geographical visitor throughout the night,
but on the following morning they had
subsidized and the governor and party set
out In a boat 10 claim the new land for
King George. They neared the island
with extreme care IN the face Of a
choppy sea and head wind. A landing
was effected with difficulty and It was
quickly ascertained that the surface OF
the island was yet warm and very soft
and boiling hot underneath. This made
walking difficult and dangerous. and
boards were used for a footing.
Two Craters on Island.
They found two craters on the island.
five or six feet in diameter, although the
hiehest part OF the entire stretch was not
mof than twelve or fifteen feet above
the Surface OF the sea. Gas was escaping
from the craters and the air was sat
urated with the smell Of sulphur and oil.
Rocks were embedded In the honeycomb
surface OF the island. and as many Of
them contained marked traces OF iron
pyrltes. the theory was advanced that
these rocks, striking together, had caused
the flashes Of fire. The fossllized re-
mains OF several strange marine ami
mails were found In the mud, but other
wise no signs OF sea life we're visible.
II is a tradition in Trinidad that a
flourishing settlement OF Indians once
existed at La Brea, on tho north coast
OF that point Of the island which juts
out toward Venezuela, and that II was
destroyed by the sudden appearance Of
the now famous Pitch Lake there. II is
related that loud explosions were heard
by Indians in other parts OF the island
and that on investigating the cause they
found the camp OF their brothers at La
Brea destroyed and in its place the
STRANGE sight OF n lake OF pitch.

Then again, the men in Havana, heed

whether good or bad Ia concerned. tina,
the barometer affects cigars far NOR
than the thermometer; that the silky

Young
Mothers


No young woman, In the Joy OF
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the phys
ical ordeal she Is to undergo. The
health OF both she and her coming
child depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mothers Friend
prepares the expectant mothers sys-
tenn for the coming event, and its use
makes her comfortable during all the
term. 1t works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all tis-
sues, muscles and teildous, involved,
and keeping the breasts In good con-
dition, brings the woman 10 the crisis
in splendid physical condition. The
baby too is more apt to be perfect and
strong where the mother has thus
prepared herself for nature's supreme
function. No better advice could be
given young expectant mother than
that she use Mothers Friend; it is a
medicine that has proven It's value in

except possibly the first, Geyer snow
cd wonderful pluck and was cohtiiiu-

There was not knockdown In the
nine rounds, but frequently Morris
had his man on the ropes in the
rushes-the ring was II feet square
hut the Denver man showed his game
ness by fighting hard after his lett
eve had been closed. The referee
stopped the bout in the ninth to save
him from further beating.
Geyer opened the fight with rush'

uppercut but received a hard one in

man tried another right but got one
himself in the jaw. Morris then jan

Geyer might be said to have had the

HAYS Defeats Burns.

New Orleans, Nov. 14.-Grover
Hayes of Philadelphia won a decision
over frankie Burns of San Francisco
in ten-round bout here before the
New Orleans Athletic club last night,
After two minutes of fighting from
the opening round, Hayes floored the
Californian with a right to the jaw.
Burns was on his feet in a second and
began boring in for more.
The bout was fast from star, to
finish, both boys being strong and ap-
parently eager.
After the knockdown in the first
round both confined themselves to
infighting until the fifth. In the
eighth Hayes opened up Burns ear
and it was bleeding profusely from
the hard right swings. In the ninth
Burns fought furiously. He kept
Hayes busy protecting himself, land
ing frequently in the mid-section
Just as the gong sounded, Hayes al
most caught Burns off his balance
with terrific right swing to the head.
Burns wavered, but caught himself in
/ time to save a knockdown.
Both We're tiring in the tenth, but
Hayes was stronger and punished his
| opponent with repeated rights and
lefts to the head.
