His majesty rolled of in his carriage
and left the diEconsolate equerry to his
own thoughts, which were not Of the
most pleasant, US he would have to hunt
up the chief of police of Moscow, Prince
Lushenupsd, and secure 9 full report
Of the stranger and every move he had
made since the day he was born.
That evening the car sat in his bomb

ton Of Punch. II cost him the life Of

college every month 10 translate Punch,
for no sooner had the professor trans

In On interview Prof. semmolA, d.
rector Of the observatory Of vesuvius,
has some suggestive remarks concern
ing the workings OF the great volcano.
With other observers the professor has
discarded the idea Of the molten In
terror Of the earth. The belief pre-
vailed for some time" he says. 'that the
periods Of greatest activity OF yssuvius
were eoluoident with those Of the
moons greatest attraction. ] inyesti-
gated this question very thoroughly
both by observations for two years and
an extended comparison Of past records
Of the moon and the volcano. II became

been thrown out. Tho eccentric action
Of the sea, and Of the wells and springs
in the surrounding country established
an obvious relation. Many unofficial
records Of past eruptions describe the
sinking Of the sea, hIh stranded on thO
shores thus laid bare, etc. Palmieri,
however, came to the conclusion, based
on his investigation Of the eruption Of
1881, that II q not the sea that sank,

that In the eruption the coast wa
