The appalling results of the volcanic
eruption at st. Pierre, Martinique, are
full of suggestions for serious thought.
Ordinary readers of the details of such
catastrophe shudder at the fact that
certain number of thousands of human
beings-whether ten thousand or fifty
thousand is immaterial except to the
sufferers-were wiped out of existence,
probably with excruciating pain, almost
literally In the twinkling of an eye.
Few, doubtless, reflect that it was the
memorable and imperfectly understood
laws of nature which, in their undevat-
ing operations, caused the holocaust
Men have established bureaus for the OBJ
servation of these seismic disturbances,
and prophecies of their recurrence based
thereon. These bureaus gave no intima-
ton of danger at Martinique; on the
other hand, deductions had been drawn
from the past and long continued be-
havior of Mount Pelee, and it was con-
sidered by scientists an Anticipated vol
cano whose vitality was extinct. But

The Tribune again calls the atten-

record made by the republican county
administration. 1t calls their atten-
tion to the fact that the debt OF the
county has been reduced. the value OF
county securities advanced, the taxes
of the farmers lowered. II, instead

have written a letter to Mr.. Hill per-
s~onally, directed to his private resi-
dence at st. Paul, informing the great
railroad magnate about the loss of his
wheel and requesting that he look in
to the matter. Mr.. Hill ~blue-penciled
the letter and 1t was sent to the head
of the proper department. who sent a
reply to Zimmerman stating that a
tracer would be sent after the wheel
and it would be returned as soon as
possible. Zimmerman replied, stating
he had no business with that depart
ment, that he wrote to Mr.. Hill and he
expected a reply from him in person.
Mr.. Hill is said to have then taken Up
the search for the wheel, giving the
matter his personal attention. The
wheel was finally found, badly smashed
but it was packed up and Sent to Hills
