Stromboll in Eruption. lava from former eruptions on each side of the crater slope down to the sea. and in case- of eruption lead the lava torrent to the sea. preventing It from spreading over the Island. Thtae natural protections render the island habitable and almost Immune from the effects of eruptions The soil is purely volcanic and com posed of basalt, lava, scoriae. Upfll! and ashes. The Island Is very fertile and covered with vegetation, notwlth standing the scarcity of water. The vapors emitted from the volcano are naturally condensed and converted Into water which runs Into a spring known as the Schlcclqla.' Stromboll is In conUnual activity and has been so from time Immemo rial, so much so that to the ancients this volcano served the purpose of a natural lighthouse In the navlga lion between Sicily and Magna Gracia and the Campania. Daring the middle ages the Island was used as a penal settlement where convicts were sent Instead of being executed. A The volcano has been studied mill gently since 1889 and a' record has been kept of the different phases ol Its activity. Generally eruptions hap pen In the following manner: The volcano begins to show Its activity by loud detonations and expto slons. Subsequently a sound like that of steam escaping from a boiler Is heard and the crater Is covered with smoke Lately the explosions accom panylng eruptions have been very Intense, and resemble the fliing of heavy artillery.. Although'tbs volcano Is continually active It has periods of repose and the longer these are the more In tense la the scUvity that follows them: still the called paroxysms of More dangerous than the eruptions are the earthquakes, but these, fortunatetly, are very rare.

"Just do something to the windows sod you'll be all right," advised sa older architect. “It is the windows more than anything else that give a house s character of Its own. Take a Hip around New York and make a study of the houses that bit you square In thfe eye the minute you look at them, and you'41 find In sins cases out of tea that It Is soma original features about the windows that gives tbs place it* note of die i."—K.
