THE BONIN ISLANDS ERUPTION; ADEN AS A BRITISH GARRISON
FURTHER PARTICULANS OF THE DISASTER.
THE ISLAND AND ITS HISTORY,
STATION.
There seems to be din impression among the British Infantry garrison in India that Aden has become a penal station and that, if a regi Further interesting details are availablement is sent there, it is a sign that the military about the eruption in Torijima, one of the authorities are not well pleased with the conduct Islands of the Bonin group (says the Kebe

Pioneer of July 30, though unfortunately a year or two age such a conclusion might have
The captain of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha steamer Hiego Maru in conversation with a reporter of the Mainichi added some parti. culars to his account of the eruption sent to the N.Y.K. office, as given in our yesterday's issue. His vessel landed 30 men with provisions at the island on the 7th inst. and immediately
sailed for the south. There was no indication of a volcanic disturbance at that time. The schooner Aisuka Afuru passod near the island on the 10th at about 10 am, and her crew notice ed black smoke rising behind the island and
heard loud sounds like the firing of guns at intervals of 3 or 5 minutes. The schooner.
COULD NOT MAKE ANY FURTHER OBSERVATIONS,
and reported the matter to the Hiogo Maru ať Hachijojima. The latter immediately left the island (Hachijn) and went to within about one mile of Totijima on the 16th. In the neigh- bourhood of the Island the sea water was being thrown to a height of 640 feet at intervals of 4 or 5 minutes. A surface area of about 1,000 feet was thus disturbed by the submarine volcano. The sight was terrible. Numbers of fish were seen floating dead in the sea for a distance of about four miles around Torijima, The Hiogo Maru approached the island to within about a mile, blowing its, whistle the while. Black smoke was seen rising high from the centre of the island and showers of sand were falling. The aspect and shape of the island had been utterly changed, with the exception of a portion of about one-tenth. Some greca grass was visible in parts but elsewhere it was covered with sand and rock
thrown out of the crater. The inhabitants of the island (over 160 in all were living in a low-lying portion near the coast and right under Yobukoyama
THE HILL WHICH HAD EXPLODED It is not clear if all of them baye perished.
Some of them might have escaped en fishing boats or taken refuge in caves in the island.
One of the crew of the Hoge Maru stated that a pole over to feet high, which stood on the shore of Chitose Bay, could not be seen when the steamer was there, having been covered by lava,
Torijima belongs to the volcanic range of which Fujiyama is er was a member, and the rance extends as far down as the Mariana la-ds. There are, or have been, several
been drawn from a certian movement in relief
which may still be remembered.
As a matter
of fact, before the reliefs were upset by the South African war, it was customary to send a baltalion from India to Aden for a year, regi ments being selected which had nearly finished
their tour of foreign service. Aden thus became talion ordered there had always the consolation à halting-place on the way home; and a bat
of knowing that its stay would be a very short one. This arrangement is now to be reverted 10, as the annual reliefs once more become normal. There are important interests to guard at Aden, more particularly now that the Somaliland question is to the fore, and the garrison should be composed of the most effi cient units that are obtainable. Seasoned trops from India can best meet the requirements t the position.
WASTE AT WOOLWICH.
A 1.465 OF £250,000.
The Tublic Accounts Committee of the House of Commons, of which Sir Arthur Hayter is chairman, has reported the results of an investigation into an extraordinary state of things which was fately brought to light in connection with the Royal Laboratory, one f the ordnance factories at Woolwich Arsenal.
According to the Daily Telegraph, an abso lutely inexcusable waste of brass has been going on for many years, the total loss being as much as £250,000. The revelations were first made by the Comptroller and Auditor General in his report on the accounts of the Ordnance Factories, who explained that on ao examination of the "remain" of the Royal Laboratory stores it was observed that the "ashes" of the brass foundry
and rolling mills were in March, 1901. valued at £5 175. Gd. and £6

perton, whereas earlier in the year the price obtained on sale had only been 35. 4d. perton At first the Chief Superintendent expressed the opinion that the principal foremen of the fact ories were the persons to blame for the
HEAVY WASTE of valUABLE MATERIAL that has been going on for many years. After wards he stated that the superintendents were responsible, though they must, he thought, depend upon their foremen to report these things.
The Committee consider that the waste. occurred through the want of practical know- ledge and training on the part of those occupy.
marine volcanoes in the range, and those in the north-west of Kira Iwojima were active urth a few years ago Torijima was composed of vatcanic rocks and there were two extincting the chief position of authority in the several craters on the top of the highest peak, which is 1,176 feet above sea-level. There must have Been two truptivus ie the inrmation of the two craters, but the dates of these eruptions are unknown. The recent eruption is reported to have formed several new craters and it is un- derstood that these were formed around the old craters. Regar 'ing
THE SUBMARINE VOLCANO
it is not clear if this eruption occurred from an old centre of disturbance.
The island itself had no spring of water, but vegetables were fairly abundant. There were about 160 inhabitants at this season but the sumber doubled as a rule toward winter when sea-birds come there to lay their eggs.
Mr. Tamaki, lessee of the island, made a large fortune by the collection of feathers and guano but his loss by the eruption will be very large. The active volcanoes in this range at present are Oshima, Kita Iwo Iwo, Naka, and Minami Iwo islands. It is feared that the last three islands may also have broken into erup- tion and a ship will be sent to make enquiry there. The volcano at Torifima is reported to have been in action in 1972.
The cruiser Takachiho, which was to be sent to Marcus Irland to bring back marines left by the Kasagi, will be sent to Torijima in a day or two. Several officials from the Tokio Fu and Home Department will proceed to the is- land on board the cruiser The vessel is in the Yokosuka dock undergoing repairs and will be ready to go to sea to-morrow.
[It is clear from the foregelag supplementary account that the disturbance has not thrown up a new volcanic island Merely the agitation of the sea was meant, although some papers mentioned the appearance of a new island.} -
SWEDISH HORROR.
INJANE WOMAN KEPT IN A CAGE FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS.
A terrible piece of barbarity has just been brought to fight in a village in the Swedish province of Werneland. Here a woman clad only in a single garment and in a horrible state of filth was found secured in a cage, securely padlocked and fastened with strong wooden bars. It appeared on investigation that she had not been outside this cage for the past
seventeen years.
The
EXPLANATION OF THIS HORKOR
is that the unfortunate woman, who was married and belonged to a good family, went out of her mind some seventeen year ago, and as there was no room in the Swedish asylums she was committed to the care of some peasants in this village for a yearly stipend of £11.: This was how they executed their commission and how she was left by those who had known her until the inspecting police discovered her.
All Sweden is ringing with indignation at this fearful story.
