It Fulfills an Ancient Prophecy of St Januarius. "he City ut 1'a.plea In the Throw of Feiir In Consequence of the Fnl-flllment-Hlirtor' of tbe AnHent Naples, the most picturesque of cities, of which a poet once wrote: "See Naples, and die," is in. the throes of .fear, for an ancient prophecy has romc to jjkks, gml Vesuvius is belching forth ti.-f :inl brimstone and endnng'er iuj,' tlii." low u. The prophecy in quest ioji relates to the oiotted blood of St. J- .uarius, or San icimario, preserveil in a phial in the chapel bearing- the saint's name (a part of the great cathetlral built in 127:1). l.eg-end has it that, whenever the blond of the saint shall fail to liquefy on May 1 or on September 19 then will disaster overtake- Naples. Since the fourth century after Christ the miracle has happened twice a year, but on May 1 of this year the blood re mained thick and eoag-ulated, and ter ror was aroused in the hearts of the be lievers. Scarcely had the news been spread when Vesuvius began to grumble and rour in anger, and the worst eruption rfnee the memorable and disastrous one of 1ST2 begun. Consternation reigned in Naples, not so much because of the eruption, but beeause of the por tend of the failure of the miracle. Prayers were said in all the churches, and Naples is prepared for the worst. Ihat may befall it. There are a dozen or more saints named Januarius, but the patron saint of Naples is the only one who played a. great role in the history of early 'hvis1 ianity in the kingdom of Naples. Januarius was the first bishop of Uen nento in the third century a tier Christ. Oa tbe outbreak of the anti-Christian pel seditions under Diocletian iind Max iminn he was tnken to Nola ami ar raigned before Timotheus. governor of Oiinpa.nia. This gentle official ordered that the bishop be cant into a furnace. -.T.iminrius went through the fiery or le:l unscathed. Then Timotheus had him- fed to wild beasts, but the animals refused to touch him. Then Timotheus pronounced sen tence of death by the sword upon Jan uarius and was at onee stricken blind. The future saint thereupon restored his sight, and, it-is said, converted 5.00U who saw the miracle. Tn gratitude for fliis Timotheus had Januarius put to death with a spear. The body of the rsaitit was interred in a crypt in Naples, snd his blood preserved in a phial. It is said that whenever the blood was lirought near the body it would bubble. ;nd that on the two dates mentioned ii would liquefy. It is a st range coincidence that Vesu vius should depart from its good be havior of the last 25 years, just at a moment when Naples expected some terrible happening. And yet-, it is only the expected and the predicted which lias happened expected because Vesu vius is a live crater predicted by the master of Vesuvius, Luigi Palmieri, jiome two years ago. Talmieri was one of the most re markable characters of the century, inl no history of the crater would be omplete without a lengthy reference to ralnueri, its master and watcher, lie lived at the very edge, of the crater from IHoS to the time of his death last September, 41 years of constant dan ger and watchfulness. He was born in Facchio in 1S07, and in 1S55 erected nn observatory on Vesuvius, to observe the action of the crater for the Uni versity of Naples and to warn the peo ple of impending danger. So expert did he become and so ac customed to the vagaries of the vol cano that he could predict coming eruptions or earthquakes for weeks in advance. With his electro-magnetic seismograph and his bifilar electrome ter, both invented by himself, he was able to detect vibrations in the vol cano's crust that were imperceptible to even the most sensitive nerves. With these scientific aids he managed time and u-ain to save human lives and property from threatening danger. During the great eruption of 1872 he remained at his post although the tem perature in his observatory rose to 130 degrees and though lava flowed all around, though red hot cinders and ashes filled the air. Sixty lives were lost on that- occasion, but Palmieri stuck to his duty, although half a mil lion other human beings were panic stricken and fled before the awful vio lence of Vesuvius. A few months after this eruption he cfeseenjded into the smoking1 crater, where he made measurements showing that the capacity of the volcano was 0,000,000 cubic yards and that during the eruption just passed an equal: amount of molten rock and lava had been thrown up. N. Y. Journal, Consumption Out-door life and Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with Hypophosphites have cured thousands of cases of consump tion in the early stages. They cure old, advanced cases too; out not so many, nor so prompt ly. When a case is so far , ad vanced that a cure cannot be made, even then SCOTT'S EMULSION checks the rapid ity of the disease, relieves the pains in the chest, reduces the night sweats, and makes the cough easier. In these cases it comforts and prolongs life. Don't experiment with cures that destroy the digestion. Pin your faith to the one remedy which has been THE STAN dard foR Over 20 Years.
