late day. who are shocked--nay, even
humiliated-by the models" for present
day styles.
1t seems about this way:
A tall, slender, aesthetic looking young
priest was strolling along with the crowd

So far removed was he from the passing
throng. however. and all mere earthly
things that he alone of all the passers-
by seemed never to mind the blistering
rays of the heavy sun or murmur at
the sweltering heat that was almost pros
trating the rest.
Suddenly
His attention was arrested by show
window on one of the popular thorough
fares.
He stopped.
He looked in.
He gazed at it intently, just as most
people might gaze at a monkey cage.
A detached sort of interest, animated

EARTHQUAKE AND ERUPTION
DESTROY SEVERAL VILLAGES
Territory Near Mount Etns Devas'
tsted, 40 Being Killed and at
Least $50 Injured.

Catania, Sicily.-One hundred and
forty people killed and $50 injured
was the result of an earthquake Fri
day night which destroyed several
villages near Mount Etna.
The affected zone extends from
Zaffarana, the highest village on
Mount Etna, to the sea between AGA
Reale on the south and Giarre on the
north. It includes Linera, the center
of the disturbance, Pisano and Santa
Venerina. In Linera alone 10 per
sons were killed and 800 injured. In
the village of Bongiardo, thirteen
dead and twenty-seven injured have
been taken from the ruins. At Cosen-
tint sixteen were killed and many in
jured. These villages and many
smaller places were practically lev
eled.
Automobiles which made the txip
through the devastated region were
often forced to make a long detour,
owing to the deep assures across the
road.
The district presented a spectacle
Of d%esolation, ruin and death. Peas
ants rushed to meet the automobiles,
imploring aid. Others asked that
their injured relatives be transported
to Catania, as all train service has
been abandoned. owing to the collapse
Of bridges, broken tracks and OBJ
structed tunnels.
For centuries this region has suf-
fered from earthquakes. owing to the
activity Of Mount Etna. Yet it is
relatively thickly populated. as the
land is most fertile. vineyards grow
ing with little attention.
