found the same. tits pretty well settled
that the open sea exists, and also that it
Is entered sooner as you 90 to the east
ward from Spitzbergen. This would also
seem to settle the cause Of its existence,
to wit: The warm waters of the Gulf
Stream and the Kuro7Siwo. Now, then,
If these waters arrive 81 the Pole with q
temperature above the freezing point,
they surely possess a still higher temper
allure before arriving there; hence there
must be tstwot hermal pathst to the Pole"
and which we believe Captain Bent has
correctly mapped out.

YEsUYIUs.

It IS a remarkable fact that, previous
to the year 80, the famous Vesuyius-
now in active e~ruptiOn-was scarcely
suspected of being a volcano. No record
Of It's performance in that character had
been transmitted to the Romans, nor did
even a tradition Of its destructive forces
exist among the ancient Italian tribes.
BefOse the date mentioned the sides of
the mountain were covered nearly tOthe
summit with a luxuriant growth of
vines; the fair cities Of POmpeii and
Herculaneum nestled peacefully at its
feet; and the extinct crater, partly filled
with water, had furnished a refuge for
Spartacus and his rebl gladiators. A
severe earthquake In 50 had indeed
alarmed the people and caused consider
able damage; but none seemed to sus-
pect that the verdant peak which
adorned and crowned the matches
landscape was in any manner connected
with the subterranean cOnyulsiOn. On
the tWenty-fouTth of August, IS, without
a warning Of the impending danger,
Vesuvius threw OF her smiling mask
and leaped forth a volcano Of terrible
and magnificent proportions. No lava
was elected on this occasion, nor did
that curious substance appear at any
eruption until 1895; but Pompeii was
buried under loose ashes and Herculane-
UNI was envelOped in a shroud Of semi
liquid mud-bOth places being s. utterly
destroyed that their sites were unknown
until comparatively recent times. Since
this memorable Inauguration, Vesuvius
has always been more or less
excited, and the number Of great and
small eruptions IN which 1t has indulged
is set down at sixty. In 472 the ashes
thrown up fell as far distant as COnstan-
tinOple, and created much anxiety in
the Turkish capital; In 1888, the portion
of the mountain now known as Monte
NuOvO was born-rising IN two days to
the hight of four hundred and thirteen
feet, and having a base Of eight thou
sand feet. In 1924, the small villages
lying at the base were drenehed with
lava and boiling water; and in l7T9 the
outbreak continued nearly all the spring
and summer. Ashes, lava and red-hot
stones were hurled forth in abundance,
and q small bit OF rock seventeen feet
high and one hundred and eight in cir
conference was thrown from the bowels
of the earth as q sample Of volcanic en-
ergy. In 1794,sthe larger part Of the
town of Tore del Greco was completely
demolished; and in 1922, the summit Of
Vesuvius-previOusly a rugged plain,
covered with lava and scoria-was
transformed into n tremendous gulf
three miles in circumference, three
quarters Of q mile In diameter, and near
" two thousand feet deep. The volcano
at that time lost eight hundred feet In
hight, but the most of this has been re-
stored BY the deposits of subsequent
eruptions. The entire circumference at
the base Is now estimated at thirty
and the hight four thousand feet.

Its birds, It's dews, its rainbovs, Its glad

Its wales, its mountains, Its green, waving
