THE VESSIMI TERROR.
In prehistoric days Vesuvius was
probably twice as high, the top having
been blown off centuries before the
eruption that destroyed Pompeii. Since
the year 1631 Vesuvius has never been
wholly at rest. In that year 18,000 lives
were lost. The clouds of steam that
came from the rush of water into the
hot mass oelow the surface condensed
and fell in a boiling rain that scorched
everything with which it came in con­
tact. The very sea drew back the skirts
of its dark blue robe and then swept
forward again far beyond its old limits.
The last of the great convulsions be­
fore the recent one occurred in 1872.
Then, like this oue, there was a great
lava flow, together with throwing up of
burning rock and the fall of ashes upon
the surrounding country.
Vesuvius is one of a group of similar
mountains in the Mediterranean Sea.
Its comrades being /Etna, Stromboll
and Vultano, which last gave the name
to all mountains of this kind. That, in
turn, was called after Vulcan, the god
who made the armor for the fighting
deities of the ancient world and forged
the very thunderbolts of Jove himself.
His workshop was under Mount zEtna.
There the Inhabitants of the hillsides
heard him shaping great masses of
iron with his terrible hammer stroke
while the nameless slaves of the forge,
dimly imagined creatures of that old
day, blew the gigantic bellows and held
great bars in place, while the master
worked. The Greeks with even their
learning, did not inquire into the scien­
tific reasons for the mighty utterings
of the mountain; they knew what the
awful roar of those volcanic mountains
meant. And our wise men, with their
figures and books, know little of what
is going on in the fiery caverns under
the earth’s thin crust.
Nature Boon heals her scars. Al
ready, we are told in dispatches, spots
of green have appeared on the black­
ened sides of Mount Pelee, and it will
not be very long before the olive and
the vine and the clustering villages
will find their way back again to the
slopes of Vesuvius.
Destroyed by an Earthquake
On the morning of December 8, 1812,
all without warning, came a great catas­
trophe. While the church was crowded
with kneeling worshipers a shock of
earthquake visited the valley and top­
pled the great stone tower over upon
the roof, crashing through which it
buried the congregation beneath the
wreckage of beams, tiles and stones,
and upward of forty human beings
lost their lives in the twinkling of an
eye. This earthquake ranks in sever­
ity with that of Charleston, in 1886.
So great was the disaster that, although
