distance 10 lodes have been intersec:ed.
Seven of these show pay ore at the point

1t is sorrowful tale of stricken vic
tins, devastated vineyards, ruined homes
and terror stricken, flying people that
comes from the neighborhood of Naples,
and it is hard to realize that the same
scenes have been enacted there so many
times before. Turn to Pliny's letters to
Tacitus, written about 100 years after
Christ, in the midst of the great eruption
that destroyed Pompeii, and there are
many parts of its vivid descriptions which
Marion Crawford could have put into his
dispatch without changing a word. The
same flaming mountain and shaking
earth, the same sitting smoke and ashes
the same terrifying darkness, and the
same helpless, distracted crowd stretch
ing vain hands to their Gods for succor.
How little, after all, men differ the
world over, and how little in their essen
tial attributes time has changed them.
Nature soon heals her scars. Already,
we are told, patches of green have ap-
peared on the blackened sides of Mount
Pelee, and it will not be very long be-
fore the olive and the vine and the clus-
tering villages will find their way back
again to the slopes of Vesuvius, Wash
ington Post.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1906-04-20

one of the most important in the history
of Vesuvius. Its effects are less terrible
than those of the eruption in the year 10,
when Pompeii was buried, but it equals
in intensity the great eruptions of 1881
and 1872. What results this eruption
will yield to science is not yet certain.
Eruptions are not exact in science. You
cannot count of Vesuvius; each of its
eruptions has its characteristics. This
one was marked by an abundance of ell
ectrical phenomena. / have already
collected quantities of cinders and scoriae
for comparison with similar matter from
other eruptions, and later l will collect
large stones"
Professor Matteucci pointed to the
shelves in his laboratory, where there
were plates containing cinders varying
in size and bottles filled with ashes, and
there were also in the room enormous
stones, each labelled with the date of its
election from the volcano.
Asked concerning Mount Vesuvius in
the future, Professor Matteucci replied
Il am unable to tell with any degree of
certainty. / sincerely hope this eruption
is over, but who can tell whether an
other terrible CONFUSION may not come
during the next minute. However, all
my indications point to a period of calm
| for the next few days, and therefore l am
hopeful. But was hopeful last night,
although a serious explosion occurred at
ten o'clock in the evening without warn
| ing"
Professor Matteucci handed the CORE
spondent a stone the size of three-inch
shell as a souvenir of his visit, saying,
''These are very precious stones. Some
of them have hit me at one time or an
other. They represent my wounds"
He then led the way to his sleeping
quarters, which showed the confusion
that existed throughout the domestic
branch of the observatory during the
eruption. AS he returned to the portico
Vesuvius gave another deep groan, end
ing with fearful explosion which blew
off a portion of its new cone.
See" exclaimed the Professor, 1.-THE
eruption may be resumed at any mo-
ment. That explosion rent the westerly
cone"
Mount Vesuvius presented majestic
spectacle from this point of vantage at
the observatory. This was far inside
the outer circle of smoke, which hides
the volcano from Naples. The great
monster stood out clearly under the
bright sunlight. 1t was entirely white,
like snow covered mountain, for the
ashes had altered its former green color.
Its contour also had changed. The gil
gantic, Jagged cone no longer rose like
the setting of an enormous jeweled ring.
Instead, the top now forms graceful
curve, harmonizing the gradual slope of
the foothills. The white surface of the
mountain is slit here and there as with a
giant sabre stroke, leaving gulches
through which lava courses. The
wrecked remnant of the funicular rail
way lay at the bottom of one of these
gulches, some of the twisted cable pro
tubing from the ashes.

RUN DOWN BY AUTOMOBILE
Four Persons Injured, Two of the m
Seriously, in Detroit.

Detroit, Mich, April 15.-An automo-
bile chauffeur, giving the name of Thorn
as Muneio, aged twenty. one, has been
placed under arrest. together with his
five companions, two young men and
three girls, as the result of their automo-
bile running down and injuring four peo-
pie on Jefferson avenue late tonight.
The one most seriously injured was
three year old Loren Falkner, The boys
father was also injured, but was able to
take the boy in his arms and board a sub
urban car for home. William Couls and
his daughter, Miss Edna Couls, sustained
bad bruises, and it is feared Mr.. Couls
may have been injured internally.

side of the street and swerved between
two trolley cars to the right side, direct
ly upon group of nine people waiting

Vesuvius in Action.

The whole world looks on, awestruck
at the fierce outbreak of stupendous
and devastating force in the Bay of
Naples. 1t is believed to be the most
destructive since the days of Pompeii.
1t wassdoubtless the exhibition of some
raelites to think that the Almighty Him
self was present in person on Sinai's
flaming top and speaking to them in
its thunderings. If, however, eminent
scientists are correct, the entire phe-
nomenon is nothing more than a very
large tempest in huge caldrOn, and
due to the same power that throws the
lid off the teapot that stands on the
kitchen stove.
Prof. Shaler, of Harvard, who has
Just died, head of the Harvard scien-
tific school and eminent everywhere, in
his fascinating book, ASPECTS of the
Earth" advances the theory that vol
canoes are due to water from the sea
and it is said that they never occur
save in its vicinity-making its way
slowly to IA depth in the earth where
the intense heat forms superheated steam,
which goes on accommodating till it must
find a vent and blows the top off the
nearest mountain. The first reports of
the eruption spoke not only of the
streams of lava, the showers of stones
and dust and ashes but of the presence
of steam, which speedily condensed and
caused rain.
