Great Lava Streams Attending IAN
Eruption of Mont PeIee,
Since the disaster at MartIniaue
most people. especially those of scien,
tific and yenturesome spirit, have taken
new interest in volcanoes Old era
tiers, whose tricks are still unknown
and craters that have just taught men
70 beware of them, have been studied
with unusual care. Interesting expe-
riences have been common. Hardt
one of the recent papers on volcanoes
is without some tale of adventure in
which the human side appeals even
more strongly than the scientific.
George Carroll Curtis in a paper en-
titled Looking Into the Caribbean
Craters," published in the Century
Magazine, narrates an adventure he had
on Mont Pelee. He says:
As we were passing on our return
over the rugged. lava-like mud-aows
three sharp peals of thunder rang
through the valley. Rolling up over
the mountain top was a great brown.

The Legislature ceased business Wed
nesday, expecting to adjourn at noon Sat
urday, the three days intervening being
for the Governor to sign or veto bills.
The administration faction of the Repub-
lican party claims to have defeated the
stalwarts. having passed the ad valorem
railroad tax bill raising the taxes of rail-
roads $l.000000 year. having passed
with referendum attached a primary cleo
ton law. and having made a good issue
of the bill to establish a commission for
the State control Of railroad rates. The
stalwarts say the fractional warfare will
begin Immediately. On Monday bills were
passed allowing spring shooting of ducks
for fifteen days, empowering the railroad
commissioner to examine the books of the
railroad companies to ascertain if they
give rebates and return wrong figures
upon which they pay taxes.

CANDIDATES FOR A POUNDING.

The chief engineer of the Rapid Transit
Commission reiterates and amplities his asser-
tion that the rckety fence along the subway
excavation in upper Broadway is the best kind
of fence for the purpose it is meant to serve. In
the opinion of Mr.. Parsons the absence of any
fence at all might have been a still better pro-
lection from the yawning gulf for then pedeS-
trians and passengers alighting from cars
would have received the plainest possible warn
ing of their danger. But STILL he thinks, the
fiimsy barrier which it was deemed wise,
the whole, to put up does very well, being so
conspicuously insecure as to deter people from
venturing on dangerous ground. But that is
where he is mistaken. Passengers have to get
on and off cars on the brink of the chasm every
day because the cars have run past the cross
ing. In that way Mrs. St John met her death
without fault of her own. 1t is a miracle that
extreme care, bodily activity and good luck
have availed to make hers an exceptional case
Mr. Parsons thinks the 'scarecrow" fence is
the next best thing to no fence at all, but he is
not satisfied with William Bradley, the con-
tractor. Pound Bradley" he says, who was
allowed to bite of more than he can chew" and
is doing his work in dilatory fashion, besides
creating a nuisance by using the street
place Of storage and dumping ground Well,
we would just as lief pound Bradley as Par
sons If he deserves it; but Bradley declares that
he has done everything which anybody in au-
thority ever told him to do in the matter of
helping people to avoid falling into the excava-
ton, and that he is putting his extraordinarily
difficult job through with all possible dispatch.
Whether that is true or not we have no means
of knowing, and in any case we are not bound
TO determine just how responsibility should be
apportioned between the contractors and the
engineers representing the commission and the
interests of the city.
The thing we are sure of and constrained to
declare is that public patience has been abused
on some sections of the subway; that the lives
of many persons are endangered every day in
Broadway between the car tracks and the deep
abyss which opens beside them and that those
who content themselves with offering excuses,
whether contractors, engineers or street rail-
way officers, instead of cooperating to correct
these evil conditions at the earliest possible
moment, are making a discreditable exhibition
of themselves.

tie. He finds a place where he can see the line
of the enemy, and there he makes use of the
knowledge he acquired at the rifle ranges. He
does not fire rapidly; he is deliberate, because
he knows the value of his ammunition. But his
work is effective and the enemy breads him
more than it ever did the hero of the days of
old.
The great value of good craftsmanship was
fully demonstrated In the war in South Africa,
and since that time sharpshooting contests in
military bodies have been looked upon more
seriously than ever before. At Bisley this coun-
try will be represented by a team which was
selected after a contest at Sea Girt, and the
work done by the various members there and
since then at the ranges where the match for
the championship trophy will take place en-
courages the hope that the Americans will
make a creditable record. To New-Yorkers
the work of the team will be particularly inter
esting. since four of the eight sharpshoOters
who will represent this country are New-York-
ers; three are members of the list, and one is
a member OF the 7th Regiment.
