Sir Archibald Geike, the English geol- ogist, dissents from the general belief that the eruption of Pelee could not have been foretold in time to enable the inhabitants of St. Pierre to escape. If there had been a competent seismic specialist on the slopes of the volcano, he thinks, most of the population might have been saved. And he adds the gen. eral suggestion that there should be on every such island a meteorological ob- servatory, furnished with self-register- ing seismometers, from which the ob- servers might issue warnings of the ap- proach of dangerous storms and the symptoms of eruption or earthquake.

! Among the things recommended by
 the board of officers that was recently appointed to suggest changes in the army uniform was one type of sword
 for all branches of the service. The
 present regulations prescribe one kind of sword for the cavalry. another for the infantry, and third for the artil-
 lery. It is now proposed to have a sin gle standard for the entire army This recommendation is somewhat of a sur prise to some army officers, for the idea has been growing that sooner or later the sword would be dropped as a part of the equipment of an officer. It is generally looked upon as a useless article of decoration, and serviceable

The British army authorities are sur- prised at the great number of resigna- tions of officers of all grades since the declaration of peace in South Africa. Fully twelve hundred officers have ap- piled or signified their intention to ap- ply for dismissal from the service. As no officers were permitted to resign while the war was in progress it was naturally expected that there would be an unusual number of resignations when the war closed, but such a gen. eral stampede came as a surprise. One explanation is that with the coming of peace the chances of promotion were thought to be very poor, and therefore many deemed it best to get out at once rather than take their chances.

THE PROBATE COURT
Tried to Smoke the District Clerks
 Office Out.

The tax payers of Maricopa county have narrowly missed tine opportunity Of voting on proposition for the issue of bonds for the building of a court house.
 Day before yesterday a great deal of smoke began to be noticed in the of flee of the district clerk. It was thought that something was wrong with the draft; that the chimney had been stopped, or that the wind was wrong The smoke could not be seen coming but it collected in great volume. Yesterday morning it was seen com ing from behind one of the filing cases It was evident then that the draft had nothing to do with it and an investiSa- tion was begun. A section of the wall near the floor was torn away and it was found that the flue from the lower floor was defective at that particular point. The brick work was in place but the mortar joining the bricks had fallen out so that the smoke was fer through as through a sieve, from the office of the probate judge.
 There could be no contact with the flames from below but the heat had already charred the base board anI the floor next the wall, apparently ai- most to the point of ignition.
 At the time the court house was built the building material used in this country was not of as good d quality as that used now. Mortar was es pecially lacking in adhesive quality and no doubt that in the chimney fell out long ago. The interstices had been covered with soot which kept the smoke in the chimney and at the same time screened the adjoining wood work from heat. The rains washed the soOt down and furnished an escape TOT both heat and smoke.
 The defective portion of the chimney has been torn out and replaced.

"The Belle of New York" With it's tuneful music, it's lyrical jingles, it's pretty girls, gorgeous costumes and clever comedians is making it's sixth annual trimphal tour of America and comes to the Doris theater tonight. The music which Gustav Kerker has supplied in this Casino masterpiece, is of a higher quality than is usually found in productions of it's class. it has lived long after it's first hearing and will be remembered along after "The Belle of New York" has ceased being produced. It has been stated that the real reputation and tremenG
 ouS vogue were won by a single song and Shngle character. This char acter was the Salvation Army lassie. which was so extremely original, so delightfully."- coy and demure that it fascinated the audiences of New York and London. While successes are oftimes attained through a single orig
 inal feature, it is safe to say that "The Belle of New York contains, aside from it's original background, an un- usual amount of bright and mer:toriOus material. The lyrics which Hugh Nor ton has contributed to it are splendid throughout and such songs as Follow On," and When We Are Married" are of exceptional merit. The locale of the piece lends itself to elaborate stage setting and ,Ae large and shapeiy chorus can be dressed in scintillating finery Altogether "The Belle of New York" provides entertainment which is unequalled and it's long life and pros porous career is not to be wondered at. The company this season includes the old favorites of last year and with an entirely new dress and scenic equip ment is said to be even better than ever and is headed by Miss Redledge, MT.

TOMBSTONE MINES
Progress in Sinking, Wonderful Work
 of the Big Pumps.

Progress of work at the Tombstone Consolidated Mines company continues satisfactorily. The mine force at the combination shaft is kept busy in the lower levels clearing drifts and making connections while Q number of men are also employed in preliminary work cn the Silver Thread, Comet, TOughnut and Lucky Cuss hoists which the com pany propose operating as soon as nee essary material and supplies arrive. The company has been considerably hampered by the delay in arrival of supplies owing to the congested condi- ton of freight traffic. The most serious delay al present is the non-arrival of coal. An order oi p carloads of coal for immediate delivery has as yet failed to arrive and the present supply of .. bout 100 tons on hand is being rapid ly utilized pending it's arrival. Severn! cars of lumber also urgently needed are tied up with some 7G0 cars of s. r. com pany delayed on an east bound freight that are sidetracked between Yuma and Los Angeles awaiting engines to move same.
 The work of the big pumps has proved them to be a marvel of mechan- icaI cXactness and capability. When in operation the ponderous machinery works as smooth as the proverbial clock and is practically noiselcss. The big shaft has been lowered 8 feet be- low water levgl and the last days record was 410,OOO gallons. With each foot of sinking the inflow of water is perceptibly stronger. Based on the records of the inflow below wat er level on the Contention and Grand Central, it is expected ovec 1000 eco gallons O. water per day will necesslr- fly be pumped out before a depth of 100 feet has been attained. Should the inflow double this amount at this or greater depth, the capacity of the pres ent pumps will easily handle same. thus an idea is formed of the man. moth enterprise instituted for drain age of the lower levels, and plans for extensive mining contemplated by the Tombstone Consolidated Mines com pany.

WHAT CAUSES DANDRUFF.
Greatest European Authority on Skin
 Diseases, Says It's q Germ.

The old idea was that dandruff is scales of skin thrown off, through q fcverish condition of the scalp is ex- ploded. Professor Unna, Hamburg. Germany, European authority on skin diseases, says dandruff is a germ dis disease. The germ burrows under the scalp, throwing up little scales of cu- ticle, and sapping the vitality of the hair at the root.

when we were suddenly aroused after

we marched past the place two days later

he had difficulty in keeping up with them

when he knew it was going to he hot and
wanted TO feel sure that it would be well

After the advance ceased at this point,
which was about 10 miles from our camp
of the night before, we spent about two
hours in resting and eating the few crack
ers we had brought with us, and then

Is what led to the habit of the Americans
in advancing firing into all houses in their
front and of setting FIRE TO them as they
passed, so that they could not in future
serve the same purpose.
The custom of hut burning which raised
so much condemnation in the United
States did not grow out of mere wanton-
ness or q spirit OF revenge, but was the
result of experience and the exercise of
proper precaution from n military point
of view. The Fiiipinos would hang Il

token of peace and neutrality, and at the
same time shoot at Us as we advanced
