ERUPTION 0F VESUVIUS.
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,
