Vesuvius Lays
Town in Ruins
Boscatrecase is a Gray Island Of
Ruins Covered With Tons
of Ashes.

Naples, April Z. Mount Vesu-
vius is a colossal brazier, and
the town of Boscatrecase, on its
southern declivity, is a gray is
land of ruined country, covered
by tons of ashes.
Torrents of liquid fire are
coursing in all directions, while a
pail of sulphurous smoke that
hovers over all makes breathing
difficult.
The streams of lave are resist
less. They snap like pipestems
the trunks of chestnuts hundreds
of years old and blight the blooms
on the peach trees before the
trees themselves have been
reached, and raze the homes of
the peasants and dash into the
wells as though seeking to slake
their thirst and continue the
course down the mountains.
Every where pitiful scenes are
witnessed, women tearing their
