Dr, lelateoucol, prefeesOf of geology at
the University of Naples and director of
The Royal VeSuViall Observatory, Is a
conspicuous example of a devotee of
Science who has repeatedly riskiel les
life in his desire to advante knowleclget.
All throughthe recent terrible eloilli-
tione of tho roleano he has spent the
days and nights in the obseevatory far
up the western slope of the mountain,
exposed to the gravest dangers.
Matleucel has long been one of the 1050 -
£ ng writers and authorities in volean-
nine, though he is only forty-six year:
old and has scarcely readied the prime
of his scientific activity, Feeeryilang he
writes on Vesuvius is read with Inter-
est, and the common people of Hely
bave heard of Dr. Matteueel as the man
who can always be found in the observ-
atory or therealemit$ when there ie
trouble brewing at the top of the moun-
tain. He has not been absentfrom his
post of duty when there were phenom-
ena out of the common on the stage.
This courageous man of science could
ant have survived the recent 'remelt-
' dolls outbursts of the volcano if he had
attempted to repeat his achievement dur-
ing the eruptions of 1000, when the
boiling hike of lava rose in the crater
to within about 200 Met of the rim, Ile
lived at that time for three days on the
edge of the crater. It was not very
pleasant to linger in the neighborhood
of these terrific occurrences, but lho
professor held his ground and did not
depart until he had completed the ob-
servations he had in view. The wonder
is That he was not killed. On the last
day of his sojourn upon the top ,4 the
mountain a period of Intense violence
succeeded a few hours of comparative
calm. The explosions in the crater were
of great frequency and the geologist
bad the hardihood to see everything
that was going on. One extraordinary
explosion caused a rain of fragments
all around hinw Myriads of small bits
of rock and redhot fragments of scoriae
fell all around. Nobody knows how he
had the good luck to escape, for his en-
tire math of baggnge was desireyed ex-
cepting his camera. This instrument
and Its owner were all that cseapcd
without a scratch.
Few other men have lingered In tho
neighborhood of such high degrees of
heat as The lava of Vesuvius emitted
on those cluys. It seemed as though
Matteueei was sure to be overwhelmed
and destroyed by explosions in the
superheated mass of molten rock. No-
body knows how hot lava is at the mo -
tient of emission, but facts have been
ascertained that give some ceneeptina
of it. 11 was found in 1e55 that a
steam of lava which Was barely mov-
ing had a temperature of 1,220 degrees
Fahrenheit. On anether occasion the
lava stream fused silver, the melting
point of which is 1,070 degrees. Dr.
Matteucei Will have something of great
eopular interest and scientific value fo
report concerning the recent outbursts
of Vesuvius.
IIow wise we mortals were a few
bundred and a few thousand yews ago!
Two anticipations of modern scientific
theories have lately unearthed.
Heat was cleaned as a "mode of motion"
111 the "Medulla Medicinao" of J. A.
Vander Linden, a famous teacher, in
1642. The passage quoted, when trans -
bated from the Latin, rends; "Heat is a.
vibration of "Um minutest particles of
matter." The other 'anticipation is still
earlier. Varro, who died in the year 28
113.C., in his "De Be Bustin," describing
the dangers of marshy pewee, wrote :
"There breed a Met. or minute, invisible
animals tint travel through the Mr and
enter the body by way of the mai and
nostrils, causing severe. diseitees." Ex-
empt that bacteria are not animals, Ma
Vegetable, this Is a wonderful guess at
Ilia causation of germ diseases, and we
might with some philologleal juelifiens
tion translate "anbnalia," the word used
in the original, as living organisms.
