ST. VINCENT ERUPTION.
A Curious Feature Observed by Prof
Russell After the Volcanoes
Upheavnl.

In Century Prof. Russell prints
the following bit Of personal obser-
walton among his conclusions concern
ing the West Indian eruptions:
"The distribution Of hot material
discharged from La Soufriere in belt
across the island Of St, Vincent, in
stead Of over a V-shaped area as at
Martinique, seemed TO have an inti-
mate connection with the position Of
the crater near the summit OF La Sou
friere and the influence Of the trade
winds on the distribution Of the mate
rial discharged from it. As IS well
known. the depth of the layer of the
atmosphere affected by the trade
winds is comparatively shallow, and
above II the air is moving from west
10 east. The stones and dust shot
upward from Ia Soufriere rose
/ through the trade-wind layer, anC
were carried eastward by the upper
| air-current. On falling, however
they again met the influence Of tn,
westward-blowing trades and wer,

doned house which has served as a tar

THE BRITISH LOAD LINE.
Vessels Are Not Permitted TO Garry
Surplus Cargoes In English
waters.

A short time since the captain Of a
Dutch vessel here took the singular
step Of making application to one of
the bodies authorized to assign the
load line to have the line marked on
the side OF the vessel says London
Fairplav. This was carried out and
the vessel was then loades. The
captain found that the disk was sub
merged, and in the coolest way posi-
bic appears to have waited on the
board of trade officials and TO have
asked them for permission for his yes
sci to sail in her overloaded eondi-
ton. To his great surprise he was
told by the officials that his vessel
would be detained until, the surplus
cargo was taken out of her. He urged
that the load line act applied to British
ships only and that consequently his
vessel could not be interfered with. 1t
was explained to him that the act
referred to foreign as well as British
ships and that at any rate he had CIV
en- himself away" by actually adopting
the British loadline.
The officials visited the Dutch yes
sci when il was discovered that the
disk had been incorrectly assigned
being a trife higher up the ships sid
than It should have been-so that II
fact she was more overloaded thar
she even appeared to be. A quaint
tv Of cargo was ordered to be dis
charped-four times the quantity that
brought the vessel TO her incorrectly
assigned loadline. The Dutch captain

HUMAN ILLS OF ALAsKANS.

Fbere are. be says, two seasons. VIM
ter. the season of pack ice' summer
the season Of swamps. The WINTER
lasts for nine months, the summer lot
three. Among human maladies cere-
bro-spinal meningitis is very preYa-
lent. sometimes in epidemic form,some-
times in sporadic form. tits often dlIi-
cult to distinguish from the cerebral
form Of typhoid. scorbutus is also
widespread.
rheumatism is frequent and usually
takes the neuralgia type; mtiamma-
Tory rheumatism is rare, pneumonia
Is almost unknown, strange to say.
Affections of the digestion are very
frequent, owing TO poor food; nervous
diseases. such as locomotor atakla'
etc, are also frequent. Alcoholism
and the like are prevalent, due 70 the
ennui Of the long winter, but, on the
whole. incompetence is less harlhIu vi
in Alaska than in more southern eli
mates. Insanity is by no means rare
and II declares itself most frequently
in winter, owing to ennui, absence Of
occupation. lack of exercise and isola-
ton. Its usual form is acute melan-
cholia, almost always followed by
acute mania. Suicidal mania is also
frequent. Taken altogether the cata-
logue Of Alaskan diseases is a long one
and indicates that a vigorous physique
and morals is required to resist them.
