Who Owns Vcsuvlus7

The story Of the strangest quarrel
the world has ever seen comes from
Italy. 1t is nothing less than strug-
gle between four little towns for the
possession Of Vesuvus.
These little places are Resina, Tor
re Greco, Boscotra Case and Ottajano.
Resina owned the volcano in the past,
and thirty years ago erected land
marks limiting the area of its posses
sions, but successive eruptions swept
away these stones and they had to be
regretted quite recently. Then the
authorities of the other places inter
vened.
At first sight there may not seem
to be much advantage in owning a
volcano, but the successful town prob
ably intends to charge small fee
to tourists who inspect its treasure.
Another point about which the sue
cessful town would do well to have
legal ruling Is whether 1t could be
held responsible for damage done by
its volcano.-London Mirror.

A Scrapbook of Real Value.

To devote scrapbook to one sub
ject makes it much more interesting
and valuable and when you begin to
gather material on any one theme
you will be surprised at the amount
which will come to hand. Suppose
that you want to know all about some
famous person, either in the public
eye at present, or some one of past
times. From magazines and other
sources can be collected articles, por-
traits, perhaps poems, in relation to
the subject, etc. When matter is
clipped, the scrapbook maker may
copy it neatly with pen into her
book The educational value Of such
a book is something worth while, as
we'll as the satisfaction Of having
gathered oneself so much information
on single subject.
