TO RENEW OLD MISSION.
San Juan Capistrano VIII 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. 1t, too, will
no doubt soon become a tourist resort.
The first year of the American In
dependence saw work begun upon this
ancient edifice in what was then vast
inhabited only by Indians.

THE LOVE OF ALARIC.

Beneath the outnung 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 a 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

In prehistoric days Vesuvius was
probably twice as high. the top having
been blown of centuries before the
eruption that destroyed Pompeii. Since
the year 1881 Vesuvius has never been
wholly at rest. In that year Is, 600 lives
were lost. The clouds Of steam that
came from the rush of water into the
hot mass below the surface condensed
and fsll in boiling rain that scorched
everything with which il 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 great
lava flow, together with throwing up of
burning rock and the fall of ashes upon
the surrounding country.
Vesuvius is one of a group of similar
mountains in the Mediterranean Sea,
its comrades being Atna, 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. |

learning, did not inquire into the scien-

of the mountain; they knew what the
awful roar of those volcanic mountains
meant. And our wise men, with their

with a strangely fierce gesture. the
young fellow flung of his rough tweed
coat, removed the Cardigan waistcoat
that covered the breadth Of his chest,

coarse flannel shirt
At the foot Of the oak lay the wood

strument of death, that was to cut
short the growth of centuries.
Alarie 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, a curious
sound from behind him caused him
TO swing round with faint cry. Then |
he lowered the axe with amazing gem

THE OLD WELL IN THE COURTYARD.

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
and beautiful ruin. Touched
gently by Times hand, dignified in out
line and rich in color, 1t is replete with
subjects for the artist and is the adj
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.

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., 49,
The whole story of the eruption of
1906 is 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
Tacitue This letter described a dark
cloud rising in 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-
tiers. Resting ever on its single pillar,
like a great mushroom, this roof shut
out the sky from all these wide acres
extending sixteen miles away. The
light ashes of the fire from Vesuvius
descended like snow upon Pompeii,
burying 1t 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-

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

Smoke Two-Miles High.

"An enormous volume of black smoke
rises to a height Of two miles above
the crater" he wrote. "Incandescent

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.
nFissures have opened far below the

one of which has completely destroyed
the town Of Boscotrecase, which had
