Inside A Volcano The recent eruption of Mont ;Etna caused alarm in nearby Sicilian villages but experts said that there was no danger to villages on the lower slopes The eruption, though ViQlent caused no deaths, It was just one more in the series of more than 260 which have been re= corded since 475 B,C. The most serious occurred it' 1669, destroying Catina, about twelve miles away. In 1928 a vil- lage on the slopes was destroyed, Vesuvius, too, has been show- ing signs of awakening again, "We expect the volcano to erupt, probably on a major scale, before the end of this year," says Professor Eduard Vittozzi, seismologist at the Ve- suvius Observatory, "Vesuvius has been quiet too long. Past experience shows that to be a bad sign. The volcano is now working in eruptive cycles of between fourteen and seventeen years — and nearly sixteen years have passed since the last eruption." Mount Vesuvius rises to two peaks just over 4,000 ft. high. New cracks have appeared near the edge of the n o w extinct lower crater from which Pom- peii was overwhelmed in A.D 79, Recent observers gazing down in awe in the other 300 ft. deep crater of the volcano have found the air heavy with the smell of sulphur. They have plainly heard the dull roar of molten lava far below. When Princess Margaret visit- ed Italy, some years ago, Press photographers asked her to go up on to the roof of her hotel to pose for pictures, hatless, with Vesuvius as a backgrund. Smilingly the Princess con- consented. But she noticed that the volcano, which dominates Naples and the lovely bay, was without the familiar plume of smoke usually shown in, photo- graphs. She asked why. She was told that since its eruption in 1944, Vesuvius had stopped emitting smoke. The volcano was sleeping. "Like a great brooding mon- ster Vesuvius lies beneath the sunny blue skies of Italy," wrote a tourist who saw it in erup- tion, "Nothing can ever be done by man to stop its awful activity and there is no security for those who live in its shadow." Now listen to this description of the grand scale eruption of Vesuvius on April 6th, 1906, when violent earthquake shocks and terrific explosions in the crater began at 8 a.m.: "The whole of the mountain was humming and vibrating like a gigantic boiler under a colos- sal head Ls' steam; lightning flashes, set up by friction be- tween ash, and lava, played about the summit. "After two days of eruption, during which enormous quanti- ties of incandescent lava were hurled from the crater, th.s throat of Vesuvius appeared to be clear. Then began 'the emis- sion of tremendous blasts of gas and ash. These formed a gigantic cauliflower-shaped cloud be. tween seven and eight miles high In 1924 a seaplane circled within the roaring crater of Ve- suvius for seven minutes while a photographer secured films, at the risk of his life. The pilot wore a gas mask The photographer had no mask and was unconscious when the seaplane emerged from the in- "ferno, But he had got his pic- tures, You Just Have To Look Up To Him You can hardly fail to look up to one of the' recent nesvconiers to the American film industry.

Giant Tortoises May Be Wiped Out Among the world's oldest in- habitants, tortoises watched the rise and fall of the mighty dinosaurs, and survived the hazards of countless millions of y ears, Most of the animals that shared the world with them in their early years have long since disappeared, as have many that came in much later times, Civilized man, however, seems set to succeed' where the forces of nature have failed. At his hands the giant tortoise has been reduced from a state of astonishing abundance to that of precious rarity. For the tortoise it was an un- fortunate day in .1535 when a Spanish explorer, Fray Tomas de Berlanga, discovered a group of islands in the Pacific some 700 miles west of Ecuador, for these islands were the reptiles' homes, The islands themselves, of volcanic origin, were inhos- pitable. There was little water and only cacti and parched, stunted shrubs lived on the almost bare rocky land. There was, how- ever, one, impressive feature about them. They carried enor- mous populations of gigantic tortoises. And so Berlanga named them the Galapagos Islands -- galapagos being .the Spanish word for tortoise. It was not long after this that someone discovered that the tor- toises were very good to eat. Ships sailing the Pacific took to calling at the islands to pick up some fresh meat. One six- teenth century seafarer report- ed: "They are extraordinarily large and fat, and so sweet that no pullet eats more pleasantly." In the days before refrigera- tors and cold storage these tor- toises had one great advantage, They could be kept alive in the ship's hold' for a considerable time without having to be fed, provided they were moist and cool. Hence they were a perfect HUNTING ACCOMMODATION forin of food to carry on a long voyage. Whenever fresh meat was required a few of the tor- toises could be killed. Captain Porter, who used to call at the Galapagos Islands to provision, tells us that -"in four days we had as many on board as would weigh about fourteen tons. They were piled up on the quarter-deck for a few days with an awning spread over to shield them from • the sun, which ren- ders them very restless, in order that they might have time to dis- charge the contents of their stomachs; after which they were stowed away below as you would stow any other provi- sions, and used as occasion re- quired-. 