Monte BaIdO Is Beginning to Show
Signs of Activity.
London Standard.
There is something very piquant about
the idea of volcano in the Alps The
flames may come and provide spectacle
almost, If not quite, unique in character.
Meantime, Monte Baldo, between Lake
Garda and the valley of the Adige,. was
the center of volcanic action and frequent
earthquakes in former centuries, but
since 1910 the volcanic activity had almost
entirely ceased, except for occasional
and innocuous earthquakes. Last month,
however, symptoms of fresh volcanic dis
turbance were observed. and an indistinct
runbling, which seemed to come from
the interior of the mountain, was heard
in the villages. North of Malcesine the
harbor of Navene was dried up. This
rising was especially noticeable on the
oath ult., when the little island of Trimel-
Iona rose thirty centimetres within
twenty-four hours. The most remarka BILE
phenomenon, however, is the formation
of deep assures on the crest of Monte
Baldo, in a saddle between Monte AtIis-
simo and Veragnos Hot, white steam Is
elected from time to time out of these
assures, and is melting all the snow in
the neighborhood. A hot bitter spring is
visible near the village of Zocchi. The
numerous visitors now staying near Lake
Garda are naturally taking a good deal
OF interest in these developments.
