VOLCANIC ERUPTION
KILLS 500 NATIVES
British Hospital Buildings In Ambrim
Island Are Destroyed by Spout
ing Flames and Lava.


Sydney, n. S. W, Dec. 22.-Five hun
dred natives lost their lives and the
British hospital buildings were wiped
out of existence by a volcanic eruption
on Ambrim island, in the New Hebrides,
according to incoming steamers.
With a terrific roar, which was fol-
lowed with a rapid succession of artlI-
lery-liSe detOnatiOns, all the craters of
the volcano entered into full activity,
spouting flames and lava, and throw
ing huge bOulders. Great streams OF
lava soon were rushing down the
slopes, cutting off the villagers from
escape. In one instance two torrents
of the molten mass Joined and made an
island of one entire section of village.
Here so or 90 persons persisted.
The scenes at night were awe-inspir-
ing. Flames shot in the air to a height
of 1000 feet, Illuminating the whole
scene Of destruction. The ocean seemed
to boil, as laIlge, superheated masses of
stone fell into the sea and streams Of
lava poured into the bay. Dust from
the craters gradually formed a black
cloud, which blotted out the light Of
the stars.

Maintained Belief in Ignorance.

Opposition to state education in the
past was due largely to a belief that
too rnuch learning was not good for
the masses. The worthy Hannah
More even, who was one Of the most
earnest supporters of the movement
for the establishment of schools for
the poor in England, had very definite
ideas as to how far the children
should be educated. The curriculum,
she declared, should comprise only
reading the Bible and the catechism,
and such coarse works as may fit the
children for servants" adding deci-
sively, II allow of no writing for the
poor"
