at the place of the disturbance and all

burned before the conflict, which be-

in attaining this result, the paper says,
has been the British generosity in the

Killed by Noxious Gas.
It is now believed that Mont Pelee
threw off a great gasp OF some ex-
ceedingly heavy and noxious gas,
something akin to fre-damp, which
settled upon the city of ST. Pierre
and rendered the inhabitants insensi-
BILE. This was followed by the sheet
of fame that swept down the side
of the mountain. This theory is ac-
cepted by the few survivors who
were taken from the ships in the
harbor, as they say that their first
experience was one of faintness.
Refugees Are Starving.
Great suffering continues in Mar
Unique. Food is being received, but
not in sufficient quantities to feed
the crowds of refugees that have
f1ocked to Fort de France. The

several other persons but with this
one exception all guessers missed one
or more guessss. The guessing was
done with illustrations. Money was
placed in jars, seeds in bottles and
hats were produced for the contestants
to guess the size aud in additio to
these, illustrations were made repre-
senting some term the contestant must
quote.
After the guessing was finished re-

MONSTER GUN
UNCLE SAN HAS JUST COM
PLETED 1T AND THINKS
ONE Is ENOUGH.

Albany, N. T., Nov. 2s--The six
teen-inch coast defense gun which was
manufactured at the waterEleit Arse
nal was shipped yesterday to the Sandy
Hook proving grounds, and will reach
there some time today. The gun was
loaded on a barge, which will carry
IL down the Hudson river.
The following are the dimensions Of
this weapon Of coast defense;
Length over all, 40 feet 80 inches
diameter at breeoh, 5 feet; bore 10
inches. Its construction was begun
May Ia, 1898, and It was finished
June ~, 1909. Some faint idea Of its
power can be obtained by the state
ment that IL shoots a projectile weigh
ing a,s70 pounds, a distance of 81
miles II smokeless powder is used IL
will require $40 pounds, or about L.
900 pounds Of black powder.
The crude steel from which the guu
was assembled weighed 36s, 900
pounds. IL has cost in material, labor
and machinery about $3.50, 900. A
large amount Of new machinery had
to be made for the work; one Of the
largest cranes in the world was built
10 handle it; new lathes were secured,
and an immense amount Of new ma
ohinery was purchased. The cost was
90 great that it is doubtful II any more
of similar size will be built When
IL was decided to build this gun il was
the intention of the government to
construct about 20 l6-inch guns.
