nigh general that other eruptions, per-
| haps as dreadful as those of May 5,
| when St. Pierre was destroyed, will oc-
| cur.
Meantime the work of searching ,he
ruins of the city is being slowly prose
cuted. The stencil from putrefyins bod
| les and the sitting odor from volcanic
| matter render the work painful and dan
gerous Few of the bodies are identifi-
able. Most of them are covered by vol
canic deposits and much time will be re-
auired to exhume them. Bodies are be-
ing found in all kinds of conditions. Some
are calcined; Others are free from burns
Bodies locked in each others arms tell
the awful story of the deaths of husbands
and wives. parents and children. Moth
ers and their babes are found in posi-
tions which show the unavailins efforts
OF maternal love 10 shelter and to save.
The whole scene is one of heartrendinS
horror and pity. And yet in spite of the
supreme tragedy; in spite of Deaths
presence at every turn: in spite of the
menacing danger that sits enthroned,
like a malignant spirit, upon Mount Pe-
lee. human ghouls are busy plunderinS
the dead. Some have been shot down III
their tracks by the French guards; some
have been arrested and sentenced to va
rious periods of Imprisonment, but Meth
er death nor deprivation of liberty is
sufficient TO deter the human hyenas and
in the outlying districts looting still goes
on.
An official estimate of those who were
buried i'll the ruins of ST. Pierre gives
the number at 2S,000. In addition 5000
persons were drowned and became the
prey OF sharks. \ fifth of the surface of
the island was burned and the other
four-fifths are covered with ashes. AT
Riviere Blanche suburban town Of
ST. Pierre. the deposit of mud is twenty
feet deep. Here it was that the first
great eruption of the volcano on May >
manifested itself, burying the Guerin
sugar mill and killing twenty-three per-
sons.
Horrible Conditions on st. Vincent.
On the Island of St. Vincent conditions
are horrible. The whole northern part of
the island is Il ruin. just now La Sou
friere is reduced 10 passivity. but no one
can tell when the volcano may become
active again and belch forth death and
destruction.
Fortunately the wants of the people
both in Martinique and st. Vincent are
now relieved owing 10 the generous char
ity of the United States and to the pri-
vate aid that flowed in from Il multipli-
city of sources.
All the earlier estimates of the dead
were too low. At first it was thounght
that only 800 persons perished, but daily
since the horror has grown. Up 10 the
present 1.SO0 dead bodies have been
found and buried or burned. -Four hun
dred more victims are scattered over :he
northern part of the island some exposed
and rotting under the tropical sun, some
buried beneath deposits of ashes and
lava. The carcasses OF thousands of do
nestle animals are scattered over the
scene of desolation. poisoning the atmos-
phere and creating pestilence. Frightful
odors permeate the island and pestilence
has already made its appearance.

GREAT RISE IN PRICES.
Cost of Food in England Jumps ) to
80 Per Cent in n Year

Many English economists. especially
those whose sympathies are on the side
of the working class, are disturbed by
the recent rise III the prices charged for
the necesSaries of life in Great Britain.
The rise IS particularly marked in the
centers of population, but chiefly in Lon
don, where bread, meat. potatoes and
dairy products cost from > to 80 per cent
more than year ago. while fresh ve-e-
tables have mounted entirely beyond the
reach of the ordinary purse.
Henry Sell. the well-known CONNER
cial expert, declares that strong i'm
preston exists that the whole civilized
world Is entering On period of higher
prices that is likely to increase the cost
of living far above the level of the past
twenty years. The situation. so far as il
affects Great Britain. is causing deep
concern. since authoritative inquiries
have demonstrated that one-third of the
whole population of the islands does not
receise sufficient wages for the bare re-
quirementS of physical efficiency.
