MOUNT VESUv|US
Some Eruptions of the Worlds Most
 Famous Volcano.


 whole district, including Naples and it's surroundings as far north as Caserta, 5 miles north of the volcano, to Castelle- mare di Stabia, five miles beyond Pom- peii on the south, is va desert.
 Every vestige of veg, ation was killel. Vineyards, gardens and farms were ren- dered useless The mills and factories in the devastated district were e 'ther destroyed or deserted. The silk and wine industries were luined.
 Otta aano, at the foot of Monte Somma, more than four miles moi theast of Nesu- vius, is among the towns that were destroyed. It is practically buried in ashes like Pompeii. Portions of Tore del Greco and Torre del fAnnunziata are buried and des royed Sarno, ten miles to the east of the crater, and San Genarro, both reported as having been consumed by lava, are still standing, only portions of them being destroyed. More than twenty other O Ens are buried and in luins.
 Thousands of people are engaged in shoveling ashes and mud from the roofs of the buildings that are still standing.

 Mount Vesuyius is the most famous v,lcar in the world and the only active one on the col tinent of Europe. It is situated on the Bay of Naples, an estu- ary of the Armenian sea, nine Il iles east-southeast of Naples, the capital of the Italian province of that name, and about 125 miles southeast of Rome. It ha; two summits, the volcano proper, about 200 feet high, and Monte Somma, to the north, 3, 150 feet high. It is about 225 miles northeast of Mount Etna, which is on the island of Si,il'', and tie next most famc us European vo'c mo.
 As volcano, Nesuvius was regarded as extinct in ancient times, and on its southern slope, five miles distant from the summit, was built Pompeii, four ishing provincial city, containing many luxurious villas of Romans, seat of learning and the arts. Almost at the seas edge at tine foot of the Vt tstern slope, four miles from the crater, was the scarce less important town of Hercu- laneum.
 The frat indication that power for evil lurked in trtacherous V, suvius was in the year A. D. 63, when severe earth quakes seriously injurel lompeii and Herculaneum. The first eruption, and the worst, took place Is yeart later. in the year A. D. "a. Both Pompeii and HerC ulaneum were totally de. troyed. They were covered with mud and then ashes and lava to depth of from 70 to ll2 feet.

saw, But this feeling that Cans Il
going to quit has knocked the betting
SO that everybody wants to put their
money on the Dane, But ii MIR. Nolan
should agree to have Nelson so out,
think of the amount of money that
this combination could make by play
ing. say 100000, on Cans to win.
SHOULD such u thing come OF the
Cans outfit would make over 100000
clear. Should Cans. 30 out however,
the cleanup would be very much
smaller.
Every end OF this fight looks wrong.
In the first place Eddie Graney was
empowered by Nolan to make any sort
Of match he liked for Nelson, and
then he suddenly doomed out AS Cans
representative. Then when the news
came from 6oldfield that Rickard was
going to put up $4,000 purse, Graney
went to Ogden to see what could be
done to have the fight pulled off here.
But before he saw Nolan in Ogden the
trick had been definitely turned for
Goldfield.
Then there was talk OF Graney for
referee. Suddenly out Of Chicago came
an interview with Morris Levy, Graney's
partner in the prize ring trust, stating
that Graney was the hacker of Cans.
Now it would not look very good for
Eddie Graney to appear in the Goldfeld
ring as referee with people believing
that he was financial agent behind the
nigger.
"of course the Goldfeld people are
using the fight as an advertising scheme.

nowned briisers that there will be a
chance to float LOT of wildcat mining

be able to foist on the public. Of course

WAX TAPERS.
Made To-day M They Were In the
Seventeenth Century.

Made To-day M They Were In the
Seventeenth Century.
In the manufacture OF wax matches
and the long and slender tapers which
are known rs rats de cave cellar rats
the method introduced into France by
Pierre Blesmaire In the middle Of the
seventeenth century Is still In use.
The method Is practlced today In the
Carriere factory at Bourg lac RIne,
near Paris. The cords OF which the
wick Is composed pass into a basin Of
melted wax heated by small furnace,
from which they are drawn through a
perforated plate to large wooden
drum which Is turned slowly by hand.
The operation 10 repeated two or three
times, the size of the hole through
which the cord passes being increased
each time. When the waxed cord has
attaited the required size 1t ls wound
on large reels In skelns Of 400 or 800
meters Cabout 1900 feet, which are
boxed and shipped to wholesalers. 1t
ls also furnished In lengths Of from
three to ten meters (ten to thirty three
feet, folded as often as may be re-
qulred for convenient packing. These
tapers are now used chiefly by wine
merchants and by sections In lighting
church candles.
The very short and thick candles,
called veilleuseg, or night candles, are
composed Of Il mixture Of wax and
stearin. The nolding machine differs
considerably from the apparatus used
for ordinary candles, although the prln-
clple of the operation Is unchanged.
After the little candles have cooled
the attendant removes them from the
molds and conveys them to women,
who put them In tin cups, which pre-.
vent the escape of melted wax during
combustion, and pass them to other
women, who label and pack them.
