The up heaval of a small Island off the south ern coast has naturally created some excitement In the colony, especially In the district where this strange phe nomenon occurred. Nothing but the end of the world could. In the eyes of the country peo ple on the adjoining coast, be hap pening when clouds of smake and fire, hundreds ef feet high were belching apparently from the open sea, and they deserted thplr dwellings, en masse and either fell on the road and prayed, or fled to the, woods for shel ter. . . The height of the flames may be understood from the fact that they were seen In Port of Spain, forty miles away. The first Intimation of any thing unusual was on the mornlpg oi Nov. 4 when a fisherman observed a small cone of land protruding from the sea, where he knew no land had existed before. On approaching, he found the water bubbling all round, and getting frightened, rowed away. During the , evening there was a loud report, immediately succeeded by a dense column of smoke and then fire. This continued, but gradually diminished until the early morning. The news was communicated te the' governor, Sir George Le Hunte, the same night, and early next morning he left In one of the government steamers with a small party to visit the place. On arrival it was found that the Island, then about two and one-half acres in extent, was situat ed some two miles off the village of Chatham, In the Bay of Erin, where Cclumbus Is said to have landed on his discovery of Trinidad, and twelve miles from the Boca de la Slerpe, or Serpent's Mouth, the southern en trance to the Gulf of Parla. Although STOCKYARD SCENE a"jr the surface was still hot, the parts Isome of that (jualiiy our of nu liil l managed to land, and found the crUHt fairl hard toward the center of the island. Two craters stood out, about six feet In diameter. The highest point was about fifteen feet above sea level. There was a distinct smell of oil and sulphur, anu gas was sun es caping from the craters. Gas could be heard rumbling below, and in the opinion of an expert who was presenl the phenomena was due to an erup tion of a mud volcano, occasoned by oil gas. The fossilised ' remains of marine animals were noticed. The expert accounted for the blaze by the striking together of rocks con taining iron pyrites, which Ignited the gas, and caused the explosion and fire. XO MORE TIPS." SAY KNIGHTS OF THE GRIP Travelers' Loftguo Starts Crusade Against System That Is Relic of Iood Barbarism. New York. The anti-tipplng cru sade received a stalwart recruit when P. E. Dowe, president of the Com mercial Travelers' National League, came out with the announcement that h's organization will combat the prac tice of giving gratutles to employes of hotels restaurants, barber shops and Pullman cars. Dowe puts It on the broad ground that, not only will the tippers be able to obtain what they pay for regular ly, but the tipped will be elevated from a menial place, dependent on char ity, to that of regular wage-earners. "From today the crusade against tipping will beg n in earnest," says Dowe.. "The victims of this perni cious system realize that to break the chains which bind, it must be now or never." , He declares that hotel and restau rant proprietors are making extraor dlnary profits as it Is. and that their greed Is responsible for tbe system now in vogue. "Tipping shou'd go," he declares. "The old-time fashion of gifts from the rich patron to the poor servant is out of place in the-ie modern daya. Once it was the distinction between the high and mighty and lowly; now the tin is either in the nature of a bribe or an enforced premium upon the contract prices. ."Stop tipping," he Bays, "and the hotel help will be placed In a less nial position and Pullman porters advanced. Stop tipping, and they will become earners of adequate wages, instead of strong-armed and beggars.