'No description of stock is so convenient for ships to take to sea as the tortoises, of these is- lands. They require no provi- sions or water for a year ' nor is any further attention to them necessary than that their shells should be preserved unbroken." During the famous voyage of the Beagle, Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands. He was tre- mendously impressed by • the "huge reptiles, surrounded by black lava, leafless shrubs and large cacti, that seemed to my fancy like some antediluvian animals," Even then, after centuries of indiscriminate collecting, the tor- toises were still numerous, and the practice of calling at the islands to collect them for food was dying out. Unfortunately, however, as one kind of exploi- tation was being abandoned, an- other was taking its place. It was discovered that the, fat from a fully grown tortoise could yield' about three- gallons of clear oil. Consequently—they were slaughtered in their thous- ands in a wave of ruthless com- mercialism. For many years American whalers made a habit of calling at the island's on their way home and picking up as many as 300 tortoises at a time. Since there were several hundred whalers operating in the South Pacific at this time, huge numbers must have been taken away over the. years. Darwin has left us a descrip- tion of the curious method used by the whaler crews- td pick out the best spechnens, "When a tortoise is caught, the man makes a slit in the skin under its tall,_ so as to see inside its body, whether the fat under the dor- sal plate is thick, If it is not, the animal is liberated, and it is said to recover from this strange operation." By the end of the last century the tortoises had been cotriplete- IY: wiped out On several of the islands, and oil the othert they Were becoming rare, Collecting, them for oil was stopped, but they had little chance.to recover and build up their numbers again, for new they faced yet a third, serious Hazard. tyJ'an had' anintenticinally introcitieed rats, Cats and clogs into every bile Of the islands — escapers froth his ships. As they flourished, so they killed Off the young tortoises and ate the eggs 'laid' by the older ones. -For the past thirty years the New York Zoological Society has been making great efforts to sate the.

INSTRUCTION Tourist Blight From Coast-To-Coast In travelling across America the national landscape is e h changed in comparison With a short decade ago, In Some eases, the eharige is for the better; in Others it is in- credibly awful. Tourist blight is t dvancing more rapidly than ourist beauty, Where will it all end? Uncontrolled ribbon develop- Client and mammoth billboards Wong the highway are only part of the problem, As an amuse, *Went park, Coney Island serves a. delightful useful purpose. But should the Coney Island atmos- phere pervade coast to coast? Ocala, Fla,, is a case in point. It is swamped and surrounded with small signs and large signs pointing the way to the promin- ent commercial tourist attraction at Silver Springs, The town looks like a living television eommercial, or perhaps the big- gest billboard on earth. Tourist blight appears in vari- ed forms. Among the poorest are the snake pits and caged bear Cttractions which are in North arolina. Stop at a roadside sou- venir stand outside the Great Smoky Mountains national park /or a close-up of a pathetic caged bear. How are these poor creatures cared for? How were they cap- tured? These' questions once -were asked briefly in the North Carolina legislature, which chose to preserve the blight and over- look the problem. Then there is the reptile "gar- den" in the area, which every- one who "loves wild creatures ahould see — not because it is good, but to observe how the animals, scraggly deer, sheep, a bear, as, well as the snakes, are cared for. More North Carolin- ians, including newspaper wri- ters and the members of the state tourist commission, should inspect it, too. Can this really be the type of attraction they would have out of state visitors pay money to see? What kind of America do homegrown vacationers really want to enjoy? Perhaps we can escape the blight in national hirks, forests, state parks and ghly endowed attractions like colonial Williamsburg. But with the rising tide of travel and lei- sure time pursuits, these will never be adequate again. There is a challenge here to private enterprise to exercise mature taste and judgment in the facil- ities itprovides the travelling public. There's also a challenge to the states and local commun- ities to safeguard their roadsides and landscape generally. Along with travel enjoyment, now is the time for proud Americans to take" a hard, criti- tat look at their countryside and help decide its future.— Michael I'rome in American Forests Ma- gazine.
