ERUPTION SIMILAR
TO BOILER EXPLOSION
New York Geolosist Explains
How the St. Pierre Disaster
Probably Occurred.

News Democrat Leased Wire Service)
New York, May 10.-Dr Hovey, the
eminent geologist says the eruption at
Mt. Pelee, near st. Pierre, was much
the same as boiler explosion. The
lake in the crater of the volcano sunk
through the volcanic fissures till it
reached the molten lava, then turned
into steam and blew up the mountain.
The same thing happened at Kra-
katoa In 1883 when dust was blown 10
miles into the air, circled the earth,
and made the phenomenal glowing
sunsets Of that year.
