LONDON, Aug. 2.-The town of
CasamicciOla on the Island of Ischia,
was almost entirely destroyed by an
earthquake on Saturday night. The
neighbOring towns of Foria and Lac
ceameno were greately damaged. The
shocks began at 8 30 o'clock At that
hour a majority of the people of the
upper classes were at the theater.
Nearly all the houses in the town col
lapsed Some of the inhabitants OF
the town escaped to sea at the first
shock, and made their way to Naples
with the news of the calamity. The
center Of the area Of the shock was
the same as that two years ago, but
the radius was wider. The shock was
felt at sea, and according to some Oc-
counts, even at Naples.
SOME PARTICULARS
ROME. The earthquake destroyed
the productive part of the island of
Ischia, in the Mediterranean sea, seven
miles distant from the Puzzuoli shore
and twentythree miles from Naples
Vineyards, farms, mines, baths and
summer residences by the hundred
was destroyed About 5000 lives
were lost The loss of life is based on
the estimate of the Government Offic-
ials, who consider their figures lower
than the actual facts will probably war
rant. The whole island is in a condition
Ofintense terror, suffering and helpless
ness, although all the steam vessels
within reach have been the entire day
endeavOring to aid the people, and
have removed many thousands of the
injured to the mainland, the Govern
ment having acted promptly and
called into action every department.
THE POPULATION.
The thousands of injured cannot be
estimated, beyond such an estimate as
can be made by the comparison of the
number of deaths, with the total pop
ulatiOn Of the island, which while
greatest IN the summer season, Is less
than 80, 600. Many who have seen the
destruction at CasamicciOla and other
points, believe the dead and injured
will number more than twO-thirds of
the population. No one places the
disaster below 1900. Details of the
disaster cannot be got in any intel
hgible shape, and It's beginning and
movement will not be understood
until the completion of the
report of the Government officers,
who are collecting information from
every part of the island. The destruc-
ton was most complete at Casamic-
cola, the famous pleasure resort, with
its hot springs and baths, the Sarato-
ga of Italy, situated at the foot OF
Mount San Nicolo, a volcanic noun
tain $500 feet in height, which has fol
several centuries been regarded as
quite extinct.

BUILDING STOVES.

DR.. Cutting, State Geologist Of Yer
mont, has made unique series q test
Of building stones, with reference b
their fre-resisting qualities. He de
clares that no known natural stone do
serves the name fireproof. Conglomer
ates and states have "no capability" O
withstanding heat; granite Is injure,
beyond cheap or easy repair by even 81
mild heat rs that which melts lead
sandstones, including tho variety calico
brown stone, are better, and limestone
and marbles are perhaps the best in thi
respect But even they are injured b,
continuous heat of 900 degrees, and a
1900 are changed into quicl;lime
Therefore, it would seem that no ston,
buildings are fireproof, and some o
them, DR.. Cutting even says, are a.
much damaged by fire as wooden struct
urcs are. Brick, on the contrary, i
usually uniniured, and is often rathe
improved by heat until it is melted
But as most brick buildings are trimmed
with iron or stone, tho damage is Otter
considerable. even when tho walls stand
To avoid this, DR.. Cutting recommend
soapstone trimmings, which are ope,
only to the objection OF expense. Blu
although brick stands heat 10 well, il il
Objectionable, because its power to re
sist pressure from dampness or fros
without crumbling is les than that o
stone. Nevertheless, ns brick is, il
fact, only kind OF artificial stone. thu
search for an ideal building material il
not hopeless, but it must be prosecuted
rather by the maker than by the quar-
rier Of stone.

Many years ago there was man in

managed to get considerably in debt,
and the visits OF his creditors In the

One morning neighbor knocked at the
