| THE CRATER OF MONT PELEE.
Remarkable New Formation.
Observera are much interested in the present appearance of the crater of Mt. Polda in Martinique, which exploded with such diesstrous effect in 1902. A home journal says no such amazing phenomenon has ever been beheld by the eyes of science, and the geologiste of the gifted world are watching and studying this extraordinary: now activity of olcado. Somewhere down in the towels of the earth a pressure is being brought to hear on the molten interior of the mountain like the squeezing;/ of a giant nut-cracker. Up through thu“. volcario, filling completely the mouth of the crater, rises a mass of white-hot and soft rock, which is cooled by the air and rises suddenly upwards for me e than half-a-mile above the top of the mountain. English, French, German, and American scientist are now at Martinique 'taking measurements and studying this unique cruption.
It is stated that reputable observers agreo in the particulars given. Prior to the series of eruptions which practically wiped out the town of St. Pierro the top of Mt Pelco was like a great cup half-a-milo across and in places 2,000 feet-more than 1376 a third of a mile-deep. On the south-west
side, towards St. Pierre, there was a deep gash in the crater's rim, and through this the lava ran down the mountain le in a broad river after the eruption. The form of this crater was considerably changed by The rim had crumbled in several places, and within a month or two fafterwards it was observed that the usual cones of cindera were form-

immediately lost. But afterwards it was mado plain that the enormous weight of the obelisk was not yet beyond the resources of the machinery down below. The Ruinmit continued to rise higher-and it is still ri sing! All this, observers agree, makes it mathematically certain that the great monolith extends far down beneath the surface of the crater. Otherwise it would not be held so firmly erect. There must he a huge bore. with hundreds of feet of per- pendicular longth, with sides polished like the bore of a rifle, through which the ma- terisl of the obelisk is forced, cooling and hardening as it movos slowly upwards. To conceivo of this operation one must imagine the bore ending at the bottom in'p reservoir of white-hot lava, which is ever increasing in quantity, and of which this bore is the only outlet. There is nearly always pres- aure enough to support the weight already within the bore, and as yet the foroos back of the reservoir have never been long unequal to the task of compelling the whole column to rise to make room for additions to the bottom: This bore does not occupy the whole of the crater's area. The obelisk, which must have the same diameter as, the bore, is between the crater's centre and the north-east rim. While the new. cone, form ed about what appears to be the foundation of the obelisk, is composed of a variety of 1805 materiale and crumbles easily, the obelisk itself is homogeneous, being, solid rock moulded from hot and plastic material into its present shape. Great ribs or dikes of cooled lava extend outwards from the but. tom of the obelisk, and above those on one. side it is fissured in every direction where portions of the surface have been dislodged during the mountain's convulsion of labour in bringing it forth. But on the north-east side there is a plain imprint of the bore in which it was moulded as it passed upwards. Here the surface is polished by friction and contains many grooves, always per pendicular. From this side, in the sun. light, the great shaft has the appearance of a dazzling white marble monument rising out of the mountain's top. The aides, which are roughened by fissures, are à reddish grey in colour, and seem to have the the texture of pumice.

The Tibetan signatories were the To Ripoche or the Regent, four Shapes, as members of Council, the Abbots of the three great monasteries of Debung, Sera and Gaden, and a representative of the The Amban asked National Assembly. that the assembly should not be held in the hall which contains the sacred picture of the Chinese Emperor. It appears this THE ANGLO-AMERICAN STORE'S portrait, which was introduced into the Potala nearly a hundred years ago, regarded with extreme awe and reverence. On account of its presence the Dalsi Lama is supposed never to leave the the consent of the without Palace Amban, and his desertion of the picture at this crisis is regarded by the Amban and the Chinese as a flagrant breach of national obligations. The audience chamber selected was the Throno Room of the Dalai Lama, with brilliantly tapestried walls and pillars ornamented with richly coloured frescoes. Besides the signatories, there were prosent the Amban and his suite, the Tongs Penlop of Bhutan and the Nepalese Ro sident and their suites, and a large gathering of British officers. Behind the circle stood a group of Sikhs, Pathan and Gurkhas. The ceremony, began with the reading of the terms in Tibeton. Then the treaty was placed on a table in the centre of the hall, with the delegates sitting round. The lamas wore russet robes, and the Shapés

Some time ago the Japanese papers commenced discussing the question of peace, and coutinental papers have for several months been busy publishing statements that mediation would be sought by one power or the other, and then denying them. The very recent meetings of the German Chancellor, Count Bulow, with the Italian Premier, M. Giolitti, were even said to have a strong bearing on the question, some papers declaring that the statesmen were actually preparing for mediation in the East. These statements however, brought forth an official contradiction, and evidently inspired the Paris Figaro to publish a strong leading article demanding that the war be continued not only for the sake of Russia, but also dition.

Pearse said that although the introduction of water conveniences in England had been followed by a reduction in the death rate from typhoid fever, he did not think that the time had arrived for the general intro- duction of the system in Hongkong. It was an accepted fact that wherever there was a leaky water pipe there was great danger of an outbreak of disease. In the East the pipes would have to be put down by Chi- ese workmen, and it was extremely likely that they would soon be in a leaky con-

argument the further hearing was adjourn ed, and this morning Mr Grist announced that he found the Statute upon which he was arguing had no power in the Colony. The Act was passed in 1845, and although it was clearly understood that it applied here, it did not appear to have been extended to Hongkong. There was, howe er, another defence the question of jurisdiction. In Soction 12, sub-section 4, of Ordinanco 4 of 1873 (new series) (the Ordinance con- ferring Jurisdiction on the Summary Court), it was provided that the Court had power to exercise summary jurisdiction in all actions for specific performance of a lease, etc., where the value of the property did not exceed $1000. The value of the pro- perty referred to was worth more than $1000. He, therefore, submitted that the Court had no jurisdiction.

THE HORRORS OF WAR
Terrible Experience of a
Japanese Private. An account of the storming of a fort, presumably at Port Arthur, on August 24, is given by first class private Kumezo Tsutsui, who was wounded in that engage- ment. The Shanghai Daily Press' tran- slates the details from the Nippon as follows :---
On the morning of the 24th at five, we charged the enemy's fort. No battle is so

the kilts and all the ctceteran of the pic- turesque Northern costume. One well. known Highlander, unable to restrain his enthusiasm, said to the King, 'You are DOW & verra pretty man. The first Napoleon used to say the Highlanders nover know when they were beaton.' Possibly it WAS because they nover were beaten. Anyhow this motto has enough that is sturdy and valorous in it to make it worth thinking about.
Proceeding, the lecturer pointed out that the young mon of Campbelltown began with GRACE. They dealt with the foundation first. Hugh Miller used to say, that a brass farthing cannot be converted into a golden guinea by a process of rubbing. The noblest and most boneficent characters have sought a foundation firmer than they could compact out of their own resources.
