BUSY VESUViUS.
Blowers Of Lava Are Increasing the Noun
tain's Height

Blowers Of Lava Are Increasing the Noun
tain's Height.
Year after year and century after
century Vesuvius puffs away. The
first recorded eruption of Vesuvius
was in 70 "A. D., when Pompeii and
Herculaneum were overwhelmed.
Between the first and sixth centuries
nine eruptions are recorded, and
since that epoch there have been 4S
great ones.
The last destructive eruption was
ON April 26, 1872, when about SO
sightseers were killed and more than
40, 600 people fed from Naples. Of
the present condition of the oninous
monster the Paris Herald says: We.
suvius is $50 feet higher than it was
nine months ago. The constant
showers Of porous lava have filled in
n 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 a
rounded top, but now it comes to a
wedge point.
A year ago visitors looked into tine
hollow of the old and somewhat
cooled off crater. OF late they have
gone inside the boundaries of the
old crater to get a good look at the
new cone, from the summit of
which, Intervals of a few minutes,
there is a gust of steam, laden with
red hot ashes, which are sent into
the air 200 feet or more. Before the
steam has drifted away there is an
other rumble, a sound of watery ex
plosion, and another shower of ashes.
Thus from a distance in the day
time there seems to he a constant
curl of white vapor from the sum-
init, but at night each separate
eruption throws up a vivid light,
which then fades away in a dull
glow.
The natives who live on the slope
of the mountain say that after the
new com has been built somewhat
higher it will fall in of it's own
weight and close the present breath
ing hole. Then the mountain will
be like a corked up bottle, A now
vent will have to be made, and in
the making of this vent there will
be a fierce eruption, an overflow of
lava and the formation of q new
crater.
There was, indeed, a general he
lief that the renewed and growing
activity of the volcano would lead
to some sort of eruption, but it was
hoped that it would be nothing more
serious than q flow of lava down
over the old and hardened beds. The
last outbreak and the flow toward
Resina, in the direction of the buried
city of Herculaneum, was, there
fore, not unexpected.
The large cone is simply heap of
cinders dignified by size. The ride
to the foot of the cone consumes five
hours, but it requires only ten min
ntes to reach the top of the funicular
railway. Then there is a walk of ten
minutes up the jagged edges of the
huge crater to the bowl, and in this
is the little one thrown up by the
recent eruptions. Chicago Inter

The Fool Who Knew Latin.

1t was a medieval saying that a
fool is never a complete fool unless
he knows Latin. This may also be
said of the pedant, the man who is
educated beyond his capacity, and
hence the knowledge that he cannot
assimilate is an incumbrance, in at
tempting to use which he only
makes himself ridiculous. = Notes
and Queries.

THE KING AND THE cose, FPS
How Charles v. Learned Their Honest
Opinions of Himself.

How Charles ". Learned Their Honest
Opinions of Himself.
Charles V, in his intervals of re-
Taxation, used to retire to Brussels.
He was a prince curious to know the
sentiments of his meanest subjects
concerning himself and his admins
tration; therefore he often went Gin
cog and mixed himself in such
companies and conversation as he
thought proper. One night, his boot
requiring immediate mending, he
was directed to a oobbler. Unluck-
lily it happened to be st. Crispin's
holiday, and, instead of finding the
cobbler inclined for work, he was in
the height of his jollitv among his
acquaintance. The emperor &C.
quainted him with what he wanted
and offered a handsome gratuity.
What, friend, says the fellow, do
you know no better than to ask II
Of II craft to work on St. Crispin's
day? Was it Charles V himself I'd
not do a stitch for him now. But if
you'll come in and drink to st. Girls
pin, do and welcome. We are as
merry as the emperor can be-"
The sovereign accepted his offer,
but while he was contemplating
their rude pleasure, instead of join
ing in it, the jovial host thus ~accosted
him: But I suppose you are some
courtier, politician or other, by that
contemplative phiz. But be who or
what you will. you're heartily wei.
come. Drink about. Here's Charles
VS. health"
"Then you love Charles w" re-
piled the emperor.
Love him. says the son of Girls.
pin. AYE, aye, l love his long nose
ship we'll enough, but l should love
him much more would he but tax MS
a little less. But what the devil have
we to do with politics? Round with
the glass, and merry be our hearts!'
After a short stay the emperor
took his leave and thanked the cob
bier for his hospitable reception.
THAT, cried he, you're welcome
to, but / would not have dishonored
st. Crispin to have worked for the
emperor"
Charles, pleased with the honest
good nature and humor of the fell
low, sent for him next morning to
court. One may imagine his surprise
to e and hear that his late guest
was his sovereign. He feared lis
joke on his long nose would be pun
ished with death. The emperor,
however, thanked him for his hos.
pitality and as a reward for it bid
him ask for what he most desired
and take the whole night to settle
his surprise and ambition.
Next day he appeared and request
ed that for the future the cobblers
of Flanders might bear for their
arms a boot with the emperor's
crown upon it. That request was
granted, and, SO moderate was his
ambition, the emperor bid him make
another. If" says he, Il am to
have my utmost wishes, command
that for the future the Company of
Cobblers shall take the place of the
Company of Shoemakers." 1t was
accordingly SO ordained, and to this
day there is to be seen a chapel in
Flanders adorned round with a boot
and an imperial crown on it, and in
all professions the Company of Cob
blers takes the place of the Company
of Shoemakers. - Pittsburg Dis.

Vivid Picture of the Amphitheater After
q Scene of Bloody Amusement.
And one stands there alone in the
stiffness and remembers how, on
that night when all was over, wher
the corpses had all been dragged
away and the arena had been fresh
ly strewn with sand, it may have
been almost as it is now. Only per-
haps far off among the arches and
on the tiers of seats there might be
still q tiny light moving here and
there. The keepers of the terrible
place would 60 their rounds with
their little earthen lamps. They
would search everywhere in tine
spectators places for small things
that might have been lost in the press
"a shoulder buckle of gold or silver
or bronze, an armlet, a woman's ear
ring, n purse, perhaps, with some-
thing in it. And the fitful night
breeze would now and then make
them shade their lights with their
dark hands. BY the door of the
dead a torch was burning down In
its socket, its glare falling upon a
heap of armor, mostly somewhat
battered and all of it blood stained.
A score of black browed smiths were
picking 1t over and distributing it
in heaps, according to its condition.

below the arena came the distant
sound of q changing gate, Or Of some

to the twentieth century, said: "Only
four summers more; four autumns
more; four winters more four springs
more, and then the clock of time will

The Atlanta Constitution remarks;
Out in Indiana an old lady OF seventy
four offered $40, 900 for a young hus-
band. An enterprising fellow of TWEEN
ty-six came forward, but the woman's
family sued out a writ of lunacy to
prevent her from marrying. The jury
pronounced her sane, and she eloped
with her purchase and married him.
The Chicago Record in commenting on
this case makes the point that short
time ago young woman in New York
wanted husband with title, and got
him after a big cash sum of several
million dollars had been settled upon
him by her relatives. Nobody limited
that the New York girl was insane.
On the contrary society thought that
she had distinguished herself. Our
Chicago contemporary thinks that it
makes a difference when the pur-
chased husband is an imported article
with title. If he is homo product
the woman who offers a good price for
him is supposed to be crazy,
