once the most unwholesome and repul-

attaches itself TO the memory forever
by the magic OF its great bay. its dome
of cloudless sky above, its mountain
background and its riot of color and
environment.
Nowhere else may be found such
characteristic city life as in Naples,
The march Of civilization, the spread
of-industrial and commercial activities

ern times, but the glamour Of Neapoll-
tan street life has not been dissipated,
The crowd of New York or Chicago is

crowd intent on business. The crowd
OF Naples Is general tide rolling up

hundred eddies of men, Here you
are swept on by the current; there you
are whirled by the vortex.
A diversity of trades disputes your
passage. You are brought to a stand =

lost among the wares OF dealer In

pots Of a macaron stall and You are

foot Of Vesuvms, Tore del Greco, had

eruption Of 1905. After It was over

giant assure in the principal street,
and those who descended to the bot
tom found themselves in a church
which had been buried by previous
eruption. Stll, the Neapolitans MAIN
tain stoutly that the region is not es-
sentially volcanic.
This absurd nsistence seems to be
an inheritance. Previous TO the year

Mount Vesuvus and the Modern Neapoitan:

is region Of caricature, and every
bargain sounds like battle. II seems
to you that all the city's inhabitants
are In the open air and that all it's
trade is carried on In the street. All
sorts OF vendors jostle each other on
every side. and the atmosphere is rent
with their not unmelodious importuni-
ties.
Besides the dealers In lemonade and
melons and hot sausages and roasted
chestnuts and macaronl In its protean
forms that are common to all Italian
cities there are professional letter writ
ers who for an infinltesimal fee will In
dite love letter or dun, street cob
blers who will mend your shoes while
you wait, BARRIERS who will shave you
or cut your hair on the pavement and
thousand and one other persons who
are willing, but not overanxious, to
serve you In as many ways.
When YOU see II all and become
somewhat acquainted with the nature
Of the Neapoltan you no longer wonder
why II is that even Mount vesuvius
with its towering menace through all
the centuries has not been able to make
lasting impression on the happy 20
lucky Neapolitan.

AN ENORMOUS SEAL.

Not the least interesting thing in
the recent French presidential election
was the great seal of the republic--a
from Versailles entails something like
procession. 1t dates from the ma
tional assembly of 1871 and exhibits a
full sized France on her feet. 1t Is so
tremendous an instrument that 1t Is
mounted on wheel and requires three
men to maneuver It. On the day Of
the election It was affixed to the three
regulation copies of the official record
Of the proceedIngs--one for the new
president and one for each OF the
archives OF the senate and OF the cham
ber after which It was solemnly es-
rorted back to It's domicile in Paris.

make their escape. That some OF them
fingered and persisted Is due TO their
blind trust In the continued friendli-
ness II the mountain and their failure
to realize that its muttered threats
were laden with meaning.
The Neapolitan, however is not a
stranger to the humors Of VesuYius.
He has known so much of the erratic
conduct Of the mountain that he has
become tolerant of IT, The whole base
Of the volcano has been skirted from
time immemorial with series Of sub
urban villages In which more than
100000 persons live like birds that have
built their nests In the mouths Of can
non. A road twenty miles in length,
beginning al Naples, extends south
eastWardy along the shore Of the bay
and then. winding inland, completely
encircles the mountain. This highway
is dotted thickly with iwelllns ~

murderous suddenness. For centuries
the mountain had shown faint sign Of
violence. Its sides were verdurous to
the very top, and its lower half was
the garden Of Italy. At its foot clus-
tered the white, luxurious villas of the
most patrlcian families in the empire
That danger lurked within the hollow
mountain had become vain tradition
Nobody believed In II and nobody felt
insecure. and the fiery inundation came
without warning.
Not so the eruption Of 1906. No nat
ural upheayal has ever been more
languid, more prolific OF threats and
symptoms, SO gradual was It's devel-
opment that the loss of life and prop
erty mas been out of all proportion to

THE LAZY MAN,

II must be admitted that some OF the
best work that has lived has been done
by indolent men. This Is especially
true as regards literature. The finest
description OF a sunrise was written BY
the poet Thomson in bed. Coleridge
was one Of the most indolent OF men,
yet his work Is, Of Its kind, unap.
preached.
One Of the most important improve.
ments In the steam engine was due to
the Incidence OF James Watt. Many
other examples might be quoted; but.
as a general rule, 1t is fairly correct to
say that work which is the outcome OF
meditation or prolonged observation is
best performed by people whose natural
Incidence makes them careless OF the
strife and hustle IN which an active
temperament would tend TO immerse
them.

have been seismic disturbances at in
tervals sufficient to prove that the fiery
monster has only been sleeping.
But 1t has taught the Neapolltan no
especial lesson. He is the same today
as ever, and there is no promise that
tomorrow will work any change In
him. Naples is In all things superla-
tive and self contradictory. It's people
