SLEEPING IN TENTS
(Australian Press .wsnclatlon.)
ROME, May 13. Intermittent earthquakes at Bologna have paralysed business in the city. The people have deserted their homes and are sleeping in tents, which they have pitched in fields and parks, or on mattresses spread in the open air.
The city has the appearance of a picturesque bivouac. ■
Bologna, the capital of the province of Emilia, has a population of about 250,000. It lies on the direct road from the principal plains of Tuscany, to the populous region in northeastern Italy, it is enclosed by a brick wall entered by 12 gates, and is supplied with water by an aqueduct constructed by Augustus and restored by Zannoni. .
