CRATER CRACKED BY SNOW
Rumbllngs Of Vesuvius Not Sign Of
Eruption, According to Famous
Expert.

Heavy snow which this year GOV.
cred Vesuvius has caused considerable
cracks around the crater of the vol
cano and serious collapses Of earth
and rocks into the interior, accom-
panied BY heavy rumblings The loud.
est Of these roars, however, was caus-
ed by great mass of basalt, which.
after having remained isolated for
some time on the top Of the crater,
rolled not down the crater, but down
the mountain outside, its dark outline
showing up against the bed of snow.
Professor Mercalli, director of the
Vesuvius Observatory, and his assis-
tant, Professor Malladra, succeeded in
reaching the top of the abyss and the
latter descended by ropes into that
crater, which became extinct after the
eruption Of 1906, and fond it filed with
snow. Of which only the upper strata
was beginning to melt under the in
fluence Of the sirocco, Willie those be-
meath showed no sign of dissolving.
This proves" explained Professor
Mercalli, that the zone Of fire must
be at considerable distance from the
bottom of this crater, INSTRUCTED by
the voluminous basaltic matter which
fell during the last eruption, when the
cone formed in 1879 subsidized. This is
sufficient to disprove any alarmist re-
ports. spread especially abroad. to the
effect that Vesuvius Is giving signs of
serious activity.
"Of course, a return to activity 10

the sides of the funnel.like opening will

probably this process will take from
