THE vOLCANiC-sTRlcKEN ISLES.
St. Pierre Has Interest Now Only for
the Scientist


The terror-stricken Inhabitants of the
Island of Martinique are still fleeing from
their volcano-threatened homes and seek
ing shelter on other islands in the Carib-
bean groups. Some have gone to st. Luz
Ella, some to the Barbados. some to the
more distant island of Trinidad-all left
the sadly stricken island with feelings of
relief.
Mount Pelee still remains aetive-less
so, indeed, than during the frightful days
Of May and May IS, when its most flu
,ious eruptions took place--but sufficient
ly active to still pour streams of lava
INTO the sea and to cover st. Pierre with
fresh deposits of ashes.
That city is now as dead as Pompeii.
Millions of tons of volcanic matter bury
It's head and hide its ruins and whether
the city will be rebuilt is a matter Of
much doubt Before the eruptions en-
tirely cease all traces of the place may
be absolutely obliterated and if new
city is to be erected it will have TO be
over the ruins of the old and over the
vast cemetery of its people. The city
Is now like Pompeii a place for the sci
enlist.
On the Island of st. Vincent coudi-
tons are still bad, with La Soufriere
still in intermittent eruption. The whole.
northern part of the island is a ruin AID
a grave. Frightful destruction is every
where over the face of the Carib coun-
try and years must elapse before its re-
Mobilization can be effected. In the vi
entity of La Soufriere four craters have
broken into activity and lava streams
are flowing from them. In Kingstown
most of the refugees are crowded and are
being cared for An official estimate of
the dead places the number at LOO. with
500 badly burned or otherwise injured.
Some of these latter cannot recover.

As the old man spoke Gonsuelo again
appeared at the door, and gave ecm-
prehensive glance round the empty room.
''She has gomez she exclaimed aloud.
But, as the two men gently lifted me
between them, | answered.
Il will take my oath that since you
went out no one has left this room"
A servant had been sent on horseback
to Martenhead by Consuelo, at the time
Wemyss and Harris had come to me, and
It was not long before he rode back, only
a short distance in advance OF the doctor
he had gone to fetch.
l was given some restorative cordial,
and my wound was hastily but skillfully
examined.
Rather a close shave pronounced
the medical man. who appeared to know
his business. Whoever struck this blow
meant to kill you. 1t was done with
some peculiarly fine. shafp instrument;
long-or your wound would not be so
deep-but scarcely thicker than a huge
pin. In fact, the smallest of poniards,
no common weapon-whien accounts for
the apparently slight loss pf blood. Obey
instructions, keep perfectly quiet, eat and
drink what you are told and You will be
up in week. Not a day before"
DR.. Hasbrouck then heard my account
of how l received my wonnd. and said:
The dagger must have been poisoned. \

herb, might have accounted for what

outright. Some Of the poison would
have been rubbed away in passing

My first thought was now to see Paula,
and | somewhat astonished my uncle by
insisting that a messenger; should at once
be sent to The Nest, with the earnest
request that she would come to me inn
mediately.
At the end Of half an hour the mes
senger dispatched to The Nest had re-
turned, with a note from Mrs. Annesley
to the effect that Miss Wynne had been
out alone, she knew not where, all the
afternoon, and had not yet returned.
They were, in fact, beginning to grow
very anxious about her, and would be
glad of any intelligence as to her where
abouts.

spEcTAcLEs FOR SOLDIERS.
Prejudice Against Their Use Dying
Ont in European Armies.

Prejudice Against Their Use Dying
Ont in European Armies.
Because of the necessity of making
the soldier good marksman the army
regulations in continent Europe have
allowed the use of spectacles. 1t is
strange logic, however, that sees in
this a proof of national degeneration.
Shows that we are at last becoming
aware of the stupidity of the prejudice
against spectacles, and that it Is easy
by their use to make a good and use
full soldier of one who, by reason of
bad vision, was poor soldier because
he shot at random instead of with pre-
cision. That it is evidence Of ocular
degeneration in the nation or race
there is not a particle of scientific 81
statistical evidence. Ametropia, waich
cases amblyopia, is probably decreas-
ing with the progress of civilization,
says American Medicine.
Civilization makes us need glasses
more because we need to see better,
not because the eye is poorer than it
was We know of one railway SUI
perintendent who was so opposed to
spectacles that his trainmen feared to
use them, and thus ran constant dam
ger of accidents. Doubtless many
wrecks have been due TO the poor Wis
ion which itself was caused by lack
of proper spectacles. The only objec-
ton to their use by soldiers, engineers,
etc. is that in rain and fog the lenses
require protection or frequent clean
ing. An indirect benefit of the army
regulations may be that at last some
continental oph shalmolecist may some
time learn the ars .elraction, and
that he may teach others. so that in
the course of centuries millions may
secure the good vision and the conse-
quent health and usefulness of life
now denied them by unprofcsslSual

Couldn't straiehten un.

Breed, Wis, June 16th.-Charles F..
Peterson of this place, Justice of tile
Peace for 0conto County, tells the
following story:
For years | had an aching pain IN
my back, which troubled me very
much, especially in the morning.
II was almost unable to straighten
my back and the pain was unbearable.
II did not know what it was, but see
ing an advertisement of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, / concluded to try a box.
II can only say that that one box
alone has done me more good than any
thing else ever did.
Il feel as well now as ever l was.
Il nave recommended Dodd's Kidney
Pills to several others who are using
them with good results"
Mr.. Peterson is a highly respected
man and one who would not so posi-
lively make a statement unless it was
absolutely true.

be had done what no good Governor or
good church member would do-he had
over-indulged publicly on various occa-
sions. Charges were preferred against
him in his church and these have now
been sustained, with the result that the
Governor has been ousted. This is the

negro from State prison, with a full par

Wis declared that he HAD lately been in
that State and had heard so much OF

wanted TO give Massachusetts people all
the advantage of association with The
negro. He also said that If railroad
tickets for Massachusetts, accompanied
other applications for pardcns he would
give other negro prisoners their release.

Plants by ELECTRICITY.

Several methods Of applying electric
ify to hasten the growth and develop
ment of vegetation have been tested
in Germany One plan is simply -
electrify the air about the growing
plants by passing a current through q
system of barbed wires from the points
Of which the electricity Is DISCHARGED.
Another way is to submit the seeds To
an electric current before they are
planted or sowed. Both OF these meth
DDS are said to have given favorable
results, but the best plan yet tried Is
that Of passing a feeble current Of cleo
tricity through the soil.

made up my mind when l began expert
menting that l would not let one of my
batteries be sold to the public until they
were capable of doing just what meant
them TO do. The odd thing is that the
battery always does better work in actual
road use than when we are experiment
ing with it in the laboratory. l believe
this is caused by the jolting on the roads.
We are not going to let these machines
go upon the public market until they
have been thoroughly tested"
