VeSuvfus Tuning UP.
LONDON. Jan. 13.-Scientists to-
day connected the volcanic eruption
in japan causing great loss of life
with the threatened renewal of ac-
cano which has been quiescent for
more than eight years. Frederick
Birmingham who recently went down
into the crater OF Vesuvius for the
purpose OF obtaining 8 kinema clor
/ film, in a letter in today's LEMON
Times says that vesuvius undoubted-
ly is on the verge Of another out
break. Biologists long have agreed
that there is connection in the earth's
interior between the volcanoes of the
eastern and western hemispheres and
the subtsrranean activity in Japan Is
taken as corroboration that Vesuvius
is getting ready for an eruption.
Late last summer the main con-
duit of vesuvius which was closed as
the result of the activity of 14OS when
two hundred persons were killed, SD
denly opened up and the entire floor
Of the crater fell in.
Up to that time vesuyius was mac
tive Today smoke was coming out
of the new opening, as 1t has been
doing for several months. Explosions

activity is not daily in force.

Several thousand men, women and

dispatches today from Hitoyoshi, and

the bay was enveloped In masses of
flames. Its three villages were en-
tirely wiped out, and 1t is believed that
most Of its 5000 people persisted.
The city Of Kogshima on the main

VICTORIA, B. c.. Jan. 13.-Several
hundred natives on the western part
OF the island of Ambryn OF the New
Hebrides group were overwhelmed
by the flow OF lava and perisheG when
six new craters belched out In active
eruption, according to officers OF the
Canadian Australian liner Makura
which arrived here today.
The steamer France took off 500
natives before two fresh eruptions
drove boats out of the danger zone.
The crew of the France reported that
Mount Minnie, one of the active vol

Denotstions were so terrific, Cap
