From the London Times.
AS have just returned from a fort
nights tour in st. Vincent, during
which had opportunities of seeing the
greater part of the island. 1t may be
interesting to the readers of the Times
to know how far the ordinary pro-
cesses Of nature have begun to Teas-
sert themselves since the cessation of
the volcanic disturbances. The first
thing that one notices is the relnarka-
bic luxuriance of the green growth of
vegetation of all kinds. 1t is true that
vast quantity of unassimilated
CLASSY ash is visible everywhere, pain

dull blackness of the soil that l re-

wherever the ash has mixed well in
the soil IL seems to have had some fer
tilizing effect, notwithstanding the as
sertions of the analysts.

wrought among the smaller life Of in

their submits. This is. OF course, due
TO the hurricane OF 1898. previously ono

THE MARINER AND THE SEA.
On the Trained Skill of the Seaman
Depends the victory.

From r. r. Zogbaum's "Our Modern
Blue-Jacket" In the Century.
While 1t is true that the mariner is
no longer dependent upon his skill and
ability to handle and move his ship
by means Of force Of nature he can
not control, and though human ingen-
uity has given him a machine combin-
ing in its mechanism the forces OF the

hurricane and from the volcanic erup-
lions. The wisdom of the Executive in
removing the jewellers in the extreme
north of the island and finding them
homes outside what was then a danger
Gus locality was fully justified by after
events, although a considerable amount
of sore feeling and dissatisfaction was
created at the time. But, like many
of the sufferers from the storm in Bar
bados, the deported families are now
better housed than ever before in their
lives. The new villages, with their
neat cabins and plots of land, decorate
the fertile slopes and add undoubted
picturesqueness to the leeward side of
the island.
But what of La Souffriere herself?
Her last utterance was in March, 1903,
and there is every sign that she is
composing herself for another long
slumber-how long or how short no
man can say. Still, the lake in the
bosom of the crater is once again fill
ing. and this is considered to be a
token and promise of good behavior
The ascent of La Souffriere can no
longer be made by the old route from
Chateau Belair; one is obliged to go
further north to Wallibou. and thence
begin the long climb of nearly 1000
feet. The scene from the summit re-
minds one, in It's gloom and desola-
ton, OF the neighborhood OF the Cities
of the Plain. Not bird, not an insect,
not tree-saved a few charred
stumps-can be seen. A black wall OF
pitchlike looking cliffs confronts one
where all used to be verdure and thick
scrub. and through the broken rocks
a glimpse OF the smaller and unused
crater now appears, the old knife
edged partition which formerly divid-
ed the two craters having been par

Tanned Strenuous Cow-TOwns.
From Outing.
Smith had gone his fearless way
among bad men of every description
and had first made himself and then
the law respected. But as soon as it
was noised along the cattle trail that
smith had been made marshal Of abb
lene there was, fguratively speaking, a
ninging Of fringed gauntlets into the
arena. Placards calling on all visitors
TO Abilene to give up their guns when
IN the town limits were contemptu-
ously shot to pieces, and finally con-
illusions with the new marshal himself
were forced. A bunch of cowboys,
headed by a huge bully whose boot
tops bore the lone star OF Texas con-
gregated defiantly in front of saloon,
with revolvers aggressively displayed.
You'll have to give up your guns,
Boys" said the new marshal, advancing
toward the leader, as he spoke.
The bully, waxing profanely abusive,
made that back-reaching movement
which Is known in the West as a "gun
play" but he had allowed Smith 10
come too near. Smiths big fist shot
forward, catching the cowboy full In
the Jaw, and sending him down like a
well-roped steer. The science OF the
prize ring Is something practically I'M
known TO the average cowboy. Conse-
quently Tom Smith, who was an ex-
pert boxer, had wisely chosen a method
Of attack which would prove a sur
prise. Had he reached for his gun
when the bully made his play" there n
no doubt that Smiths marshalshlp

mud, where it has been secured away
by the torrential rains.
And yet amid all this destruction and
desolation there are the beginnings of
a fresh era to be welcomed. Already
on the lowest sands there is a profu-
sion of silver ferns, no gold ones, as
] had hoped land not unreasonably
expected), and guinea grass, sweet po-
tatoes and cassava are springing, self
sown, on the ridges up to 1000 feet.
Given five years Of undisturbed natural
processes, I see no reason why the
north OF the island should not once
again be as cultivable, fertile and hab-
liable as II was in the half CEN
fury preceding the eruptions Of 1902-'03.

A True Carnival Spirit Pervaded
the Crowded Streets
Last Night.

Some Of the carnival attractions
had difficulty in caring for the
great mass of people who sought
admittancee to the tented enclos-
ures last night and all did re-
markable big business.
The streets were crowded until a
late hour and it was a happy, care
free crowd. The big red automo-
bile Of Mr.. Parker's S. did large
business and hundreds of people
secured a ride in it through the
business district and a portion Of

pike and is we'll worthy the price.

The merry-go-rouud, with its
splendid electrical organ, and the
Ferris wheel half a block south OF
it were other centers of attraction
during the entire evening. The
latter carried crowd after crowd of
young people who enjoyed the cen
sations Of a ride through space.
Hundreds Of electric lights in and
around the attractions makes il al
