ing of Saturday, the It'll, when to the
accompaniment of light earthquakes
felt in Naples. the mountain was cleft
upon its southern slope and streams
of lava issued from the terrace above
Tore Annunziata. At the same time
the violence of the explosions within
the crater was so increased that
several hundred feet of its upper por
ton was carried upward in the great
rush of escaping steam, and trans
ported by the westerly wind to be
dropped over the fertile slopes and up
on the campagna northeast of the
mountain The flourishing cities OF
Ottaiano and San Giuseppe, which
hug the foot of the volcano, were
half buried under this rain of frag-
ments and cinder; while a leaden sky
and slowly sift ng ash-fall prevailed
throughout all the country as far as
the Adriatic. In the city of San
Giuseppe the inhabitants sought refuge
from the flying missiles before the
altar of their little church, where they
were quickly buried by the falling
on the heavy roof under its burden
of lapilli. Both in San Giuseppe and
Ottaiano numerous house roofs col
lapsed with considerable loss of life.
By Sunday morning the black and
steaming lava which had issued upon
the southern slope of the volcano, was
approaching the populous city of Bos-
cotrecase. in which were now enacted
in rapid succession the scenes Of
tragedy unfortunately but too well
known upon Vesuvius. Rushing into
the church the zealously religious peo-
pie raised the eff1gy of their patron,
SAINT Anna, above their heads ana
with burning altar candles marched
In procession to meet their traditional
enemy. Halted at its very front, the
priest at their head now held up a
warning hand; but, spurning all laws
save those of Nature, the black and
steaming mass crept slowly but resist
lessly on and compelled retreat to
places of safety. One after the other
their homes were invaded by the lava
and before nightfall only Che roofs OF
taller villas revealed the site Of city
of nine thousand inhabitants.
Below Boscotrecase the lava current
continued its descent to threaten the
far greater city Of Tore Annunziata.
Fortunately, however, its volume had
now been so reduced that it came to
a halt at the campo santo in the very
outskirts of the city.
In the dim light which penetrated
the ash-cloud overhanging the country
to the north and west OF the volcano,
one toiled through heavy ash to ind
always the same silence and desola-
ton. Houses had been deserted by
psnic-stricken population. and only
Few lean swine roamed about IN
search of the buried food which even
their special facilities for excavating
hardly availed them to reach. Upon
the soft ash the irregularities OF the
buried surface were revealed In soft
ened outlines as they are from beneath
a heavy cover Of snow. Indeed, IL one
can imagine a snow fall colored IKE

grams of assurance, which printed in

the streets.

while displaying some remarkable
photographs which he had obtained
during the eruption, the director had

gold on each bag of coffee sold. The
fixing of the value of the coffee crop
IS to be done by means of purchases,
to be made by commission, at from
90 to 90 francs gold for a sack of six
ty kilos, No Z coffee New York grad
ing. This would mean the fixing of
the price at from s11 to $13 a sack
of 1872 pounds. The three state con-
cerned planned to undertake the en-
terprise on their own credit and au-
thority, but the governor of the STATE
of Rio Janeiro forced the matter into
federal channels by insisting, that, as
part of the scheme, exchange should
be fixed at the same time.
The present federal government.
however, has pronounced definitely
against the coffee valorization scheme
and is determined to maintain ex-
change above Is pence, OF 80 cents
gold, to the milreis, as long as it is
in power. In his message to congress
the president Of the republic discuss
es the question fully and frankly and
proposition. He declares that rash
measures might produce the opposite
effect of restricting the consumption
of coffee, provoke retaliation from
the consuming countries "and bring
on our markets the threat of agita
ton which very recent experience
has taught us to avoid The govern
ment is fully as decided in its atti-
tude against immediate conversion OF
the monetary system of the country
at less than par, proposition which
the president takes in his message.
The people of the United States
consume something like two-thirds
of Brazil's coffee crop yearly, and
they therefore have direct and vital
interest in the present economic
struggle in that country Men long
experienced in the business affairs OF
Brazil are of the opinion that the new
Brazilian government will not at
tempt the valorization of coffee, but
planting interests, in the way of per-
hitting the lowering OF the value of
the paper milreis and fixing its value
at something like 25 cents American
gold, probably arranging for the con-
version OF the paper currency to a
metal currency at the rate so fixed.
A movement has also been In
progress in Brazil to establish by
law value for sugar, but ii seems
to have received a decided setback
authorities who have had this pro-
position under consideration have
come to the conclusion that thus to
give fictitious value to sugar by
law would be, in fact, an indirect
bounty on the product, and that as a
result those countries, including the
United States, which have. begun the
policy of assessing an extra customs
duty equal to the bounty given sugar
manufactures would nullify the
proposition so far as sugar exports
were concerned. With American
markets closed to Brazilian sugars,
the prospects Of the country's export
trade in this commodity would be
very weak Brazil, In good years,
has shipped abroad something like
550,00O,O00 pounds Of sugar, accord

which rose above the level and barren
floor overgrown with wild vines. Into
this retreat Spartacus had led his
army of gladiators, to find them be-
sieged by the Praetor Clodias. 1t
has been supposed that this was the
condition of the mountain until the
year 10 A. D., when the greatest of
its outbursts buried Pompeii, Hercula-
cum, and Strabiae; but wall paintings
recovered from those cities seem to
indicate that even before that out
burst the wall of the ancient crater
had been in part broken down as
though from an earlier eruption. The
appearance of extinction proved to
be a temporary torpor only, and geo
logic study of the ancient crater has
disclosed no less than fifteen distinct
periods of eruption and at least two
long intervals of repose. Another inter-
val of quiet began in the year 1889
and continued nearly 500 years; the
locus of activity during this period
having been apparently transferred to
the Campi Flegrei west of Naples.
Again the crater was oyergrown with
forest and tangle of wild vines.
Only twenty years ago the belief In
the dependence of earthquakes upon
volcanoes was almost universal among
biologists; but few facts have now
been more firmly established by the
science than the lack of quick SYM
pathetic response of the one phenome-
non to the other. All the greater earth.
Quakes are now believed to result
from movements of portions OF the
earth's crust on planes of fracture.
The great Calabrian earthquake of
last September was caused by the
settlement of number OF earth
blocks upon complex system Cf
fractures-blocks which are on their
way to join others now forming the
floor of the Tyrrhenaen and Mediter-
ranean seas. The extended continent
of which they were once part joined
Italy with Sardinia and Corsica upon
the one hand and with Africa upon
the other. Over it elephants and hip
popotamuses found their way north
ward from Africa into Malta and sicily
where their bones have been uneartned
from caverns. There they died beside
animals such as now inhabit southern
Europe, and in such numbers TINT
their bones have been removed in
for the manufacture of
lamp black.
The greatest of all Calabrian earth
quakes followed upon grand eruptions
of Vulcano and Etna, and now the
latest great earthquake in Italy is
followed by the greatest eruption of
Vesuvius in nearly three centuries.
Such condolences are probably
for it has been shown that
the eruptions of the West Indian
volcanoes have similarly borne
relation in time to the great earth
quakes within that region. Sometimes
it has been the earthquake which has
taken precedence, and sometimes the
eruption. 1t is conceivable that the
pouring out of great quantities of
lava may tend to cause a subsistence
in near-lying territory to produce
an earthquake; as it may be assumed,
also, that the depression with shocks
of large area of the crust may slow.
