Trinidad, British West Indies.-If
you stand at Erin point, on the south
ern shores Of this island, and gaze out
into the Atlantic ocean toward the
coast of Venezuela, you will see why
British dominions are larger by two
and a half acres than they were be
fore Saturday, Nov. 4.
On that date an island of the vol
canic type, not uncommon in southern
waters, thrust itself above the sea,
with characteristic rumble, kissing Of
gases and flashes of fire, greatly to
the alarm Of the people on the Trini-
dad shore.
The new island has not yet been
named, and as it's composition is large
~ oozy blue mud or clay, it is doubt
full II it will Withstand the attacks of
the sea. Any day it is apt to disap-
pear whence it came and Great Brit

sion. The enterprising governor OF
Trinidad visited the island with a
party Of officials shortly after it made
its appearance, ready to plant the
union Jack on the warm ooZy soil; but
measurements showed that the island
was within the three mile limit and
planting the flag was unnecessary.

q ISLAND RISES IN THE SEA y

Of the islands birth, but there Is much
that is interesting about the phenom
enon that is known only to those resi-
dents of points along the Trinidad
coast who either witnessed the occur
renee or cautiously visited the new
land before it had had time to cool
DR.. Fredholm, resident OF Trini-
dad. says that the island was probably
thrust up by the pressure Of gas orig
mating from the decomposition of
carbonaccous matter found IN connec-
ton with asphalt deposits for which
Trinidad is famous. He predicts that
a flow of asphalt may follow and an
asphalt lake may make its appearance
on the island
IF no flow of asphalt follows, how
ever" he says, "the only result Of the
upheaval will be a mud volcano so
common along the southern shore.
Such a volcano on bank raised but
| slightly above the sea level would
probably not remain above the sur
face very long, for the debris would
soon be washed away and the vents,
once below water, would become
choked by sedimentary deposits. 1t
would therefore not be surprising if
the new island dropped into the sea
again as quickly as it emerged"
Residents of the little settlement of
Erin and Chatham, on the southern
coast of Trinidad, were greatly terri
fed when the island appeared, and
many of them fed from their homes
dragging their belongings into the
streets or rushed to the churches.
Great fear was in tie minds of all,
as memories of Martinique were awak-
ened.
A fisherman, at midday. on Saturday,
Nov. 4, first noticed signs of disturb
ence in the sea. The water was dirty
and murky, but no land was then in
sight. But about O'clock that even.

embedded in the h'.neycomb surface

caused the flashes of fire. The fossil

DON'T LET METCALF DO 1T

B It becomes evident that the Metcalf Compensation
bill now before the legislature and known bill 49,
will be more popular with the employers and insur
companies than the bill proposed by Governor
Hays commission The commission bill, while crit
iczed regards several features placed payment of
compensation in the hands of the state where it
Tightfully belongs.
Metcalf's bill is more generally favored by the
big interests as easily may be eeen from reports
cmanating where employers hold forth.
Section As of Metcalf's bill has the following pro
vision, which shows that self insurance on the part
of the employer enters into the BILL It was this very
self INSURANCE that the Hay commission wished to
get away from. 1t looks as though the Metcalf bin
contains Joker which would allow the insurance
companies chance to fight claims like they did
over in Oregon before that wise young state took
fall out of the insurance companies by passing real
liability law Read this provision of section As:
IF the employer is insured by means of self-in-
Surance, that 49, by account representing part of
his asset and carrying the risk or specific part of
it on plan for periodical paid credited in
to the account by fund granted set aside sep
arately by him in trust for the purpose, then:
1.-THE compensation schedule of such insurance ac-
count or fund may, in all payments, be substituted
for the schedule described in this codes provided it
is duly pursuant to law substantially equivalent
to this code in the benefits secured to the employee
This little paragraph apparently has all the ear
marks OF Joker" which wonld provide for the
usual litigation on the part of insurance companies.
Metcal in this paragraph, to all intents and pur-
poses, destroys whatever virtue his bill might have
possessed.
Paragraph E of section % STIMULATES that:
No employe or dependent or other person inter-
ested in such compensation shall be entitled to COM
mence maintain any action at law or suit in equity
for such compensation until the amount thereof shall
have been determined as herein provided and then
only for the amount awarded and according to the
terms and conditions of the award and the benefits of
this code
This paragraph appears before Metcalf's provis-
lon that the insured employee dependent shall be
turned over to the tender merces of an insurance
company.
Every man. woman and child who labors in Wash
ington should send his senator at Olympia letter
