This old square brick building is stu

very successful season last year. They
took lShumpbacked whales, which gave
them 10 tons of oil, for which they rea-
lized $4,25S10. Exactly how many Nor
folk Islanders there are is not given in

one. The total exports for the year
were $6O74. And yet a community like
this can rejoice, and think that it is
showing signs of unwonted prosperity.

VOLCANOES.

The more one reads of the destruc-
ton caused by the Volcano explosion
in the West Indies, the more terrible
are the details. st. Pierre was Wiped
out with it's population of 10000 people,
In practically few seconds of time. In
this it was merciful for there was not
space of time to consider whether there
was chance of escape or not. There
was none Of that long drawn out agony
which makes the contemplation of
death so awful. There was a roar,
shower Of liquid fire, a gust Of mephitic
vapor, sudden rush of the population
into the street and all was over. In
nlne cases out of ten the sufferers died
without realizing what had happened.
The volcanic action, however, has.
spread to other Of the Islands and st.
Vincent has suffered very seriously.
The Governor of st. Vincent was much
alarmed for his Island when the news
OF the destruction of st. Pierre reached
him, and the volcanic peak on the ISL
and was rambling and grumbling, and
at last. SEEMS to have burst forth. With
these two outlets it. is possible there
will be, enough cessation of pressure
upon the molten mass to prevent fur
ther destruction, but upon this point
no one can judge fully.
1t is By no.means certain that the West
Indian group of volcanoes are not con-
nected. in part with the Pacific system.
The late William Lothian Green had
theory, well supported by facts that the
Pacific was surrounded by a volcanic
system, the breaks for the volcanoes
coming at the angles formed by the
facets Of the tetrahedron which was
his theory of earth shape as it was that
o! Ellie, de Beaumont, the celebrated
French writer. Both men were before
their time, but their doctrines are now
being discussed in the higher seats Of
learning and like many other pioneers,
fame will come to them long after they
have passed away.
The Hawaiian system undoubtedly
belongs to the surrounding Pacific sys-
tenn. The Guatemala and Central Am
erican volcanoes belong to the same
system. The warning or premorition
OF the outbreak az st. Pierre was given
by the earthquake shocks in Guatema-
Ia 1t is plain that there is connec-
ton between the Guatemala volcanoes
and the West Indian group Of fire
mountains. But the Guatemala vol
canoes are a part of the Pacific system,
therefore TIRE West Iudion "oloa noes
are a part of the Pacific system.
If this be so, and the pressure has
been relieved by the explosion in the
West Indies, there is no need to have
any fear as to our dormant volcanoes
breaking forth. Moreover the fact that
volcanic forces have been piling up in
and about the Caribbean sea, would
account for the extreme quiescence of
cur volcanic fires, and we may look for
continued quiescence for some time.

BEET SUGAR.

The beet question which has not been
Brussels conference will begin to occu-
by a prominent position during the fan
of the year. The agreement was that,
if indorsed by the countries represent
ed at the conference, all bounties on
sugar will be abolished in 1903, and the
duty on sugar imported into each Of
these countries should be IS cents per
100 pounds, The countries represented
at the conference,i whose interests CEN
ter on beets, were Germany, Austria
Hungary, France, Belgian, Holland
Sweden, Denmark. and Roumania. Up
on the announcement of the result Rou-
mania withdrew. The current beet SUI
gar production of Europe is 5000, 600
tons, which exceeds the consumption by
more than 100000 tons. The effect of
abOlishing the bounty system will be to
curtail production, and curtailment OF
European beet sugar production would
send up the price of sugar, which is
just when we come in.
Russia was not represented at the
conference, but the results are causing
considerable anxiety in the official cir
cles which have to deal with beet su-
gar Russia has the largest area under
cultivation in beet root in the worldy
is third in the number of factories;
fourth in the. quantity Of beet root used
and sugar produced; and stands lowest
in the yield of roots and of sugar and
third in the percentage of sugar to the
weight of beet, The action of the con-
ference must naturally have an effect
on the sugar industry of Russia, though
the official organ of the Government de-
clares that Russia will not enter into
any kind Of agreement which in any
way attacks her tariff policy and the
organization Of her industry" Instead
of such an agreement, a series of inter
nal measures are recommended which
it is hoped, will render the sugar in
dustry Of Russia independent of the
worlds market.
The export of Russian sugar to wes-
tern Europe is comparatively small,
'"' 10 SNP'l u ~ LdSlelh countries is
large, and the countries represented at
the conference viii certainly endeavor
TO secure a share of this trade. 1t
would not be difficult for Russia to use
up its present export of sugar in the
home market; the consumption per ca
pita is very small and the cost to the
oonsumeT is' abnOrmally high. The
Government fixes the price at which
