EXPLORATIONS.
Problem is to Ascertain the Nature of

Many People.
Especial to The Post.)

Washington June Io.--Ever since his
return from Martinique. Prof Robert T.
Hill has been busy arranging and classify
ing the specimens Of rock, volcanic dust
etc, which he collected during his explora-
tons OF the devastated district He is
now about ready to begin the work Of
making an analysis OF the various exhibits
of the collection, The great scientific
problem to be solved now, he says, is to
ascertain the nature of the gas which de-
scended from Mont Pelee ard helped to
kill so many people.
"A great deal Of this work" said Prof
Hill today, can be done BY calculations
based on the conditions known to exist
before the eruption occurred. The stones
which were blown into the air viii help
when analysed But VIC expect to get the
best results from studying the dust We
shall have cross sections made from each
Of the stones, even tho pieces OF ordinary
rock torn from its foundation and thrown
into the air. With the results of these
analyses known. VIC shall possibly have
made some progress In determining the
true nature of this gas.

vailing in the Caribbean sea during this
period OF disturbance was made at a
most favorable time Yet ! do not know

DAY A MERCHANT;
NIGHT A BURGLAR
Philadelphia Business Man
Charged by Police With
Many Robberies

Philadelphia, Dec. 3. - The police
last night Civulged the identity OF a
mysterious prisoner who has been un-
der surveillance at a hospital since
Tuesday night of last week, when
he was arrested by Policeman Carroll
after a desperate encounter lasting
over an hour. The man gave his namo
as Charles Westcott. Ths@etective de-
partment learned that "Westcott'' is in
reality George Dickinson, a notorious
burglar who has been in prison in
Charleston, S. c.; Trenton, N. j.; Bos-
ton and this city. Dickinson is also
junior member of the firm Of Weyl &
Dickinson, of this city, manufacturers
of novelties in shirts and waists.
On the night of November % Police
man Carroll observed Dickinson acting
suspiciously on the front piazza OF a
West Philadelphia residence and at
tempted to arrest him. During the en-
counter the burglar secured possession
of Carrolrs revolver and shot the po-
liceman in the foot Both men are
powerful, and for more than an hour
they struggled to gain the mastery.
Carroll finally bore his opponent to the
ground just as assistance arrived.
Then he tainted from loss of blood and
exhaustion Dickinson's body was a
mass of bruises, and his head and face
we're terribly lacerated as a result of
the beating administered by Carroll
Both men have since been in a hospi
tai.
During their investigation the detec
tives unearthed Dickinson's room and
recovered from the apartment s2.5OC

WHO'LL DRAW THE BILLq

There is little doubt that a majority
OF the taxpayers OF Delaware demand
a system OF road improvement Why
should they be denied? In the plat
form of the three political parties are
good roads resolutions. Now who shall
deny them their wish?
The only thing remaining, appar-
emily, Is for somebody TO draw a bill
wise in its provisions, suited to the
peculiar needs Of Delaware. and which
contemplates reasonable economy.
Who will do itg Here is a chance for
fame that shall outlive the memory Of
governors and congressman.
II is customary in drawing such
measures 20 copy them almost literally
from the laws OF other States, but to
suit us, the machinery must be simple
and our particular needs must be kept
In mind. There is no necessity for
raising great sums fer prosecuting the
work; probably moneys we now
raise, il properly expended, would be
sufficient
There was an elaborate bill present
ed to the Legislature two years ago,
which contained many good points,
but which failed. probably because it
contemplated too many high salaried
officers, and too elaborate machinery.
We are not certain that roads bill is
necessary anyway. The Levy Courts
OF the respective counties could employ
competent engineers, and expend the
moneys in themanner required without
any act OF Legislature. II is doubtful
whether il should be a matter for
State control, unless the State proposes
to appropriate funds for tine work But
while we are in the proper frame OF
mind let us secure the good roads We
have been wishing for, with OF without
State aid.
