WERE NO FLAMES.

George KEENAN,, writing to The Out
look, says that careful investigation
of the stories of witnesses Of the erup-
ton of Mont Pelee shows that the
flames, so often described, were not
present in the catastrophe The des-
cent of the erupted mass, which look
ed like a black cloud, was watched by
Father Mary from Morne Rouge by
Messrs. Lassere and Simounut from
the Garde Reeduit; by Mr.. Guirouard
from the bishops garden, just back Of
the Grande Rebuilt; by Mr.. Fernand
Clerc from Mont Parnasse, mile east
of St. Pierre; by Engineer Charles 6.
Evans from the deck of the Roraima,
and by Mr.. j. MOntera from the
French cable steamer eight miles off
the coast. None of these observers
saw any flame in the cloud or any
thing like an explosion of inflammable
gas.
THE frequent references to fame"
he writes. lava, burning gas and a
rain of fire, in the early accounts of
the disaster were due. l think, partly
to inaccurate observation, partly to
the appearance of lightning flashes in
the lateral discharge, and partly TO ex-
element and a confused blending of
effect with cause. 1t is perfectly natu-
raj to associate intense heat with wish
BILE flame; and when a cloud burns
flesh and sets fire to every inhamma-
BILE object that it touches the average
observer concludes that it must con-
tain the flame that it communicates.
Some of the sailors of the Roraima in
sisted that they were burned by ton
CUES of flame as they lay on the floor
in the forecastle; but when they We're
closely cross-questioned and their at
tention was called to the fact that
their clothing was not scorched they
had to admit that they did not actual

AN EPITAPH.

Col. j. NJ. Guffey, the Pennsylvania
politician, when asked if he did not
sometimes feel like withdrawing from
politics at the mere thought of the
trouble into which victory should
plunge him through the application Of
ofiice-seekers, said he thought he could
stand the trouble if he could get the
victory, and then told of politician in
a western city who had beeen a per-
sistent ofiice-seeker until the day of
his death. The editor of the local pa
per was asked by the dead mans family
to prepare an epitaph. This was what
he submitted: Here lies - - in the

BLUE RARY.

Physicians at the Cincinnati city hos
pital are interested in a blue baby
whose skin has hue almost azure. a
blue baby is extremely rare. The spe-
cimen in question is 10 months old For
some unknown reason the opening be-
tween two auricles of the heart in
variably present at birth, has never
closed. Thus the blood is permitted to
escape the lungs to some extent. There
is a consequent lack of aeratiOn, and
carbOnic acid and other impurities not
being Withdrawn, their presence causes
the blue coloring of the skin.

EDUCATION OF NAVAL MEN.
England to Inaugurate New System
 of Instruction.

London, Dec. 25.-Oficial papers have been issued which give full details Of the new scheme for naval education un- der which the training of officers Is to be unified and stmpltfed by the adop- ton of a single system for the trainlng of cadets for all thFee branches of the service, executives engineers and ma rines
 The Earl of Ssfborne. First Lord of the Admiralty, in an article in which he argues that modern requirements of the navy require a change in the personnel. says:
 "In the old days it suficed if a naval officer was a seaman now he must be sesman, a soldier. an engineer and a man of science as well. Today mJre knowledge and study Is needed than in the past and ths highest type of naval officer Is that from which professional knowledge Is added to force of character. The danger within the navy itself is lest insufficient Importance should be attached to the results of study and lest the value of what is called practical character should be placed higher than it deserves"
 The scheme as now detailed confirms the previous forecast. It will become op- erative next July. For the first seven years all cadets will receive identical training in every branch of the service. special attention being given to scientific study. Thenceforward. from the age Of 20, the cadets will be drafted into the different branches and will begin to spe- cialize The scheme enables speedier pro- motion, provides for revised rates of pay, the disappearance of engineers disabin- ties and promotion to the rank of com mander by selection.
 While the newspapers this morning gen. orally commend the scheme as a cour- ageous attempt in the direction of a very necessary reform, 1t Is expected that it will meet with considerable opposition. Its especial defect as pointed out in edi- toTial articles this morning is rhat engi- ncers and marine officers will still be debarred from attaining flag rank and all cadets. therefore, will want to enter the executive branch. The Standard says: We do not blame the Admiralty fJr hesi- tating to follow the example of the United States. in whose navy executive and engineer officers have been combined (wth very dubious results) but the Ad- miralty has gone so far that it certainly will be compelled to go furthsr'
