GRAPHIC PICTURE OF THE
DESTRUCTION OF TWO CITIES
BY THE 1881 ERUPTION

thur II. Norway devotes a long chap
ter to Vesuvius. He estimates thai
10000 persons have their homes on
the slopes of the mountain, "A fact in
eXplicable to those who do not know
from experience how small the loss
of life may be in the greatest erup
ton"
There have been but two great
eruptions. if loss of life may be tax
en- as the measure, since the volcano s
history became a matter of written
record-that of August "a, 70, when
Pompeii and Herculaneum were de.
stroyed. and that of December, 1881,
When Bosco Teale and Tore del An.
nunziath were destroyed. as they have
been again overwhelmed in the erup-
ton of 1906. The following account
of the disaster of 1851 is quoted from
Mr. Norway's comprehensive and val.
nahle volumes:

A constitutional amendment calling
for the election of United States SEN
ators by direct vote has passed the
house again. The same result can be
reached without constitutional
amendment by voting at the party
primaries for candidate for the SEN
ate, as they do in Arkansas and other
southern states, or by having a can
didate endorsed by the state conven-
ton of the party. Common sense and
party loyalty should do away with
most of the deals and dickers and bar
gains which have often disgraced leg
islatures in the selection of their SEN
ators.
