORSE THAN POMPEH.
Famous Expert on the Eruption OF
Mont PeIee,

' anouS Expert OF LnC EFuPIlOH OF
Mont Pelee.
New York, May ga. o. Hoover,
of the American Museum of Natural
History, who went to Martinique ON
the cruiser Dixie, to examine the yols
canic phenomena, cables The Herald
from Castries, st. Lucia:
"St. Pierre can only be compared to
Pompeii. The devastation and desolae
tion are even worse.
"It is evident that tornado of SUI.
locating gas wrecked the buildings, as.
phyxiated the people, fire then com.
pleting the ruin. This accords with
the statement which has been made
that asphyxiation of the inhabitants
preceded the burning of the city, the
gas being sulphuretted hydrogen, ig.
nited by lightning or the fires in the
city. The same tornado drove the
ships in the roadstead to the bottom OF
the sea or burned them before they
could escape. This comes nearer to
being a sheet of flames than anything
heretofore reported fl ON any volcano.
Mud was fGfn CO n two ways-1y
the mixture in the atmosphere Of dust
ami condensed steam and by clarc.
bursts on the upper dust covered
slopes Of the cone washing down vast
quantities of fine, light dust.
The great emission of suffocating
gas and the typical cloudburst explo-
sion, with the resulting streams of
mud, are among the new features
which Pelee has added to the scientific
knowledge of volcanoes"

United States cruiser Cincinnati ar
rived here from st. Lucia yesterday.
The steamer Luckenbach arrived this
morning and left at once for Porto
RICO. The steamer Fontabelle reach
ed here at O'clock this morning with
l5O tons of supplies from the cham

other citizens. Among her passengers
are W. H. COrwine, who was specially
named by President Roosevelt as sec
retary OF the various bodies in the
United States contributing for the re-
lief OF the sufferers; Professor Angelo
Heilprin and other scientists. Mr.. Cor
wine and Captain Scott, b4ther of
Chief Oficer Scott, of the Roraima
were presented to Governor PHuerre
and the French delegates tNday. The
steamer TOrpaze has been Blaced at
the disposal Of Mr. Corwine to visit
ST. Vincent. Her cargo will be dis
charged Monday.
Professor Robert T. Hill. the emf
nent geologist, with his party, has
chartered a steamer and is carefully
studying the volcano from the sea.
George Kennan, with a land party, is
examining the northern part of the is
land.
Mont Pelee was fairly quiet yester-
day, although there was big eruption
north Of the island The new crater is
active.
Mr.. Corwine has investigated the
method employed in the distribution Of
supplies and has informed Governor
IHuerre that he considers it excellent
1t is expected official notification will
be issued that sufficient supplies have
been received.
Most of the refugees who have come
into Fort de France have deserted

The French delegates, Admiral Ser.
van and the citizens are unanimous in
expressions of gratitude for the genu.
inc friendship of the American people,
| which has been manifested by the
swiftness with which great quantities
of supplies have been furnished and
| forwarded and the character of the
delegates in charge of them.
Fort de France looks deserted. Near.
ly 1000 persons have gone to the is.
lands of Guadalupe, Dominica and St.
Lucia, and as many more are trying to
get away. The simple object of all
| minds is to escape from the island.
The scientists are divided in opin.
ion as to whether or not new and more
violent Outbursts are to be expected.
A majority of them think volcanic en-.
| ergy will be displayed for a long time,
but that no further loss of life will
occur, as there are no large places left
to be destroyed, and Fort de France,
they say, is absolutely safe from any
possible outburst of Mont Pelee.

