Vesuvius Still Hotter.

The temperature inside Mt We
suvius, which is unascertainable by
ordinary thermometrical methods, has
recently been measured in novel fash
ion by the Munich geologist, Storz.
who descended the crater of the vol
cano for the purpose.
He dropped thin wire cable with
an iron weight at the end into the
crater. Affixed to the wire were metal
cylinders made of lead, zinc and anti
mony, which melt respectively at tenn
peratures of 626, 1888 and 1856 de-
grees Fahrenheit.
Having been let down into the
mouth of the volcano, the lead melted
at depth of SO feet, the zinc at 40
feet and the anthony at 175 feet 6
inches.
A yellow smoke vent inside the
crater had a temperature of only 294
degrees in 1911, 627 degrees in 1912,
and 1872 degrees in 1918. From this
fact it is concluded that a fresh out
break of Vesuvius may be imminent

After leaving Ninez, her lover re-
turned to the bluffs. 1t was his
night for patrol duty. For long
time he sat by the side of the can
non, Mis- mind going over the blissful
hour he had spent that evening with
his fair fnamorata.
His cloak wrapped about him to
guard himself from the usual mid
night chill sweeping down the valleys,
Luis suddenly aroused, as CHANGING to-
glance across the broad stream he
saw faint blue glimmeF of blue
light
1t changed to red, to amber, back
to blue, and then three miles nearer
to the point, directly opposite the
town, there we're responding signals.
Familiar with the tactics of the out
laws Luis in an instant understood
that peril lowered.
Without disturbing or alarming any
other member of the family, he
aroused Sanchez. A grim smile
crossed the face of the smith as he
listened. His clear eye glowed with
the coherent resolve of resolute and
intelligent man as he gave his direc-
tons. Luis was to carry these out.
Mount your swift horse directed
Pietro, arouse the gunsmith and send
him to me at once. Then make tor
the ford and reach Modiva. Tell the
mayor there to rouse up the old guard
and hurry to surround Rivolla and his
crew"
But If they cross the river before
them" submitted Luis quite anxiously.
They will not cross the river" de-
clared Pietro with grim, determined
flash of his lion eyes.
At daylight over one hundred grim
visaged, determined men were gath
cred on the bluff where the historic
field piece stood. The mists slowly
lifting showed the camp of the out
laws on the opposite bank of the
river They had employed the night
in securing the shore up and down
stream for every stray raft, yawl and
rowboat they could find. A formida-
BILE flotilla, all centered in a group in
little cove, showed.
Beside the cannon stood old San
chez, in his hand an unlighted fusee.
His old companion gunner was sight
ing the field piece.
Aim low" directed Pietro. and the
fusee was lighted.
Grand old thunderer!" commented
the patriarch of the village, as boom
and flash and destruction haunted the
face of the waters.
There was confusion on the oppo-
site shore, as almost to the last YES
tige the flotilla was destroyed. And
then new excitement as Luis, with the
Modiva contingent cut off the inland
retreat of the baff1ed bandits.
Routed, prisoners or destroyed, their
evil career was summarily and per-
manently checked and the power or
Rivolla broken forever.
And in the white moonlight, how
ering near the brave old field piece
that had saved Pasta, Luis and Nlnez
renewed their plighted troth.

Luis GuareZ, the handsomest gallant
at Pasta? His stalwart arm, his 10y
al heart would spring to action in re-
spouse to any patriotic call. AS to
Rivolla, some day the gibbet. Yet she
Secalled the dark, perfidious face Of
the cruel outlaw with shudder.
For the family of Pietro had known
Rivolla in the past. Two years be-
fore he had lived at Pasta for a time.
He had appeared as sutton for
Ninez. Sternly old Sanchez had or
dered him away from the threshold,
learning of his cruel and cowardly
past. And Ninez had felt relieved
when the fierce visaged bandit had
departed from the village.
Then there had come a missive for
the little Mexican maid. 1t was from
the renegade Rivolla, now devastating
"a peaceful district, driving off cattle,
burning peaceful homes, plotting out
the lives of worthy patriots in cold,
murderous riot and hate.
Have a care!" the words of the
message ran. Il have sworn to make
you mine, and Rivolla never fails in
his purpose"
1t was of this that Ninez and Luis
were speaking one moonlit night.
They had strolled along the bluff,
where the clear cool air was like
balm. The river flowed by, a spark
ling sheet of silvery sheen. The air
was heavy with perfume of flowers.
The pair had seated themselves on a
bench that ran beside the old field
piece.
Another month, milo Ninez,
spoke the young man feryently, land
you will be mine. Then adios! to all
your needless fears of this terrible
Rivolla"
You do not know his treacherous
nature" fiuttered Ninez, shrinking
closer to her manly escort as though
from a sense of protection. my IA
Their tells me he has broken loose
again with his wicked horde. They
have ravaged one province. They
have sent a demand to the governor
of Mitali demanding large bride
money. else they will visit his people
next He has refused. When they
march thither, my father says a
slight detour from the trail would
bring them near to Pasta. 1t is like
Rivolla's evil nature to make raid
upon this peaceful town out of sheer
revenge"
"Rivolla is a braggart and cow
ardi" declared Luis. 1T was in the
last campaign that he threatened our
little army so direfully, only to run
and hide when we advanced upon his
stronghold"
Ninez smiled and forgot her fears
as they strolled homewards. Luis
was so brave, so proud of his clear
family name and of herself! He did
not tell Ninez as he babe her good
might, but he knew there was some
foundation for her words.
Others as well were in the secret,
but were not spreading it to alarm the
quiet town.
Thus, it was 6nown to many of the
old guard that Riyolla was once again
on a raid. II his band was of any
numerical strength he might invade

One night an Irishman passing the
box of an elevated station in New
York failed to convince the negro
ticket chopper that he had deposited
his ticket. There was an active dis
cussion which resulted in the ticket
chopper throwing the Irishman down
the elevated stairs. He therefore
fought suit, and his lawyer, by the
exercise of considerable ingenuity. Sc
cured a jury entirely composed OF
Irishmen. 1t looked like a certainty,
but the lawyer did not know the Irish.
