Prominent eitizens Of NorfoIk.

organise q fire company for the pro-
lection Of their property in the last
year, but every attempt failed, sayS
the New York Sun. There didn't seem
to be enough civic pride or enough fear
OF IRE in Norfolk to inspire FIRE drills,
and It seemed as If it would be left
to anybody and everybody to get out
the garden hose and do the best that
could be done If a FIRE did start.
Then the women took up the mat

desirous Of joining 4 military com

men. Fifty Of them responded, says
the New York Sun.
After that il was easy. The young
men didn't see Just how 70 get out of

ganiEation was developed into fire

The women bought the hose, and

iueed some material changes in the

ing to DR.. Jaggar, Of Harvard uni
Versity, who, as one of the party of
scientists sent to the West Indies 70

vicinity of the British island. Where
before the outbreak of La Sofriere
and Mont Pelee there existed solid
land is now deep water, as yet un-
sounded, which extends to the base
of high cliffs, bare and vertical, for
merly a considerable distance from
the shore.
It is erroneous, DR.. Jaggar says, to
state that there has been no change
in soundings as q result of the erup-
tions. Tremendous submarine dis
occurred, he asserts, and
the breaking Of the cables after the
first eruption of May was probably
due 20 landslides along the bed Of the
ocean, the extent of which cannot
be determined. The cables in all
probability were snapped ssundsr
underthe weight Of enormous masses
thrown upon them from the higher
