Doctor Hovey spent l6 days on the
island of Guadeloupe. three OF which
were spent on the summit OF the Sou
friere, where temperature observations
on the fumaroles we're made and sam
pies of escaping gases collected. These
fumaroles have been active, with va.
rying degrees OF strength. during all
the historic period of the volcano. A
marked increase OF discharge Of sui
phurated steam took place at the time
of the eruptions of Martinique ard
St. Vincent, and an area several acres
in extent was then added to the active
region. The vents maintain the force
Of their discharge. but the temperature
does not in any case exceed 100 degrees
c. (212 degrees F.). The eastern mem.
ber OF the twin islands forming Guade-
loupe is sedimentary in origin. Doctor
Hovey spent much OF his time study

history of the Antilles.

hope that the walk has not tired you
too much"
When they got to the door of the
fox's house, he said: Come right in
and sit down. for know that you
must be tired. and perhaps bite of
something to eat will refresh you a
ltttle." The fox was thinking OF the
meal Of green vegetables which the
rabbit had set out for him. ana he was
almost inclined to offer the rabbit
nothing to eat but the meat of fat
turkey, which had been missing for
some days from neighhoring roost
But, = said the fox to himself. that
would be an unkind thing to do to
the rabbit since he has been i'll. and
! suppose he forgot the other day
that foxes do not eat green vegeta-
bleS.s
So instead of the turkey he brought
out some green pea pods. which he
had gathered the day before. and the
rabbit thought ne had never tasted
anything more delicious.
They are the finest ever ate.- he
said TO the fox. as he finished the last
OF them. and 1t was exceedingly kind
