TWO VOLCANOES ROAR,
Etna and Stromboli in Action With New
Craters Open-Sea Is Violent
" Agitated.

MESSINA, Sicily, May 11.-New era
tiers have opened in Mounts Etna and
Stromboli, whose eruptions are increas-
ing. The observatories of Nessna and
Catania continue to register earthshocks,
but they are very light.
The alarm of the population of this
island is growing, especially among the
inhabitants of the villages in the lux
uriant zone around Mount Etna, al
though the director of the Catania obser-
vatory, which is not far from the vol
canO, has assured the people that they
are in no danger. The smoke and flames
issuing from the main crater of Mount
Etna are visible for a long distance.
A portion of the main crater of Strom-
Doll has fallen III, causing a more active
eruption. 1t seems to have affected the
sea, which is most agitated near the is
land. Scientists have expressed the opin-
ion that possibly a submarine crater may
have opened and that it is causing the
aquatic disturbance.

inside piece OF paper, on which was

Tralled by Indians in New York.

Bishop Hare Of the diocese of South
Dakota, was sent West many years ago
as missionary bishop Of the Episcopal
Church He founded the mission at
the Rosebud Indian agency, and it was
his custom to give to each Indian that
he confirmed silver cross of q pecu-
liar pattern.
A few years ago lady from New
York was visiting in South Dakota, and
the bishop gave her one Of these crosses.
Some years after that there was a
general convention of the Episcopal
Church held in New York City, and
several Indians were sent as delegates,
all wearing Bishop Hare's crosses.
Arriving in New York, they were
dazed, and at a loss to know how to
find the building where the convention
was to be held But stoically they
started out upon the street. Soon after
they met a lady, whom they immedi-
ateIy began TO follow. Whenever she
turned, wherever she went they went,
too. The lady became much annoyed
and finally thoroughly frightened to
find that wherever she went a line of
red men was trailing behind her.
But investigation explained it. She
wore their cross, and they, seeing it,
had believed her one of their number.
VINO would surely go to the meeting
they wished to attend so they had
taken her for their guide
