vesuvlus Becoming a Dead Volcano.

Vesuvius Becoming a Dead Volcano.
Professor Matteucci, director of the
royal observatory, succeeded in reach
ing the crater of Vesuvius. He de-
scribes the spectacle as one of great
grandeur. The diameter of the era
ter, which before the eruption was
about 100 feet, is now about 5000
feet. There is no eruption of incan-
descent stones as before the recent
outburst, but a small quantity of
ashes is being elected. Vesuvius
seems to be assuming the character
of a dead volcano. The cone of the
crater, which before the eruption rose
to a height of 6,00O feet above sea
level, has diminished about 500 feet.
Work is being vigorously pushed to
re-establish the Funicular railway to
the observatory.
