The Destruction of St. Pierre.
The destruction of the town of
St. Pierre, Martinique, wtih all
its inhabitants by a volcanic
eruption is one of the greatest
disasters of modern times. Very
seldom before in the world's
history have so many people
perished by one such catastrophe.
St. Pierre was not only the
largest and commericially most
important town of the island of
Martinique but also of the French
West Indies. Its population numbered
25,000 and only two or
three score are said to have es
caped though later reports will
probably tell of a large number
who left doomed city in time.
St. Pierre was situated on the
northwest coast of the island in
a region abounding in mountains
of volcanic history. The largest
of these, Mount Pelee, is 4,400
feet high and had long been inactive
for a rather violent eruption
in 1851. St. Pierre lay almost
at the foot of this mountain
facing the bay. The town was
divided into two sections; the
lower being closely built up with
narrow streets and considered
n 1 f U ? ? ? i__
uuuomiiuj , nit; upper oeing
cleaner, more salubrious and
pleasant. St. 1'ierre was a prosperous
town and contained many
fine residences and buildings.
The island of Martinique is
rugged and its appearence is
suggestive of its volcanic origin.
Its extreme length is about 45
miles from northwest to southeast,
and the main part of it is in
the shape of an oval with rough
edges, its greatest width being
15 miles. At the lower end of
this main part, the old Fort Royal
bay?since the French revolution
called Fort de France hay?cuts
in so deep as to come within six
miles of meeting the inlets of bo
Robert and be Francais on the
other side. The whole area of
the island, near 100 square miles
is motntains. besides Mount
Felee,there are further south and
about midway of the oval the
throe crests of Courbet and all
along tho great ridge are the
black and rugged cones of old
volcanoes.

the destruction of I ho St I'iorrio

by a steamer passing that

had been evident enough. Saturday
a week ago. May 3, a dispatch
from St.Thomas told that
Mount Pelee was in action; that
St. Pierre was covered with ashes
and appeared to he enveloped in
a fog. Three days later a second
dispatch reported the destruction
by lava of the Guerine factories
about two miles from St. Pierre,
and it was then stated that the
people were in a panic and 150
had already dissappeared. The

oil and volcanic activity and
earthquakes in others of the
Indies. With these premonitions
of dangej it would seem that the
people of St. Pierre would have
saved themselves by flight. Hut
that they failed to do so is only
the repetition of history.
The most celebrated volcanic
eruption in all history is that of
Vesuvius in the year 70. Celebrated
not only because three
towns, lleculaneum, Pompeii
and Stabae with their inhabitants
were destroyed but also for the
reason that the burial of Pompeii
in lava has preseived to us a picture
of Roman life in that era.
The younger Pliny's description
is a classic. lie tells us that for
days before the great eruption
there were warning earthquakes
and outbursts of lava but as |
there had been more or less vie
lent eruptions for Id years, alter!
centuries of quiescence, the peo

more and after six months,during
which the people of the vicinity
lingered to tempt late another
violent eruption occured. It is
said that 18,000 perished.
The destruction olSt.Pierre exceeds
even the two historic eruptions
of Vesuvius in the damage
to property. Unless the reports
now at hand are exaggerated it
is one of the greatest catastrophes
of its kind in all history. An
important town destroyed, perhaps
a great part of an island
devastated, and 25,000 people
killed?this is a tragedy which
has few equals in the chronicles
of man.

Sol Smith Kussell used to tell
of three little nieces of whom he
was very loud. They lived in
Kansas City and one afternoon
he took the youngest tot for a
walk. He also bought her some
candy, saying she might have it
when she reached home. The
child urged, ''Let's wun, Uncle
Sol," but he pleaded that he was
tired. Then the little one plumped
down on her knees on the
sidewalk and prayed : 4iO, Dod,
p'ease make Uncle Sol wuu."
The actor thought: "Well, it's a
question of my losing my dignity
or of her losing faith in God."
And so the pair ran as fast as
they could. "But we walked together
no more," he used to add.
