Explaining the Eruption.

In France and Germany they have
different explanations to offer for the
eruption of Mont Pelee. A Paris geol-
ogist says the eruption was caused by
the influence of the moon. Ia Stras-

peror was God fearing and pious. A
farmer named Meir laughed and made

of the kaiser, for which he was hustled
off to Jail for three months for lese
