The prefect of Catania arr rived on the scene today and took charge of the situation. Immense damage has already been done to surrounding farmlands.
 Nearly all of the inhabitants of the district have left their homes and are now camping in the open fields. They are~ afraid of the earthquakes which invariably have followed erup- tions of the mountain.
 The eruption is accompanied by terrifying rumblings and earth trem blings, and is hourly becoming more violent. Stones and ashes are being thrown from the main crater to a great height and are falling on an area many miles in width. The air is filled with flowing dust and heavy and destructive coating of ashes has covered all vegetation

DISEASE BREEDERS.
Twelve Thousand Consurnptives in Penal
Institutions of Country Fifteen Per
Cent of Prison Population
Affected.

That there are 10000 tubereulous pris-
oners in the state, federal and local
prisons and jails of the United States.
with less than Is special institutions and
hardly 500 beds for their treatment, are
some of the charges made by the National
Association for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis
From several investigations that have
been made, it is estimated that on an
average about fifteen per cent OF the
prison population of the country IS af-
fiicted with tuberculosis. On this basis.
out of the $4,000 prisoners housed IN the
penal institutions of continental United
States at any given time, not less than
10000 are infected with this disease. Ii
the Philippine Islands and other insular
possessions were taken into consideration,
the number would be much larger. Some
of the prisons of Pennsylvania, Kansas
and Ohio show such shocking conditions
with reference to tuberculosis that many
kwardens admit that these places of deten-
ton are deathtraps. Similar conditions
could be found in almost every state, and
in the majority of cases the only sure
remedy is the destruction of the old
buildings and the erection of new ones.
Only tWenty-one prisons in fifteen
states and territories have provided
special places for the treatment OF their
tuberculous prisoners. These institutions
can accommodate, however, only SUI
patients. In threefourths of the major
prisons and in practically all the jails OF
the country the tuberculous prisoner IS al
lowed freely to infect his fellow prisoners,
very few restrictions being placed upon
his habits When the congregate mode
of prison life is considered. the danger OF
| infection becomes greater than in the
general population. New York and
Massachusetts are the only states where
any systematic attempt has been made
to transfer all tubereulous prisoners to one
central institution. The largest prison
tuberculosis hospital is in Manila, where
accommodations for 200 prisoners are pro-
vided The next largest is Clinton Prison
Hospital in New York, which provides for
| $50.
The fact that 100000 prisoners are dis
charged from the jails and prisons of the
country annually, and that from ten to
! fifteen per cent of them have tuberculo-
sis, makes the problem of providing
special places for their treatment while
they are confined a serious one. So inn
portant is the problem that the Prison AS
sociation of New York in cooperation
with the State Charities Aid Association,
is preparing to inaugurate special cam
paign for the prevention OF tuberculosis
! in the penal institutions of the state, and
will seek to enlist the cooperation of all
! prison physicians and antl-tuberculosi
| societies in this work.

Oats for Pasture and Hay.

No farmer in Louisiana who has a head
of stock-be it horse, cow, sheep or hog
should fail to plant good-sized patch
of oats this fall. Probably no farm crop
pays better than oats if we consider the
time during which the land is used, the
small amount of labor required. and the
feed value of an acre of oats. Yet. it is
safe to say that Louisiana does not plant
1 per cent as much oats as it ought to-
Fall-planted oats are preferred to spring
planting The land should be thoroughly
broken and pulverized as early in October
as possible. If it is possible to use land
on which coWpeas have been growing.
this should be done The peas should be
turned under an inch or two deeper than
the usual depth for breaking the land
Oats should be soWn from the latter part
of September to early in November. No

100000, 600 BABY.
Vinson Mclean Protected from Kidnapers
by an deliberately Designed Apparatus
Which Seems Like Prison

A steel cage on wheels, cunningIy
wrought by skilled craftsmen and guarded
by locks of the most complicated design,
for Vinson Mclean, Americas Sf00000,-
600 baby, is the latest and most startling
novelty which two fond parents have
taken to Bar Harbor. Me-, to protect this
boy from kidnapers. This steel cage
perambulator has followed as result of
the recent attempt of burglars to break
into the Edward Beale Mclean home at
Indianapolis.
A thousand curious eyes at a distance
followed the perambulations of the
strange little steel prison in which this
baby now takes his mornings airing. Bar
Harbor society is intensely Interested over
the thousand and one ironcIad safeguards
which have been drawn around this pro-
dizzy of wealth.
The Mclean baby is guarded now as
carefully from all save his nurse and
detective warders as if he were a little
prisoner held as hostage Whenever he
goes out of doors he goes in his carriage
cage, padlocked, and detectives armed
with the latest firearms follow the baby
and his nurse to and fro across the lawn
wherever the ride leads.
The strange, prison-like, baby carriage
is made of wrought steel, with an upper
body that automatically locks with the
hood of the vehicle, the body being set on
wheels and the whole being covered with
fine mosquito netting. Never for an in
stant is the child left without one or
more attendants on guard. Detectives,
private watchmen. thirty house servants
and fifty outside retainers are all en-
listed in protecting this child marvel
from kidnapping. No such wall of pro-
lection has ever before been thrown
around a human being in this country,
These ironclad precautions that have
been taken for the baby McLean's safety
are felt to be necessary by both his father
and mother because. of the wide publicity
that has been given to the chiid's poten-
tial fortune. and the consequent notice
to criminals of the babys value" as a
hostage.
