The Disaster in tn, West
Indies and It's Expla-
nation.

Now that We have in 4 measure re-
covered from the first shock OF the
West Indian disaster, our attention is
turned from the appalling accounts of
human destruction to the interesting
details of the volcanic phenomena. 1t
is a general rule that the intensity OF
an eruption is proportional to the vol
cano's quiescent period. For years
the people of Martinique had lived in
perfect safety under the shelter OF
Mont Pelee and they had lost all fear
of danger. First warnings of impend-
ing danger began on May 3, when the
volcano threw out dense clouds of
smoke. During the next night these
clouds reflected the glowing mass in
the crater and rumbling noises were
heard Hot ashes covered the city of
St. Pierre on the 4th; and at noon of
the 5th a stream Of boiling mud sud-
denly rushed down the mountain side
to the sea. The speed of this flow far
exceeded that of an express train; for
it is said that the distance of five miles
was covered in three minutes. This
sudden rush caused the sea to rccede
some 800 feet and return in tidal
wave of considerable, though not seri-
Gus, proportions. Cable communica-
tion with Martinique was interrupted
in the afternoon of May G, and the
next news filled the world with horror.
An entire city of $4,000 inhabitants
had been literally wiped out of exist
encc.
From the wild and exaggerated
stories of the few survivors we gather
the following details: Thursday, the
9Th. at $50 A. NJ, there was sudden
deafening explosion, and Immediately
the air was filled with hot sulphurous
gases which withered verything they
touched. 1t is said that the whole top
| of the mountain was blown off and fell
| in hot dust and shattered rock on the
city. while mud and lava poured out
of the opening thus made. An eye
witness at Morne Rouge, a town 4
miles away, which was not destroyed
states that there were seven luminous
points on the side of the mountain
just before the volcano bust, and that
the explosion was followed by ter
minutes OF absolute darkness. Simul
taneously with this explosion tida
wave tore the vessels in the harbol
from their anchorage and wrecked
them on the beach. The "Roddam,
which had full pressure of steam on
was the only vessel to escape total de
struction, and she worked her way
flaming from the harbor, amid shower
of molten matter. In the city almost
the entire population was Immediately
suffocated by the hot, poisonous gases
This is proved from the fact that al
most all the dead were found face
downward with their hands covering
their mouths. 1t is supposed that the

Bordeaux, and with the weaker Bor-
deaux mentioned above. when the fruit
is about grown. This caution is to be
observed: That these copper COM
pound sprays will sometimes iniure the
peach leaves.
These sprayings will also prevent
leaf curl, and the later applications,
especially, are beneficial! against black
spot and mildew. The sprayed fruit
will keep better, and thus prevent
such large losses from rot in shipping
as have frequently been experienced.
Where water is held after rains, be-
tween peaches growing close together,
rot is more apt to develop; so thinning
the fruit may prevent some rot.
During the ripening season, especial
Iy when rot is developing rapidly,
'rut which shows the least rot should
be removed from the orchard and de-
stoyed. Thus its rapid spread is
checked, and at the end of the season,
the orchard is free from mummy fruits,
and ready for another year. Imme-
diate removal Of the rotting fruit also
prevents much of the twig blight.
Work done against the rot mast be
begun before the peaches flower, since
the spores which serve as the starting
ing point for fungus growth during the
summer begin to be produced from the
mummy fruits early in spring.
In conclusion, remember that success
in controlling the rot depends On keep
ing the rotten peaches out of the Or
cliard and preventing the development
Of the spores by prompt and thorough
spraying.

KEEP THE BALANCE UP.

1t has been truthfully said that any
Il sturhance of the even balance of
health causes serious trouble. No
body can be too careful to keep this
balance up. When people begin to
lose appetite, or to get tired easily, the
least imprudence brings on sickness,
weakness, or debility. The system
needs tonic, Graves it, and should not
be denied it; and the best tonic of
which We have any knowledge is
Hoods Sarsaparilla. What this mcdi-
cine has done in keeping healthy peo-
pie healthy, in keeping up the even
balance of health, gives it the same
distinction as preventive that it en-
joys as cure. Its early use has illus
trated the wisdom of the old saying
that 4 stitch in time saves nine. Take
Hoods for appetite, strength, and en-
durance.

heated rocks rs having occurred during
their crystailizetion period. These
rocks, in the course of time, were de
posted in the sea by the action Of liv
ers. After many ages, the water-bear
inc rocks are covered to a great depth
under layers or "blankets' of deposited
matter, and the heat there encountered
finally brings the water to 4 sufficient
tension to cause an explosion.
For months after the eruption oil
Krakatoa red sunsets were seen all
over the world, and were attributed to
the volcanic dust thrown into the air
This fine dust, commonly called ashes,

plosion. In all probability the same
phenomenon will follow the West In.
dian eruptions and in the course of a

