THE LOVE OF ALARIC.

Beneath the outflung branches of a
mighty oak tree, a giant who had
stood sentinel in that lonely dip on
the wolds for twice three hundred
years, two men were standing. their
figures made more or less distinct by
the rays Of a big, conical lantern of
antique pattern that the elder of the
two carried in his grarled and blood.

THB VESUYIAN TERROR,
Vivid Description of Great Erup-
ton Which Rivals Pom
peii'S Destruction.
The Famous Italian Novelist, Marion
Crawford, Tells of the Terrors of
the Big Volcano-tiistory of For
mer Eruptions.

The whole world looked on, awe
struck, at the recent fierce outbreak of
stupendous and devastating force in
the Bay of Naples. The eruption Of
Mount Vesuvius is believed to be the
most destructive since the days of Pom
peii, A. D., 70.
The whole story of the eruption of
1906 is sorrowful tale of stricken vic
tins, devastated vineyards, ruined
homes and terror r-stricken, flying peo-
pie. and it is hard to realize that the
same scenes have been enacted there SO
many times before
Pliny, the noted ancient historian,
described the eruption of Vesuvius in
the year 70, in series of letters to
Tacitus. This letter described a dark
cloud rising in a single pillar from the
crater of the mountain and from this
a column spread, and upon it rested
a great roof, built by invisible carpen-
ters. Resting ever on its single pillar,
like a great mushroom, this roof shut
out the sky from all those wide acres
extending sixteen miles away. The
light ashes of the fire from Vesuvius
descended like snow upon Pompeii.
burying it to great depths. Hercu-
laneum was drowned in a sea of vol
canic mud.
Those who have read the letters of
Pliny find similarity in the description
written by the noted novelist Marion
Crawford. There is probably no other
American living who is so well ac-
quainted with conditions as they exist
in Italy He has taken up his per-
manent abode in the Italian hills. The

OF the success If jackson county
farmer in irrigation by pumping
plant the Medford Tribune has the
following:
-. g. Gore is completing a plant
that will enable him to utilize the
waters of Bear creek in irrigating his
orchard two miles south Of town.
He has installed four inch Byron
jackson centrifugal pump that draws
water with a six inch suction. and
discharges six inches Of water to a
height of 26 feet This empties into
q hume and gives sufficient fall to
ensure rapid flow of water making
it pos hble to put the water on the
land very quickly. The hume has a
2xs bottom and 1xl0 side giving an
SxS fiume. THIS furnishes a head of
water of 400 inches per minute, sufi-
cient quantity to cover the entire Or
chard. The original plan provided
for the use of the pipe but being un-
able to obtain the necessary piping
the tlume is used rs q temporary ex-
pedient. Mr. Gore has an excellent
setting of both apples and pears and
expects the moisture to bring the
fruit to high state of development.
The cost of the plant is in the neigh
borhood of 800 and power is fur
nished by gasoline engine.
