ST. LUCIA.

In view of the seismic disturbance
in Martinique and st. Vincent it is not
improbable that the Island of ST.
Lucia, which lies between them, may
become the scene of volcanic erup-
tions. This island also has its
''soufriere.' or sulphur pitted noun
tain, whose crater is situated several
bears its name. Clouds of steam and
exhalations issue continually from the
craters.
st. Lucia was for a century and a
half the scene of continuous warfare
between the French and English until
it finally became a British colony.
1t was discovered by Columbus in
1902. 1t is twenty-four miles southeast
Of Martinique. The island is forty-two
miles in length, and it's greatest
breadth is twenty-one. 1t is watere1
by numerous streams flowing to the
sea from the Mcrnes, as the high peaks
are called The total population was
40, 532 in 1888, of whom 1000 were
white, mostly French. There is good
harbor on the west coast, below Cast
ries, which is the capital and which
has population of about 5000. The
island is considered a good coaling sta
ton for mail steamers and warships.
ST. Lucia forms part of the general
government of the Windward Islands.
1t has legislative council composed of
officials and crown nominees. The an

Poke Fun at Senator penrose.

Senator Foraker and Senator PEN
rose had short wordy tilt during a
speech of the former which gave the
ohio man a chance to poke fun at
Pennsylvania. Senator Foraker had
asserted that the courts have decided
that no Chinese except laborers may
be excluded under the present law.
and he had alluded to a decision OF
the supreme court.
Senator Penrose suggested that the
flifty-seventh federal reports contain a
different decision.
Yes" said Mr.. Foraker, but long
subsequent to the fifty-seventh federal
report the supreme court decided as
have said. That old report is not
modern law"
Then he told his story.
"The senator from Pennsylvania

VOLCANOES CAUSED BY STEAM

DR.. G. Hartwig, in his book, Vol
canoes and Earthquakes. gives the fol-
lowing as his views of the origin of
volcanic eruptions:
The phenomena attending an erup-
ton can leave no doubt that below
every active volcano large su0ter-
ranean cavity must exist in which
melted lava accumulates. The par
tisans of the theory which supposes
the earth to consist of a central fluid
mass, with solid shell resting upon
it, attribute the formation of volcanoes
to rents or assures in this crust,
through which the lava is cast forth;
but the local development of heat by
chemical action, or some other nm
known cause, is quite sufficient to ac-
count for the existence of fiery lakes
imbedded in a solid mass. and which,
through Insignificant when compared
with the surface of the globe, may
still be large enough to produce
volcanic phenomena of the grandest
scale. The cause of the reaction OF
0StSh q iCoCl VIII against Tic
of the earth must. in all probability.
be sought for in the expansive force
of steam; for when water, penetrating
through crevices or porous strata,
comes in contact with the heated sub
terranean mass it is evident that the
steam thus generated must press upon
the lava, and, when formed in
sufficient quantity, ultimately force It
up the duct of the volcano In other
cases we may suppose a continuous
column of lave mixed with liquid
water raised to red-hot or white-hor
temperature under the equilibrium
may first bring on an eruption near
the surface by the expansion and con
version into gas of the entangled
water so as to lessen pressure More
and more steam would then be lib
Grated, bringing up with it jets OF
liquid rock, and ultimately ejecting a
continuous stream of lava. It's force
being spent, period of rest succeeds,
until the conditions of a new outburst
accumulation of steam and melted
rock) are obtained, and another cycle
of similar changes is renewed"

AMATEUR PERFORMANCE.
To Be Given at Parish House Tt
morrow and Triday Might.

The amateur performance at st.
Luke's Parish house on Tuesday and
Friday evenings of this week, for the
benefit of charity, promises to be
great success. The cast Is represented
by Scrantons best local talent, assist
ed by Tom Gippel Fiore brothers,
mandolnists; Waters orchestra, and
Miss Martha Gordon Broadbent. The
following comment appeared in one or
the metropolitan duilies about the
comedy, and its author, Miss Furniss:
Her nature runs to the dramatic.
From her early years she was active in
amateur theatricals. Finally she de-
termined to write an amateur play con-
taining II part adapted to her own his
trionc style. She did so. and the merry
a Box of Monkeys now known
throughout the land among amateur
theatrical devotees. was the result. 1t
was in two acts. and. like most of Miss
Futniss' work, fun of humor. After it
had been played and had made a hit.
Miss Furniss taking the part she had
written for herself, her mother per-
suaded the budding playwright to send
1t as Il contribution to Harpers Bazar.
1t was Immediately accepted and pub
lished, although the Bazaar did not Of
ten print plays Next came its success
in amateur circles far and wide"

FOOD FOR The ANTS.
Some Examination Papers from
Philippines Showing Results Be-
ing Accomplished There.

Charles :. Seamans, secretary of the
board of trade. has received from a
cousin of his. who is Il school teacher
in the Philippine Islands "A most in
teresting exhibit of what the Ameri-
can occupation of the islands has ac-
complished.
This exhibit comprises the two eX
amina ton papers in American history
written by Leo Navo and Candido AL
cazar. two young Filipino boys who are
pupils of this young woman in the
public schools at Iloilo on the island of
Panay. These two boys are only in
their second year at the public school
and before their entrance had absolute
ly no knowledge of the English
language nor any education whatever.
That there is nothing backward about
the Filipino race when once it gets Il
chance is proven by the splendid hand
writing Of the two boys and by the
intelligent comprehension which they
seem to have of the subjectsunder con-
sideration. The writing of one of the
boys is almost as perfect as if 1t was
at the head of page in a copy-book.
They appear to have grasped the mean
ing of all the words they use though
their use of them Is amusing at times.
Some of the answers of Candido
Alcazar. second year. first grade, the
examination being on Benedict'Arnold's
treachery, are as follows:
. CORVALLIS went to Yorktown from
South Carolina,
He found Arnold waiting to help him.
This man held the position of commander
of the American army under Washington.
Arnold secretly gave up the fort to the
British, and the Americans named him Il
traitor
Traitor means q dcceiyer or the man
who was treated kindly by his friends
and then did Il bad treatment for his
kind friends.
The other boy had most interest
ing observation to make on the mean
ing of the word traitor. He writes:
Traitor means Il man who is rascally
for his country.
He had good answers to the other
questions, however, as witness the fol-
lowing:
CORVALLIS thought that Arnold was not
a good man so he despised him.
Mr.. Seamans' cousin says that the
children are so anxious to learn that
it is really pleasure to teach them
and intimates that some of the anti's
could learn something to their advan-
tage if they'd take trip across the
Pacific and see for themselves what
Uncle Sam is doing for these brown
skinned people who have suffered from
Spanish lnsrule and oppression for
centuries.
