fire escapes on the college buildings.
They wouldn't facilitate matters much,
perhaps, in the way of getting COWS up

MT. ETNA AT WORK.
4 New Crater Opened and Villages Threat

The eruption of Mount Etna is increas-
ing in violence. A new crater has
opened. The lava from the volcano
threatens to overwheIm Nicolosi and
The other villages. people living in the
threatened places are fleeing from their
homes. Troops are assisting them.
There are eleven assures in the mountain.
The central opening is active, but there
is no discharge Of lava from it.
About sixty eruptions of Mount Etna
are recorded, the most notable within
the last hundred years being those of
1892, 1911, 1919 and 1882. The first of
these continued an entire year, the
streams of lava then being thirty feet
deep. During the last one mentioned
there opened on the sides of the noun
tain many flaming mouths in the midst
of tremendous explosions and convu-
sions, prodigious discharges OF ashes,
cinders and lava, which Overran miles OF
cultivated fields and threatened the town
of Bron with ruin. The river of lava
was then twenty miles long, over mile
wide and forty feet deep.
The lava which in 1869 overtopped the
walls OF Catania may still be seen coiling
over their summit like a frozen torrent.
On that occasion much of the city and
$4,000 of its inhabitants were destroyed.
The earliest eruption mentioned in his
tc-' To7a years before the Christian
efa. Jtlr yeaTs-later a vast volume of
water is reported to have rushed down
the mountain side. 1t was supposed to
have come from the crater, showing ap-

RI One stream was two miles broad, in
some places 40 feet deep, flowed 600
feet IN an hour ordinarily, but when 1t
approached abrupt cliffs it dashed over
like a fiery cascade. The summit OF
Etna. being above the line Of vegetation,
presents, unless covered with snow,

and scorip, from the centre OF winch, IN
a desoIate plane, asccnds the principal
cone. Around the base Of the mountain
is a productive region of corn, olives,
grapes and fruits, from three to eleven
miles broad The eruptions Of Etna are

A Chinese Fishing Village in California.

It was close to the edge of the water.
where little inlet rounded in, below
high hills. AS we drewnear it, the odo1
of fish came up over the hills, like q
smell from something cooking in a vast
caldron. The fences the rocks, the
ground-aIl were covered with shining
little fishes, spread out to dry; those ON
the ground being laid on frames of
wooden Stats. There was only one mar
row lane running through the village,
and hardly room on that to step between
the frames of drying fish. On the roofs
of the novels, even, poles were set up,
and stretched from corner to corner );
and on them long lines of fish futtered
in the air, like clothes hung out to dry.
Cinnamon were running about, empty
ing big baskets of fish other Cinnamon
were spreading them,s turning them,
raking them apart, gathering up the dry
ones, and packing them into baskets.
The place fairly swarmed with laborers
and their implements; but all the work
ers kept steadily on, as regardless of our
presence as though they had been ants
on an ant-hill. Every man, woman and
child was hard st work; children that
were too small for anything else had
babies strapped on their backs, and
were carrying them about Little girls,

Here the women sat on high stools, III
squatting posture, with their feet
curled up under them, cutting and slash

them into the baskets with as swift mo-

had the fingers of the left hand rolledup

They chatted and laughed, as If they

village. Old men were mending nets,
old women putting bait on hooks. The
only unemployed creature We saw was
one small baby.
It would not be possible to give any
idea Of the way in which the houses,
sheds, boats, barrels, poles, nets, baskets,
scaffoldings, and lumber Of all sorts were
huddIed together on one narrow alley,
not wide enough for two wagons to drive
abreast. There was lot foot of open
ground. Looking down from the hill ON
the roofs of the houses, one would think
they all belonged to a single set of walls,
rooted at different heights and angles. 1t
was a squalid and filthy spot; it would
seem impossible for human beings to
breath such air, and sleep in such dark,
unventilated novels for any length of
time, without being made i'll. Yet there
are in this little village nearly two hun
dred people, many of whom have lived
there for thirty years in good health.
They are divided into three companies,
each company having its leader, who
pays wages to the men and women, and

Women and DreSSmakers.
