HAYES IN CHARGE.
He Begins Work in the Bureau of sta-

 Washington. July 19.--Assistant Sec retary of Agriculture Wilton N. Hayes has taken hold of the affairs of the Blu reau of Statistics with instructions from Secretary Wilson, approved by Presi- dent Roosevelt, to cleanse the bureau of the stigma left by the cotton leak scandal. His authority is unlimited He has been told that he may have if there are any employees whose ser vices he thinks should be dispensed with, they will be discharged. It is regarded as extremely likely there will be complete reorganization of the force employed in the Statistical De- partment as we'll as a thorough re- vision of the orders governing the monthly crop reports, the latter having already been outlined in a circular is- sued by Secretary Wilson.
 In that regard Secretary Wilson said today that hereafter if there are &C., cusations against the integrity of the bureau 1t must be directed against him. self or Assistant Secretary Hayes. as he has no intention of allowing any other person access to information that may be used in stock jobbing. MT. Hayes will probably be in charge of the Bureau until after Congress assem- bles, as it Is believed that a competent man to take the place of Chief Sta- who resigned yesterday as Chief Sta tistician, cannot be had for the salary paid by the Government. $3.500 a year. Congress will be asked to increase the salary and 1t Is the intention of Secre- tary Wilson to place In charge of the office a man whose ability has been es- tablished, but one who has no connec- tion with statistical bureaus attached to stock brokerage ofices. Whoever is appointed will first be approved by the President. 'E
 rumor has been circulated that when Congress assemblies a movement will be started to have the crop gath ering bureau transferred to the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor in order to insure a more complete reorganization. Senator Dollivar, of Iowa. a warm per- sonal friend of Secretary Wilson, is slated for the chairmanship of the Sem ate Committee on Agriculture. He has made a study of the methods of crop reporting and 1t is known that he is opposed unalterably to any change of the character suggested.

ancient cities which have not only been

ages. The town. supposed TO be OF

plain 1T the foot Of Its destroyer, We

What caused the catastrophe of the
year 70 A. Dr. Biologists have come
to the help Of the archaeologists. and
It is now held that the destruction of
Herculaneuin vas somewhat different
from that Of Pompeii. although Pom
peii was also covered and buried aud
the general effects were the same in
both Instances. In the case of Pom
peii the city was overwhelmed by the
shower of small stones from the vol
cano and the subsequent rain of ashes,
but Herculaneum seems to have been
deluged with water lava" and far
fewer people were able to make their
escape from the city than from Pom
peii.
1t is the theory that the steam from
the crater turned into rain. and, mixing
with the volcanic dust, formed Il huge
volume of muddy torrent. This gath
cred other soil as IL poured oyer the
land. raised the level of che country
more than sixty-fve feet and finally
left a mass of eompacted tufa. This
torrent ran on to the sea. making it's
