...Geological Museum, and Dr. T. A. Jaggar, who was in Martinique and St. Vincent after the recent eruption, read a paper on "The Preservation of Human Life in Volcanic Lands." He divided his subject into two considerations--how to preserve life when danger is imminent, and how to warn people of probable explosions. In most volcanic outbursts, persons are killed by a steam blast, falling hot material, a sea wave, or a wind high enough to overset masonry. Some theory of protection against these forces may be found by inquiring into the cases of persons who have been saved from...
...warn people of impending explosions is a much more difficult question. Dr. Jaggar read several extracts from St. Pierre papers, showing that the French scientists again and again concluded that Mt. Pelee was no longer dangerous, only to be terribly deceived. The intervals and character of the eruptions of Mt. Pelee give a basis for a calculation that the French disregarded. The first explosion was on May 3, and explosions of increasing violence came on May 8, May 20, June 6, July 9, and August 30--that is, at intervals of five, twelve, seventeen, thirty-three and fifty- two days...
...management wishes to warn everyone against buying tickets for the Yale game from speculators.

Such tickets will not admit a person to the field, and there will be no opportunity to exchange them...

The work of developing a team has sometimes been lost and the team's prospects spoiled by the failure of a few men to keep off probation. The worst example of this was afforded by last year's Freshman baseball team. Out of the nine men who were considered the best for their positions in the class six were put on probation before the games with Yale. The responsibility for the loss of the Yale games...
...wish to warn students against disposing of their Yale-game seats in improper ways. Any ticket found in the hands of a speculator can be readily traced to the student upon whose application it was taken out; and I shall be compelled to publish the name of every student so disposing of his ticket. ELIOT SPALDING, Graduate Manager...
