DAY ON VESTJVIIJS.

vesuvius dominates the whole land
scape He finally got the better Of us,
drew us like a magnet; so, finding that
the ascent can be made from Sorrento,
as well as anywhere, we gave day to
1t. The road. an ascending spiral, en-
braces the great black mountain like
the coils of a serpent. At first 1t leads
through pleasant vineyards; when these
are left behind the dreadful lava fields
begin. The weird forms Of the petri-
fed rivers Of lava, once red and molten,
now grim and black, suggest human
bodies writhing in the clutch Of horrid
monsters. Here a huge trunk madly
wrenches itself from the tolls. there a
vast body lies supine and agonized, the
last resistance passed. When we left
our carriage at the foot of the funicular
railroad I felt I had passed through
several circles Of the Inferno. Dante
must have received many of the
Vesuvius. At the summit, when I
looked down into the crater at the
slippery, Shiny sides, with their velvet
bloom of sulphur saw where the
fathers Of the Church and the early
painters, Fra Angelica among them, got
their ideas Of hell. Marcus Aurelius,
my guide. bibulous, muscular. with a
grip of iron. found point from which,
when the wind lifted the veil of thick
white smoke. I could. by leaning we'll
over the crater, see the flood at the bot
tom surge, sethe, toss up from it's depth
big. re-hot stones. which dropped back
again while the mountain roared and
scolded. It was an awesome day.
Vesuvius has given me not only new
! understanding of the poetry and
religion of Italy, but of the Italian
character, which it has had a share in
| forming. On our way down we ran
over a soldier. the front wheel of our
carriage passing across his leg. We
were three people; it must have hurt
him. but he got up and walked off
cursing us vehemently. / wish the

OF the Judd Restaurant-Mr. Judd to

Alvah M. Judd has sold his we'll
known restaurant business on Orange
street to Messrs. Chagnon & Miller,
who have taken charge, and both of
whom are popular men and we'll fitted

been for years identified with various
meat markets in this city and the latter

drove off and severely wounded. Mr.
Miller has removed his family to this
city and taken rent on Fairfield ave-

turned his attention to the best means
of nourishing and sustaining the patient
until she should awake of her own ac-
cord. The method adopted was to
battle the sleeper night and morning in
thin cruel and milk, injecting little
of the same fluid into the throat by
means of reed: the liquid thus abb
sorbed by the pores of the skin being
found sufficient to keep the heart beat
ing and sustain life.
When the girl fell asleep in 1901 she
was pretty, fair in complexion, and
about 10 years of age, but as the
months rolled on the flesh wasted
away, the eyes, over which the lids
were closely drawn, became sunken,
while all the facial bones could be
counted. The skin turned as white as
marble, and when the flesh was cut by
one of the surgeons the blood, instead
of being red and flowing easily, was
white and of the consistency Of glyce-
rim.
Doctors went from all parts of the
Continent to visit the slumberer, but
among them all there was not one who
could succeed in arousing her. During
the last week in May of this year the
sleeper, who was closely watched dur
ing every movement Of her long slum-
Der, was seen to move her right arm,
then her head, and at last, slowly open
ing her eyes, the. young girl-now in APP
pearance an old, old woman-looked
wonderingly round the room. -.

but, though she apparently had a de-
sire to reply, no words came from her

been subject to periodical fits of slum-
Der which had lasted for two and three
days at a stretch. 4 .. ST.. ...r
In 1898, according to a Russian
writer, he cell asleep while working in
the fields, and was there found by his
wife. She had him carried to their
cabin and laid on the trestle bed, 80 that
he might have his sleep out in comfort,
as he had done on many previous oc-
casions. The next day and for several
days he still slumbered, and when a
week had gone by his wife became
alarmed.
She managed to secure the services OF
a local doctor, whose practice was
among the peasantry, but though he
tried his best to awaken the sleeper, all
his efforts were futile. The doctor
visited the patient for five months, when
his duties called him to St. Petersburg,
and he was obliged to relinquish the
case. =..
Another physician, however under
took to watch the men. and two more
months passed. No effort was made to
feed the sleeper, and he did not appear
to have lost flesh to any great extent.
In the spring Of 1894 the man who had
been lying on his back, was found to
have turned over on his left side, his
left arm being tucked under his head.
The doctor sent for and after examin-
ing the patient he injected a
powerful hypodermic. which took in
slant effect. The man opened his eyes,
stretched his arms above his head,
yawned and attempted to get out Of
bed.
4, But his limbs were weak as an In
fant's, and he would have fallen had
not the doctor pushed him back. He
was carefully fed and nursed, and in a
fortnight was sufficiently recovered to
go about his work.
A more recent case was that of Winf-
fred Earle, living in Sixth avenue, New
York, who fell asleep in December of
last year, and after slumbering for three
| days, was sent to Bellevue hospital to
, see il the physicians there could sue
coed In waking her. Everything, from
electric" batteries to saline injections,
was tried, but without success.
The girl, VINO was only 16, continued
to slumber peacefully for three weeks,
when a slight movement Of the eyelids
was noticed. A strong light was held
before her eyes. and few moments
later she awoke
So weak had she become. that though
every effort was made to save her, she
gradually sank, and after two days fell
into that deeper slumber from which
! there is no awakening. Chicago Trib-

WHALING OFF NEWFOUNDLAND.
Greatest Whale-Hunting Center in the

Greatest Whale-Hunting Center in the
World.
The greatest whale hunting center in
the world is the Grand bank of New
foundland. The magnitude of the in
dustry now far exceeds that of New
Bedford, in the United States, or Dun
dee, in Great Britain. Fully eight
hundred whales of the largest size will
be killed around the Newfoundland
coast line this year, not including herd
of one hundred and forty three white
whales, or squid hounds, which drove
ashore in st. Mary's bay recently, and
were killed by the residents with
scythes, pitchforks and axes. These
creatures are Of the porpoise tribe, with
round, stubby teeth and but thin
covering of fat. They range from ten
to fifteen feet long, and in chasing the
squid, on which they feed, often ground
on sandy beaches, and, being unable to
escape, become an easy prey to the
resident fishermen. Not for fortysix

MANY RIP VAN Wrinkles,

Persons Known to Sleep for Months
and Years.
Rip Van Wrinkle, created in fiction,
has rivals in reality, for scattered over
the world to-day are men, women and
children who have beeen sleeping for
months and even years, and who have
defied all the efforts of the greatest
savants of the age to awaken them from
their slumbers.
Perhaps the most recent instance of a
lengthy sleep comes from Paris, where
the victim died last may after a nap
which had lasted two years. In the lat

was knocked down. The successful
bidder was Edwin R. Laning who
bought the stock for the recently Or
ganized Cumberland DEVELOPMENT
Company.

big dredge began to pump their land

months they have been at work pur-
