Crawford Jiros. Volcanoes and Earthquakes. The destruction of St. Pierre, Martinique, recalls to the mind of almost every individual Buiwer's peerless story of tho "Last Days of Pompeii." The mental contrast, or comparison, is involuntary so firmly has this masterpiece in English writing fastened itself upon tho minds of thoie who have read it an impression of the dreadful horror of the event which buried the Neapolitan cities of Tlerculaneun and Pompeis, that la) basking in the general warmth of the Italian sun and fanned by the gentle brec;; >r that from ages immemorial hav-t wafted from the Mediterranean, at the foot of the ever restless V umvius. But this impu . .?f tho surpassing horror j of the destruction ol Pompeii! must be credit^ 1 to the genius I of Bnlwer and to that alone, for! there have been within ic j fill; m deri times aiesmic disturbance: that have brought j about 'loath and destruction thai , almost ai. far overshadow the dc- j structum of Pompeii as the dark-' hops of midnight does the passing! cloud shadow The disaster at Martinique during fho current1 month was a far greater calamity, j The estimates of the number who . perished vary greatly but are: generally placed in excess of 20,-1 000.

This volcano had previously risen to a height of 2700 feet above the Strait of Sunda. Now there is a depth of more than 1000 feet of water where it stood.
