In prehistoric days Vesuvius was
probably twice as high, the top having
been blown off centuries before the
eruption that destroyed Pompeii. Since
the year 1851 Vesuvius has never been
wholly at rest. In that year $4,000 lives
were lost The clouds of steam that
came from the rush of water into the
hot mass below the surface condensed
and fell in boiling rain that scorched
everything with which it came in con-
tact. The very sea drew back the skirts
of its dark blue robe and then swept
forward again far beyond its old limits.
The last of the great commissions be-
fore the recent one occurred in 1872.
Then, like this one, there was a great
lava flow, together with throwing up of
burning rock and the fall of ashes upon
the surrounding country.
Vesuvius is one of group of similar
mountains in the Mediterranean Sea,
its comrades being Etna, Stromboli
and Vultano, which last gave the name
to all mountains of this kind. That, in
turn, was called after Vulcan, the god
who made the armor for the fighting
deities of the ancient world and forged
the very thunderbolts of Jove himself.
His workshop was under Mount Htna.
There the inhabitants of the hillsides
heard him shaping great masses of
iron with his terrible hammer stroke
while the nameless slaves of the forge,
dimly imagined creatures of that old
day, blew the gigantic bellows and held
great bars in place, while the master
worked. The Greeks with even their
learning, did not inquire into the scien-
tific reasons for the mighty offerings
of the mountain; they knew what the
awful roar of those volcanic mountains
meant. And our wise men, with their
figures and books, know little Of what
is going on in the fiery caverns under
the earth's thin crust.
Nature soon heals her scars. AL
ready, we are told in dispatches, spots
of green have appeared on the black
ened sides of Mount Pelee, and it will
not be very long before the olive and
the vine and the clustering villages
will find their way back again to the
slopes of VeSuViuS.

Smoke Two-Miles High.

can enormous volume of black smoke
rises to a height of two miles above
the crater" he wrote. "Incandescent
masses of stone are thrown up 5000
feet. A continuous southeasterly wind
carries the ashes over Naples, which
is so completely envelOped in darkness
that for three days our communications
by sea have been cut off.
"Fissures have opened far below the
cone, emitting many streams OF lava,
one of which has completely destroyed
the town of BoscOtrecase, which had
10000 inhabitants. Another has reached
the outskirts of Tore del Greco. Others
have destroyed thousands of acres OF
fertile cultivated land, with farmhouses
and stock.
1.-The great cone of Vesuvius col
lapsed with awful laundering and
flames, and the cable railway, the OBJ
servatory and the large hotel near 1t
were all totally destroyed. The lava
carried vast masses of burnt stone and
sulphur on it's surface like dross on
melted lead, and nothing was visible
toward Boscotrecase but endless acres
of dark scoriae, broken here and there
by the greenish curling smoke of sui
phur.
"At one point we found a great pine
tree, torn up by its roots and turned
to black charcoal; the air was almost
unbreathable; the heat intense. The
faces of the people who crowded upon
the edge of the arrested stream ex-
pressed terror of exhaustion from re-
cent panic.

TO RENEW OLD MISSION.
San Juan Capistrano Will Live Again
After Long Years of Silence.

All who have heard of the picturesque
old Franciscan Missions of California
will be interested to learn that San
Juan Capistrano the most poetic of all
these ruined structures, which contrib
ute so much to the foreign look of "our
Italy," is soon again to be made the
centre of religious activity and that
after nearly a century of neglect its
buildings are to be restored to their
original estate.
This mission is on the railway line
between Los Angeles and San Diego,
and by reason of being visible from
the railroad is to Eastern travellers per-
haps the best known of all California
missions, except Santa Barbara and
San Gabriel, which are among the
regulation sights for visitors to South
ern California. With the restoration
of San Juan Capistrano and the re-
sumption of residence there by the
Franciscan Brotherhood, it, too, will
no doubt soon become tourist resort.
The first year of the American In
dependence saw work begun upon this
ancient edifice in what was then vast
wilderness, inhabited only by Indians.
The site is in lovely, sequestered val

The parchment fiuttered crisply

"Damaris!" Coherent speech he could
not find.

Thu VESUVIAN 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 VoIcano-fiistOry 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., rs.
The whole story of the eruption of
1906 is a sorrowful tale of stricken vic
Tins, devastated vineyards, ruined
homes and terror-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 a 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
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 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 &C
quainted with conditions as they exist
in Italy. He has taken up his per-
manent abode in the Italian hills. The

THE LOVE OF ALARIC.

Beneath the outflung branches of a
mighty oak tree, 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 big, conical lantern of
antique pattern that the elder of the
two carried in his gnarled and blood
less fingers, figure strangely akin
to the giant tree beneath which he
stood.
An aged man was Zachary boy, his
back bent by years of hard labor such
as few OF the modern generation of la
borers know; a man who had been an
experienced farmland, while the man
beside him, his master, was still a
pulling infant.
The old fellow set down his lantern
on the iron-bound earth. His quaver.

Alaric Kingscote broke in upon his
garrulity with q forced laugh.
IF Kingscote luck could fall lower
than it has, Zachary" he said bitterly,

would touch bark with axe. Now, hear
me, old friend. This tree represents

the old mans shoulder. Get you

ly. "You can do nothing here. IT'S

TO RENOVATE WICKER
CHAIRS.

