Rome, Dec. 29.--All Sicily and the southern extremity of Italy were de vastated by yesterday's earthquake, and the lafest meagre reports indi- cate the greatest disaster of modern times. All communication has heen destroyed throughout eastern Sicily, where the damage is the greatest and the only definite information received by the government' from Messina, by wireless from a warship in the har bor, is that that city is" almost de- stroyed. Mount Aetna appears to have been the centre of the disturbance, and that portion of island withs a radius of forty miles seems to have been completely laid in waste. I¥ is not known if the volcano is in actioi as that section of the island is com: pletely cut off from the world, even the railways in the entire eastern half of Sicily being destroyed. The shocks began at five o'clock in the morning and lasted in the outer radius of the disturbances for about thirty-two seconds. The range of the i disaster extended throughout the toe ; : | of Italy for about 150° miles towards G Naples. Following the earthquake, a tidal wave, thirty feet high, badly damaged the shipping in almost all the Sicilian ports. Palermo, near the western ena of the island, suffered scarcely at all, and it is by means of the cables through to Naples, which are still working, that most of the meagre news has been received. The city of Messina is reported t« be almost completely destroyed, the greatest part of the destruction hav ing been caused by a' vast wave which following the earthquake, en- gulfing half of the éity. The'loss of life there is said to total 10,000, but if the extent of the gdgmage is confirm- ed, it is feared this estimate will be far below the truth. Fro and Gan- zinini, suburbs of Massina, are report- ed to be razed and also Caltanissetta, one of the most prosperous cities; in Sicily having 20,000 population. The Calabrian towns of Palmi, Reggio, Scilla and Bagnara, are also reported to have been destroyed completely, being now merely masses of ruins Numerous villages scattered over a wide expanse of - territory are also damaged or destroyed. The estimates of the number of victims vary widely. One late report says 20,000 persons have perished. Great preparations for relief are being hurriedly undertaken by the government, At Gatania the docks and shore front were overwhelmed' by a tidal wave that rolled in from the sea. Much damage was done to tHe ship- ping. Several steamers were damaged. At Catania the shocks lasted for twenty seconds. At Agosta, in the province of Syra- cuse, two chtirches and several houses were demolished, but no lives were lost. The prisoners in the loé¢al jail made their escape and dashed through the praying crowds on the streets for liberty. The latest reports from Calabria say that three dead and sixty. wound- ed persons have been removed from the ruins of Stefanio. Soldiers have pounds, a good cook, a willing work- er, and one who is not always trou- bled with headaches; a pon-extrava- gant dresser; one who does net read pt, rv novels; one not very popular, for Mr. Cronan believes popular wo- men are lazy home women.

Near the skeleton were found teeth of the ancestors "of the rhinoceros and other bones which proved that the man whose skeleton lay there lived in the geologic period when the mammoth roamed the at The bones of the human skeleton are bent in a way that proves conclusive ly, M.
