Emect of Lava on Steel COnstrucfi0n.
 Metallic construction appears to have had a very low power of re- sistance during the volcanic eruption at St. Pierre. Not only was it incapa- ble of withstanding the weight of the burning matter, but some chem ical action is likely to have taken place which transformed the par ticles. One of the cases mentioned is the market of St. Pierre. After the cyclone of 1891 the authorities decided to reconstruct it in the most solid manner. Cast iron was adopt ed. It is now impossible to find the slightest trace of construction which had an area of 2,ooo meters sQuare.-American Architect.
