POmpeii.

Here is a question for those who like
to occupy their minds with ethical
speculation:
Pompeii is n Of the priceless posses
sions Of mankind. The destruction Of
every town around Vesuvius, apart from
any loss Of human life, would be re-
garded throughout the civilized world
as a disaster inoomparably less serious
than the obliteration Of Pompeii as it
exists to-day.
Suppose q stream OF lava which would
otherwise overwhelm the remains of
Pompeii and bury them forever, could
be averted by the involuntary sacrifice
Of a single life-let us say that Of an
obscure, MORALLY diseased. disreputable,
worthless person inhabiting Tore dell
Annunziata; and suppose the question
as to whether the lava should swallow
up Pompeii or this single individual
was to be decided by secret ballot Of all
the educated Christians on earth.
Would the majority Of the educated
Christians of the world, each voting
honestly his preference and knowing
that the character of his vote would
never be disclosed, decree the destruo-
ton Of what is left Of Pompeii OIL the
extinction of this one worthless life in
Tore dell Annunziata?

THE CONE OF THE VOLCANO.

II the report proves TO be true that the
crater cone browning Vesuvius has been
blown of, the fact will not DO surprising
During the most violent eruptions Of some
volcanoes the whole tops Of mountains have
been blown away. Most Of the e%ruptions
Of Vesuvius are Of a much milder type than
those which have torn mountains 10 pieces,
as at Krakatoa, but, even 80, the top Of
Vesuvius has time and again been greatly
changed. As lie Conte shows, the sides OF
the crater nave sometimes been melted or
have fallen in, and most Of this debris has
finally been thrown out on the slopes,
greatly charging the crater, within which
q new CON Of eruption has been formed.
Thus cone has been reared within cone,
and no volcano shows the history OF such
volcanic forms better than Vesuvius.
Sorope's diagram Of Vesuvius In 1850 shows
four Of these cones. one within the other.
For ages the active zone Of VesuVius has
been surrounded by q rampant, very high
on one side, where 1t Ia called Monte Somma,
and II 10 traoeable In some degree nearly all
around. This is nothing else than the re-
mains Of q great crater Of Vesuvius, miles
In diameter, within which the subsequent
cones Of eruption were formed. The vol
CAM activity has gone OF destroying these
cones within cones and rebuilding them.
The present phase Of the process, IL the
report is accurate, Is the destruction In
whole or in part Of the active COM through
which in recent years the volcanic elections
have found outlet.
