The eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, which
has been in progress for several days,
has assumed terrible violence and in
telligence is now communicated by the
cable that two hundred persons, inhabi-
ting the villages at its base, have been
buried by the lava. Thousands of others
have fed in dismay to situations of safe
ty, and the distress and excitement are
intense. The event recalls but few par
allels in the history of Vesuvius. The
first recorded eruption OF the famous
volcano occurred in the year 10, when
Pompeii and Herculaneum were destroy
cd Then followed long period of ap-
parent rest. In l066 floods of lava were
again belched forth, and since that time
about sixty eruptions have occurred.
The most conspicuous of these were in
1873, in 1894, when the town of Tore del
Greco was destroyed; in 1922, in 1855,
destroying the village of Cercolo, and in
1858, SO and '6l, when the eruptions
were especially marked for their terrible
grandeur. af
