THE ERUPTION OF ETNA.
THE DANGER PAST. United Press Association —Copyright ' ROME, March 27. The lava, stream from Etna is diminishing in speed, and is now four metres (about 52ft) an hour. The danger is now past. AN IMPRESSIVE^SPECTACLE. The eruption of Mount 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. The lieat is so fierce that it is impossible to approach within forty yards. Detonations take place at intervals like gun fire. Last night’s reassuring reports of diminished activity continue, though the volume of lava near San Leo lias increased, and caused great damage to property.
