REACHED PELEE'S CRATER
Professor Heilprin Looked Down In
to the Vast Chasm.
ae Found o cindsr Cone In the Centre %
the Pii-Showers OF Mud Fell Upon
Hlm.His observations.

Fort de France. Island Of Martin:
ique.-ProfessOr Angelo Heilprin. with
three guides, has ascended to the top
of the crater on the summit Of Mont
Pelee. He went to the plantation
Viye, which Is near the crater. In COM
pany with Ferdinand Clerc and Mr.
Reid. landed pTopriators Of Martinique.
The exDeditiOn left Fort de France
on Thursday ut noon. Friday was
spent In studying the newly formed
cra;ers Oh the north flank Of the noun
tain. Saturday morning Professor
HeiipTin determined to attempt the
ascent to the top Of the crater. and
with this purpose In view lie set out
at 5 O'Clock. The volcano was very
active. but amid II thousand dangers
Professor Heilprin reached the'sumnn
and looked down into the huge crater.
Here he spent some time In taxing
careful observations.
He saw a huge cinder cone In the
centre OF the crater. The opening OF
the crater itself is a vast creyice jO0
feet long and 100 feet wide. While
Profe ssor Heilprin was on the summit
OF the volcano several explosions OF
steam and C5ndcr-laden vapor took
place. and again and again iis life
was In danger. Ashes fell about him
IN such quantities ut times as to com.
plctely obscure his vision. One par.
ticulnrly violent explosion Of mud Gov.
cred Professor Heilprin from head to
foot with the hideous viscid and semi.
solid matter thrown out.
Professor HeiIprin still persisted In
his study and observations. however.
and twice more he was showered with
mud. He learned, rs had been sus-
pected, that there were three separate
vents through which steam issued.
Professor HeIlprin made the impor.
ant discovery that the crater at the
head OF the River Fallaise has syn.
chronous eruptions with the crater at
the summit Of the volcano. and that II
elects precisely the same matter at
such times. The River Fallaise crater
and the crater ut the summit showed
during Professor Heilprin's visit new
| phenomenon. Mod was thrown up In
| high columns. Heretofore the mud
has dubbed or boiled out and flowed
downward in huge streams. In the
course of one eruption Of the River
Fallaise crater an enormous mass OF
intensely hot mud was elected. This
fOw reached the rum distillery on the
Vive plantation and extinguished all
| the fires there. This torrent Of mud
may invade the entire plantation. and
as Vive Is the centre Of one Of the rich.
est districts Of the island. 1t Is feared
the damage there may be great.
Professor Hei!prln arrived at the
edge OF the summit crater at 1.30 and
remained there over two hours. When
he returned to Vive he resembled q
statue OF mud. The weight Of ashes
and mud he carried on his person. the
horrible atmosphere he had breathed.
and the fearful difficulties he en-
countered reduced Professor Heilprin
to q condition OF extreme fatigue.

FIRE At RockAWAY BEACH.


four Lives Lost and Two Blocks De-
stroycd-Loss, St35y0o0.
New York CIty.-Four lives were lost,
several people severely burned and
two blocks In the seaside district Of
Rockaway Beach. In the heart OF the
musement centre of the resort, have
been destroyed by fire. That the whole
section given up to hotels and amuse-
ment PLACES Of various kinds for a long
distance south was not totally de.
stroyed was attributed to the fact that
there was little wind. and to the work
Of the volunteer fremen. assisted by
hundreds OF residents OF the village.
In the two blocks destroyed were
several hotels and n number Of large
dancing and dining halls. including the
Casino and the museum. two OF the
largest structures ut ROckaway Beach.
The fire was attended by several res.
cues on the part Of the policemen and
firemen. and many other lives were
saved by their efforts and judgment.
The property loss. estimated at $l2J..
600. represents nearly the entire capital
OF many Of the proprietors. as the Ia.
surance Is less than One-thiEd on all the
buildings. which were Of wood.
The dead are: Max Hasten. thirty.
two years old. Of ROckaway: Mrs.
Thomas f. McKrow. OF Brooklyn;
Frederick J. Mckrow. five years old.
her son. and m unidentified body,
thought TO be that OF n woman.
