SCIENTISTS INTO
PIT OF VESUVIUS
Perils of Volcano Braved for
the First Time by Pair of
Explorers.
MILAN, ITALY. Jun- 7—Professor
Meilada. of the rural observatory on
Mount Vesuvius. ao omplishrd an
raordtnary feat. descending into the
lepths of the crater of that volcano.
■Hnce t/>e awful eruption aix yearn ago
lUmhZrless attempts have been made
,y ./cientifle adventurers to penetrate
b*' funnel of Vesuvius, hut all in vain,
/wing partlj to the precipitous nature
/ >f the slope's interior, hut principally
/ recause of the dense and deadly vapors
>f sulphur and chloric acid gases
The actual diameter of the crater is
tbout 550 yards. Professor .Mailed.i.
iccompanted by an able young expert
lamed Varvazze, attached to the ob
servatory. started out at X o'clock In
he morning toward the Pompeii side.
;aktng a quantity of scientific Instru
ments, cameras and a epuph of stout
ropes one 350 feet and the other 500
""'ey: tn length, i'sing th" long rope for
he first part of the descent, they were
f'" owered Inside the volcano to a depth
if 380 feet till they landed upon hug"
jutting crags of lava overhanging an
other great abyss 150 feet lower down.
After exploring on this perilous slope
»f 90 degrees amid gigantic masses of
petrified lava, they found a means to
fix their second rope, whereby they
were able to reach an enormous fissure
Treated some years ago, when the vol
cano was suddenly torn asunder pre
cipitating an Immense mass of the out
er cone Into the crater, and causing the
partial wreckage of Messrs Cook's
funicular station.
The Intrepid explorers discovered that
this huge fissure extends to the very
bottom of the crater, which they finally
•cached at a depth of 1.000 feet. There
hey remained a couple of hours. Pro
fessor Mallada was able to take a
number of instantaneous pictures of
ivalanches and showers of red-hot
ashes, which were taking place at th
time in contiguous parts of the crater
Despite the precautions taken, the ex
plorers at times were almost overcome
bv suffocating fumes. They found the
temperature varying from 90 degrees
to 98 degrees Fahrenheit.
A valuable collection of minerals was
made, consisting of volcanic matter
falling off from the side walls of the
* funnel, which, on striking the bottom,
raised clouds of fine choking cinder
dust. The explorers planted a red flag
in the center of the crater floor as a
memorial of their conquest.
Th- whole expedition lasted nearly
nine hours.

ROUND-TABLE CLUB,
, WISDOM SYNDICATE,
I AGAIN IS HOMELESS
*
, . With the passing of the Etowah case
in Alabama street. Atlanta's Round Ta
bb dub once mote finds itself home
!•-.«< and a wanderer upon the fare of
an unappreciative and barbaric earth.
Time was when the Etowah case was
! Atlanta'« foremost resort of intellectu
ality and fashion. Th- time never was
I when It was not an interesting and
i engaging place to satisfy one’s gusta
tory desires, and to occasionally grati
fy mental yearnings not to be de
scribed In ordinary words.
1 Colonel Hooper Alexander, the head
of the Round Table, who revels In th-
■ glorious title, “king of the world," was
so full of grief and darkly depressing
sorrow today that he would not dis
cuss ai length the habitatless state of
the Round Table.
“Just say for tne," proposed his ma
jesty, “that the Round Table shall not
wander long. A new home shall be
found for it within the present moon.
We rex. have spoken I"
An Ancient Institution.
t'laude Smith, who .was not in so
tearful a mood as the king of the world,
o. k.’d “We. rex's" ukase, and that
mak-s It all right.
The Round Table will hold another
session soon, and things will go on
just as of yore.
The Round Table is an ancient and
honorable Atlanta Institution. It was
organized about ten years ago. in a
north side restaurant of modest preten
tions, and there it got along pretty
well until Harry Silverman opened his
gorgeous Etowah case. It had got to
be some organization then, and so it
took on a lot of frills and things, and
began to hold its meetings in Silver
man's place.
Harry Silverman was just the hoy
who was looking for that Round Table
thing I'nder bls astute chaperonage.
It grew In grace and membership, and
soon It became famous among the
highbrows of this vicinity and neigh
borhood.
Bunch of Good Fellows.
The Round Table duh Is a bunch of
good fellows, long on argumentative
proclivities, and of various shades of
thought and opinion political, religious,
professional, ordinary, and so forth
and so on
It meets when It has a meeting
place—at lunch time, anywhere from 1
to 3. and It undertakes the adjustment
of any old problem hankering for ad
justment, all the way from white houss
and international polities to lhe pros
and eons of an aldermanic squabble.
It is n<> respecter of opinion outside
Ils own sphere of activity, when it is
i on lhe job and under full steam ahead
I It stipulates that, in all arguments and
discussions, reporters and gossips in
| I variabl) are not present, w hether the)
I are i>r not.
Whatever settlements the Round Ta
ble make.s. they ar- the Round Table's
business —don’t forget that. If you ex
pect to sit at the Round Table a second
time.
When Hairy Silverman gave up the
Etowah case, on- dismal and depressing
day. the club forsook the big table Hai -
ry always reserved for its exclusive
use, and passed through a perilous and
heartbreaking period of Its career.
Finds Old Home Intact.
For a while It looked as if Harry had
stabbed It to the heart, and put it hors
de combat, so to speak. But it ililied,
and, after operating here and there
eventually it strayed back to the Eto
wah, and the new management brought
forth the old table, brushed the dust
off, set it aside sacredly and exclu
sively for the use of the club, and
there It has met, and calked, and scrap
ped, and yapped, and had its being,
until the Etowah closed its doors the
other day. And now it is adrift once
more!
The membership of the Round Table
bespeaks In language more eloquent
than words the quality of the discus
sions that have marked the varied ins
and outs of Its picturesque career

that outfit, in order to realize a meas

CHILDREN IN ALPS
'SOLO' AS SLAVES
Youngsters Go to Highest
Bidder to Work Seventeen to
Eighteen Hours a Day.
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND. June 7.
Swiss and German writers are calling
the attention of the public and the au
thorities to what is practically a slave
market where girls and boys between
the ages of eleven and fifteen years ate
“sold" in public to the highest bidders,
at Friedrichshafen, a German town on
Lake Constance.
These children, numbering 2<>o or
more, are brought about this time of
the year by their parents, who are poor
and live mostly in the Austrian Tyrol
and on the Swiss frontier. Swiss and
German farmers examine lhe "goods"
and choose the strongest and healthiest
children to work for them throughout
the summer.
The prices are arranged between the
farmers and the parents, and a contract
Is signed. The farmer agrees to give
food and lodging to the boy or girl he
engages and >5 to $lO after five to six
months' work, which is for seventeen,to
eighteen hours a day. The farmer does
not usually accept any responsibility
concerning the moral conduct of the
boy or girl who has "entered” his serv
ice, and whom he treats as a farm hand
and on the same footing as his other
employees.
This exploitation of childrent is per
mitted by the German authorities at
Friedrichshafen, probably on the
grounds that it is an ancient custom.
The town itself is en fete during the
markets, and there are processions of
the children, who seem happy; but
iheir appearance Is fai different after
five or six months' hard work of seven
teen to eighteen hours a day on the Al
pine farms in Switzerland and Ger
many.
