HOl FOR THV CIRCUS
Walter Mains Big ShsWs to Exhibit Here
Next Monday

The difficulty of procuring animals
for a large aggregation like the Walter
l.. Main shows is great. Constant
search for the largest and finest ami
mails is necessary and the Main cir
Gus is supplied at an immense outlay
of time and energy. Some animals
are scarce and some live only a short
time after being brought from their
native haunts.
Great difficulty is encountered in
getting a giraffe TO America and keep
ing 1t alive after its arrival on this
contipent," says Walter l.. Main, the
proprietor and veteran circus manager.
"A good giraffe is worth from $4,000
to $4,000. and there is not a live one
now in this country. Next to the
giraffe in the aristocracy Of cost comes
the lion slayer and dub onipilit worth
from $4,000 to $1,000. A nice young
baby elephant is worth 81 900 and up
wards. but a really good animal is
worth from $4,000 to $4,000. Among
the latest and greatest additions to
our gigantic menagerie are two mons
ter lion slayers. which were captured
near Bulawago. South Africa. They
are the only two living lion slayers
now in captivity and are the most

PBLBB A WHITR
HOT FURNACR
Daring Scientists Stood on
Very Edge Of Crater
Sulphur Everywhere But No Ashes
or CiRderS in or Near the Big
Opening

Fort de France. June 4. - George |
KEENAN,. accompanied by Messrs. JAG
caci and Varian, arrived here yester- |
day morning after an absence of 12
days. Prof. Angelo Heilprin. presi
dent OF the Philadelphia Geographical |
Society. and Mr.. Leddbetter reached |
Fort de France this morning.
Professor Heilprin Mr.. Kennan and
Mr.. Varian have ascended Mont Pelee.
They stood on the very edge of the
crater and looked down on the incan-
made last Sunday. and it was the sec
ond time Professor Heilprin climbed
gthe mountain.
In an interview Mr.. Kennan said:
Five of us started for the crater of
the volcano last Sunday, and three of
us reached our objective. We crossed
Lake Palmiste, which is now dry and
full of boulders and huge, ragged rocks
of trachyte, rhyolite and andesite. We
then climbed on up and reached the
edge of the crater. We found it to be
huge chasm or crevasse, with per
pendicuIar walls. We could see down
into the crater more than $50 feet; IL
was like looking into a white hot fur
mace. The chasm opens out towards
ST. Pierre, but the enormous columns
of steam cut of the view in that di-
rection. There were hundreds of
fumaroles all about us. What was
thought to be a cone of cinders in the
crater was learned in reality to be a
huge pile of gigantic rocks, piled up
one on the other. There were crusts
Of sulphur everywhere, but we saw no
ashes OF cinders in or near the crater.
The whole, vast bed OF the old crater
and of Lake Palmiste is emitting
steam through thousands of crevices.
"On the 25th we went to St. Pierre
and returned to Basse Pointe by way
of Morne Rouge. Our party was the
first to make this trip. We followed
the old road to the point where the
volcanic tornado had swept across 1t,
and from there we followed down the
track of the tornado. The spectacle
here was truly appalling. There were
numberless bodies on every side. On
the night of the Goth occurred the
great explosion of the volcano. All
that day Mont Pelee had been vomit-
ing masses of yellow. mud-colored
vapor. We now know that this pre-
sages a serious explosion. We heard
fearful detonations during the 26th,
and huge columns of black smoke,
alive with lightninglike and terrifying
flashes, rose from the crater. One col
umn, which rose TO the height Of a
mile and a half, was lit up like fire
from the fierce reflection of the incan-
descent mass within the crater"
Mont Pelee is quiet, but great vol
umes Of steam are issuing from the
volcano. The lower mud craters, how
ever, are still pouring forth torrents.
The lie Precheur district is said to be
caving in, but this report has not been
verified. Almost all the newspaper
correspondents who were here left on
the United States steamer Dixie.

Terrific Explosion.
, Wilkesbarre Pa, June 4.-Fifteen
hundred kegs of powder blew up at
the Oliver powder works, located on
the mountain south of here during a
thunder storm yesterday afternoon. No
one was injured. Because of the coal
miners strike and the consequent lack
of demand for powder. the works have
been closed down, and no one was
about the place except Superintendent
William Macdonald. The powder was
stored in two small buildings which
were situated close to group OF other
small structures. The superintendent
said he was standing near the build
ings. when a binding bolt of lightning
struck one of the buildings, and both
OF them were wiped out of existence.
