Towering 10,800 feet, it spreads •ver an area one-fourth as large as Delaware. On its broad flanks it Could accommodate Vesuvius «»nd Other well known active volcanoes. Etna is capped by a distinct terminal cone with a crater several him. dred feet deep and a mile in circumference. From many holes in the crater, sulphurous vapors rise Continuously, and balls of lava sre •hot skyward in times of activity. . The danger to the densely populated areas on Etna's slopes, however, lies in great fractures through the mountain on north-to-eouth east-to-west lines.

Among the earliest of English spectacles were the Jousts, or tournaments, in which knights on horsebeck tilted lances. Tennis in some form descended on England from France not later then the 14th century, when Chaucer wrote, "But cans tow pleyen raket to and fro?" Henry VIII was a tennis enthusiast and installed courts on the grounds of Whitehall palace. He also set up a bowling green, but like his "predecessors forbade bowling because its popularity was thought to interfere with more important archery. Prom the reign of Edward I to that of Queen Elizabeth, all English lads were required by law to practice with hows and arrows. The first football fame in England took place in 1710, hut football play dates back at least six centuries. A writer in 1SS1 criticized the sport as nothing but beastly fury and extreme violence.
