HERO OF vESUVIUS

Brave Director Of the Royal observa-

Saved Naples from
Panic.

The world is just awakening to the
fact that Matteucci, the man who
braved Vesuvius in her most violent
moods and kept Naples informed and
prevented wild panic in the city, is the
hero of the hour. During all those aw-
ful days when the volcano was vomit-
ing forth its rivers of lava and its
great clouds of ashes, Prof. Matteucci
remained at his post in the observatory
on the top of the mount, and when it
is realized that the present eruption
is the most violent outbreak since that
Of A. d. 70, when Pompeii and Hercu-
laneum were destroyed, we can begin
to understand the real sublimity of his
heroism.
He has stayed there, in the ruins of
the observatory, early wrecked by the
hot ashes thrown from the crater OF
the volcano. His friends implored him
to save himself, but he believed that
during this terrible time, If at any
time at all. his duty demanded that he
remain-that he could be of real help
to the many thousands OF people liv-
Ing near the volcano by warning them

ETHEREAL BODY VISIBLE.
Semi-Transparent Mass Surrounding

Rontgen Rays.

They say they have seen the ether

claimed to have seen 1t with a higher
vision and the occidentals are now
seeing it by the aid of instruments
In being able to see the skeleton Of a
live person by Rontgen rays we have
gone far to surrounding difficulties in
making out the shadow of the eth.
ereal body. A hazy, semi-transparent
mass surrounds the bones in a skia-

when the situation was such that even
In Naples there was a veritable panic,
when the people believed that the city
was about to be blotted out, when the
prisoners in the jail mutinied, and the
poorer classes, declaring that the au-
thorities were to blame for the loss of
many lives, were in the mood for any
excess, 1t was the messages from Mat
teucci that furnished the one note of
hope. 1t is, indeed, more than proba-
BILE that they turned the scale at the
critical moment and averted a terrible
outbreak on the part of the population.
The knowledge that this man, in the
midst of peril far greater, indescriba-
bly, greater than that of any inhabi-
tant of Naples, remained cool and full
Of faith that conditions were about to
grow brighter, must surely have served
to calm the fears of thousands.
Six years ago the scientific world
was startled by reading that an OBJ
server had camped for three days on
the edge of the crater of Vesuvius
while the volcano was in violent erup-
ton. At that time the boiling lava
was within 260 feet of the top OF the
crater, enormous blocks of stone were
thrown out, and great quantities of the
scoriae. The observer who camped on
the edge of the crater was Prof. Mat.
teucci, who had then been director OF
the royal observatory for four years.
The details later received regarding
the proceedings of the professor only
served to increase the general wonder
at his intrepidity. It was related how
on one occasion, when he was camping
not on the edge of the crater, but OF
the mountain side some distance be-
low, the volcano threw up block oil
stone of extraordinary size. 1t rose IL
the air and came down within a few
yards Of Matteucci.
What was Matteucci doing In the
meanwhile? Running away as fast an
his legs could carry him? No. He was
standing with stop-watch In his
hand, carefully counting the seconds
during which the great mass of stone
remained In the air. It was up II Sec

computations, Matteucci was able tc

A man who could do this could do
