AN IMPRESSIVE SPECTACLE.
Rome, jMarch 27. The eruption, of Etna is a sequel to the abortive outbreak in April 1908. The central crater is inactive. The spectacle at night is most impressive. A stream of lava several kilometres in length is first seen descending like a burning rampart, whence cascades of fire are falling Tlie heat is so fierce that it is impossible to approach within forty yards, and detonations take place at intervals like gun fire. Then rain and hail fall. Last night's reassuring reports of diminished activity continue, though the volume of lava" near San Leo has increased and causes great damage to property.
