QUAKE IS PRODUCT
OF TOWERING ETNA
Warnings of Impending Ac-
tivity Noted on Historic
Volcano of Sicily.

Earthquakes fall under two classes:
Cd Those which occur in the nelShbor-
hood of active volcanoes, and % those
which happen where there are no vol
canoes.
The present earthquake, unlike that
Of San Francisco. IS Of the former
class. Its origin is undoubtedly 70 be
sought in the great volcano, Mt. Etna,
which towers almost directly over the
devasta- ed city of Messina- There have
been warnings Of impending activity IN
Etna for at least a year past
1t is incomparably more powerful
than Vesuvius. and earthquakes around
its feet. or within its sphere of iniu-
ence. have caused greater destruction
than has occurred anywhere else in
Europe; only It has not had an I'm
mense city like Naples TO terrify. or
centers Of art and culture. like Herc,'-
Ianeum and Pompeii. to Overwhelnl.
Under Great Volcano.
Under a great volcano the conditions
are such that the everything rocks must.
from time 10 time. be shaken The
gathering of volcanic forces IS a gradual
process, and the upshot is not always
an eruption of the volcano, More fire.
quently the mastering Of energies ends
in uuakings Of the rocks, by which the
forces are dissipated before they have
been sufficiently concentrated TO drive
out the plug which always forms in a
volcanic vent after a great eruption.
Some of the dispatches from Sicily in
innate a fear that an eruption Of Etna
IS about to occur. This may happen,
but II it comes, It Is likely to come
DAYS later The earthquake indicates
that thc forces have, for the present,
expended themselves outside the noun
tain. A readjustment Of pressure has
taken place, and, as the disturbed strata
settle. more quakes are to be feared
rather than an immediate outbreak OF
the volcano. 1t is rare that a great
earthquake occurs without minor shocks
succeeding it. This is particularly true
of the volcanic type Of earthquakes
But if an eruption of the volcano fol-
lows the earthquakes generally cease.
Vesuvius ard Etna.
It has often been suggested that
Vesuvlus and Etna, being situated on
the same great line of fractures Of the
earth's crust, respond TO each other
with alternate outbreaks. If, in the
present instance, an eruption of Etna
should follow, the resemblance to the
great outburst of Vesuvius IN 1906 would
be very striking. That eruption Was
preceded by disastrous earthquakes
which ceased about the time that the
volcano was ready to cCme into play.
This disaster shows again the unsat-
isfactory state Of seiSmOlOgy, as far as
the prediction &c great disturbances is
concerned II is the confessed aim of
that science to arrive at the possibility
Of such prediction, but the cOnsumma-
ton is still far of. Preliminary tremors
can always be detected, but the Observ-
ers are unable TO tell whether the warn
ing implies n serious sequel or not.

PALERMO, Dec. SO.-Queen Helen
almost swooned from grief on arriving
at Messina today. where the scene she
encountered was far more grewsOme
than her gravest fears had led her to
expect.
Medical assistance was necessary to
revive her. and it was some time be-
fore she and King Emmanuel could
undertake the work Of directing the
relief. Both the King and Queen wept.
Scores of almost insane survivors
crowded around the King and Queen
when they arrived, and threw them
selves in the mud, screaming in horror
The Queen was terror-strickeu. and
chung to the King. Many Of the people
tried TO kiss the hands Of the King
and Queen, and prayed TO them as
though they were saints
1t was with difficulty that the King
finally controlled his emotions and set
out upon the work Of directing the
relief and rescue.
Survivors Reach Palermo.
Train loads Of Nessina survivors are
reaching this city Most of them are
fearfuIIy wounded. Many, who were
placed on the train at a point twelve

Nearly all the survivors are in a state
Of semi-stupor. They cannot talk in

The trouble is greatly aggravated
owing TO the inhabitants utter loss OF
