Uncle Rays Corner .

Italy has one of the worlds great
natural wonders. 1t is a volcano
which has been alive for 1866
years and which is known as Mount
Vesuvius.
Much of the time in that period
Vesuvius has done no more than
Smoke" sending out dust and
steam. Yet there have been violent
outbreaks, one of them during the
present year.
The first important eruption in
the present century took place in
1906. Great flames rose from the
crater and explosions tore holes in
the side of the mountain. From the
holes poured lava. Part of the rim
of the crater was blown away and
ashes fell like snow around the
countryside. The roof of store In
Naples, 10 miles distant, was crushed
In by the weight of ashes which
fell on it.
That was a bad eruption, but 1t
did not cause nearly such loss of
life as when Vesuvius first wrote
its name in history, in the year 49,
After a sleep" which may have
lasted thousands of years, the vol
cano burst forth in 10 and caused
a rain of ashes which buried Pom
peii, city with 10000 inhabitants
Many of the people saved them
selves by running away, by riding
IN carriages or by going to the shore
OF the Bay of Naples and taking
boats, but something like 1000 9TH
ers died amid the ashes.
Another city, Herculaneum, was
hurled by the hot mud which flowed

same time Pompeii was smothered
with ashes.
From that time on Vesuvius was
danger spot. Ashes rose high in
the air in 472 and winds carried
them hundreds of miles eastward
People in Constantinople reported
that some of the ashes dropped in
their city.
Forty years later, after another
eruption. ashes were carried south
ward across the Mediterranean Sea
Some of them fell on Tripoli.
In later centuries Vesuvius gave
proof time and again that it was
still alive. One of the worst ex-
plosions took place in 1893. A river
of lava poured from the volcano
and went rolling down the side. At
certain places the lava river was
40 feet thick. 1t travelled miles to
the sea in 6 hours, but the people
In the town of Tore del Gree had
time to get out Of the way before
their homes were destroyed.
The eruption which took place
last spring was not so bad as that
of 1893, but it was bad enough
Pebbles and cinders were hurled
several miles and a lava river swept
across two villages, San Sebastiano
and Massa di Somma.
That part of Italy was under con-
troll of Allied armies during the
eruption and prompt action saved
the lives of many Italians. About
7 800 persons were ordered to leave
the towns named before the lava
reached them. Allied soldiers at
Casino saw the lava stream from a
distance of about go miles. I

deft novel. It's whole cast is
made up of Negroes ana its plot is
concerned with their relations to
one another, not to white people.
The author is only % years old and
he wrote the book, we are told, two
years ago, when he was still in COL
lege. He is now a lieutenant in the
Navy and fought throughout the in
vasion Of Sicily.
His story tells how a young Negro
of honorable character opposes the
boss and racketeer of his local ois-
trict. He is no crusader. He is Just
trying to live his life. But the boss,
a bully, threaten to make life i'm
