In his talk ona trip to Naples and Mt. 
Vesuvius, Mr. Nevins told of his first 
visit to the ancient city in 1878 when, 
he said, the streets were dirty, houses 
- shattered, the city as a whole disagree- 
able and uncomfortable to live in, but 
on his visit 22 years later the city had 
been entirely changed, and was, no 
doubt, one of the most attractive cities 
in Europe. He could well under- 
stand now why men say “ See Naples, 
and die.” 
In speaking of Vesuvius he said the 
observatory near the foot of the moun- 
tain is always inhabited, even when 
the sizzling Java is flowing down on all 
sides of it. There is no time when 
smoke is not pouring out of the moun- 
tains. In the observatory are delicate 
instruments which register even the 
slightest disturbances 100 miles away. 
‘‘Climbing to the top of the moun- 
tain, through the cinders of lava and 
dust, reminds one of the story of the 
frog getting out of ‘the well— slide 
back two feet to every three. Itisan 
"exciting episode to go down the moun- 
Since my first trip-a_ railroad . 
tain. 
has been built to the top, and a trolley 
built from Naples to the base. In_ 
1900 I made the trip to the top ‘on 
horseback, because the train service 
was out of commission from a recent 
upheaval. We left Naples by carriage 
in the early morning, drove 16 miles 
to Pompeii, had dinner at a hotel there 
and went the rest of the distance on 
horseback. The trip up the moun- 
was slow and tedious. As we ap- 
proached the top, we found the road 
blocked by lava and cinders. 
‘The last 400 feet of the climb was 
almost perpendicular. We had to 
leave our horses. Finally we reached 
the summit. The air was full of 
smoke and sulphur fumes, and it was 
anything but a fascinating or prepos- 
sessing sight. It was certainly excit- 
ing, and we were all filled with a 
curiosity that will not be downed on 
an occasion of this kind. 
‘We had not been there more tha” 
five minutes when there came from 
that mountain a horrible sound—a 
hissing, a mumbling, a grumbling and 
a grinding that I cannot explain, and 
then a shower of black ashes, cinders. 
And next weheard a puff, puff, patter ! 
as the red hot rocks of lava fell about 
us. We didn’t know what was to hap- 
pen next, but when we saw our guides 
starting down the mountain, we made 
up our minds we had better start. On 
our way to Naples, five miles away, we 
could still feel the fine ashes sifting 
down over us. It was only after reach- 
ing Rome, several days afterward, that 
we learned Vesuvius had been in a 
terrible state of eruption.” iC
