The Yagaries of VesuyIus.

The truth seems to be, says the Lon
don Standard, that Vesuvius, like most
of the order Of mountains to which 1t
belongs, is in no way to be depended
upon. 1t is an example of the uselessness
of the current classification of volcanoes
into extinct, quiescent, and active. There
was a time when it would have been con-
fidently pronounced to be as extinct as
those of Auvergne, and when its long
silence might have at least justified the
appelletion Of quiescent. Yet we know
that. if not continuously active-and in
reality no volcano is SOFT bursts into a
fury of ashes and lava and pumice-stone
SO frequently that it is hard to say when
it will stop and when begin afresh. A
record of the eruptions since 70 IS a
varied catalogue of disasters. After the
giant paroxysm of that year it remained
for 1900 years in a condition of such
feeble activity that, though many eyes
were naturally directed to it, it was re-
garded as having almost exhausted itself.
Again the crater got overgrown with
vegetation, villages rose on its slopes
and vineyards on its rich volcanic soil,
hunters tracked the wild boar to the
thickets which spread rank over the
spots oncs black with hard caked ashes,
and herdsmen grazed their cattle on the
wide grassy plains which stretched close
to stthe pit of Tartarus." But at length,
after six months of earthquakes. always
increasing in intensity, the closed crater
again burst open and discharged stones
and dust with such vehemence that
some of the latter, shot into the upper
currents of the atmosphere, fell on the
housetops of Tripoli and Constantinople.
Far and near the pasty streams, akin to
those which overwhelmed Pompeii, ran
across the plains, until the villagers at
the base Of the Apennines saw these ser
pent-like messengers at their doors, and
for the first time in ITS modern history
lava flowed west and south, and reached
the sea in many divided rivulets. So
swiftly did all this happen that, though
the inhabitants had been fully warned,
the loss Of life was estimated at from
5000 to 5000. Bosco, Tore del Greco,
Resina and Portici were flooded by the
seven rivers of lava, though, as a rule,
the ashes settling, owing to the falling
rain, into the concrete known as stpuzi
zolona' are the most characteristic of
the products of eruptions. Since 1851
there have been between sixty and sew
enty outbursts, 1855, 1857, 1779, 1894
and 1922 being the years of the most
activity, though none of them equals the
two most memorable in the volcanoes
history. The lower slopes arc again
covered with the vineyards of Lacrima
Christi, that "wine of ashes celebrated
by Chiabrara as sal VIM" to which stla
genie diede nome dolente' and the light
some Neapolitans drink, dance and are
merry as their ancestors were before the
cities of Campania persisted. There is
for the moment no reason for believing
that their mirth is unwarranted, but we
repeat that Vesuvius is one of those
mountains on which it is dangerous to
calculate.
