VOLCANO IN RAGE.
Vesuvius Throws Out Great Masses
of Lava.


Naples advices say that Mt. Fesuvius
is in full eruption and is throwing out an
enormous mass Of lava.
A dispatch from Messina, Sicily says:
The ancient crater in the island Of Strom-
boil is in full eruption. A panic prevails
in the villages around the volcano.
Violent earthquakes are reported from
Sultana and Palena, Italy. simultaneous
ly with the eruption Of Nesuvius and
Strombol. Many houses FELL church stee-
pies tottered. and there is a great panic.
The population of the two villages fed
to the country. Two persons were killed
and more than 100 wounded.
Not since September, 1904, has the
mountain that overwhelmed Pompeil and
Herculaneum presented such a dangerous
appearance. At that time the eruptions
were greater and more destructive than
any since 1872. Sept. %, 1904. observa-
ton showed that in eleven hours there
were 1874 violent explosions, and that
masses of redhot stone and boiling lava,
weighing many tons. were tossed out of

rails of the Fernicular railroad. and burn
ed away many houses and hutS. Veg
citation within one mile Of the crater dis
appeared and many farms and vineyards
were destroyed.
NeSuvius has a remarkable record.
Since 70 A. d., when Pompeii was over
whelmed. there have been sixty ire
mendous commissions and thousands Of
lives have been lost in the upheavals Of
the volcano. The mountain then rested
for 124 years, and in 2O3 A. ID. came
the second recorded eruption. In 412 the
eruption was so tremendous that ashes
were carried over the whole Of Europe
and even to Asia and Africa. The fourth
great eruption was in 1896. and the fifth
in 1851. There were then q number of
smaller commissions. 1t was not until
1873 that modern scientific men began
to study the volcano closely.
In 1894 there was an eruption that
overwhelmed the town Of Tore del Gre
co. a great hole was opened in the side
of the mountain near the base and the
lava poured through the opening. One
stream of lava alone is estimated as hav.
ing contained 46,OOO.OOO cubic yards of
molten rock. During the last century
the eruptions were frequent and deadly.
the flows of lava in 1850, 1855 and 1855
being especially important. Then. in
April, 1872, came the big overflow of the
fury. In 1882. 1886 1891 and 1897
there were forceful eruptons.

CHOLERA IN EUROPE
ALARMING INVASION OF THE
ASIATIC BACILLUS.
Have Not Been Aroused to the
Danger and Are Not Prepared to
Cope with 1t.

Berlin dispatches state that forty-three
eases of cholera in all have been reported
Nine persons have died from the disease
and many suspicious cases are under OBJ
servation. The legal and medical ma
chinery for dealing with this invasion OF
Asiatic bacillus is now working ut full
pressure.
Prof Edward Sonnenberg said that no
one need fear an epidemic such as that
of 1929, because the health authors
ties since that time had built up an or.
ganiZation quite adequate to grasp the
beginnings of cholera and put down the
disease with decision and tirmneSs.
The health machinery to which Prof.
Sonnenberg alluded is working in cooper
alton with the police and other public
services. With the exception of the one
death at Hamburg the cholera is confined
TO the West Prussien districts. and every
case of illness in these districts must be

istration would feel satisfied with what
is being done.
A doubt. almost amounting to convic-
fion, exists that the Russian administra
