at East Brady it was reported that the

The loss of life from this eruption was
appalling. Thousands who on that calm

with hearts of gratitude or of hate or of
indifference to Him who has made the
world perished before the day was done.
Engulfed in the ocean or covered with
heaps of ashes, few hours only passed
away and the awful work was accom-
plished, and that vast multitude of hui

PROFESSOR GRANVILLE F. FOSTER.
Crescent City, Cal,
The San Francisco call., 1897-09-26

Every one has heard OF the cele ebrated
eruption of Vesuvius which took place
in the yeaT of our Lord 79, alter an IN
known number of centuries of inactivity,
at W hich time Pompeii, HercuIaneum and
Stabie, cities of considerable size and
importance nesting on the hanks of the
mountain, were buried beneath a terrible
shower of pumice stone and volcanic
dust At the dawn of the Christian era
this region was densely populated. Num-
erous towns and villages, in addition to
the three cities above mentioned, either
occupied the lower slopes of the noun
tain or lay a the very base.
The thousands whose homes were upon
the slopes OF IN the vicinity of the base of
the mountain never dreamed of its char
acter. Strabo, however, the celebrated
Roman geographer, guessed at the truth.
He intimates in his writings that he sus-
poets that there lie hidden within the re-
cesses of the smiling mountain forces
which might yet turn the fertile region
into a desert. But the period thus pre-
dicted came sooner than the scientific
prophet himself expected. 1t came with
but few warnings and these were not IN
derstood, and at its coming sudden de-
struction fell blosung out in few hours
cities and towns and destroying thousands
of human beings.
The younger Pliny, in his letter tothe
historian Tacitus, gives a most graphic
account of the scene, the smoke arising
from the crater to an enormous height
and spreading out in the upper atmos-
phere in the form of a colossal pine tree +;
the vivid display of lightnings and accom-
panying peals of thunder mingllng with
noise of the eruption-the three days of
total darkness-the terrific explosions in

400 miles around, while within a circle
whose radius is 1900 miles the obscurity is
more or less profound. Within this latter
area dust-often miscalied ashes, since
there is properly speaking no burning of
materials within a vocano-fell like snow
from the skies, breaking off limbs OF trees
by it's weight, even so far off as Batavia,
100 miles away. The explosions were so
loud as to be distinctly heard in Hindo-
stan, 1900 miles away, and st Batavia the
sound was like the constant roar of
cannon to those present on the field OF
battle.
The whole island, including the vol
cano-full forty square miles of surface
was blown to atoms, not a square loot re-
naming above the surface of the sea.
Now followed one OF the most awful con-
tests of nature-a battle of death between
Vulcan and Neptune. The sea poured
down into the yawning abyss millions of
tons of water to be instantly converted
into vapor by coming into contact with
millions of tons OF seeth ng hot lava be-
meath. The effect was terrible. Over the
shores thirty miles away waves over 100
feet high rolled with such fury that
everything to bedrock was swept away be-
fore it. Blocks of stone Of fifty tons weight
were carried miles inland. On the Su-
matra side OF the strait large ship was
lifted by the wave and stranded three
miles from the sea. The wave thus
formed, growing less in intensity as it
travelled. crossed the Indian Ocean 5000
miles to the Cape OF Good Hope and
thence into the Atlantic, until finally it
reached the eastern shores of America.
At the beginning of the eruption VOL
cano dust was carried upward TO height
of twenty miles. whence it spread out
into the whole atmosphere and the finest

