Tongues Of aame and smoke or

Frank a. Ferret, the American
volcanoio1ist for the Carnegie In-
stitutaon, Who occupies . station 1t
Mt. Vesuvius to observe fts oper-
ations, has expressed to the ALSO
ciated Press the opinion that no

that the earthquakes caused dis

This view is shared BY Senator
Caplellini, 4 leading geologist who
has been interviewed by the Mes
sagero and who says there may
have been an eruption Of gas

inc and the supposed column Of
smoke above the mountain may
have been caused by clouds Of dust
from falling earth.
! The tongue of fame, in Senator
Caplellini's opinion, may possibly
have been inflammable gas from
underground wells of oil. He said,
however, that volcanoes can appear
independently Of the structure of
the earth's crust and that the
greatest catastrophes have occur
red from the appearance of volca-
noes where nobody expected them.
