Mount Vesuvius Ve-suvius has censod to glvo any sign of life. Tho volcano seems to have spent itself In ono enormous convulsion.

Naples Is Just beyond this clrclo, and on Friday the city was bathed In sun shlno whllo tho ugly black pall hung to tho wcsfwnrd over a belt midway botween Homo nnd Naples. |