Last Bulletin.
London, Aug. 12.-The festivities In
london were continued yesterday.
There were considerable crowds almost
all day long in the vicinity Of Bucking-
ham palace and along the route of Sat-
urday's procession, viewing the decora-
tons and watching the flow of notable
p~ersonages to and from the various
thanksgi ying services.
In spite Of the welcome announcement
made Saturday night hat King Ed

corning his health was awaited with q
certain degree Of anxiety. The bulletin
is as follows:
His majesty bore the strain Of the
coronation ceremony perfectly we'll and
experienced but little fatigue. The
king had a good night and his condition
is in every way satisfactory. No fur
Their bulletin will be issued"
After the posting of the bulletin there
was still some doubt as to whether his
majesty would drive out during the
day, but the small crowd which re-
to see the sovereign, was finally re-
varded by the appearance Of the king
and queen. Their majesties drove along
the Mall to st. James palace without re-
ceiving any notable demonstration from
the people. Tickets to the chapel royal
had been sparcely granted. The service
was very simple and there was no ser.

OIL" j..
After this oil was put in the palms OF
the kings hands and the amounting was
complete.
Then the came to its ch-
max. The archbishop OF Canterbury
and the bishops advanced to where the
king sat and the archbishop very SLOW
" placed the crown on the kings heau.
There was absolute silence and then
the moment the crown touched the
kings brow every n shouted loudlv
and we'll together. "God save the king.
The heralds blew their trumpets n
outside guns fired a salute. At the
same moment the peers and the kings
alarms put on their c%oronets.
The archbishop Of York hen crowned
the queen in much the same manner
as the king had beer crowned, but with
a less elaborate ritual. :,
AS the crown was placed On her head
all the peeresses put on their coronets
Then came an interesting incident.
In passing to her throne, which she
took without further ceremony, n
queen bowed low before the king III
token of homage.
The departure Of the king and queen
from the abbey was signaled by an
other salute, the massed bands play
ing God Save the King" The entire
route of their majesties' return to the
PALACE was marked by
Scenes Of Enthusiasm
similar to those which greeted their
progress to the abbey, the more circuit
u route through Clubland and Con-
stitution hill giving the hundreds OF
thousands of persons occupying the
stands, windows and roofs an oppor-
tunity Of greeting the new crowned
king and his consort before they re-
entered Buckingham palace, which they
did in the midst Of remarkable scenes
of enthusiasm, the entire crowd from
Constitution hill downward joining IN
singing the national anthem.
Shortly after the return OF the klhs
end queen to the palace it was ofncial-
ly announced from there that the kln8
had borne the ceremony we'll, and tnat
he had suffered in 40 way from fatigue
and this was confirmed by the presence
of the king himself, when, In response
to the repeated plaudits Of the crowds
his majesty, accompanied by the queen.
appeared on the balcony in their ropes
and rowns The faces of both were
sufrused with smiles as they bowed re-
peatedly their recognition OF the
warmth Of the applause.
While the coronation was being SOL
emnized in London celebrations n re-
joicings were carried on throughout the
colonies, numerous kilograms to the
king conveyed the congratulations OF
representative bodies everywhere, sa-
lutes were fired, and church services
were held. Australia confined itself to
religious services, having spent all the
money gathered for the postponed
event Of June rs for charities. Similar
services were held by the British COM
munities in all the European capitals
end chief cities of the continent.

FLAX NOT INJURIOUS.
Prof. BOlley Says Wheat Thrives on
Soil Cropped to Flax.

sui 10 AHA.
Fargo, N. D., Aug. 1S. - Prof. II.
L. Bolley OF the North Dakota agricul-
tural college is out with a positive dec
laration that fax crops do not injure the
land, as so frequently claimed by m
and grain men. Tests at the experiment
station here have proved that the best
crops of wheat are grown on land cropped
to flax the preceding year. The fact that
flax will not do well on the same land
two or more years in succession Is due
to the fax wilt fungus with which the
soil becomes infected and the plants or
succeeding crops are affected, while the
fungus does not damage such plants as
wheat. The Investigations Of the pro-
fessor have been thorough and are at
tracing attention among grain growers
The professor discovered a method of pre-
venting scab on potatoes and developed
the plan Of treating seed wheat for the
prevention of smut. His declaration is
regarded as authoritative.
