phenomenon Of the boiling up Of the
blood Of st. Januarius, in It's re-

cathedral. occurred this forenoon,
with all Naples churchbells ringing
and the people shouting with Joy.
The occurrence. for which science
has provided in the past no explana-
ton, came at 9:43 a. m. while a ire
mendous throng filled the cathedral
chanting prayers for the supposed
miracle. The phenomenon occurs
generally at stated periods. When 1t

vius is coming or that an earthquake

Its naturalization today vas taken
as an omen that shocks such as oc-

that of Aug. IA will be spared to the
city for a considerable time.
From early morning the cathedral
was filled with an anxious throng
waiting for the clergy to bring out
the reliquary with its two phials, the
larger, shaped like q flagon four
inches high and about two and q
quarter in diameter. supposedly con-
tanning the blood of Januarius, bishop
Of B%eneventum. who suffered mar

rests within a second or inner phial,
and presumably is but little affected
by outside temperatures. The bottle is
firmly sealed. For more than 400
years liquefaction Of this substance
