VILLAGE IN PATH
OF LAVA STREAM
Flow Changes Course and
Now Threatens NicOlOSi.

Catania, March 25.-The lava stream
advancing toward Borelli had reached
within two miles of the town when il
suddenly changed its direction and flowed
around the Hill san Leo. II is now de-
soendlng in the direction of Nieolosi. the
inhabitants Of which thought themselves
safe. They held a Thanksgiving service
this morning. but are now terror-strieiSen.
Their only hope Is that the progress of
the fiery stream will be impeded by
Monti Rossi. but the lava at present IS
heading straight for Nicolosi. 1t is
causing immense damage. II has oblit-
Grated every trace OF five large, prosper
Gus farms
The inhabitants Of BorelH ascribe their
deliveranCe To the miraculous tnterven-
ton of the images OF the towns patron
saint which were freely scattered over
the fields and placed in the lava's path.
A sudden change in the direction OF the
stream occurred in the same locality
where the eruption Of 1s22 stopped. near
a rustic shrine, consisting Of three altars.
on which images OF the Madonna and
saints are painted The coincidence is
miraculous.
The crater at Volta san Girolamo is
stu the most active of any of the others.
Besides the continual emission of lava,
it is discharging so-called bombs, which
are hurled high into the air, exploding
with loud reports, resembling a heavy
bombardment
Nicolosi is packed with tourists. mainly
British and Americans, who have iocked
to witness the eruption. Thous% nds OF
soldiers are employed to keep the tour
lists back from places Of danger The
attitude OF the visitors contrasts strange
~ with that Of the inhabitants. whose
abject terror and anguish are heart-rend-
ing. Their prayers for protection are in
with curses against the lava.
while the sightseers are filed with ad-
of the mighty display of the
forces Of nature.
Prof Ricco, Of the Mount Aetna OBJ
servatory, came near meeting with a
disaster to-day. He was exam
ming eruptive vents. and became so alb
sorbed in his investigation that he got
too close to one of the openings and
was caught in a sort of whirlpool of
laDiln and ashes. He escaped with
