killed. Shortly afterward tho volssno
of the island of St. Vincent broke outin

been quiet for centuries. 1t is said that
on the day the eruption took place a
little negro boy was herding cattle on
the mountain. Stones began to fall
around him. He thought some mis-

from the cliffs above his head. But he
soon discovered that it was not bad

hurled the stones. Soon the mountain
began to roar and tremble, and for

Many portions of Europe and Asia
have also suffered from great earth
quakes. The complete ru n of Lisbon
by terrific shock was one of the sad
dest events of the last century. Not
alone the coast of Portugal, but a vast
extent of land and sea, was shaken by
this earthquake. The great rock of
Gibraltar trembled like an aspen leaf,
and steam rose in many places from the
Atlantic Ocean
In Central and Southern Italy many
notable earthquakes have taken place.
One of the most severe of modern times
occurred in March. 1881, when the
pretty town of Casamicciola, on the
island of Ischia, was ruined in a mo-
ment. At one o'clock on a sunny aft
ernoon its iuhabitants-were tranquil and
happy. Five minutes later their homes
were nothing but heaps of stone and
rubbish. 1t is a singular fact that the
tower of the church remained stand ding,
bearing aloft the great clock, the hands
of which had stopped at the instant the
fatal shock occurred. Helen S. COudHt.
