great wilderness of rock, sand and mud, covering twenty eight and a half acres, is Indeed one of the sights of the me tropolis, for in it great steam shovels are plodding about, miniature freight trains loaded with refuse are steaming to and fro, great derricks are swinging. steam drills are biting deep into the rocks and great blasts of dynamite are constantly rending the hard founda- ton stone of Father Knickerbocker's island. A ton of dynamite is used each day In the blasting. During the day some 1,SG0 laborers swarm over the excavation, and as soon as night sets in, their places are taken by shift of 1.700 more. who work through the dark hours under the glare of great high-power electric lights and search lights. The most spectacular part or the work is the operation of the great steam shovels, which, with their long necks and powerful jaws. gobble up whole mountains of earth and lose rock and resemble prehistoric monsters that have cone back to life with an ac- cumulated appetite of several thousand years.

VESUVIUS OUTBREAK
VOLCANO IN PREPARATION A YEAR
 FOR THIS ERUPTION.
Earth's Crust Is Contracting. Theo- ries of the Scientists as to CauAe and Tendency of Volcanic Ex-
 plOsions. Historiish
 Events.

New York American.
 The present eruption of Vesuvius fs the greatest that has tsccurred since the outburst of 1872.
 It appears to have been extremely withstanding the terror that IL haI inspired and the extensive devastation that 1t has wrought, there is reason to believe that 1t has already spent It's greatest force and will now gradually die out without reaching the dimen- sions of a really first-class eruption The chief source of the comparative safety of Naples and the cluster oi cities surrounding the foot of the Ia nous volcanic at the present time Is the regularity with which the safety valve of Vesuvius blows off.
 Once In awhile, as on this occasion tkere appears to be an unusual obstfuc tion in the craters throat, and then an explosion occurs, opening new vents; the mountain to use Palmierl's ,ivid expressions, "sweats fire" and more or less destruction of life and property results. But so long as minor erup' tions occur a s frequently and regularly as they have done during the last half century there is very little or no dam- ger of the recurrence of a catastrophe like that which put an end tn Pompeii and Herculaneum.
 Outbreaks Follow QQuiescence.
 One of the dearest facts developed by the history of Vesuvius and other volcanoes is that eruption ot extreme violence and long duration invariably follow extended periods of qulescence
 Before the destruction or Pompeli Vesuvius had been so long uulet thai he lon ay,- h-.I 14 n indicate their danger. The fact thai Vesuvius was living volcano had passed out of human memory. Then when the explosion finally came, IL was of corresponding power. But. as iS well known. Vesuvius now breaks out every few years commonly not with great intensity but occasionally vary ing the performance with an exhibi- tion like that of 1872 and the present one These eruptions are. in themselves an assurance against greater ones which would occur if the mountain

HIGGINS SIGNS BILL.
Two More Measures for Control (
 Insurance.


 Albany. N. r., April Ex-Governor Higgins by his signature today placed upon the statute books two more of the bills of the special insurance investiga- ting committee.
 The bill postponing the annual cleo tion of the four mutual companies was approved by the governor some time ago. The bills signed today are: Amending the general corporation law by inserting the words, except a life insurance corporation" in the provision of the law permitting corporations to deal in real estate. The act takes ef- feet immediately; Adding a new section to the penal code reading as follows. Any persons knowingly receiving any rebate or allowance or deduction from any premium or any valuable thing, special favor or advantage whatever as an inducement to take any policy of life insurance not specified in the policy is guilty of a misdemeanor."
 The act is to take effect on the first day of September next
 When the "big bill" generally amend ing the insurance law passed by the assembly yesterday was handed down in the Senate this morning Senator Armstrong, chairman of the investigat- ing committee had 1t substituted for the identical Senate bill on the order of third reading. By this procedure the assembly bill should it pass the Senate without amendment would go to the governor. On the other hand any amendment made by the Senate must be concurred in by the assembly before becoming effective.

with more or less intensity, at compar- atively short periods. It Is worth re- marking that Palmieri. not long be- fore his death, expressed the opinion that Vesuvius was preparing for somewhat unusual exhibition.
 Methods of Prediction.
 The oncoming Of an eruption can be predicted with certainty. although neo- essarily no precise date can be fixed for 1t. There are always preliminary tremors and earthquakes. many or which are noticed only by those who are watching the seismographs and seismometers which are capable or re- cording trembling on the ground that would otherwise pass without remark
 In this particular case special indi- cations of coming trouble have been given for year or more by Etna' on the Island of Sicily and by the Light house of the Mediterranean" the little volcanic island of Stromboli. which re- gently had an eruption of extraordina- ry force Vesuvius, Stromboli and Etna all lie upon the same line of weakness' in the earth's crust. where the internal fires of the globe seem to approach comparatively close to the surface.
 the view of Humboldt that earthquakes and volcano explosions tend to recur over wide areas of the globe nearly simultaneously after long intervals of a century or moro. Ever since the ex- plosion at Martinique, and for short time previous to that, there have been notable disasters of this kind in Amer lea, Europe, Asia and some of the Pa cific islandA Phenomena so widespread as these are to be ascribed primarily to the stress produced in the rocky shell of the globe by its slow shrinking upon the receding core of heated. though not necessarily molten. material forming the interior of the earth.

rested and accumulated force long

rested and accumulated force long enough between times.
 But what 1t may be asked. is the nature Of the force thus accumulated? Among the many theories attempting to account for volcanic action there is the agency of water and steam. This Is especially true of volcanoes which. like Vesuvius, build up immense hay stack shaped craters. These are the product of explosions, blowing rocks, cinders and ashes to great heights, whence they fall back and pile up iso- leted mountains. with slopes as steep as the law of gravity will allow.
 Explosions Due to Steam.
 The explosions are mainly or entire ly due to steam. formed from water which has percolated to the roots of the volcano and come into contact with heated rock. But 1t does not necessar- fly follow that the water has simply leaked down through cracks from tho sea or other surface reservoirs
 Vesuvius, like the entire chain of volcanic vents to which 1t belongs. stands upon or rises out of water-oear- ing rocks. and these rocks may slowly become saturated without the exfs- tence of any notable cracks or crevices leading to them from the sea. During long periods of rest the tension of the steam and other gases formed In tho rocks beneath a volcano becomes very great. Tn the meantime the debris and solidihed lava choking the main vent Of the volcano becomes an obstacle of slowly increasing power of resistance.
 At length, owing to some subterra- mean cause, arising probably from the gradual contraction of the earth's crust, the tension of the imprisoned vapor is suddenly increased, their ex- pansive force becomes irresistible and all Instructions are blown away with frightful violence.
 Three Great Historical Events.
 The three most familiar historical examples of such outbursts. after a quiesence extending in some cases over many centuries are the destruction of Pompeii by Vesuvlus, and of St. Pierre bV Mont Pelee and the blowing to frag- ments of nearly the whole island of Krakatoa in the Strait of Sunda in 1884
 The peculiar thing about Vesuvius is that, after It's one supreme effort in the year 7s. 1t has remained more or less active as a safety valve ever since, Yet at times 1t has had periods of rest longer than normal. and in every such Instance the violence of It's subsequent outbreak has been increased.
 Since the observatory was establish ed on its flank by the late Professor Palmieri 1t has continued to break out,

Gotham is having one good laugh out of the insurance muddle anyway.

Peabody is simply a sort of insurance Black Hand. at tached to the Standard Oil strong arm, and the suits begun by his company to recover the million or so spent by the McCurdy family are merely fakes to divert the gallery and will never come 10 trial You're only lawyer hired by Lawson to make a fuss" retorts MT Peabody.
