...Jaggar sailed on May 13, 1902, on the U. S. S. "Dixie" for St. Pierre, Martinique. After examining Mt. Pelee for two days, he went to St. Vincent, where for three weeks he studied the devastation caused by the volcano Soufriere. He then returned to Mantinque, where he stayed for two weeks and a half, witnessing three eruptions including a great one of Mt. Pelee on July 9. Dr. Jaggar brought back with him a good collection of photographs of the destruction which...
...also the usual sprinkling of illustrated definitions and nonsense rhymes. We are used to expect, however, a better centre page than appears in this issue. The drawing is so roughly and carelessly done that any humor which may have been originally in the idea is lost. "Hypnotizing a Volcano," is particularly amusing to those who have taken Geology...
...land, which was first supposed to from a great Arctic continent, but is now known to be an island. It is by passing from the northernmost point of this island through the open sea that Lieutenant Peary thinks the North Pole will be reached. The old supposition that a volcano or deep hole would be found at the Pole is now discarded, and explorers expect to find there either land or an open ocean. The pole is now only 260 miles from the farthest northern point reached, and Lieutenant Peary stated it as a certainty that it will soon...
...finally overcome. Professor Bailey has photographed a large number of excellent stellar charts of which some very fine specimens have been received in Cambridge. The main station at Arequipa controls many meteorological posts in the neighboring country. The most important of these is situated on the summit of the volcano El Misti, 19200 feet above the level of the sea. At this high post there has recently been set up an automatic meteorograph which runs without care for months at a time. This records the direction and velocity of the wind, and registers continuously the barometric pressure, the temperature...
...Professor Bailey reached the summit of Misti, an old volcano, 19,200 feet above the level of the sea. Here, with a great deal of trouble, an instrument shelter was built. It was the original plan to visit this station once in every ten days to wind the instruments there, which would run for that length of time. It was found impossible to visit Misti summit always at the interval of ten days, and now a meteorgraph has been made for the station which will run for three months...