To renovate a shabby wicker chair
first cleanse the wicker thoroughly, u.s.
ing a scrubbiIg brush and plenty of
soap and water. When dry, the chair
can be vanished, or it can be greatly
improved with a coating or two of
green stain.
For the seat make cushion of green
linen or a pretty greenish cretonne.
Another cushion for the back may be
liked, and is easily made. Make it of
the same material as the seat cushion
and of bag shape, longer than wide.
1t may be fastened to the chair by
means of tapes sewed at the top and
bottom.
If a loose cushion be preferred, a
pretty yellow linen would look nice
and contrast we'll with the green.
Make the case slip fashion, so that 1t
can be easily washed. An unbleached
calico bag will be good enough for the
down with which the cushions are
filled.

roughness hid an emotion almost toe
deep for any words-"Go home, and

Zachary thrust his roughened hand
across his eyes. Without another
word, a strangely pathetic, bowed old
figure, he turned and shambled of
across the field toward the stile into

cottage that had been his home fol

ley, which, beginning back in the can
yons of the coast range, winds among
grassy knobs and great treeless hills
out to the Pacific, upon which it opens,
three miles west of the mission. With
the aid of the Indians, over whom the
padres exerted both temporal and spir-
itual dominion, the Franciscans estab-
lished here the most pretentious of all
the California mission churches. In
stead of being constructed of the GUS
tomary adobe brick of the country, it
was built of stone, laid out in the form
of Latin cross, with great, clustered
quadrangle adjoining. Here, besides
administering to the spiritual welfare
of the Indians and gathering them into
the fold of the church, the fathers set
them to the care and the cultivation
OF the land, which yielded great wealth
of cattle. sheep, grain, grapes and
olives.

for twenty-five years longer, no at
tempt seems to have been made by the
padres to restore the church edifice
and it and its adjoining buildings and
cloisters have remained to this day an
imposing and beautiful ruin. Touched
gently by Times hand, dignified in out
line and rich in color, it is replete with
subjects for the artist and is the ad-
miration of every traveller. With the
restoration of the buildings the in
tention is to create here a college for
the priesthood as at Santa Barbara,
and to make of San Juan Capistrano
an important factor in the work of the
Roman Catholic Church in Southern
California.

Feeble Attempts of Man Useless.

when the stream of fire threatened
Boscotrecase soldiers dug wide ditch
across it's patch in the hope of divert
ing its course, but the molten stream
advanced like a colossal serpent OF fire,
turning it's head to the right and LEFT
as a snake does but keeping its general
direction toward the fated town. 1t
was not till it reached the first house,
sending up great showers OF sparks,
that the people finally fed for their
lives.
"I saw men. women and children, and
infants whose mothers carried them at
the breast or in their aprons. Dogs,
too. and cats were on the carts, and
sometimes even chickens, tied togeth-
er by the legs, and piles of mattresses
and pillows, all white with dust under
the lurid glare. We ourselves could
hardly breathe"
This dispatch corresponds exactly In
detail to Pliny's letters. The same
flaming mountain and shaking eartn,
the same sitting smoke and ashes, the
same terrifying darkness and the same
helpless, distracted crowd stretching
vain hands to their gods for succor.
Originally Vesuvius was in the form
of single cone. Later eruptions have
broken down the southern side OF the
original crater, leaving the northern
semi-circle, which is called Monte
Somma. A smaller central cone had
grown ND within the ancient ruin. 1t
is this inner cone that had its top
blown off. Before the recent eruption
the height of the mountain was about
1000 feet.

On the morning of December s, 1912,
all without warning, came great catas-
trophe. While the church was crowded
with kneeling worshipers a shock of
earthquake visited the valley and top
pied the great stone tower over upon
the roof, crashing through which it
buried the congregation beneath the
wreckage of beams, tiles and stones,
and upward Of forty human beings
lost their lives in the twinkling Of an
eye. This earthquake ranks in sever
ity with that of Charleston, in 1886.
So great was the disaster that, although

back. For few seconds Alaric King.
scote stood looking after him, then,
with strangely fierce gesture, the
young fellow flung off his rough tweed
coat, removed the Cardigan waistcoat
that covered the breadth of his chest,
and turned up the sleeves Of his
coarse flannel shirt.
At the foot of the oak lay the wood.
mans huge axe that was to be the in
strument of death, that was to cut
short the growth of centuries.
Alaric Kingscote swung the great
weapon aloft, and the cold starlight
ran along the shining steel. Like
some Viking warrior of old-like the
re-embodiment of one of his Saxon
forebears, Alaric brought down the
tool of destruction with a blow that
gashed deep into the corrugated skin
of the oak. The doom of the Kingscote
Oak had been proclaimed.
AS he stood braced up for the second
stroke, the bullying sinews of his fore
arm responding to the generous rise
of chest and thigh muscles, curious
sound from behind him caused him
to swing round with faint cry. Then
he lowered the axe with amazing gen.
tleness.
Another figure had appeared upon
the scene--the figure Of woman, clad
in a cloak Of fur that hid the contour
of her form
"Damaris." The word fell from the
young mans lips like caress.

life, customs and mannerisms Of the
Italian have been pictured by him in
stories which have made him famous.
In his cabled description to the New
York Times Crawford stated that the
recent eruption of Vesuvius had been
grumbling for many weeks before the
outbreak which did the incalculable
damage
