MY companion, much more intrepid
than l, stepped on the edge of the
crater, examining the ground and said
with admirable assurance, Here is
where we must go down. Without
giving me time to offer the least OBJ
lection he put the knotted end of the
rope into the hands of Latour and my
self, threw the rest of the rope into
the crater and began to descend"
Thus writes the Able J. Yvon of Mar
Unique describing descent he and
Franz Beufrand made into the crater
OF Mount Pelee, Oct. "a of last year.
Their feat was the first of the kind
since the great eruption of May, 1902.
The abbe tells of the fear that seized
him when his companion slid over the
edge, and how, leaving their one at
tendant, Latour, to hold the rope, he
himself made the dangerous trip into
the volcanoes mouth. This first de-
scent. however, was only matter of
thirty or forty feet, but after it there
remained a quarter of an hours hard
scrambling over sharp rocks before
the crater's floor, far below, was
reached.
THUS we arrived" he says, "at the
bottom of the valley at the base of the
dome, which fills completely the ave-
nue. of communication with the inter-
ior OF the earth, 1t is an error to sup
pose that there is a great hole from
which lava and gases have come out.

Down in remote section of a a.south-
western state is a little town which
no railroad approaches nearer than
thirty~two miles. The news of the
worlG is worn out and probably de-
MED by the time it reaches there, and
the little town makes no news for
itself. There has been, however, at
least one event in the annals of the
place. That was when new bank
was started. It was only branch
bank, but that did not dim its luster
OF novelty in the eyes of the citizens.
The first depositor was "Si'' Fox.
Si was man of means, but had trust
ed for the safety of his money to his
yarn sock and his gun. Now he felt
that as the leading citizen of the town
he, ought to encourage the new enter
prise. He put in a thousand dollars
as soon as the bank opened.
An hour later he came back and

Descent Into Pelee Crate r

At present there is tremendous cork
OF andesite Gan eruptive rocky which
is called the dome, and which must
have diameter of 800 meters (2,6OO
feet) and height of 400 meters (1,300
feeD. On all sides of the dome there
are fumaroles (smoke holes), some of
which throw out reddish smoke,
others discharge whitish vapors and
still others are surrounded with car
pet of sulphur. It is extremely danger
Gus to remain there on account of the
avalanches, which are now very fre-
quent. Probably not two minutes pass
without ones occurring.
Eve were just quitting the vicinity
of the fumerOle when a rather thick
cloud invaded the crater and pre-
vented our seeing. We could no
longer perceive the courses of the ava
lanches. It was very disquieting, for
each moment we thought that they
were coming upon us. 1t was very
necessary to leave the spot where we
were. The immense blocks which
descended from the summit sometimes
struck and broke off other blocks.
There were on all sides discharges of
stones like the explosions of shells, ac-
companied with troublesome clouds
of hot dust" A perilous climb from
the crater and then a dizzying crawl
along a narrow lip of rock between the
crater on one side and the abyss of
Precheur on the other led the explor,
ers back to safety.
