THE GROWTH OF vEsUv1us.

From the Chicago Record
= Recent dispatches telling Of the streams
of lava at Vesuvius will cause no surprise
to any one who has visited the volcano
within the last three months. 1t has been
steadily putting and spouting during that
time. hcaving out showers of molten lava
and glowing by night until the clouds of
vapor above 1t took on the appearance of
rolling flames. Two days before the recent
outpour from break in the cone the shell
of the cid crater trembled from the work
ing of the lava underneath, and the pc
culiar sounds of kissing and growing whic
accompanied each small eruption could be
heard two miles away.
Vesuvius is $50 feet higher than 1t was
six months ago. The constant showers of
porous lava have filled in one side of the
old hollow crater and have built up the new
cone, which, from its bold outlines. has
greatly changed the appearance of the
summit, and is still changing it slightly
every day. Formerly the volcano, as seen
from Naples, had rounded top, but now
it comes to a wedge point. A year ago Wis
itors looked into the hollow of the old and
somewhat cooled-off crater. OF late they
have gone inside the boundaries of the old
crater to get good look at the new cone,
from the summit of which at intervals of
laden with red-hot ashes, which are sent
into the air 200 feet or more Before the
steam has drifted away there is another
rumble, a sound Of watery explosion, and
another shower of ashes. Thus. from dis
lance in the daytime, there seems to be a
constant curl of white vapor from the sum-
init, but at night each separate eruption
throws up vivid light, which then fades
away to a dull glow.
The natives who live on the slope of the
mountain said that after the new cone had
been built somewhat higher it would fall
in of its own weight, and close the present
breathing hole. Then the mountain would
be like corked-up bottle. new vent
would have to be made and in the making
ton, an overflow of lava, and the forma-
ton of a new crater. Apparently the ma
tives should be informed. as some Of them
had ancestors at Pompeii, and many re-
member distinctly the incidents of the fierce
eruption of 1872 by which the present
crater was formed

From this time on the development of
the state Tito its present form was rapid;
in fact. the internal lines have changed lit
tie. The congressional, judicial and legis-
lative districts have charged considerably
from time to time, and all the develop
ments are marked by the maps At one
time there as curious legislative mistake
by which a tier of townships, now belonging
to Guthrie county, was left out in the cold,
and formed sort of No Mans Land for a
while. In the reorganization of the boun-
daries of the counties these four townships
were accidentally cut off from one county,
hut not annexed to another. and duTj-g the
biennial period from one Legislature to
another they had no allegiance to any
county. The people could not hold any
elections for county officers, and, in fact.
had few pleasures left in life. The next
legislature annexed them to Guthrie and
they have never rebelled against it's rule.

COLLECTION OF TAPESTRIES.
The Treasures Found in the Res

The Treasures Found In the Resi-
dence Here of Mr.. FfOulke.
From the Upholsterer.
It is a common thing to hear manufac-
turers and jobbers claim that a tapestry or
brocade which they show is duplicate of
such-and-such an original in such-and-such
European collection or art museum. and
the intimation is generally prevalent that
the art fabrics of the world are to be found
only in the museums of great European
capitals or in the hands Of the connoisseur.
It is well enough, we think, to call the at
tention of the American trace 70 one COZ D.
lector in this country who would be glau TO
show his wonderful textile exhibition 70
any one who Is interested. Charles M.
Ffoulke of Washington Is pennsylvania
by birth, and until twenty-eiGht years ago
was a prominent, prosperous wool mer-
chant He retired from active business,
went abroad and devoted himself 10 art.
EspecialIy attracted to art textiles, ne be-
"a me more and more absorbed in tapestries,
until he gave them his exclusive Afternoon,
and gradually became an expert.
The literature of a language does not
make a fluent tongue. the ability u recog.
nize the various schools of paintings and
ateliers for the production of tapestries be
ing obtained through object lessons-his-
tories of these schools and ateliers de-,
scribe their characteristics, hence trained
mind greatly aids the eye to distinguish
one from the other. There are experts,
however who know little of the literature
of tapestries, yet whose practical expert
ence renders their judgment unquestioned.
An expert, whether read or unread, can
tell not only the nationality of tapestry.
but the atelier and date, dividing the CEN
turtles into three parts, early, middle ana
end. The differences between the produc-
lions of Paris, Beauvais. Aubusson, Flan-
ders, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc, are so
distinct as to make 1T impossible for con-
noisseur not to recognize them.
After years of study and travel in Europe
Mr. Floulke expended n fortune in the pur-
chase of such masterpieces of tapestry as
can only be found in few museums, and
in certain famous private galleries of Italy,
notably the Barberini palace Of Rome
Many of its noblest pieces, presented by
Louis XIV to the Barberini family, are
now in Mr.. Ffoulke's possession. Some of
them hang on the walls of Mr.. Ffoulke's
fine studio in Washington, and are con-
slant delight to his friends. One of the
last acts of the lamented architect, Rich
ard NJ. Hunt, was to visit this gallery with
George Vanderbilt when passing through
Washington ell route to Biltmore, Mr.. Van
derbilt's mountain palace in North Caro-
lima. Mr.. Hunts pleasure was only equaled
by his surprise at beholding such genuine
antiques in the United States.
So large is Mr. Ffoulke's collection that
it enables him to change his beautiful
mural decorations with the change of
years and seasons. Nor are his treasures
confined to one country. Many still remain
In Italy, where they find home in an old
convent at Florence, leased for the pur-
pose.

day, constituting the first case Of the kind
on record in the county. Perhaps a good
many Of us don't know it. but that kind of q
will is one written wholly in the hand of the
person drawing the instrument. Every word
and figure of such document must be in the
handwriting Of the testator in order to Sc
cure to it the cover of legality. 1t is related
that once a will of this character was re-
jected by judge of probate because the
date and name of the town were printed, as
is common on official paper, instead of being
in the writing which characterized all other
parts of the instrument. The will now in
the Penobscot probate office was made in
North Carolina. but the testator dying In

road, travellers are astonished at the medi-
aeval air of everything. Lofty, somber
houses of a forgotten architecture, frown-

dresses of the exact fashion of 1896, the
absence of commerce and the quaint Gus
toms and manners of another age, produce
an effect almost indescribable in its charm.

walls on the left being something like a

pines could be discerned, but in the awful
depth they appeared like stunted shrubs

A Wicked Blow.
Just as the party appeared on the top all
at once out from the stubble came retreat
ing the big Swede, followed by an enor-
nous silver tip who was driving him slow
ly backward toward the edge of the preci-
pice. The man was bleeding badly, nearly
all of one side of his face beng torn away,
the result of a wicked blow from the huge
paw of the vicious monster. The bear, on
the other hand, was quite badly wound
ed as his antagonist. His head was mass
of gore. the lower jaw was simply hanging
by few shreds, and one of his hind legs
was broken. Inc SWede was hacking Slow
ly, holding in his right hand large hunt

the bear caught him fairly with a return
