posing herself for another long slum-
ber-how long orr how short no man
can say. Still, the lake in the bosom
of the crater is once again filling, and
this is considered to be a token and
promise of good behavior. The ascent
of La Soufriere 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 reminds one, in its
gloom and desolation. of the Cities of
the Plain. Not bird, not an insect.
not a tree--save few charred stumps
can be seen. A black wall of pitch
like looking cliff 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 edge partition
which formerly divided the two craft
ers having been partially destroyed in
the violent paroxysm of the last erup-
lions. On the slopes lower down Chin
neys, cattle pens. boiling houses and
negro cabins can be discerned, sticking
an odd stone or RATED or trash roof,
through the mud where 1T has been
secured away by the torrential rains.
And yet, amid all this destruction and
desolation there are the beginnings of
fresh era to be welcomed. Already
on the lowest sands there is a profu-
sion OF silver ferns (no gold ones, as
had hoped and not unreasonably ex-
pected), guinea grass, sweet potatoes
and cassava are springing. self-sown,
on the ridges up to 1000 feet. Given
five years of undisturbed natural pro-
cesses. I see no reason why the north
of the island should not once again be
as cultivatable, fertile and habitable as
1t was in the half century preceding the
eruptions of 1923.

men marry late because they find they

How far the ordinary processes of
