Recent Eruption Of vesuvius.

The fascination OF an eruption and
the danger of looking at it from al
too-near point of observation are set
forth by the following narrative. It
was written by an Englishman who
saw the recent eruption of Vesuvius.
The new cone, when saw it, was
pouring out vast volumes of smoke
and steam, detonations occurred at
frequent intervals, and loud noises as
if of the lava surging within the era
ter.
AT intervals, also, the smoke was
intensely illuminated, as If the lava
had leaped up within the cone.
The cone discharged a perpetual
shower of red-hot pieces of lava of
more or less cindery character.
1t is difficult to judge of heights
under such circumstances. but many
of the fragments appeared to be pro-
iected to G height equal to that of an
ordinary sky-rocket.
The elected masses nearly all fell
on one side of the cone, and helped
to raise it. Occasionally, however,
sudden burst would come which
scattered the red-hot masses in all
''rections.

The NssSal IBaftHc on Iauinue
A sea fight between four vessels.
In which two, or according 10 some
accounts three, of the combatar,ts
are sunk, deserves 4 place of its own
among naval annals. All the more

Of wooden ships against iron ships.
The Peruvian Independence was
an iren-clad frigate of 2, 900 tons dis
placement, with IL inch places,
carrying twelve 70-pounder fonr-ton
guns, two 150-pounder seven-ton
guns, and one 800 FOUNDER, the three
latter being mounted as pivot guns
on the upper deck. THE Huascar.
which also took part In the coraict,
and came out comparatively unseath-
ed, is q turret-ship Of /, 100 tons dis
placement, built as ram, clad with
4 1-2-inch armor from stem to stern,
with two 300-pounders in the tnrret,
and two 40-pounder deck guns. The
Chilian screw corvette Esmeralla, of
800 tons, was bu:lt for Chill in Eng
land of teak about fifteen years ago,
and originally armed with 32-pound-
ers; but her battery was arranged
last winter to twelve 6S-pounders.
The gunboat Covadonga, of 500 tons,
was captured in action from the
Spanish, near Valparaiso, hy the
Esmeralda, in the war of 1865. She
carried two heavy guns, but of ex-
actly what calibre is not yet clear,
since different accounts during the
past two months have represented
them to be 70-pounders, 150-pound-
ers, and even 250-pounders.
Accepting the theory, as the more
probable, that the Covadonga's guns
we're not heavier than 150-pounders,
at The utmost, we find the remarks
BILE result recorded that two wooden
ships, with guns smaller than those
carried now in fighting vessels of inn
rortsace, were able to sink Thames
built ironclad, having double hull,
water-tight compartments, and 1-2
inches of plating around her machin-
cry. 1t is not surprising that they
themsefves-or, at least, one of them,
for Chilian report claims the es-
cape of the Covadonga-should be
sunk by the 70-pounder, 150-pound-
er, and 300-pounder rified Armstrong
guns OF the Independence, as even
the smaller could easily riddle them
both at q moderate range. But the
Independence was much the costlier
vessel, and the Peruvian victory was
one of that sort that would be ruin
Gus il many times repeated.
But when we look at the build of
the Independence we find that she
presented fatal target to her Chilian
foes. Her gun deck was eight feet
above the water line; and over this
was the spar deck, on which her pivot
guns were mounted--the Total height

high-sided ships, covered with only
4 l-2 inches of iron, and perhaps Inn.
perfectly covered at that, can easily
be sunk by wooden ships that carry
even the smaller calIbres of good
modern rified guns. The lesson is
re-enforced by the fact that the tur-
ret ram Huascar, if hit at all, was
rot hurt. Even wooden war ships
need not be given up as useless, IL
they are fast, quick in man0uvre,
and, above all, supplied with artil-
lery sufficiently powerful.
