ETNA STILL ACTIVE

Angry Crater Throws Out Volumes OF
White Smoke and Hot Lava.

Catania, Sicily.-Etna still is angry.
From the top of the old crater volumes
of white smoke are issuing, while from
the new craters that have formed lava
is issuing and large incandescent
masses are exploding with loud detoh-
atoms and emissions of black smoke.
From Catania and along the railway
surrounding Etna thousands of per-
sons are watching the volcano, follow
ing with telescopes the progress of the
eruption.
The streams of lava already have
surpassed in volume those of the erup-
ton of 1892, but, changing their
courses just as they reached Belpaso,
they have invaded the main roads
near the village, which thereby es-
capped destruction. The people are
still fearful, but soldiers are encamped
in the squares to avert panic, while
the mayor and parish priests are hero
ically administering to the needy.

MARRIAGE.

A game of chance in which the

leads at first, but after leaving the
altar he usually follows breathlessly
in his wife's trail. The rules are very
confusing. If masked player holds
you up some night at the end OF a
long gun, it is called robbery" and
entities you to telephone the police;
but il your wife holds you up for
much larger amount the next morn
ing at the end of a long hug, it is
termed diplomacy" and counts in her
favor. In this, as in other games OF
life, wives are usually allowed more
privileges than other outlaws.-Judge.
