place. The subjects of observation
have included lava levels, tempera-
ture, and other phenomena relating to
the fiery lake above which the OBJ
servatory is located. There have also
been seisn biographical work and the
regular routine of observations. An
other party, with George Carroll Cur
tbs for its leader, has been mapping
the crater with the intent of setting
up in the University Museum at Cam
bridge a model comparable in refine
ment with those already there from
the studio of Mr. Curtis.
The Carnegie Institution investiga-
tors, DR.. A. L. Day and E. S. Shepard,
have studied principally the gases that
arise from the crater. 1t is practically
a new research, as most of those now
under way in the region are. DR..
Shepard has been able to catch the
gases from blow holes of the molten
lava before they really came into con-
tact with the air, and the investigation
will throw light on their probable
origin. The argument runs some
what along this line. Argon is a con
stituent of the atmosphere, but is moi
found in the crater gases, and conse
quently these have not been in contact
with the air or with surface waters
1t is generally believed that water
within the earth coming into contac
with intensely hot material is The
cause of eruptions. If this watel
were seepage from the surface i
would carry with it content of argon
The conclusion is, therefore, that thu
water is not seepage, and that Their
is water naturally deep below tn
surface of the earth.

= Transcript.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1913-12-30

Well does this narrator recall his con-
duct during the dreadful scourge of
yellow fever which swept over the
South in the year 1878, when, after
sending his own family to the country,
Mr. st. John continued at his post OF
duty night and day through all the
dreadful experience of that scourge
when panic reigned supreme from the
nineteenth of August to the middle of
November. Though hundreds of his
acquaintance and friends died in the
meantime he went day after day to
his office and there kept friends, loved
ones and the outside world advised as
to conditions within the town which,
under a strict quarantine, was kept
bottled up until the first frost of the
season came early in November.
A number of times in past years
the railroad officials have urged Mr..
St. John to retire upon a pension, but
always heretofore he has persistently
asked to be allowed to remain on the
active roll of service and so highly
was his spirit of true fidelity been hon.
ored by the company, that in retiring
him now on full pay they allow him
to remain as the office manager, but
supply operators to do all the work.
1t would be objectionable to close
a sketch of such life of faithful ser
vice without saying what is true, al
! to the moral and religious life of the
man who though for nearly three score
years he followed a vocation which
required of him seven days of service
each week, has never used liquor o.
tobacco, perhaps never uttered al
oath or had an impure thought, a mai
whose creed was service and who's
religion was to love his work and littl
children. Such is the character an
life service of this most interesting
and unique man as it is recalled to thi
writer by the news that he has at las
come face to face with the grim fac
that no measure Of fidelity can sta
the march of time which in every cas-
demands that the place in the lin
must, soon or late be taken by thos
who come after. II ever a man wa

his office at seven o'clock in the morn
ing and leaving his telegraph key
promptly at the hour of seven in the
evening, provided his night relief was
ready to go to work, but never in any
instance would he leave his post until
relieved. So regular were the habits
of this man that it was through the
years no uncommon thing for people
along the route from his office to his
home, to set their time pieces by his
movements. His business was always
so cared for that when the hour of
noon arrived one watching the door OF
the Canton telegraph Office could al
most with absolute certainty count on
