Through Sunny Italy and
Its Ancient Cities.

Gigantic CLOUDS of smoke, ashes. and
cinders, rivers of molten lava and
streams of mud which buried the town
Of Herculaneum, Pompeii, Naples. Tore

case during the disastrous eruptions Of
Vesuvius OF 70 A. D., and the recent
disturbances Of that mountain Of fire.
In 1900 and 1900 were the scenes .graphi-
caly depicted in motion pictures as the
feature of the lecture on Italy by Bur
tor Holmes at the Columbia Theater
last night
The full horrors Of the destruction Of
Herculaneum and Pompeii, perhaps the
hrst catastrophe of ancient times which
is important IN the histories" and then
the terrible results of the eruptions Of
Nesuvius in the past decade are truly
realized by the pictures Mr.. Holmes
himself took during the 1906 eruption.
The caprices and fiendlike fantasies in
which the molten streams and rains Of
ashes and cinders INDUCED were shown
in the destruction of a whole town and
the manner in which another. not TWEEN
" miles away, escaped Unscathed only
by shifting of the winds
The pictures of the mud buried town
Of San Sebastiano which lava, ashes,
ana clnQerS ignored and which, IL was
thought. had miraculously escaped. were
eloquent in their portrayal of the
strange freaks of nature which occurred.
II will b remembered that the people
of San Sebastiano had returned 10 their
homes or to be driven out by streams
Of mud, which flowed into the streets
and buried the dwellings up to the sec
ond-story windows, six days after the
mountain had been silenced. and all
danger was thought to- have passed.
From the terribles wastes and ruins
Of the depopulated towns Mr. Holmes
led the way to tie beautiful in Sunny

plenty of the beautiful as Is needless to
say at Naples, the cliffs of Sorrento,
the ancient city Of the Sybarites. and

checked little Chinese maids, their
almond eyes very wide, their bangs

their black braids, laced with scarlet
silk, hanging down their backs, stood
demurely before Justice Wyatt in chill

which left little sympathy in those who
heard, for the two elderly celestial
merchants who reported their "chil-
dren" missing to the police on last
Wednesday night. For both little
girls swore that they had been held
against their will as household slaves,
harshly treated. and forced to work
long hours. They were accompanied
by an agent OF the children's society,
who had found them on the day follow

two made sworn statements which
were read in court. One said:
