T ETNA Iff E
EVERY FOUR
Last Previous Serious Out
break Was In Janu
ary, 1907.
O00
T
nE latest eruption of Mount
Etna Is considered the most
grave In yours. It has been es
timated that Etna's periods of
activity occur at intervals of four or
flvo years, as a rule, and as the last
serious eruption was in January, 1907,
the volcano may be Bald to be main
taining its schedule. Although the dis
turbance of 1007 was pronounced, it
was by no means ns destructive ns the
great eruption of 1802. The most de
structive previous outbreaks on record
occurred in 11C9, 1CC0, 1003, 1702, 1870,
188G nnd 1802.
There was a mild outbreak in May,
100S, and for a time the inhabitants
along the slopes and in nearby towns
were thrown Into excitement, but Etna
subsided after covering tho country
Hide with smoke nnd ashes and was
not heard from ngain until March,
1010, when nt the height of the tour
ist season in Sicily the crater opened.
It is not the height bo much ns the tre
mendous oxtent of. the mountain tbat'j
has Impressed tourists. Its base
spreads out almost twenty-five miles,
and from thero to the summit It is
almost a perfect cone. At certain sea
sons the sides nre covered with snow
halfway down. The crater is 10,000
feet nbove sea level, ranking Etna the
loftiest volcnno In Europe and tho
highest peal: in Italy south of the
Alps.
Eruption of 1007.
On Dec. 28, 1008, at the time of tho
Messina disaster, loud detonations
were heard, nnd volumes of smoke
rolled out of the crater. A panic arose
among the people of Cntnnla, the near
est town to tho volcnno, hut Profes
sor Ulcco, director of the observntory,
said that a great eruption was not ex
pected. Ills views were confirmed by
Frank Perret, assistant director of tho
royal observatory on Mount Vesuvius,
who, after an Inspection of Mount
Etna on April SO, 1900, reported: "The
earthquake ut Messina has reduced its
activity nnd for the time being has
taken the energy necessary to create
an eruption. Reports that Mount Etna
was In eruption nre untrue,, as there
has been only a slight emission of va
pors from the crater."
It was on Jan. 9, 1907, that Mount
Etna awoke nfter a period of inactiv
ity since the eruption of 1890. Smoke,
ashes nnd flame arose from its sum
mit, which was covered with snow.
On Jan. 10. 1007, the volcano, at the
same time that the earthquake at ,
Kingston, Jamaica, occurred, became
more active. Professor Rlcco said that
the fire openings inside the crater,
discovered In 1803, had increased in
lze, but that only smoke nnd the re
flection of Ore could bo Been. Ashes
were thrown out, nnd subterranean
detonations were henrd. On May 8 of
the same year the eruption became
more violent. Tho lava flow increased.
nnd the smoke was so abundant that
the whole atmosphere as far ns Cnta
nin wns thick with It. There were
severe eartli shocks, and Professor
HIcco was apprehensive of n great
eruption.
GIVES UP PORT ARTHUR.
Japan Moves to Chinhai Bay on Korean
Coast For a Gibraltar.
Purely strntcglcnl reasons have in
duced the Japanese government to de
cide upon the nbnndonment of a naval
station at Port Arthur, in Manchuria,
representing nn investment of many
millions of dollars. This station was
built by tho Russians when they were
in control of tho Llnotung peninsula
under h nominal lease from China.
Even after it was shown to fall of that
degreo of Impregnability which wns
the expectation of its founders nnd
fell Into tho hands of tho Japanese as
an incident of the Russo-Japanese war
the victors did not hesltnto to speud
another grent sum of money upon the
defences.
Rut tho acquisition of Korea by
.Tnpnn lins mndo tho Port Arthur stn
Hon secondary In lmportnnco from n
naval point of view. It wns too far
Inland to bo of any uso in the defense
of Korea, so tho decision has been
renched to nbaudon the place as a na
val station and to transfer as much
of tho material as can bo used else
where to tho new site selected nt Chin
hai bay, on tho coast of Korea, a posi
tion that will command tho entrance
to the Yellow sea and tho great gulf
of rechlll, as well ns afford a measuro
of protection to the western coast of
Jaimn nnd tho strait of Korea.
Great docks will bo constructed at
this plucc, which will bo reserved ex
clusively for naval purposes. Tho port
will bo closed to commerce, while Port
Arthur will be released for the uso of
tho merchant marine.

Description of 1908
Eruption.
OOC
It waa n year later before the vol
cnno became active again. This time
there were earthquakes In continuous
shocks, and n new crater opened at a
height of 7,000 feet It ejected col
umns of steam and clouds of stones
and ashes. This crater became tho
source of two streams of lava, which
followed the course taken by the lava
in tho eruption of 1810 and 1852.
How Etna Spouts Fire,
Describing tho appearance of Etna
In tho eruption of 1008, a correspond
ent from Taormlna wrote:
"Nothing could have looked more
peaceful that Etna on the afternoon
of my arrival here. The sun went
down behind it out of a clear sky, Its
outlines becoming blacker and more
obscure until anally swallowed up in
darkness. From outward signs It was
tho satno sleeping beauty that it had
been since the last eruption In 1890.
In tbo morning April 20 thero was a
change. Tho peak was enveloped In
vapor, which It took only a few sec
onds to observe wns smoke, not cloud,
but even then I did not realize thnt
there wns anything unusual untll I no
ticed tho excitement of tho Italians.
"Smoko was coming from tho crater
at the summit, but by far the larger
part from the east side of the moun
tain, a considerable way down, while
now nnd then would come n rumble,
sounding like cannon far away. Later
In the forenoon the vapors from the
topmost cone ceased, and the smoke
swirled out black and menacing from
lower down, taking the shnpe of n
funnel and rolling senwnrd on tho
wings of n westerly wind.
Novel Sight.
"The sight was ns novel to natives
ns to visitors and perhaps more full
of meaning. All day long they kept
stealing away from their work and
running to the housetops or other
vantage points to watch the changing
aspects on the mountain, but they
could not tell by day whether the vol
cano was In eruption.
" 'Walt until night,' they said. 'Then
if lava is flowing out It will show red
through the darkness.'
"So Interest Increased toward dusk,
ami as tho shadows thickened word
went nround the town: 'L'Etnn fuma!
IEtna fuma!" True It wns. The giant
fountain, nfter a ten years truce with
the inhabitants of its fertile and ox-
pansive slopes, was again belching
forth lava from tho earth's inwards,
tl h t0 whnt ext(;nt or wlth what
disaster onp could only conjecture.
"From Tnormlua It appeared as
would a huge bonfire on a hill perhaps
a mile away, which glowed red and
yellow and now and then flared up as
If some one had thrown on fresh brush.
But when one considered that the
burning patch in the darkness wns not
one but almost twenty miles nway ho
realized that what he saw was a roar
ing furnace and thnt what to his eyo
seemed gentle flickers wore, in truth,
huge masses of molten lava spouted
ranny feet In the nlr, the result of tre
mendous convulsions In the depths be
low." ROOSEVELT'S HUNT.
Cost
Smithsonian $57,000 Colonel
Himself Paid $23,000.
In round numbers tho cost of tbo
Roosevelt expedition Into Africa under
the auspices of the Smithsonian insti
tution was $80,000. The expenses of
the actual hunting were divided, tbo
Smithsonian paying about three-fifths
and Colonel Roosevelt about two-fifths.
Tho division of expenses censed when
Colonel Roosevelt stnrtcd on his tour
of Egypt nnd Europe homeward bound.
Secretary Wnlcott Is tho only person
who knows who were the contributors
to tho ?57,000 Bpent by tho Institution
In defraying Its three-fifths of tho ex
penses of tho hunt. lie has assured
the board of regents that not one
penny of money appropriated by the
federal government was used and that
the money wns nil collected by him
personally from friends of tho colonel.
