but the eruption Of 20, A. d., blew
this to ashes and reduced It to about
1000 feet.
The crater OF the old dormant
volcano was the scene of one of the
most stirring dramas in Roman his.
tory-the fight for liberty of the
gladiator Spartacus. A Thracian b.
birth, Spartacus had been seized by
the Romans while quietly tending
his focks and sold TO trainer Of
gladiators. He revolted at tho
cruelty OF being forced to fight with

The Romans sent small force to
capture him, but he destroyed them
Dissatisfied men came to join him
every day and increased his army.
The Roman practor Clodius was
sent aga inst Spartacus with an army
OF 5000 men. Clodius guarded the
exit from the crater with part OF his
force and then descended the crater
In pursuit OF the rebel. Spartacus
and his men climbed the walls Of the
crater by means OF the vines, then
fell on the Romans from above and
destroyed them.
After this Spartacus collected an
army of 100000 men and overran
Southern Italy, sacking many of it's
principal cities. Spartacus defeated
one Roman general after another, in
GLIDING the important Crassus.
Finally the Roman Senate called
back Lucullus from Asia and Pom
pey from Spain. and all these to-
gether crushed poor Spartacus.

In the National Antarctic Expedition volumes

The expedition found that rents on seals are
exceedingly common, both recently inflicted

ferers are the Lobodon seals, which live habit

Ing bands, and from the excessive hurry In
which they are often seen to leave the water
when herd Of killers is in sight 1t is evident
that they know their danger sufficiently we'll.
Moreover, the repugnance they show to re-en.
tering tho water even when chased by men or
dogs upon the Ice is an additional proof that
they knew quite well where their customary
danger lies. and that they feel It Is safer to
tackle an unknown and novel risk on the ice
than to face what they know to be- certain
danger in the water"
Unlike the whales OF the northern climes
which feed on minute forms OF sea life, the
Killer Is carnivorous and more ferocious than

One place the Scott expedition Wis.
tied was christened the Bay of
Whales because it was yeritable
playground for these monsters. The
killer would be seen resting his head
on the edge of foe and looking
about with his wicked little eye for
a seal or penguin. These he would
try to knock off by rising under the
foe, and on one occasion party OF
three men. who spent an anxious
twentyfour hours adrlft on 4 tloe,
related that the killers were trying
this experiment with them.

he lerror Of the Antarctic--A Man-killing Whale

Z n the narratives published by the first Ma.
tional Antarctic Expedition under the late
L. Captain Scott references were made to the
extra ordinary ferocity and curious habits Of the
killer whale, huge piobald blubber-covered
monster that is the terror OF the Antarctic seas
Ernest Shackleton indeed, made the astonish
ing statement that a killer whale had attempted
to tip some OF his men off piece of foe.
This seems at first hearing to be fantastic
travellers tale but it is evident from Captain
SCOTS latest narrative that this huge beast ac-
tually has the acuteness TO perceive that he can
roll his prey eff the ice into the sea, where he
is usually able TO capture and eat It. There is
no doubt that the killer whale does introduce
his huge bulk under mass OF floating ice and
attempt to roll his prey into the water The
killer whale has evidently practised this trick
with innumerable seals who have endeavored
to escape his huge jaws, and finding some men
in a similar position to the seals, he attempted
to catch them by similar device
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1913-11-16

The killer whale is usually some
fifteen feet I'm elngth. 1t hunts in
packs of a dozen or q score, or some
times many scores. The killer whale
has been seen in McMurdo Sound
from the middle of September to the
end of March, and the scars that they
left on the seals, more particularly on
the crab-cating seal OF the pack ice,
afforded abundant testimony to their
vicious habits.

Census of Agriculture
Will be Taken by U.
S. in the Year 1915

Washington. -. C., Feb. is,--On.
OF the most elaborate subjects dis
cusscd In the annual report OF Dircc-
tor Durand Of the bureau Of the cen
sus. recently submitted to tn. sccrc-
tary OF commerce and labor. L. that of
the proposed duinducnnial census oi
agriculture In 1918.
The thirteenth census art con
tains provision that thcr. shall he
Ia 1915 and one. every ten years
thereafter a census Of agriculture"
and livestock. acreage Of farm land
and OF principal crops. etc.
One OF the chief causes OF the i'm
perfection OF the recent census of
agriculture has been the great ciab-
oration OF the schedules. The agri-
cultural schedule OF 1910 was not
much more detailed than that OF 1900
yet II con,alncd spaces for more than
500 Items regarding each farm.
Many Of the inquiries, of course. did
not apply to the majority o. farms.
but their presence on the schedule
nevertheless made 1t confusing and
discouraxin. to the .numcra,or and
to the farmer. Among the Inquiries
were many which the average farm
cr could not be expected To answer cX-
opt by the toughest nor, OF est imatcs.
Either the public must get along
without 50 much agricultural infor-
nation. or n part OF the Information
must he secured by other methods
than that OF general enumeration.
The population statistics OF the
thirteenth census. like those of the
two preceding censuscs. have been
tabulated by means OF punch Q d-card
system. Prior 10 the thirteenth CEN
sus the punching machines and ciec-
trical tabulating machines required
In connection with this method of
tabulation were rented from private
concerns. Those used at the thir.
icenth census. on the other hand,
were devised by experts employed BY
the bureau and We're either con-
structed in the machine shop OF the
bureau or by outside concerns un-
der contract. Thus the census bu-
reau now owns its tabulating ma
chincry. These machines have been
greatly improved by the addition OF
new devices. which materially re-
duces the expense OF tabulation.
As the result OF the Expenditures Of
the census bureau during the past
few years for dovising and construct
ing tabulating machinery. the bu-
reau now has in Its possession ma
chimes which can be used with little
additional investment for futur CEN
suses. The present tabuiating ma.
chimes will. with little modification.
prove adequate to the needs of the
bureau for several ccnsuses to come.
One OF the difficult questions con-
fronting the bureau OF the census is
the extent to which census statistics
shall be tabulatcd and published with
reference to small areas. Naturally
1t is proper that more details should
be published for the United States ms
a whole and for the states as units
than for such areas as counties. vii
lages. wards OF cities. or still smaller
areas. The drawing of the line with
respect to the amount of detail to be
tabulated for small areas has for the
most part been left by congress to
