Reminder Of Terrible Dis
aster Of May, 1902.
Dense Smoke and Flashes Of
Light Recently Seen.
Nothing Of An Alarming Nature, Yet Well
Worth Watching.

Fort de France, Island of Martinique,
June 12.-For the past few days Mount
Pelee has manifested a recrudescence
of activity which, while stronger than
that of the month of April Of the pres
ent year, does not seem to be of an
alarming nature. Some dense clouds of
smoke have been discharged from the
volcano and have slowly fallen over the
White River valley, afterwards disap-
pearing on arrival at the seacOast.
Sharp luminous flashes have been
seen at the dome of the mountain and
a fairly strong burst Of flame was seen
between lao and 2.1O p. NJ, June 3. On
that occasion a very thick cloud Of
smoke almost descended to the sea and
the cinders thrown up extended over
the village of lie Precheur, which is OF
the extreme line forming the limit OF
the territory deyasted during the ter
rible outbreak of May. 1902, resulting in
the loss Of about 10000 lives, and then
swept seaward and disappeared. After
this the volcano became calm and re-
NAMED so until the night of June 10-11,
during which the dome was illuminat-
ed by numerous luminous points.
The collapse of part of the dome oc-
Cured at o'clock. yesterday morn
ing. 1t was accompanied by flow OF
mud into the White River valley. AT
I13O A. NJ, the same morning, dense
cloud of smoke slowly arose from the
crater to the estimated height of about
1000 yards and extended towards LIE
Precheur, where the smoke was dis
sipated. Since then the volcano has re-
manned calm.

WHEN LOST IN THE WOODS.
Keep Your Wits, Take Time, and, If
Possible, Follow Stream.
From the Boston Transcript.


What should you do If lost in the
woods" Young foresters taking the civil
service examinations for government serv-
ice used to find this question a favorite.
Later, most of them have had more than
one occasion to put their answers to prac
teal test One of the commonest expert
ences of people who go to the woods is TO
stray away from the trails and familiar
landmarks and lose their bearings Every
year brings its quota of stories of lost men
and women, of search parties organized, of
days spent in fruitless quest, and perhaps
of the finding OF the lost ones In wretched
condition, ragged. starved, sometimes tenn
porarily insane from the fright and hard
ships Such experiences as these are usual
" due to panic. They seldom happen to
the man who is able to act with calmness
and Judgment. Summer visitors TO the
woods are peculiarly likely to be lost, but
so may also people who are accustomed to
living in the woods. No man In wild coun-
try is altogether certain when he goes to
the woods that he will find his way back
without difficulty, no matter how many
times he has been over the same ground.
4 snow, forest fire, even a windfall in the
forest, may have obliterated his guide
marks and changed utterly the appearance
of things
should make up his mind that in case he
is lost he will observe a few simple, COM
nonsense rules of conduct. In the first
place. he should resolutely refuse to be
frightened. The immediate effect of the
discovery that one is lost is usually com
plete decentralization. The victim falls into
a panic of fear and wants to eNtrcate him

ferent directions. hallooing. until what lit
tie sense he had left is completely gone
Avoid that. If you should miss your trail

are and think over matters. II is not a

HARD TO BELIEVE
PROF. HENRY NoNPLUSSED OVER
ALLEGED HEAT REGISTRATIONS.

Wien Prof Henry of the weather bu-
reau informed by Star reporter to-
day that the police had reported four cases
of alleged heat prostration, which are said
to have occurred last night, he expressed
great surprise.
II don't see" said the forecaster. how
such thing Is possible. There were no
high temperatures yesterday. During the
day the mercury in our thermometers did
not go above the 50 degree mark. and 1t
was only 81 at 1:30 O'Clock this afternoon.
The minimum temperature last night was
90 against 81 the night before.
Those heat prostration cases of las;
night" added Prof. Henry, with a smile,
must have been some left overs from the
sizzling hot wave we had several days ago
or perhaps they may have been wrongly
diagnosed. 1t is hard to believe there could
have been heat prostrations last night with
the temperature In the sixties and many
people sleeping under a coverlet
Asked to the continuance of the pres
ent cool weather, Prof. Henry said:
This cool spell Will have to break up
soon. Yet | am not ready just now to pre-
diet hotter weather. However, the change
from cool weather to warmer may be so
gradual that the people will not notice IT,
Heat Prostrations.
The police and hospitals report that heat
prostrations in Washington last evening
numbered four. All the victims were hasti-
ly removed to hospitals. where they re-
Ceived Treatment and were revived.
At about $50 O'Clock last evening George
Willis. colored twenty-five years old, of
81 street southeast was overcome by
heat while walking on Pennsylvania avenue
northwest The Emergency Hospital ambu-
lance took him to that infrmary, where he
was revived.
While walking at 18th street and Pennsyl-
Vania avenue about O'Clock last evening
Madeline West, colored. of $40 Willow Tree
alley southwest. was overcome by the heat.
She was treated at the Emergency Hospital,
where her case was pronounced not serious.
While waiting for train at the Balti-
more and OHIO depot yesterday afternoon
Miss Emma Williams, who gave her ad-
dress as 9lS James street. Allegheny. Pa.
was taken sick. on account of the heat. She
was taken to the Casualty Hospital for
treatment.
Max Cracht of OBJ 10th street northwest
was overcome by the heat at I'd and III
streets northeast yesterday afternoon. He
was revived at the Casually Hospital.
