NEW YORK, May a. The Even.
INK Journal this afternoon prints a
report from Prof. Robert Hin. who
went 20 Martinique 70 investigate
the Mt. Peiee disaster. The scientist
has within the past few days visited
the crater Of the zone. His inveati-
CATION shows that IN the zone Of the
catastrophe there r. an area OF about
three square miles. and that ~ the
center Of destruction all animal and
vegetable life has been snuffed out
In a atlli larger zone Of ashes some
vegetation L. uniniursd. The focus
of aunihila ton was midway be-
tween the sea and the peak u Mount
Pelee. which with It's old crater, n
still active. The salient topography
OF the region Is unchanged.
Professor Hlil ventures no opinion
as 70 the outcome ~ the eruptions
beyond the statement that the NUM-
erOus craters are acting as vent
for the great subterranean forces,
thereby diminishing the force Of
eruptiye power of Pelee.

Teachers Salaries.

In. 19O2-'O3 owing to an increased
enrolment, the expansion Of the
kindergarten and to the giving of a
half day to drawing and to music by
the special teacher Of these subjects
instead OF one fourth day as heretofore
it was found necessary to hire one
additional grade teacher and one
additional kindergarten assistant.
The entire increase in salaries in
1902-'03 over 1901-'02 is $797.5O. OF
this S472.50 is due to the employment
Of the, additional teaching force
mentioned. The remaining increase.
1928, is an increase in salaries Of grade
teachers due to longer service, since
the schedule adopted by the board
provides for a gradual increase in
salary as the term of fservice lengthens
until the maximum is reached. The
salaries OF high school teachers includ.
ing the superintendent, is $40 more
this year than last.
Cooley & Emmo,is stated in their
last issue that the teachers salaries
would be nearly $4,000 greater this
year than last. The school records
prove them false as usual. The
amount is only s7975O greater with
two new teachers on the pay roll.

ATTACKED BY A BULL.
Nelson Newly Almost Gofed to Death Monday

Nelson Newby, who lives about two
miles south Of the village of Plover, is
lying at his home in very precarious
condition, as the result of an attack
made upon him Monday evening by a
bull. The attack was made in an
open field, the bull catching Mr.. New
by in the right groin and throwing
him into the air. Then when the
man lay upon the ground the animal
dropped upon his knees and commence
ed bunting him with his head. But
for the fact that the animal had been
dehorned Mr.. Newby would probably
have been killed before assistance
reached him. Mrs. Newby happened
to see what was going on and called to
John SwartZ, who seized a shovel and
finally succeeded in driving the mad
ened animal away and rescuing the
object Of his attack. He is very badly
bruised and can hardly move. but it is
yet too soon TO determine what
internal injuries he may have received,
if any. There is a fear that peritOni-
It's may follow as result of the
severe bruising inflicted by the
animals head.
