WORK OF MONT PELEE.
Typographical Changes Wrought
by the Volcanoes Eruption.

The physical changes wrought by the
commissions in the West Indian islands
are such as almost to tax ones creduli.
ty. says Harper's Weekly. At points
in the vicinity of Martinique the sound
ings Of the sea reveal that what was
once a depth Of 200 meters is now in
excess of 1000. The mountain of Pc
lee itself retains but the shadow of its
former grandeur and has been consum-
ed away by its internal fires, just as
candle is consumed before the burning
of its wick. Whole rivers have been
swallowed up and on the island OF ST.
Vincent a vast estate has disappeared
utterly, and it's former site has been re-
placed by an inlet of the sea. Another
estate adjacent to this, which few
weeks ago was fiat land occupied by
the cottages of the lab0rers thereon,
has been wholly destroyed by fire and
become ridge.
What the typographical changes in
the vicinity of La Soufriere may be
are as yet only conjectural, since in
respect to this volcano at the hour Of
writing it has been impossible for in
vestigators even to approach the sphere
OF its destruction. The whole country
for a radius Of eight miles has con-
tinued tc be seething mass Of fire,
into which no living creature could
hope to penetrate, and at distance
the noxious vapors that have risen
from the belching crater have been
such as to menace the health, If not
actually the lives. of those who inhale
them.
Out of the mass of ruin and desola-
ton at st. Pierre there has come but
one mitigation of the horror of the ap-
palling disaster, and that is that the
attitudes in which the dead were found
on many sides indicate that the blow
when it fell upon them came with such
awful suddenness that it blotted out
their lives before they realized the ma
ture'or extent Of the visitation.

PecuIlarltles About German Army.

One of the peculiarities about the
military service in Germany is the
paternal interest that the officers are
required to take in the frugality of the
men. The pay of the soldiers is only
6 cents a day, but the army regulations
guard it jealously. Each man is ex-
pected to keep his money in little bag
suspended from a string around his
neck, and any officer during inspection
may demand to have the bags opened
and their contents shown. If it be
found the soldier is spending his pay
too freely-think of that with the pay
at so low mark-he is reprimanded
and punished. He is compelled to
make his pay cover his expenses.

DEATH DEALING AUTO.
Description of Freak Electric Mo-
tor Wrecked on Staten Island.

The big auto which killed two men
and seriously injured many other per-
sons on Staten Island the other day is
built on 'freak" lines, says New
York dispatch to the Philadelphia
Press. 1t is the invention of Walter c.
Baker, who was operating it at the
time of the accident.
Mr.. Baker, who is known as clever
mechanic. planned to construct an au-
to that would offer the least resistance
to the air. This accomplished and a
tremendous propelling energy secured,
he hoped to smash all motor records.
The machine resembles an inverted ca.
noe set on the axle bars Of pneu-
matte road wagon. The body of the
auto was about twelve feet long, with
the forward tip coming down to q
graceful but dangerous looking point.
Just above the middle of the ma
chine and at it's thickest and highest
part was a small coming tower, fitted
with a small lookout just large enough
to enable the driver to see clearly what
was in front of him. The bottom of
the machine was fiat. The auto was
designed to hold two men, sitting tam
dem, and in order to preserve a per-
feet balance they were strapped to
their seats.
This body of the auto was placed on
a frame supported by pneumatic tired
wheels thirty-six inches in diameter
and six feet from side to side. The
body rested squarely on the axles, SO
that the bottom of the queerly shaped
structure Travelled just a trife over
eighteen inches above the ground.
With it's squatty body, its long, boat
like appearance and its powerful
wheels. the auto had more the form of
a live monster than piece Of machin-
cry. 1t was driven by electric power
furnished by storage batteries.

MYSTERIOUS DISEASE.
Killing Hogs in Large Numbers
on Cruger & PAGES Place.

From the Albany Herald.
A mysterious disease is killing hogs
in large numbers on Cruger & PAGES
plantation, known as the Bell place
five miles northeast of Albany
The fatel malady made its appear
ance amonth ago. The drove of hogs
on the Bell place at that time num- per-
ed about $50, and disease of no des-
cription had ever invaded them.
One moring in was noticed that two
hogs were acting queerly. They were
watched closely for few hours, ald
it was finnlly decided that they were
victims of hydrophobia. A dog which
was thought to be suffering from rab-
les had passed through the plantation
several weeks previously, and Mr..
Cruger directed that the afflicted hogs
be killed.
Since that time, or within four or
five weeks, no fewer than sixty hogs
out of the drove of $50 have died from
the mysterious affection. Mr. Cruger
has about decided Oh at it is not rabies,
though he has been unable so far to
diagnose the disease. Sometimes one,
DuJ OICou TWO Ut bHf66, mugs ulO O"itr
and all efforts to check the epidemic
have proved unavailing. The stricken
animals, apparently in sound health
one evening, act as if crazy next mora
ing, running aimlessly about and pay
ing heed to nothing. BY the follow
ing day they are dead.
Mr.. Cruger has caused inquiry to be
made of the departments ofagricnlture
at Washington and Atlanta, and hopes
to be able to find out through them
what it is that is killing so many OF
his fine hogs.

BARCELONA is TAKEN.
RevOluti0nists Capture Venezuelan
City-Fierce Battle Pre-
ceIes Fall

Port-of-Spain, Island of Trinidad,
Aug. 13.-Details OF the fighting at
Barcelona, Venezuela, received here
by boat, show that a terrible battle
started on Sunday, August 3, and
that on the following Wednesday the
revolutionists entered the city. They
kept up continuous firing day and
night, destroying houses one by one
to reach the center of the city. At
midnight on Thursday two-thirds of
the city was in the power of the rev.
olutionists. On Friday the govern
ment strongholds were carried and
the last survivors of the government
officers tried to escape by the river
to the sea, but failing in this, they
made one last stand, after which, at
noon Friday, they surrendered to the
revolutionist commanders, Gems.
Francisco, Monagas and Platero.
Among those taken prisoner are
Martin Marcano, president of the
state of Barcelona and commander
of the government troops, eight gen.
erals ami 20 colonels. The dead OH
both sides numbered 1877. All houses
in the city were sacked, and in some
instances -inoffensive women and
children were maltreated and killed.
All stores were pillaged, especially
those belonging to foreigners, and
the French cable office was robbed.
The American, Italian and Dutch con-
sulates were pillaged and the con-
suls have asked for men of war to
protect life and property.
United States Minister Bowen, at
