hr.vlng been found on ithe beacfo here.
Deputy County Clerk element Kuhnol,
, hx-al astronomer and geologist.
statM thM about Stay 1 he noticed
the odor of vhale oil. At the time he
' beleved that possibly .the explosion of
the volcano on Martinique ihnd killed
many fish and probably several I
-whale and they twd floated westward
giving oft the odor noticed by him.
PI rice then bin theory has been fur
ther confirmed by the discovery of
Whalf", and flan floating on the waters

islands.
Prof. Hill advocates the establish
ment of scientific observatories In tfhe
Oarrrbean district for the detection of
the Imminence of volcanic eruptions,
so that human life may be saved a
scientific Institution -racily ar.d econom
ically founded and maintained.
"I think Pelee will smoke nd re
main active for monPhs." said Prof.
Itusiel!. "I hardly Wnk Pelee will
smoulder and blow up In one (ripantlc
exploeSon. I beleve It will quiet down
and KTWdually die away. A new take
will form In the crater, tropical ver
dure will irrew where there, is nothing
but gray ash,
"The people will build new villages
and towns at Is foot and again hold
their holiday r4t-nics on Its side and I
Pelee will remain quiet for probably
V) or 60 years. There should be at
least a seismograph near every volcano
An Instrument which records the
tremors of the earth.
"It was operated by the .Chinese
centuries aao. The Instrument would
give the populace ample warning. The
seismograph at Vesuvius for 35 years
has done satisfactory and valuable
work. There la absolutely no occas
ion for such tremend vis lofs of life
as occurred at St Pierre.
"I do not think Fort de Prance Is
in much dancer from "he vclcano.
I do think she is In .lanr from a tidal
wave. In volcanic districts these ti
dal waves are of frequent occurrence.
They are caused by a sudden upheaval
of the sea 'bottom. In case of suoh
upheaval Fort de France would surely
be wiped out.
"As a safety position from tidal
waves, Mome Rouge is finely situated
as It 4s built on a "high ridge. It ts
about the only town in the volcanic
district so situated."

A NOISELESS TYPEWRITER.
Scientists claim that the exercise
necessary to operate an ordinary type
writer to gefher with Its noise, tend
to 'injure the health and cause nervous
ness. A German inventor has there
fore perfected a machine which Is
operated by air pressure on the key
board, and dos away with the noise
and much of the labor. Its .uloption
may lw one way of preserving health
aTid preventing nervousness, but hre
is a butter and less expensive way,
and that is by using Hosteller's Stom
ach Bitters. All people of ';-dentary
occupation need this wonderful med
icine to aid digestion and to keep the
bowels regular. It will also cure dy
spepsia, biliousness. Insomnia and
nervousness. Dno't be rleeeived Into
taking something "Just as r;ood." There
is no medicine equal to he Bitters.
