aid of a mysterious compound, known only to
himself produced as a result of the years he
has spent in searching for this precious life
giving boon, to cure any and every disease
that is known to the human body. There is
no doubt of the doctors earnestneSs in making
his claim and the remarkable cures that he is
daily e~ffecting seems to bear him out very
strongly. His theory which he advance is one
of reason and based on sound experience in
medical practice of many years. 1t costs moth

he calls it, for he sends it free, to anyone who
vince of it's ability to cure, so thereis absolutely

would hardly be credited. The lame have
thrown away crutches and walked about after
two or three trials of the remedy. The sick,
given up by home doctors, have been restored
to their families ana friends in perfect health.
Rheumatism, neuralgia, stomach, heart, liver,
kidney, blood and skin diseases and bladder

THE STATUE OF R~OCHAMBEAU.

Correspondence OF The Progressive Farmer.
An event, important not only
from the fact that it will more
strongly cement the ties of friend
ship between the United States and
France, her sister republic, but be-
cause it will serve TO bring into
stronger light a historical episode
which should not be lost sight of by
the American people, will OCCUR in

of Jean Baptiste de Vimour, Comte
de Rochambeau.
There are few school children in
this country who could not instantly
relate the valuable services which
the Marquis de Lafayette rendered
TO this republic in the hour of her
trial but it is doubtful if as many
are familiar with the services of
Comte de Rochambeau whoee timely
assistance contributed so largely to
the success of the American forces
at Yorktown and rendered final the
defeat of the British on American
soil. And yet, while Lafayette came
TO the assistance of this country as a
private individual and in a private
capacity, Rochambeau came as the
representative of his government
and brought with him 5000 troops.
1t is, therefore, most appropriate
that the governments should do all in
it's power TO honor the memory of
thu valiant soldier who rendered
such valuable service so Washington

been announced at the State Depart
ment, it is evident that no pains will
be spared IN the effort TO so conduct

with the multitude. Steamships
from Fort de France and from other
nearby islands are removing the
survivorsin the Vicinity of ST. Pierre,
and T carrying provisions for the
shelterless and homeless thousands.
France is contributing literally for
the destitute, officially and individ-
ually aid of money and food will
also be needed from the United States,
and President Roosevelt has sent a
message to Congress urging that an
appropriation of $500, 900 be made f; a
naval vessel with supplies will start
for Martinique at once.
The island of ST. Vincent, an Eng
lish possession, has suffered only less
severely than Martinique. A so
called sympathetic eruption from
the volcano of La Soufriere destroyed
some five or seven hundred people
very likely more, for reports are as
yet quite incomplete. A despatch
from st, Lucia says of st. Vincent:
1.-THE confguration of the mountain
is entirely changed. Estates, chapels,
and everything in the vicinity of the
volcano are buried in lava. In some
cases entire families persisted"
THE CAUSE OF VOLCANIC EXPLOSIONS.
Scientists r far from agreeing as
to aus which produce such terrible
commissions Of the earth's surface
with the accompanying earthquakes,
volcanic explosions and tidal waves.
1t is probable, in fact, that different
causes are at work. One theory
which seems to be gaining ground
is that the vast deposits of q great
river system (the Mississippi, for in
stance, drops enormous weights of
soil not very far from the West In.
dian volcanic region) constantly by
pressure force new matter into a
furnace-like depository of molten
rocks many miles below the surface !;
that the molten mass is thus forced
upward through immensely deep
crevtces existing in volcanic regions
and left there in early stages Of geo.
logic formation; that the molten
mass encounters either subterranean
lakes or foods of water which has
percolated from the sea !; that thus
an enormous volume of steam is
generated and that when this steam
power becomes sufficiently strong,
some volcano or volcanoes "blow off
their heads, as the expression goes,
with such results as we have above
recorded. The basic molten lava is
thought to exist some thirty miles
below the earth g surface. The strain
of the pressure before the explosion
is such that great rocks r torn and
ground to powder by the superheated
steam, and often this powder is a
ried for an immense distance. In
the case of the KrakatoG explosion
of 1883, for months, and at a distance
of thousands of miles, peculiar red
skies were observed, caused by this
fine dust in the upper atmosphere.
Earthquakes almost always precede
or follow eruptions, and r then evil
IDENTIFY results of the same general
phenomena. More than half of the
earth's volcanoes are on islands, and
most of the others are near the coast
"a fact indicating pretty clearly
that the sea has an important part in
preparing the forces which cause the
explosion. Gravjtation acting on
enormous masses of matter. is also a
chief agent, and it's work in this
direction is really a continuing of the
geological formation of the world -

''If the State has the right TO tax
the people TO educate the children of
the State" says Prot. G E Vawter,
of the Miller School, "then it surely
should use the money in that way
which will give the State the results.
1t should educate our children to
ward what they have TO do in life,
not away from it. There is no deny
ing the fact that our present scholas-
tic education tends TO draw our oh1I-
dren away from industrial pursuits.
Surely the object of public education
should be TO enable our children TO
become good, useful, honest, loyal
citizens, and TO equip them for the
ife-work that lies before them"
