The Lesser Antilles, as we have
noted, are of volcanic origin, and bend
in a semi circle from Porto Rico to-
ward the mainland of America. An ex-
pert in one of the departments in
Washington has called attention to the
fact that the site of the proposed Mic
aragua canal is directly in the line
of volcanic action of such an explosion
as that which has just taken place" II
has many times been asserted by those
opposed to the Nicaragua route that a
canal constructed on that route would
be perpetually menaced by volcanic
disturbance. A serious eruption or an
earthquake along the line would be apt
10 destroy the canal. 1t is claimed that
the Panama route is out Of the line OF
volcanic action,

1t is being predicted that ST. Pierre
will be speedily rebuilt. Mr.. Won Ro-
mondt, who was recently Dutch consul
at st. Pierre. estimates that the build
ings of the destroyed city were as
sessed at $4,000, 900. on which there
was probably $4,000 of insurance
He is of the opinion that American life
insurance companies had about 81 ,o0O,-
900 of risks in the island, and that at
the time of the catastrophe there was
something like 100000 in gold specie
and bills in the banks of St. Pierre
When the rebuilding of the city will
be commenced probably depends in a
great measure on the action with re-
spect to the matter that will be taken
by the French government.

Reports from no less than twenty
points in the lake regions of New
York. Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and
Wisconsin are to the effect that the
unreasonable and severe cold of Sat
urday did great damage to fruit crops.
In Michigan and Wisconsin snow fell,
and in the other states there were
heavy frosts. Ice nearly an inch thick
formed at some places. Fruit trees
were in full bloom. Many orchards
are believed to be ruined, in so far as
this seasons crop is concerned. Up to
the time of the cold wave the outlook
had been for an exceptionally heavy
peach crop. The lake region will have
to eat Georgia peaches this season,
and thank Providence that Georgia is
so favorably situated.

Father A. X. Gwynne, a young priest
of the Catholic Church from South
Carolina, preached in Cleveland. o.,
recently. lie is trying to raise money
to build one or more churches in the
upper part of his state. During the
course of his sermon he said that in
Greenville, S. c., at the present time
he reads mass Gin a Masonic hall,
with the emblems of the order on the
wall" That Catholic priest should
celebrate mass in a Masonic hall is a
very striking illustration of the fact
that men and orders have become
more tolerant than they were in the
early days of the last century.

KNOX ATHLETE BREAKS
WESTERN JUMPING RECORD

Arthur Wilson. the Knox athlete
who, under the able training of Coach
Mclean is coming rapidly to the front
as an all-star man with a big reputa-
ton ahead of him. gained new laurels
for himself this week by surprising
the western record in the broad
jump. Twenty-Five feet ten inches
was what the tape read when Coach
Mclean stopped down to read the
figures. This i'm practice does not
alterate western record, but it dem
onstrates that the hitherto high wa
ter mark of - feet inches was never
nearer humiliation than at the pres
emf time. The western record is at
present held by the Michigan man
Leroy, who is now in the Philippines.
Coach Mclean stamps Wilson's meth
cd of jumping as the counterpart of
Prinstein of Syracuse. who holds the
worlds record of - feet ~, inches.
Wilson, with an easy run reaches
the take-off and then with a tremen-
dous drive that gives him a great
momentum. sails gracefully through
the air and alights at mountaineering
distances from whence he started.
Up TO this time the record for the
Jump has been held by Robert Gaines
with clear title to 81 feet 10 inches,
but the solid Knoxville lad. not con
tent with inches, surpasses il in feet.
In the low hurdles Wilson is also
running easily and speedily. and
Coach Mclean has beaming smile
on his face each time Wilson darts
off down the track with the hurdles
looming up and then falling away
before him as he goes. THAT man
will undoubtedly be the best hurdler
i'm the west with a couple of years
training" said Coach Mclean as he
watched Wilson at his daily work out
and then he added significantly. pro
vided the boy keeps clear head over
all this praise and stays at work as
he should. And I believe he will.

Professional Arbitrators.
From the New York Press.


American Industrial life must reckon
in these days with a graver danger than
the evil of the walking delegate. The
development Of the coal strike dscloses
the professional arbitrator as the most
baleful influence with which conflicting
capital and labor have to contend, COM
pared to which the mere conniving of
the paid agitator was only fractionally
productive of mischief. The professional
arbitrator works far more insidiously
and he gets more destructive results. To
charge up the present idleness of 10000
miners and the privation and discomfort
of the whole country to the machina-
tions of the professional arbitrator might
be difficult of proof yet when the whole
story is told his share of the RESPONSE
bility will be found to be not small.
We guess that already to the public
mind the identity of the self-seekers who
control the conciliation board Of the Ma
tional Civic Federation to the exclusion
of the disinterested gentlemen who or
ganized that excellent movement, Is sug-
gested with distinctness. Their motives
are i'll concealed. For an astonishingly
long time they have preserved the illu-
sions of unselfish regard for the laborer
and an earnest desire to mend his lot.
This they have succeeded in doing despite
the curious Inconsistencies offered by
their own industrial and commercial ca
reers with their new-found notions OF
philanthropy; for notoriously with at
least two professional arbitrators their
sympathy for the laborer did not spring
from study Of the conditions of the men
on their own payrolls, nor was their keen
appreciation of employers duty to en-
ployed derived from their practice of
that duty as employers of labor. Their