New York. AS in The case of kraka-
toa eruption, the dust will probably
| travel toward the east, following the
upper currents of the air which flow in
dire ction opposite to that of the trade

A marked series of seismic and vol
| canic disturbances are now occurring
over wide region, but whether these
are in any way connected with the
eruption of Mont Pelce is merely a
matter of conjecture. We have al
ready shown that the volcanoes in
Hawaii are not connected, thong Ii they
arc very close together, and we may
look upon this series of disturbances
merely as 4 coincidence; for one would
suppose that the other volcanoes in
the West Indies would be active before
the more distant volcanoes of Central
America According to precedent,
Mont Pelce should continue in activity
for a long period. her eruptions grow

from this disturbance it is bard to tell.

\ short description of the unfortunate
island might be OF interest. Martinique
has an area of 3Sl square miles and a
population Of about 100 900, of which
number about 5000 are laborers
| brought from India and over 5000
lahorrrs from Africa; also about 500
Chinese immigrants The remainder
Of lhr population is largely native
nr2 ,m :. the white population number
ing in all about 10000. a large share
of the interior of the island has never
been brought under cultivation, al
though it has been occupied by the
French almost constantly since 1886,
4 period Of 2G7 years, the only inter-
ruption in French control being the
period from 1874 to 1902, when the
island was held by the British. Slav-
cry existed until 1913, when it was
abolished in this as well as other
French colonies. Notwithstanding the
fact that large part Of its interior
has never been brought under cultiva-
tion, the island is described 10y Reclus
as zone of the most densely populate
spots on the globe; on the arabic
islands people are lacked as closely IS

WHEN SHADOWS FALL.

From the workshops i'll the Doaiow
Come the toilers, one by one,
Weary bearers Of lifs'a burdens
Homeward bound; the day is done.
Sunbeam vanish; twilight gathers;
On the air the robin call;
Sweet good nights to tired workers;
Evening dawns and shadows fall.
From the fields Of tender blossoms,
Slowly nodding into rest.
Swiftly II es the feathered mother
To her babies in the nest.
Spnrred her wings and strained her hearing
FOR her babies welcome call,
Eager to be safely with them
In tie nest, e'er shadows fall
And our thoughts are t.ns,d with sadness
As we mark another day,
Born so filed with j,y and sunshine,
Age and wilt and plss away.
WHAT regrets and sore heart burning.
Words and acts we would recall,
Oh, for one more hour Of sunlight
When we c the shadows fall.
Oh, that we might en- life's dial
Turn the hours back to when
Things that now have passed beyond us
Might be said and done again.
Oh, the speech we lett unfinished,
And the words not said at al
Ring like dirges on our memories
When we see the shadows fall.
Every life must have its shadows,
Every heart must have its woe,
Every soul must have some longing
That another cannot know.
Everyone must bear some burden.
Whether great or whether small,
And must feel bleak desOlation's
vithered touch, shadows fail.
But the world is not all sadness
ID much happiness depends
On the way in which we marshal
Little means to greater ends.
Rainbows always follow tempests
One hone lost is rot our al;
Sunshine blinded for a moment
Is the cause when shadows fall.
Let us, ther, Ibid all our life work,
That when We are called away
We n ay be too living memories,
Something more than lifeess clay.
Mold a star of honest bri liance
Bright enough to pierce deaths pail,
Bright enough to cast its luster

WELSH IN AMERICA

Though public attention has lately
been directed to Welsh settlers in
America, the question lacks the great
interest caused in the eighteenth cen
tury by the statement that tribe of
Welsh Indians had been discovered.
In the seventeenth century John JOSS
lyn, in his Voyages to New England" !"
mentioned that the customs of the in-
hali,ants rescmbled those of ancient
Britons, and Sir Thomas Herbert, an
other traveller of the same date, in his
"Traves'' gave Welsh words in use
among these Indians. \ century later
reports from several traders and others
| were received of an Indian tribe that
possessed manuscript, spoke Welsh,
and retained ceremonies of Christian
worship. Among other information
then published was the report Of Cap
tain Abraham Chaplain, of Kentucky,
that his garrison near the Missouri
had been visited 10y Indians who con-
vcrscd in Welsh with some Welshmen
in his company. Those Indians were
t.uuyht to be descendants of colony
said to have been formed by Madoc,
son Of Oven Gwyncdd, on his discov-
cry of America in ll70.-Lonelon
