On Friday night, January 13, Prof. Angelo Heilprin, F. R. G. S., pres- s ident of the geological society of 1 Philadelp'hia, will appear in the col- e lege auditorium, to fill one of the t numbers of the lyceum course with his illustrated lecture on Mont Pelee I and the Tragedy of Martinique. The Newberry public has been charmed by the excellence of the previous numbers in the course, and c the large gathering which will as suredly be present will no doubt be t equally well impressed with Pro- j fessor Heilprin's lecture. s Professor Heilprin presents the first complete account of the catas trophic events of the island whose misfortunes have so aroused the I sympathies of the world, and added f a chapter -to history as interesting e as that of the fall of Pompeii and t Herculaneum. Prof. Heilprin's early visit to Martinque permitted him to study the scene of the major disaster t very soon after its happening, while C his experiences on the still burning f volcano, whose crater he was the first to visit after the "ragic eighth of May, and during the great erup tion of August 30, of which he was a direct observer, were such 4s to make the narrative describing them one of thrilling interest. The author's qualifications as an investigator give to his lecture its stamp of scientific authority. The illustrations which accompany the lecture, chiefly from photographs taken by the author himself, are unique of their class and are revela tions to any audience. Professor Heilprin has delivered his lecture, "Mont Pelee and the Tragedy of Martinque," five times in Baltimore and nine times in Phila delphia. Advertised Letters.
