DESTRUCTION OF PoMPEIl.
Buried So Deep That It Was Lost For
Sixteen Centuries.

When one hears of buried city 1t is
very difficult to realize what 1t can
look like-still more so to realize how
city can be buried so deep as to be
utterly lost and the place Of it known
no more for sixteen centuries. Yet
this is what happened to Pompeii and
Hercu!aneum, Stablae and Retina and
thirteen other cities of the plain on
the ninth day before the calends OF
September, In the first year Of the
reign of the Emperor Titus. Thus 1t
was when Pompeii was buried. When
next the sun shone into her streets
George III was king of England. Siv-
teen years before the burial of the city
IN earthquake had done so much mis-
chief that the ruin was not yet quite
restored, but Mount Vesuvius had been
quiet ever since. The oath of August
was a terribly hot day.
Most Of the people were In the am
phitheater at a wild beast fight when
they saw a strange cloud rise from
Vesuvius. 1t seemed like pine tree.
The trunk, rose up high into the heav-
ems and then spread out In branches
some white, some dull and spotted-un-
til, slowly detaching themselves from
the parent trunk, they began to darken
the sky. Pliny the elder, over at
Misenum, was reading in his study
when his sister came in to tell him OF
this strange cloud. He ordered a light
galley to be got ready. and as he was
coming out with his tablets in his
hand ready to note down all he saw the
mariners belonging to the galleys. al
Retina came up to implore OF him to
go to their help.
BY the time Pliny got there with his
galleys the ashes: were falling thicker
every instant. Then came broken and
blackened stones and pumice. Vast
fragments were rolling down the
mountain, and the sea had suddenly
retreated. The pilot was for putting
back, but the undaunted old philoso-
pher admiral would not go back. "For-
tune he said, "favors the brave .
Everybody knows something about the
rest and how the poor old gentleman
being weakly and asthmatic was suf-
focated by sudden outburst Of flames
and sulphur fumes. In that awful
darkness, when the sudden rush OF
flames was the only light which pierre
ed the dense smoke. the fields were full
Of terrified people fleeing they knew
not whittier 1t Is true that the de-
struction was not instantaneous, and
a great number Of the inhabitants saw
cd their lives, and even took away a
good deal of their treasure, but 1t Is es-
timated that at least 100000 persons
were entombed in Pompeii, Hercula-
neum and the other cities Of the plain

Trials of an Explorer.

Anthony Fiala, the Arctic explorer.
whose party had been given up for
lost when a message came from Nor
way last summer saying that he had
been reached by the relief ship Terra
Nova, Is living quietly In Brooklyn,
content to accept the inclemency OF
a New York winter, which he admits
Is much more trying with Its heat
and rain than the good, honest cold
Of the region around the pole, where
it doesn't rain after 1t has made up
its mind to snow. The explorer,
however, does appreciate the luxuries
of civilization. A year ago he was In
sight Of starvation, his ship wrecked,
cut off from all communication with
the world, but still fighting across the
ice, through the darkness, to reach
the pole. 1t Is of these last efforts
and Of the flight to find sufficient food
to maintain life on the chance of
the relief ships finding him that FL
ala tells in the conclusion Of his
chronicle Of 1.-TWO Years in the Arc
tic' in March McClure's.
At the beginning Of the second
year, within the Arctic circle, after
the relief ship had failed to reach
the little colony alone in the great
white waste, dissatisfaction arose and
the party scattered, many remaining
In idleness at Cape Flora, to which
they had gone in the expectation OF
meeting the relief ship and sailing
home with 1t: others were constantly
in the field with dogs and sledges,
transporting provisions from cache
to cache in order that all might not
starve to death; and Fiala was at
Camp Abruzzi, preparing In the race
of all these discouragements to make
another determined effort to reach
the pole. The condition Of affairs
could scarcely be matched In any
other corner Of the globe. 1t fur
nishes a bit Of study for sociologists;
primeval instincts came to the sur
face ard many things happened of
whi,h t'ala merely hints in his mar
rative. Then after his hard winter,
he set out with two supporting par
ties and the sledges to push north
over he rough ice for the pole. Per-
haps the most dramatic scene Of the
entire story is that of the sixth day
of the advance, when Mr.. Peters, In
command Of the last supporting par
ty, in tent on the ice urged Fiala
to turn back Fiala was all for going
on, but Peters pointed out to him
not only the snail-like progress made
80 far, but that to run the risk OF
losing these sledges might mean the
death Of the men left at AbruzA and
Jackson. Fiala yielded, and led the
way back, knowing -. that he had
failed.
