The figures published by the Santa

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 century of neglect it's
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 LOVE OF ALARIC.

Beneath the outfung 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 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 Doy, his
back bent by years of hard labor such
as few of the modern generation of Ia
borers know; 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-
ing voice stabbed the silence. "Now,

TO RENOVATE WICKER
CHAIRS.

To renovate a shabby wicker chair
first cleanse the wicker thoroughly, u.s.
ing scrubbing brush and plenty of
soap and water. When dry, the chair
can be vanished, or it can be greatly
improved with coating or two of
green stain.
For the seat make a 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 well with the green.
Make the case slip fashion, so that it
can be easily washed. An unbleached
calico bag will be good enough for the
down with which the cushions are
filed.

was that which told her how Kingscote

Destroyed by an Earthquake

On the morning of December s, 1872,
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 1885,

yons of the coast range, winds among
grassy knolls 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 a Latin cross, with great, cloistered
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
and beautiful ruin. Touched
gently by Times hand, dignifed 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 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.

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 IS, 900 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 it's 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 a 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 Etna.
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-
tif1c reasons for the mighty utterings
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.

THE YESUVIAN 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-EiistOry 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.
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 '79, in a series of letters to
Tacitus This letter described a dark
cloud rising in 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 ac-
quainted with conditions as they exist
in Italy. He has taken up his per-

so many years. He never once looked
back. For few seconds Alaric King
scote stood looking after him, then,
with a 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 bulging 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 gen.
tleness.
Another figure had appeared upon
the scene-the figure of a woman, clad
in cloak of fur that hid the contour
of her form.

young mans lips like a caress.

outbreak which did the incalculable
damage.
