When John Ericsson went TO live at No. 30
Beach-st he was sixty-one years old. The
world of science accounted him genius and
men called him great He had already achieved
enough triumphs to secure his fame for centu-
ries. He had built the first fast locomotive
the first practical fire engine and the first screw
steamship TO cross the Atlantic. He had revolu-
tionized naval construction by adapting the pro-
peller to warships and the victory of his Moni-
tor over the Merrimac had not only brought
him fortune, but woven his name inseparably
into American history. Yet he was not satisfied.
1t had been the dream of his life TO turn the
suns rays into mechanical power and to make
man Independent of earthly fuels. The remain
ing twenty-five years of his life he devoted to
this problem. and at No. sc Beach-st. he used
up his wealth well as his life in this vain

Murder Causes Comment.
New York. Aug. 28.-ln the large

of the assassination of Magelssen, vice
consul at Beirut, Syria, caused much
comment. 1t was believed that he had
either fallen a victim to the fanatical
hatred of Mussulman for Christian
or because of his efficient and earnest
labors in behalf of his country and
countrymen. Several native Syrians
expressed the belief that the murder
was not of a political nature, but re-
suited from a personal affair.

vESuvluS Is. ACTIVE. AGAIN.
Huge crevasse Appears in the Fa-
nous Volcano.
Be1ches Forth a Fiery Stream of Lava
Eruption Occurs With
out Warming.

Naples, Aug. 28.-The people of Ma
pies and the environs witnessed re-
markable spectacle at noon Wednesday.
One thousand feet below the central
cone of Vesuvius the volcano opened
like a huge mouth, out of which belched
fiery stream of lava, which ran down
the side of the mountain, and at first it
seemed to menace the observatory.
This building, however, Is protected in
the direction of the stream by a mound
OF lava 200 feet high which was thrown
out during the eruptions of 1895 and
1900. The eruptions occurred without
any warning whatever. There was no
earthquake, defamation or rain Of ashes,
nothing but clear stream Of lava and
red hot stones which were thrown to a
height Of 700 feet, producing an ex-
tremely beautiful effect seen from Ma
pies. The stream of lava, which is Is
feet broad, at II O'Clock Wednesday
night had covered distance Of 1900
feet. It deviated later from the direc-
ton of the observatory, which is no
longer menaced. The only danger is for
the new electric tramway up to the vol
cano, which, however; has thus far not
been touched. The eruption already
tseems to be decreasing, and it is hoped
| that no damage will result from it.
The spectators far enough away not
to be frightened stood entranced at the
| spectacle, but those nearer to the VOL
cano were seized by panic when the
eruption began and rushed down from
the sides of the mountain and from the
! adjacent country to the villages of Por-
tici and Resina, which are built over the
ruins of Herculaneum The alarm in
these villages was somewhat quieted by
the mayor af1ixing notices declaring
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1903-09-02

that there was no danger and exhorting
the people to remain calm. The chief
of police Of Naples has gone personally
to make a tour of the villages around
Vesuvius in order to reassure the peas
ants and superintend any measures of
protection which may be deemed nee
essary. The superstitious lower classes
are agitating' for the expulsion of Prof
Krull, Of Munich, who predicted the
eruption, declaring that he has the "evil
eye."
