Rome, May 20. Vesuvius, .he burn
ing mountain which overhangs the love
ly bay of Xaple. gives no indication'
of subsiding into a peaceful and quiet
existence. The vi-itors to Naples who
have come on to Rome have interesting
experiences to relate concerning the
showers of fine ashes which have been
falling in the streets of the city and
which are comparatively unusual. These
denote the virulence of the eruption.
For a considerable time back Vesu
vius has been in an active condition,
with continuous explosions and over
flow of molten lava coming from a new
cone on the side of the mountain over
looking Pompeii. An idea of the awful
character of this lava may be formed
when one sees trees and the woodwork
of buildings burst into flame before
the lava reaches them. The heat of this
thick river of melted stone has been
usually great.
According to the reports of refugees
who have reached Rome, from the cen
tr;)l crater there rises into the air a
thick mass of smoke, shaped like an
Italian pine tree, broadening out at the
top. This black cloud of smoke which
re-ts in this form for a time on the
mountain has recalled to students here
ii similar cloud derit'd in graphic
terms bv l'linv the vnnnjrt'r to Tacitus
in his admirable account of the fir-.t
recorded eruption of Vesuvius.
According to all accounts the inhabi
tant of Naples found when they awoke
in the morning ashes falling upon their
city a phenomenon which has not oc
curred since 1872 when a great erup
tion took place.
The ashes falling thus are described
to lie very heavy. They are generally
composed of very fine, stony matter,
but are quite distinct, one grain from
another, and are generally shiny black
in color like coal ashes. Looked at
through a magnifying glass they seem
miniature pumice stone.
In some places the people have been
in great terror and they have observed
with great dread the phenomena oc
curring from time to time. During the
occasions when there have been extra
ordinary explosions of lava, and the
tiny pumice stones lapilli, as they are
called were cast up in a conical col
umn to a great height which after
wards fell down slowly as ashes. In
deed it is no wonder that the people
have been frightened, for the spectacle
is certainly anything but reassuring.
Subterranean noises have followed each
other with certain regularity and people
at Naples can hear those noises distinctly.

.plans drawn for a large new depot at
