VOLCANIC ISLE SINKS.
Shaken to Pieces, Land Nanishes, All
Inhabitants Drowning.

Toxic. Sept. S.-Shaken to pieces
by terrific eruption that accom-
panied the earthquakes of Saturday,
the volcanic islet of Oshima, pie
turesque site of the city of Mother
of Pearl, sank into the sea, all OF
its inhabitants being killed by spout
ing lava or drowned.
As the island disappeared beneath
the waves, it sent great mountains
of water rushing in upon Yokohama
and the Bay OF Toxic, tidal waves
that carried shipping high on beaches
and drowned many in the cities that
still, were Quivverlng under the earth
| shocks.
OF the island itself, four miles off
the main land, not trace remains
| visible. With its tiny tea houses
and famous caves and magnificent
shell work for which it was famous,
it has gone back into the sea from
which centuries ago it appeared.
Fire, Death and Havoc.
As it passed beneath the waters,
its dying agony was reflected in the
great earthquake and tidal wave that
swept the gay seaccast.
Fire, death and havoc were the
attendants at the funeral of Oshima.
That, summed up, is the story of
what appears TO have been the great
est disaster in modern era of the
worlds history.
Through the ages Japan, scientists
knew. has been sitting over a seeth-
ing furnace. Probably the thinnest
place in the earth's crust was where
the japanese islands jutted from the
seas. Beneath the interior of the
earth was a fiery cauldron. The
fires had vent through Japan's vol
canoes.
1t was as a nation sitting on a
powder box-and the powder explod-
ed through Oshima.
The VOLCANOES death came at noon
last Saturday but its dying struggles
lasted for two days and two nights

INDIAN TOWN
UNCOVERED BY
PSYCHOLOGIST
British Curator Stops Over
Here on Way From
New Mexico.
ONE OF SEVEN CITIES
Louis c. G. Clarke Finds
Implements Of Zuni
Indians.

New Mexico and the Southwest j:
one of the richest spots in the world
for the study of archaeology in the
opinion of Louis c. G.. Clarke, cura
tor of the university museum Of
archaeology and ethnology at Cam
bridge University, Cambridge, Eng
land, who arrived in San Antonio
Saturday night from a two months
examination of the ruins of the In
dian village at Kechepaun in the
Zuni Indian reservation in New
Mexico.
DR.. Clarke carried on his work OF
excavation in conjunction with the
Museum Of the American Indian
under the Heye Foundation OF New
York. At the same time he was ex-
cavating at kechepaun, another
party Of psychologists under Mr..
Hodge was excavating near by at
Hawikuh for the Museum OF the
American Indian. The members Of
the two parties lived together.
A large quantity of pottery and
bone and stone implements was ex-
cavated by DR.. Clarke and a large
number of dwellings were uncovered.
The houses were built Of stone, one
being built on top of another. The
best of the pottery found was that
used as containers of remains Of
cremated bodies, DR.. Clarke said.
Fully 50 of these jars were in per-
feet condition and were shipped di-
rect to the Museum Of the American
Indian. DIR. Clarke said that he
thought it right that the choice OF
the articles excavated ought to be
kept in this country. Consequently
he sent the entire collection TO New
York in order that the museum there
might pick its choice.
Hunted For Years.
The ruins in which DIR. Clarke did
his work of excavation is one of the
seven cities of the Cibolo which were
hunted for years by Coronado. They
were inhabited by Indians before the
arrival Of the Spaniards and for a
number of years afterward. There
is still q large amount of excavation
TO be done in the Southwest, DR.
Clarke stated.
DR.. Clarke arrived in New Yorl
June s and was the guest Of Mr.
Heye in New York, Philadelphia anC
Washington, where he examined tn,
contents of the museums. He arrived
q the Indian ruins July 1 and re
manned there till September 8.
VIII Visit Here.
Dr.. Clarke will remain in Sa1
Antonio for several days the guest
of Col. A. Y. Walton and Richard
v. Negley. He visited Mr.. Negley
here two years ago and entertained
Colonel Walton in London in the
fall of the same year.
DR.. Clarke was reticent on the
question of his impressions of the
United States and the American PEG.
