MT. ETNA IS ACTIVE
ERUPTION HOURLY INCREASING,

MANY TOURISTS ARE IN DANCER
WhIte-Hot Streams of Lava Pour
Down Mountain-Stone and Ashes
Being Thrown From Crater
to Immense Height.

Naples, Italy.-Ine lava from
Mount Etna, which is again in erup-
ton, increased at an alarming rate
Thursday and is now threatening the
towns of Borello, Bell 'Passe, San Leo
and the village OF Renazzi. Fresh
craters have opened, though the main
eruption is still from the center at
Volta st. Giacomo, between Castillo
and Albanelli. The eruption is hourly
becoming more violent.
The inhabitants of the threatened
towns are frantically fleeing to places
of safety and striving to save them
selves and as much of their property
as possible. The project of Catania
has taken charge of the situation.
Immense damage has already been
done to surrounding towns.
The authorities are experiencing the
greatest difficulty in preventing tour
lists from approaching the mountain.
They have warned visitors that there
is the greatest danger of lava streams
cutting off their return.
The eruption is accompanied by
terrifying rumblings and frequent
earth tremors.- There is now esti-
mated to be at least a dozen huge
cracks in the mountain, from which
white-hot streams of lava are pouring
in great volume.
Stones and asnes are being thrown
from the main crater to a great height
and are falling on an area many
miles in extent. The air is filled with
floating dust and a heavy and destruc-
tive coating of ashes has covered all
vegetation.

One Of the many auses contribu-
ting to the "panic" of 1907 was the
slump in copper due to the decline in
demand. Now the market reports
show a large gain in copper sales,
with the consumption for January 49,
600, 900 pounds in excess of production
for that month. The growing use of
copper means increased activity in
various branches of industry and
hence shows that business continues
on the up grade.
