Character in Umbrellas

Ones character is said to be revealed with infallible accuracy by the way he holds and carries an umbrella. One en- thusiast. who has made a study of the publlcs' umbrella manners, has announced that he would want no better guide in choosing his wife than to watch her furl and carry her umbrella.
 The man who po<es you in the ribs with his umbrella for instance does not alone announce by such an act that he is rude or careless. To the experienced eye the act lays bare the innermost secrets Of his character. ..' ..
 The man or woman who carries an un- brella with the point backward and down. ward Is unassertive. On the other hand persons who. in walking. carry their um- brellas by the handles, with the points continually extended or pointing forward will be found self-asserting and energetic. The pedestrian who, grabs an umbrella in the middle and goes forging ahead with it in this position is likely to be found alert but of a selfish. even conceited dis position.
 Then there is the type which trails an umbrella behind him so that the terruIe leaves a long, uncertain scratch on the ground Such a person is dilatory ana shiftless. A person who goes aoout in this way will generally be found with several buttons missing from his clothing or with broken seams m his coat.
 An even tempered person carries an um- brella under the arm, protectlngly' as though it were being guarded from any possible accident.

 The Torrent of Fire.
 When the crater of Pelee burst, the nriest. Pere Marye. was celebrating mass. He had, he recalls. thirty persons at communion that morning. As he left the church he observed an ardent boiling from the mountain. A light, fire-burst, shaped as cornucopia, at that moment occurred. As it rose it formed cloud above. Suddenly through this cloud light nings shot, lateral lightnings from the center to the circumference, from the cir conference to the center. making sounds like s'z-z-z-z and then boom-m m- m m.

There were ex- plosions whenever the cloud struck an ob- stacle, and loud ,st when it touched the shore front and the sea.

Morne Rouge. Martinique. Special Core
 spondence of The N, Y. Evening Post.
 This is the story of a man who stood by his guns. He was a man of peace-the cure of a parish just under Pelee volcano.
 In the first place, a source of worry to him in his ministerial capacity, there had been the immortality of St. Pierre. Do you know" he said to us, that out of every twelve births in St. Pierre, only two were legitimate?" And. besides, as we progressed with dinner. which, in the seminary refectory, we were hungry for after twelve hours horseback ride, he told us of the Satanists and the Social ists, the one worshippers of the devil and the others blasphemers of God. The Sa- tanists had a regular ceremonial of devil worship and, alas! the head of it was an artist from Paris named Guillaume, who had frescoed rather well the cures church at Morne Rouge. To offset Guil- laume's teachings and the influence of the blasphemous paper Proletaire of St.
 Pierre, this priest had to hold missions on the boundary of St. Pierre and organ ize street parades. and he was preparing

FARMS IN THE DEEP SEA.
Artificial Propagation of sponges is
 Now A Recognized Business.


 The sponge. like most other of natures gifts, is in danger of being effaced by reason of the ruthlessness of man. Grow ing upon the surfs of the ocean, largely off the Florida coast, they have been comparatively easy of access. and as there has always been a good market for them the rocks have been stripped without re- gard to the needs of the future Anticl- patIng the extinguishment of this useful fungus. the Government has been mak- ing experiments to demonstrate the prac- ticahility of its artificial propa gation and ere long there will be a stock farm of sponges on the Florida coast where man can go and buy eggs or young sponges as he would buy hens eggs or calves now.
 Some time ago Dr, H. F. Moore began experiments at Sugar Leaf Key, about twenty-five miles east of Key West, and at several places in Biscayne Bay. Sev- eral thousand sponge cuttings were plant ed at these places under variety of con ditions. The chief problem confronting the experimenter in this field Is to find some ready means of attaching the cut tiugs to a durable support, capable of re- sisting the action of salt water and the ravaEes of the teredo and animals hav- ing similar destructive habits and which at the same time will not have an inju- rious effect upon the growing sponge. The cuttings live and their cut surfaces heal without difficulty.
 About six weeks after the plants were made they were examined and under fa- vorable conditions it was found that about

The treasure trove that Scotch minister was sure would be found by early visitors is all buried or recovered (mostly buried), and only now and then Is a china after-dinner cup seen complete, or a ten-franc piece of gold discerned on the surface by a group of bonesL Tn the ruins of the house of the President of the Banque Anglais there was an English book for children adventures by sea and iand, and stories of fairies, and in another mansion, in the chamber of the daughter of the house. evidently. there was a melted perfume bottle with woman's hairpin entangled tn it's stem, purse with few melted coins. and in the kitchen debris the signs of the petit dejeuner. with the skeleton of the cook in the ruin of the range. In one mansion there were four skeletons, close together, just by door through which they were rushing to escape.

