Naples mention that the eruption Of Mount Vesuyius
is continually increasing in power and spendor. I'M
mcnse sheets Of white yellow, and crimson flames
arise hundreds of feet above the crater and a night
the Bay of Naples is lighted mp for miles. Lava is
pouring down the mountain side in immense quanii-
ties and large stones are occasionally thrown ont
from the mouth Of the volcano. A deep rumble like
reyerberating thunder is heard from time to time as
in tho bowels of the earth. and many of the people
in the vicinity have left their homes, fearing an
earthquake. or other calamity. No such eruption
has probably occurred in Yesuyius for centuries and
the spectacle is regarded of the most magnih-
cent and sublime ever witnessed in nature.
