A man down in Missouri having been ar
rested for taking another mans horse
enters a plea of somnambulism. He must
have taken and ridden the horse i'm his
sleep. he says, for he awoke riding along
the road and had no recollection Of steal
ing the animal His story has at least
one point in it's favor--that he left the
horse at a livery stable to be returned to
the owner. But why has nobody thought
of the somnambulism before? The in
sanity plea is somewhat dstasteful, after
all, and there is nothing especially dis
agreeable about an admission of sleep
walking. Here's a suggestion for Stand
ard Oil and the Beef trust.

The conspicuous failure of the gov
eminent TO construct battleshlp Of
identical type as cheaply and expedi-
tiously as a private shipbuilding com
pany, although very suggestive, is not
conclusive against direct governmental
participancy In naval construction. IL
is. however, an important fact that in
an instance specially intended TO test
the comparative efficacy OF government
and contract work Of this kind. the con
tractors have been able TO build the
same battleship for nearly half a
million dollars less than the government
builders could do the work. 1t does
not matter that the failure is due i'm
large part 10 congress. because congress
has TO be reckoned with I'm any govern
ment undertaking Of the sort.
But it by no means follows that the
government should altogether hold
alOOf from battleship building and put
itself at the mercy OF private con-
tractors. The very fact that it is pre-
pared to do the work may be a power
ful restraint upon the latter 1t was
found to be notably so in the case of
armiDg warships after construction.

that I was perishing with the universe and

mist that I had spoken OF seemed to shade
on into smoke or cloud. and TO roll away.
Then came genuine daylight and the sun
shone out in lurid light. such as Il Is

had not vet recovered from the effect Of
fear, saw everything changed. everything
covered with deep ashes as II with snow.
We returned to Misenum and after re-
freshing ourselves as best we could. spent
night IN mingled anxiety and fear. Fear
was still, however, the stronger feeling; for
the trembling OF the earth continued. while
many frenzied persons with their terrific
predictions, gave an cxsggeration that was
even ludicrous TO the eNcsmations OF them
selves and their friends"
While Pliny does not give any specific
count OF Herculaneum and Pompeii. mod
ern research informs us that Herculaneum
was overwhelmed with a torrent OF liquid
mud, which issued from the volcano. and
that Pompeii was buried under showers OF
ashes and stones
There is no evidence that any lava was
emitted during this eruption. But the
abundant steam given of by the volcano
seems to have condensed into copious rain,
which. mixing with the light volcanic dust,
gave rise to torrents Of pasty mud that
flowed down the slopes and overwhelmed
houses and villages. Herculaneum is be-
lieved to have been destroyed by these
water lavas" and there is reason to sup
pose that similar material filled the cellars
and lower parts OF Pompeii.
Another great eruption of Vesuvius oc-
CURED December 16, 1851. which for six
months previous was predicted by series
of earthquakes Of greater or less violence.
Vast clouds Of dust and stones, blown out
of the crater and funnel Of the volcano,
were hurled into the air and carried for
hundreds Of miles. the finer particles fall
ing to the earth even in the Adriatic and
at Constantlnople. The clouds Of steam
condensed into copious torrents, which,
mingling with the fine ashes, produced
muddy streams that swept far and wide
over the plains reaching even. to the foot
of the Apprentices. Issuing from the TANKS
of the mountain, several streams of lava
flowed down toward the west and south
and reached the sea at twelve or thirteen
different points. Though the inhabitants
had been warned by the earlier commissions
of the mountain, so swiftly did destruction
come upon them that $1,000 people persisted
in the eruption.
After this great convulsion, which
emptied the crater, Vesuvius has never
again relapsed into a condition of total
quiesence. At intervals. varying from a
few weeks or months to a few years. Il
has broken out into eruption, sometimes
emitting only steam, dust and scorviae,
but frequently also streams of lava. The
years, 1861 1779 1884, 1922, 1929 and
1881, were marked by special activity but
with no disastrous loss Of life.