 Pelee From Morne Rouge.
 But to return to Pere Marye. One gets to his parish of Morne Rouge by ponies, poor, starvelng ponies. over mountain roads filled with cinders and dust, or washed away and obs:ructed by Ire $ blown down-a wearisome ride of nearly day. We heard church bells when two miles away. Our mounts barely able to walk, the blood running from where the guides long spurs had cut cruelty. we entered the village about o'clock in the afternoon. There was no hotel. no plant CT that we knew, hut we confidently rode into the priests yard and put our ponies in his stable We had been told that to expect hospitality from the priests of Martinique was never to be disappointed. We walked into his open door. There was his hbrary-a single bookcase. There was his table-big enough to seat dozen persons There was his sideboard-wine and fruit upon it in plain invitation.
 We went through the library to the church portico. Appearing exceedingly close rose the high jagged monstrous cone of the new crater of Pelee, sending up a huge pillow of white. and dripping pale hot mud down it's furowed jowl. In the churchyard the dust from the first two eruptions was drifted tuily a foot deep It had had to be shorclcd away from the doors. as a New England Vil- lager in winter clears his doorstep or snow.

95 per cent. of the sheapswool cuttings were alive. healed and apparently healthy. In several cases where the plans were made in places exposed to very strong currents many of the pieces were torn loose from their supports, while others had been killed by rough action of the currents. N...
 The cuttings from yellow sponges suf- fered a much greater mortality than those made from the sheepswool sponge, but whether this be due to the more del icate nature of the animal or to the acci- dental conditions under which they were planted is not yet determined.
 So far as has been discovered the more valuable sheepswool sponge seems to pos sess greater hardness than it's cogener.

 We thought longer of him, staying there with a lot of blacks and a few destitute whites, than we did of the volcano whose red glare painted the sky so impressively.
 The church bells woke us at 6 o'clock, and when his early service was over we waited for him to come to coffee; but he had another mass to say at 8 o'clock, so we did not see him until we were about to start away, when he told us about our road, and said good bye. He was doling bread and meat and medicine and cheer ful words at the door of his library. the sun shining full on his contented face and bald head, while half a hundred persons waited to receive their portion. That was our last sight of him. Next day. from the summit of Pelee, we saw his church and his parish lying tranquilly over by the base of the volcano. near the side where eruphons had been most devastat- ing. F. ..

ro houses damaged. The church stood intact: its bells were pealing solemnIy.
 In the road came procession. It turned in by the church gate: some black girls marched in front wearing a ribbon and a silver cross; some black nuns fol- lowed, then some white women, and after them the cure, plump and ruddy, eyes to the ground, in golden vestments. walking under scarlet and gold canopy upheld by six stalwart negroes. Behind the can- opy walked the men of the parish, white and black, two by two. As the cure stepped into the church there was an explosion, then another. It was startling. with that volcano smoking violently in the background. But we saw that 1t was merely part of the ceremony-the Corpus Christi procession-a man had an old rifle and an old shotgun, and had fired the sa- lute from them.' He repeated the salute when the cure reached the foot of the al- tar to the Virgin. There he said the rosary, and presently the people filed out from their seats.
 Hospitality.
 A servant led us into the refectory or the house. The priest came in, heard ap- peals and reports from several of his flock; then came over to us and shook our hands. We were welcome. We must be weary. A servant brought in a half bottle, sealed heavily, covered with dust. which he carefully left undisturbed when he drew the cork and decanted 1t. We must drink this claret, which was for his friends, and eat some fruit. He had a de- lightfu manner, q most pleasant frank. gray eye He took us into his little gar den, buried in volcanic dust, every plant aocI ched, but sending forth new shoots Then he gave us the description of the first eruption with which this letter be- gan. It was important as being what cultivated man had observed, and dis proved the theory of ''les geologues. and others, that the side of Pelee had opened and shot the fire thus upon St. Pierre. The fire had come from the summit, had risen perhaps sixty metres high" then. exploding all the way, had suddenly slanted down and consumed that city, of which Morne Rouge was almost suburb, the fashionable summer retreat.
 All the fields were blue and desolate. Nearly all the dwellings were closed; the village was nearly deserted.
 Where may we find lodgings? we asked, after hearing the now old story.
 Pere Marye laughed. Come, it Is now the time for the Angelus," he said. You will like to go to your room, and rest during the Angelus. Then we will dine"
