THE aGOUFFRE" OF HAYTI.
Strange Sounds That Seem to Come
From a Great Depth.

The island Of Hayti, which IS sit.
uated in neighborhood where the
earth is in a continual state Of trem-
or, is visited by peculiar earthquake
sound which is locally called the
"gouffre''. The region Of the "gouf-
fre" is in the mountain range OF La
Selle, which is about 1000 feet high,
and which unstable still, gives much
evidence of past volcanic activity.
The sounds are apparently the same
as those accompanying noticeable
earthquakes, and the name "gouffre'
is applied to both.
It's noise extends sometimes over
periods Of weeks and the vicar OF
Croix des Bouquets, fifteen miles
north of the mountain range, gives
he following description OF it.:
During the day the sound was heard
from the southeast and seemed to
,ome from a great depth. 1t was like
-, deep roaring and then at times like
he bowling of a dog. From time to
lime. it stopped with hollow boom
which might be taken for a distant
cannon shot.
During the night it was different
although the sound came from dif-
ferent direction; there was a perfect
tumult, runbling thunder, bowling
and a sound like the rushing OF a
strong wind. There was no wind
however. Sometimes one heard all
the noises at once. Generally, and
above all, from to 10 o'clock al
night, the sound ended with a loud
detonation much stronger than in the
day, followed by long echo. Then
again would be heard an outburs'
that cannot be imagined. 1t was as
if a mountain of glass were shattered
and the noise echoed in all directions
At time it seemed as if one could
hear the roar of surf. or even the
dead thud Of objects falling. such a:
blocks of stones rolling down preci
pices."

HONORED In GERMANY
TRIBUTE TO THE GENIUS OF DIR.
J. MARION SIMS.
Who Was the First American Physi-
clan Ever Consulted by the Royalty
of the Old World.

of the Old World.
, The New York Sun says it is graf
flying to note that the day on which
the pioneer Of gynecology saw the
light has been remembered in that
severely scientific nation, Germany.
The great regard in which men who
have accomplished things for the
| worlds betterment are held in that
country has contributed materially to
the renown and prosperity of its peo-
pie. Our republican simplicity has at
times revolted at what Is euphemistic-
ally called hero worship.
It is a significant fact, nevertheless,
that the achievements of its citizens
are the most valuable assets Of a
country. Regarded even in this un-
sentimental light the courage and
genius of our ]. Marion Sims in orig
mating an entirely new branch Of
surgery deserve to be commemorated
and to be held up to the present gen.
Grafton as an example for emulation.
DR.. J. Marion Sims, native Of
Lancaster, S. c., emigrated to Mont
gomery, Ala, in order to enlarge his
field of practice. There he devised a
method Of surgical procedure for the
repair of serious injuries which In
that preantisentic day was made pos
sible only by the substitution Of the
silver suture for the silk suture. So
fruitful was this and other work Of
DR.. Sims for the welfare Of suffering
women that his fame spread to Eu-
rope, and he was the first American
physician consulted by royalty.
Those whose happy privilege it was
to know this grand man personally
were not surprised that he rapidly
became the valued adviser of the
nobility. In him were disceEped all
those elements Of character which
are the attribute Of true nobility;
simplicity almost childlike, sympathy
almost feminine, courtesy without os-
tentation; the charming manner, the
kindling eye, the cordial handgrasp
bespoke a great soul, as did his deft-
ness betoken the great surgeon.
The Muenchner Medizinische Wo-
ehenschrift in a recent issue publish
ed an excellent portait Of DR.. Sims
with an appreciative sketch Of his
life, concluding that America is en-
titled to honor in the history of op-
erative gynecology. The names OF
Mcdowell, Mott, Battey, Emmet,
Bozeman, Edebohis and Kelly will
be known for all time, but none
shines with such lustre as the name
of J. Marion Sims"

BODIES HID IN CELLAR

PUT THEM THERE.
Says Mother Made Her Promise Be-
fore She Died Not to Give Body to
CndertakerS.

A queer case was brought to ligh'
in St. Louis, Mo-, when the bodies o.
Mrs. Ernestine Kommichau and he1
daughter, Selma, were uneartheo
Wednesday afternoon in the base
ment Of building at 2412 South
Broadway, Marie Kommichau, anoth'
er daughter confined in the City Hos,
pital with broken leg, is under ar
rest and will be held pending an in
vestigation. The three women occu-
pied the house three months ago.
Three weeks ago, Marie said, her
sister had died and the mother had
taken the body to Illinois for burial.
Albert Stuhr, owner Of the build
ing, visited the premises and reported
the peculiar odor to the authorities.
Detectives located the newly made
grave and the bodies were found par
TALLY encased in concrete.
Before my mother died, she made
sister and me promise that We would
not take her body out Of the house,
so the undertakers could get her."
said Miss Kommichau. eve had no
doctor for her-there has not been a
doctor in our house for ten years,
and a good doctor could have done
mother no good.
81 put her body in showcase,
which we took from the notion store,
and poured plaster OF paris around
the glass cracks to keep the air out.
We kept the showcase containing the
body upstairs in a rear room. No
one knew for none OF the neighbors
had paid any attention to mother and
they did not inquire about her.
"When sister died, I knew that peo-
pie would ask about her, and II they
found out I was keeping her body
they would ask about mother, too.
Sol told the neighbors that mother
had died and that selma had taken
he. to Illinois for burial.
tsThen I took both bodies into the
basement. I laid Them on the base
ment floor and poured plaster paris
and cement over them"
Marie said that she needed help IN
removing the body Of her mother
from the showcase and called in a
German woman who was passing the
store and whom she never saw before.
"she was clumsy" continued
Marie, 'tand was no help. told her
she needn't mind about staying. l
never saw her again and don't
know whether she ever told any one
Marie said that one man, Adam
Allmeroth, living in the city, knows
Of the deaths.
sHe is a very religious man." said
Marie. 'tHe has called on Us now and
then for long while. He said pray
ers over mothers body and over SIS
ter,s body. I don't think he knew the
bodies were buried in the basement,
for I don't remember Of ever telling
him.
Marie asked the police not to allow
the bodies Of her mother and sister
to be removed from the house. Mrs.
Ernestine Kommichau was 7S years
old and Selma SO years. Marie Is
4s.
The bodies were so disintegrated
that Identification was difficult.
From the neck Of each was suspend
ed a crusifx. At the feet OF each
was porcelain urn Of the kind some
times used to hold holy oil. The
graves were decorated with two small
cedar trees, a wire cross aad a mus
sell shell. Under the corpses was a
layer Of quicklime.
