String Holding Pearls Broke.

NEW YORK, January Mrs. George
ID. Hamlen, who. with her husband. a
physician, occupies a suite in the Pra-
sada apartments 30 Central Park west.
while shopping Thursday lost a necklace
of pearls, valued at $1,000 and yesterday
detectives were securing the shopping dis
tricts in an effort to find the jewels
The necklace, Mrs. Hamlen said, had
been an heirloom for more than a CEN
tury, and while its intrinsic value was
about $i4 OOO it was valued by her at
not less than $4,000.
Before starting for a shopping tour. Mrs.
Hamlen said, she intended to stop at
Tiffany's and have the pearls restrung.
She wore heavy fur coat and the neck
lace was concealed underneath the coat.
Mrs. Hamlen believes it would have been
impossible for any one to have stolen the
jewels After visiting several shops she
was about to order the cabman to drive
her to the jewelry house, when she dis
covered the loss. She then made in
qu.ries at all the counters where she re-
nembered being during the afternoon.
She cou'd find no one however. who
would acknowledge having seen the
Jewels.
Mrs. Hamlen said that she was sorry

on the necklace. She added that she
thought the cord on which the pearls
were strung had broken and that some
one may have picked them I'D and thouebt

BURNING CRATER IN VIRGINIA
NEIGHBORS ARE ALARMED BY
LIGHT AND RUMBLINGS.
It Is on the Side of a Mountain and
Is Steadily Increasing
in Size.

RICHMOND, Va, j-nuary 2.-Great
anxiety is felt by inhabitants of Green
Bank. a small town just across the
boundary line in West Virginia. over the
steadily increasing appearance of a burn
ing crater of seemingly volcanic nature
on the side of the neighboring mountain
within a half mile of that place
Property owners in the vicinity have
been much disturbed by the alarming
features. flames being distinctly visible
a intervals. accompanied by a low.
rumbling noise, of internal distur-
Dances and the burning of heavy timber,
while the air is strong with sulphur
fumes
Right on Border Line.
The smoldering mass of rocks and
trees is on small bluff overlooking a
creek and in Wild land on the western
side of the Alleghenies, directly west of
the Hot Springs in this state. which is
almost on the border. A spring of sui
phur water is near this bluff. and has
been noted among the people for a num-
her of years for having a vile odor and
taste.
Several persons have noticed flames
emerging from small crevice in the
rocks on the mountain, and little was
d.
that possibly it was only bed of coal or
peat blaze. but neither has ever been
found i'm that region far is known
and of late the area of the molten mass
has spread until 1t covers some fifty
square yards. The state geologist Of West
Virginia has specimens from the scene
under examination, but as yet has made
10 report
Specimens Are Being Tested.
Many visitors have come to the little
mountain town to investigate the unusual
disturbance. taking away with them great
quantities of the charred stone and wood
A party from New York spent some time
there last week securing specimens before
leaving.
Several persons while digging about the
sod near the burning section raised hot
embers with their picks from a depth of
six inches below the surface The noun
tains around Green Bank are of a very
irregular shape, there being no even
strata of rocks on them, as is common
in most of the ranges of the Alleghenies,
and appear to have been formed by
tremendous upheaval in the past
Dr. c. Chapman of this city, who has
recently returned from Green Bank
where he has been spending some time
with relatives says that many people
are preparing to leave the place If there
Is any possibility of serious trouble.
