ETNA ERUPTION
EIGHTEEN CBATEKS ACTIVE. INHABITANTS IN A PANIC. [By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright,] ROME, Sept. J3. . The eruption of Etna Is a grander spectacle than that of 1910. Sixteen craters are belching forth fire and smoke, and two lower craters are discharging lava, which is travelling, at the rate of four hundred yards an hour, ravaging vineyards and destroying, cottages. The pine forests are burning; fiercely. Incessant earthquakes are occurring, accompanied by noises like bombs exploding. ' The inhabitants are panic-stricken, and are seeking safety on' the plains.
