resembling, in the distance, serpents
with glistening yellow and black
scales, are coursing in al, directions,
amid rumblings, detonations and earth
tremblings, while a pail OF sulphurous
smokes that hover over all makes
breathing difficult.
Artillery carts have been sent 10

Aostas, Cardinal Joseph Frisco and
all the authorities, despite the rain,
went to the portion OF the mountain

comfort the people.
The Duke Of Aosta was especially
active. He explained the means he
thought best to save the lives and
property and had the engineers and
soldiers erect parapets and dig trench

several members Of the government
also are there.
A telegram received from the mayor
Of San Scbastiano, a villa~" near the

 This young man, who six years ago was poor miner, offered to pay the Government debt of Mexico some time ago, but the offer was declined. lie is going to see President Diaz ana renew the ofEef.
 He says he got his vast wealth from the earth which is a part of Mexico. and he proposes that his poor coun- men shall share his good fortune.
 His plan is not to give cash. but to provide homes and land for the poor and equip them so they can earn their living at trades or on plantations. He promises to make 10000 Mexicans in- dependent, to educate as many poor children and to give away a few nfll- lions every year. Already for several years he has been a liberal giver to the poor and has built churches and school houses.
 TO erect monuments, establish H. braries and endow great universities is tn but help the rich and their chill d:eEA' he thinks. "but It neither feeds the J~dy, clothes the naked nor saves the fouls of the deserving poor. I propose to give away much of my wealth before I die, for none of it I can take with mo. and only a fool would horde wealth while half the world starves."

He was accidentally killed a short time after while hunting sheep, and the secret died with him. Some think this find was the same as Breyfog1e's.
