Blatt 15,993.75 being ao!#*day in following described •nidj Mt Vesuvius as (Prepared by the Ifatieaai Oeoeraphte Society, Waahlneton. D. C.) W HILE not the center of the re cent destructive Italian earth quake, Naples and the towns around its beautiful bay suf fered considerable damage from the tremors. And that which , harms Naples, with Its almost perfect ar rangement of .sky, sea and rooun- tains, harms one of the principal “Journey’s ends'* of the world. Any thing likely to alter this setting la of more than passing concern to thou sands of former visitors, as well*as to residents. When the Neapolitan advertises, with the sloganeer’s modesty, “See Naples and then die.” he has in mind, of course, the city and surroundings taken as a whole. The city alone, although the largest and most pop ulous In the Italian peninsula, is a hodge-podge of narrow streets and tenement houses, teeming with life and gaiety; sordid, yet possessed with a vast vitality. In buildings and monuments of historic and artistic biterest, however, Naples cannot vie with the towns of central and north ern Italy. Naples Is comparatively young among cities of the Mediterranean. In the eighth century B. C. Greek colonists from the near-by city of Kyme recognised the superior advan- Inges of Its great half-moon bay and laid the foundations for later Roman settlements. In time the district be came the favorite residence of Roman magnates. Augustus frequently re sided at Naples and Virgil completed some of his most beautiful poetry here. Before the days of a united Italy, Naples was the capital of the king dom of Naples. A large royal palace, with white marble stairways and a throne room Ailed with art treasures, bears witness to its former Imperial wealth. Today Naples is Italy’s most Important seaport, connected by fast steamship lines with every part of the globe. Its streets are lined with factories, large and small, while the surrounding farm districts are fertile «nd productive. As a tourist: center if Is surpassed, probably, only by Boris. Dirty But Picturesque. For all Its commercialism, dirt and squalor, however. Naples is extremely picturesque. Rising In amphitheater fushion on the slopes of the hills in the northeast corner of the bay of Naples the city Is full of quaint, sleep streets, where broad steps take the place of the slab paving of the downtown thoroughfares. Following the cholera epidemic in 1884 many of the narrow streets and high balconied tenement houses were replaced with broad avenues and standard build ings. It Is in the remaining canyon streets, however, that one finds the most typical Neapolitan scenes. All Naples lives outdoors—to cook, to work, to play, to gassip, and almost to dress! Street singers with their mandolins, charcoal sellers and vend ers of sweets and drinks add their colorful bits to the daily pageantry. Macaroni factories line the streets of th« eastern part of the city, the fringes of marconi on racks collecting a little of the dust every passing automobile and push cart stirs up. For whatever the city lacks in neatness and beauty, Its famous bay more than makes pmends. The bay of Naples is a yardstick of marine perfection. Few who have seen the bay of Naples will grant that It is eclipsed elsewhere for spacious and perfect loveliness. Its dreamy head lands and the incomparable contour of Vesuvius in the center at once dis tinguish and sublimate it. Fascinating to Visitors. Many lovers of Italy feel that a country like Tuscany, with its softer colorings and gentler contours. Is ■sore restful and somehow more wholesome to live with, and that the Neapolitan scenery la too much like theater curtains come to life. Never- the!ess, every person who arrives it Naples under fair skies and beholds littoral for the first time cannot being affected by Its love*taco*, my of the Vteltora feel Seen From Naples. Naples la not a noisy, nerve-racking modern city, full of beggars and rogues and fleas; It is the old “new city”—Neapolis. In the bay of Naples the very atmosphere, to such Neapolitan spe cialists, seems more bland and limpid than elsewhere on the peninsula, lend ing to the distances a more magical and haunting charm; the curving shore Is picked out and decorated with countless beauties, and high mountains descend abruptly to a tide- leas sea streaked with color. In which are set efhereal lilac-tinted islands. From the Monastery of San Mar- J>.io, overlooking Naples, a picture spectacle is spread. The great, blue, half-moon bay, dotted with red and white sails, and surrounded by a mountainous coast line, which fringes off Into the Mediterranean at each end In rocky islets, looks more like a stage curtain than a reality. It Is Vesuvius that “makes” the bay of Naples. f Lovely Colors on the Bay. From Vesuvius, with the ruins of Pompeii at its base, the eye follows the curving shore line to the moun tainous Sorrento peninsula, purple and hazy in the distance, ending with rocky crags of the Island of Capri. At sunset the colors are so rich, and at the same time so soft, it seems hardly possible that they are real. The bay Is a rippling sheet of gray and green and blue. The rocky head lands and islands are the softest and most delicate lavender. A rolling stream of purple smoke rises from the crater of Vesuvius and floats across the sky, while, In the background, billowy pink clouds catch the last rays of the blood-red sun as 'It drops Into the Mediterranean. To many observers the fairest of the Neapolitau gems Is the Island of Cqpri that lies in the blue waters just off the tip of the Sorrentine peninsula. From high in air to below the waterline the island Is scarred and pitted with myriad vast pock marks, some pillared with stalactites and stalagmites, some through which the never-quiet sea moans and sobs with the agonized wail of a hurt monster; one white, with little pools of pure, sweet water on its floor, only a few inches above the swi; one greener tiian emerald; one blue as heaven with row upon row of delicate pink corals and tiny scarlet Jelly-fish studding the waterline like Jewels, while the refraction of the sunlight tints everything with the most marvel ously diaphanous color, through which the silvery ripples of the bottom sand, about 40 feet below, seem with in arm’s length. Back on the mainland, the traveler can find beauties along this delight ful coast even south of the bay. As be drives up over the crest of the Sorrentine peninsula the Siren Islands loom In the distance, too far away for even the echo of the charmers’ song to be heard. At Positano the road divides Into two white ribbons, binding the town to the green hill side. Scenes Along the Coast. On by the caves of troglodytes, who have all the comforts of home—little patches of garden, amiable goats, olive groves, and grape-arbors—the road winds In and out, up and down the stern face of the cliffs, rising and sinking in great billowy sweeps, plunging hastily through short, black tunnels, racing around big and little bends. Now It skirts the shoulder of a cliff, with only an 18-inch wall be tween the wheels and the boulders hundreds of feet below. Picturesque watch-towers stud the shore, ancient (defenses against the Barbary corsairs. And then presently Amalfi, once the brave little maritime republic that maintained Its independ ence so long in detlance of princes and emperors. In a low cleft of the hills the houses fairly pile upon one another, as though there were not room for them all onr the hillside. Back on the mist-veiled crags loom other towns, and all day long, down the road that winds dlszlly among the peaks, come old women and young girts, staggering under heavy loads of fagots gathered la the woods mIm tha Hoods. And shea they art not carrying fagots they art always knit- tha TOTAL — $17,825.75 District No. 2—Seven Pines. Eulallia Turner Parker $110.00' District No. 9.—Hilda. C. V.
