Italy, where many hundreds Of lives
were lost.
In the year 1887 the city Of Catania.
in Sicily. at the foot Of Mount Etna,
felt the hand OF destruction that since
has smitten her again and again. The
entire town was laid in ruins. and it
was estimated that $1,000 persons were.
buried beneath the wreckage Of their
homes.
This time there was only an interval
Of fifty years before the next blow.
This time it fell upon Calabria. where
more lives to the square mile have
been sacrificed to the earthquake god
than any other region even of Italy
Most of the loss OF life on this Occa-
sion was due to tidal wave from the
Adriatic, which overwhelmed one en-.
tire city beneath it, drowning nearly
10000 people.
On Dec. $. 1856, just as the people
OF Naples were stirring abroad in the
morning. the ground beneath their feet
was suddenly shaken like the waves

earthquakes resulted.
Calabria once more was the scene
Of disaster In 1885. when on April %
} practically the entire city of Cosenza
was wiped out. But with the advance
OF modern civilization had come safer
building and the spread of preca utions.
so that the disaster cost barely thou

the same year the town OF Castigiione
| was laid waste the loss Of life was
measured in tens instead of thousands
But all had not been learned of the
earthquakes violence. and fifteen years
later. on the 14th of August. 1851. all
southern Italy was once more over
turned before the earthquake. In dura-
| ton and intensity the shocks surpassed
those of the great earthquake of 1888.
and $4,000 people persisted in the ruins
of their homes.
Calabria again on Dec. Is, 1856, was
| smitten. Montemurro this time was
the center of destruction. but all the
countryside was laid waste and 10000
people killed. 1t was estimated imme-
diately after this disaster that between
the years 1888 and 1857 the kingdom
of Naples. with total POPULATE of
6OOO,OOO. lost 111,OOO or more lives
from earthquakes alone, an average of
1900 year
From 1856 however. until the end Of
the nineteenth century the shocks.
though frequent enough to serve as
warnings. as rule did not result in
great loss Of life
But in 1883, on the 2Sth day of July.
Casamicciola shared the fate of Cata-
MIA and Messina.
Slight shocks from time to time, but
none the less severe enough to cost
Italy some scores OF lives, were record.
ed in nearly every year Of the last de
| cade Of the nineteenth century and the
! first decade of the twentieth. until on
I the 2Sth of December. 1908. Sicily and
Calabria received their latest and in
! some respects most terrible blow
This earthquake came almost with.
out warning at $40 Of winter morn
ing. with the result that upward Of
10000 people in Messina and the als
joining towns on both sides of the
strait were crushed to death beneath
their falling houses close upon 1OO. 600

and more than million In all were
left homeless. :.$S

of the sea- the -chronicler says, the
buildings fell. and after another shock
the sea rose into the streets. submerg
ing half the city, so that 10000 persons
persisted there.
The people of Naples took no warn,
ing. however. and their city was re-
built again when. on the Both Of July
1926 the catastrophe was repeated on
still larger scale. The entire coun.
tryside was laid waste. no less than
thirty towns and villages being wiped
out of existence. and at least 10000
lives paid the cost This. incidentally.

Calabria Smitten Again.
Twelve years later. on March q.
1858, Calabria was smitten again On
this occasion the disaster was so wide
spread that not a single historian, so
far as known. makes any real attempt
to estimate the loss Of life. but it is
known to have run up in the thou

curean. who lived from 95 to So B. G.
His account Of the quake. however
concerns itself entirely with the dis

such details as the number of dead and

Aquila was laid waste by earthquake
and fire, and 5000 lives were lost, more.
than half the estimated population of
the town. Il
In close succession after the destruc-
ton of Aquila came the earthquake Of
the Abruzzi on the Sd Of November,
17O6. with the toll Of $4,000 lives; the.
almost complete ruin of Palermo. at a
cost of 5000 killed. on the LIST Of Sep.
TENDER, 1726, and another visitation
upon Naples in 1882, when 1000 were
swallowed up in the ruins.
Then for fifty years Italy had peace,
but in 1888 Messina was visited by ruin
almost as complete as found her more
than 100 years later, and many thou
sands were found dead.
This particular earthquake has spe-
cial interest because it was one Of the
first great historic earthquakes to be
the subject Of careful scientific inves-
tigation and study. Up to this time. it
is estimated. more than 100000 Ital
ians had met death as result Of earth
quakes. but the science of earthquakes
and the question of avoiding their de
structive effects had advanced. to ali
practical intents and purposes. not one
step from the days Of Aristotle.
Scientific Men Busy.
The ruined city of Messina. however,
was visited soon after the quake in
1888 by a commission appointed by the
king Of Naples. Careful observat tons
and measurements were made of the
assures. and typographical changes
made by the quake and other valua BILE
data regarding the nature. time and
attending phenomena of the entire oc-
currence were carefully noted down
and preserved. Several other noted