dust remained q year suspended IN the
upper regions of air before it began Its
descent. The reader may remember the
peculiar red glow at sunrise and sunset in
the latter part of 1888 and throughout the
following year. Tor the existence of which
at the time numerous theories were ad-
vanced. The cause of these ruddy glows
was the interference which the suns rays
met i'll passing through an atmosphere
having great quantity of impalpa BILE
dust in suspension. Now of all the rays
of the solar spectrum the violet is most
affected and the red least in passing
through such an atmosphere, and such in
reference will be specially noticeable
when, because the sun is low. at or near
the horizon, his rays must pass through a
vast depth of air.
Finally the mpalpable dust referred to
in gradual descent reached the earth's 8
surface, some OF it mingling with the soil
and some sinking to the clay ooze at the
bottom of the ocean. We'll does Winchell
speak of the strange fortune of these min
ute particles as follows:
"At first minute crystals they were
yomited forth from The throat of the vol
cano into the air, where they impaired a
ruddy glow to many past sunset. Once
the source of the roseate glory of the twi-
light hour, they lie now in impenetra BILE
darkness ana the repose of death. How
changed the fortune of these microscopic
fragmentsl They hoated for months in
the upper thin air-in the film of space
which separates earth from heaven--borne
hither by the simeon, thither by the anti
trades, hurled into the vortex of cyclone
and preci ritated into the ocean by fall
ing mass of vapor. Here seized by the
waves and rocked and beaten at the sur

in twain and one of the parts thus formed
blown to atoms; the awful fall OF volcanic
materials, the accom- panying tempests of
wind and -ain.
Up to 1888 by common consent. the
eruption of Vesuvius just described was
considered the greatest in the historic Pc
riod, though one other held place hardly
inferior. Between America and Europe,
on the very confines OF the Northern Polar
Zone, lies that far-off strange island, born
OF fire and water, known as Iceland, as
sad a misnomer by the way as Greenland
is. In the southeastern portion OF this
island lies a mountain platform, every
where over 1000 feet above the sea-level,
upon which is vast field OF ice upward
of 1000 square miles in area. On the
southeastern margin OF this glacial field
arise several mountain peaks to height
of over 5000 feet above the sea-level. The
most famous of these is Skapter Jokuil.
In 1888, when the population of the
island had already exceeded 100, 600, this
volcano, heretofore inactive suddenly in
dicated that it was not extinct breaking
out into one of the most terrible eruptions
of modern times. An enormous amount
of lava was emitted. forming a vast
stream. which soon separated into two,
one of which was over 100 feet deep and
fifteen miles wide. These two rivers
types of Phiegethon and Acheron of the
Internal regions-howed on for over fifty
miles until they reached the precipitous
bluffs marking the land terminus OF the
island. Over these bluffs they poured
two awful. glowing lava cataracts, tartar
can Niagaras, into the seething pillows of
the mighty deep. The result is far better
imagined than described. From the di-
rect effect of the eruption and indirectly
from the destruction of the fish, thus cut

of mountain esteemed before so kind
and friendly. The news of the unusual
commotion spread, and Batavia and
other cities sent their thousands to the
island, curious to see and hear. AS the
year advanced the mutterings increased
in loudness, the ground shook more vio-
lently, and finally about May the sounds
resem bled the steady roll of heavy and
yet somewhat distant thunder.
Then came the midwinte season in the
Southern Hemisphere, the month OF July,
and with it period of quiescence, and
the matter began to be forgotten. In
August however, the mutterlngs and
rum blings recommended with greater
vigor than ever, with again some short
periods of quiescence, The crisis was
reached August % at 10 O'Clock A. NJ. 1t
was beautiful Sabbath morning, and the
waters of the Straits OF Sunda were like
that sea of glass, as clear as crystal, of
which John in his apocalyptic vision
speaks. The beauty of that morning was
especially enhanced by the extraordinary
transparency of the tropical air, which
brought the distant mountains most re-
markably near-a phenomenon frequently
observable before the advent OF great dis.
turbances of the earth's interior. Now
and then a mysterious rum bling would
be heard-the only sound to disturb the
breathess calm and silence that lay on
nature.
The eruption about to take place was
near-the mightiest, the most awful on
record The hour of 10 strikes and the
eruption has begun. Almost instantly
sudden night snatches away heaven and
day from the eyes of beholders, and. save
for the vivid display of lightning around
the colossal column of volcanic dust as
cending the skies, the darkness IS total for
