Professor a. E. Verrill of Yale, re-
CARDS the phenomena witnessed during
the awful eruption of Mont Pelee in
May as bearing out the theory that
immense quantities of explosive gases
We're evolved through the dissertation
of oxygen and hydrogen from the
water on coming suddenly into contact
with hot lava, and that these gases,
when elected into the atmosphere, eX-
ploded above the crater, producing the
terrible effects that were noted. Ac-
cording to this view, the inhabitants
of st. Pierre were killed by a sudden
explosion Of vast volume of mingled
oxygen and hydrogen, while the poison
Gus hydrochloric acid gas formed from
the chlorine liberated from the sea-
water that had leaked into the volcano,
and was combined with the hydrogen,
quickly suffocated those who may have
escaped death from the explosion.

Some interesting additions to our
knowledge, not only of geography but
Of anthropology, may be expected from
the expedition Of w. Fitzhugh White
house. an American, and Lord Hindlip,
an Englishman, into Abysslnia and the
regions Of the Upper Nile. Among the
curious places to be explored is the
district of Walamo, reputed to be in
tested with devils. Mr. Whitehouse
intends to spend a month in Walamo
with the intention Of discovering the
reason why the natives of the country
believe that It is possessed by demons
Wonderful stories are often told
Of the powers of vision possessed by
savage races. During the recent Cam.
bridge authropologlcal expedition to
Torres Straits, the visual acuity Of the
natives was carefully tested, and Mr.
Rivers, who made the tests, concluded
that the excellence of vision shown by
savages has a psychological origin
that is to say, it arises from knowing
an Indian to tell the sex of a deer at
such a distance that distinguishing
features like antlers were invisible,
was found to rest upon his knowledge
of the peculiar gait of the male deer.
The scales of fishes as an index of
age have lately been the subject of
study by the English Marine Biological
Association The scales of many fish
show series Of parallel eccentric lines
which indicate successive increments
Of growth The lines Of growth are
more widely separated in that part of
the scale formed during the warm sea-
son OF the year than the portion formed
in the cold season. The alienation
gives rise to the appearance of annual
rings that indicate the age Of the In.
dividual fish in years. 1t appears that
it is often possible to determine theage
of individual fish Of certain species
with considerable precision-which is a
conclusion of considerable practical, as
we'll as scientific Importance.
In sinking the Brooklyn caisson for
the third bridge over the East River,
it has been found possible to make
compressed air do the work Of shovels
in removing the sand, through a thick
stratum of which the caisson is being
forced down toward the bedrock deep
beneath. The sand is so pure and
loose that the force of the compressed
air supplied for the workmen in the
casson suffices to drive it up through
blow-pipes inserted into the caisson
for the purpose. Jets of water are
directed against the sand around the
bottom of the blow-pipes, and when
thus dislodged the sand readily passes
up through the pipes with the strong

Joe Fitzpatrick. during his mem
bership in the county board, has
done many things helpful To the tax
payers of his township. For instance,
in the matter of all the new bridges
that have been installed during his
service as supervisor he has induced
the county To bear half the expense,
thereby affording considerable finan-
cial relief for his town. The eff
cient work he has done has not been
forgotten by the voters of Black

The Rock Island Ministerial associa-
ton, at its regular meeting at the Y.
NJ. c. A. chapel this morning, was
entertained with paper by Rev.
Thomas j. Shuey.
The more of the non partisan spirit
that can be shown in municipal af-
fairs the better. Rock Island has a
years experience with a mayor and
council absolutely of one party. The
city will be served better with all po-
litical elements represented. There
is no doubt about that.
The 'srounders" movement that the
city administration has been taking in
the present campaign has Contributed
neither to the credit nor the success
of the republican candidates. 1t
started down in the First and worked
up town, a night being devoted to a
ward. Saturday night it broke out in
the Fifth. Tonight, doubtless the
Sixth and Seventh will be favored.
Meanwhile double effort is being
made in the Fourth where the police
are doing their part.
The nature of the campaign that
the police are conducting in the
Fourth ward in the interests OF
Storm Drain Counsel McCaskrin in
his aldermanic campaign, in the eff
fort to line up the dives against Mr..
Horton through prejudice is apt to
prove a two-edged sword. The legi-
innate saloon keeper has nothing to
fear from Mr.. Horton, and as far as
saloons harboring disreputable wom-
en- are concerned, The Argus has on
two occasions since the present adj
ministration went into power, com
PEELED il to close them through eX-
posing them. This course will he
continued. and the city forced
to act regardless of whether the adj
ministration's favorite candidate is
elected from the Fourth ward or not.
The day has passed when saloons of
the class referred to can run this
town, despite the influence they
NAV pretend to exert in carrying the
Fourth ward. They may boast of de-
fcating Aid. MOeller for the renOmi-
nation but when il comes to electing
his successor that is another thing.

Churches Against street Fair.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
WABASH, Ind, April 10.-When the bust
ness men of North Manchester, this county,
decided a few weeks ago to repeat the
street fair held last year. there were mild
protests from the church-going popula-
ton of the place, but it was not thought
that the scheme would meet with organized
opposition. The Indignation of the church
people has been growing however, and
eliminated last night in meeting held
by the members of the German Baptist
Church, at which resolution was adopted
condemning the fair affront TO in
telligence and menace to the morals of
the community. and the signal for aggres
sive work on the part of pernicious institu-
tiOns. All the church organizations of the
town were called upon to oppose the
scheme and committee of three leading
members of the church issued an appeal
to the citizens TO suppress the project in It's
incipiency. The Evangelical Lutheran con-
gregation took similar action and the
United Brethren Church adopted the identi-
cal resolution. AS the Dunkards very
numerous around North Manchester and
are good patrons of the merchants, Ii is
possible that the business men may de-
eide to abandon the show, fearing the
DunkardS, who are extremely clannlsh
and may withdraw their patronage.

LEBANON, Ind, April 10.-The Repub-

district composed of Madison, Hamilton,
Boone and Montgomery counties was held
in the Opera House this morning. Samuel
Warner, OF Summittvile, was nominated
on the first ballot. w. B. Campbell, of An
derson, withdrew from the race before
the balloting commenced, leaving but two
candidates to be voted for, Mr.. Warner, of
Madison county, and L. w. Otto of Mont
gomery county. Madison county cast its
full vote for Mr.. Warner, Hamilton county
gave him eighteen and Boone eight and
one-half. The ballot resulted: Warner, 751k;
Otto, 3715.
l.. s. Baldwin, of Nobesville, was per-
manent chairman of the convention, and
S. n. Cragun, of this city. secretary with
the Republican editors OF the district as
assistant secretaries. On assuming the
chair Mr.. Baldwin made eloquent adj
dress, which was enthusiastically ap
plauded. Resolutions were adopted indors-
ing the present national and State admin
istratiOns and declaring that I'VE expect
all the traditions of Republicanism TO be
maintained by the nominee of this con-
VentiOn.'
The only thing that occurred to relieve
the routine character of the proceedings
was the speech of w. b. Campbell in with
drawing from the race. He said that he
had voted the Republican ticket for twenty
three years and had never scratched a
ticket, but there were men in the Madison
county delegation who were opposing him
who had helped to defeat the Madison
ticket in 1898. He also charged that some
of the men whom he had befriended in
times past had forgotten the favors shown
them and were now against him. He said
that he had opposed Governor Durbin for
interfering in the appointment of the post
master at Anderson, believing that he did
wrong in mixing in local affairs But he
had no criticism to make, he said, for this
Is "a republican convention, ana am re

convention applauded his remarks. After
the nomination was made there were cries

hall and before he arrived the convention
adjourned.
