Nature of the Destruction Which Over
took City Art of the Pompellans
--The Houses and Home Life. .
Prof. G. E. Barber gavo an Illun-
trated lecture on "Recent Finds In
Pompeii" at convocation yesterday.
His first illustrations vhowed Vesuvius
in the distance, from different angles,
with little villages scuttoivc' around
Its TJase and tho city and buy of
Naples In tho foreground. Vesuvius,
he said, -wbb until recent years, 4,000
feet in height, but ofter the eruption
of 1892 about 500 fret of the crater
crumbled in. Some of tho plcturoa .
slowed the cloud of steam above tho
crater to be at leant fix miles high,
lie corrected tho general Impression
that this cloud Is smoke and fire or
that the volcano pours out ashes. Tho
column is steam and the apparent flro
1b n reflection from the heat below.
What is called asheB is morely sand.
The eruption which buried Pompeii
began at 1 p. m. on August 24, 79
A. D. Professor Barber showed a
slide of a plaster cast of the body of
a boy found there. He explained that
merely the cavltltfj aro found where
these bodies were and that the .casts
are made by ppuring In plaster of
Paris. ' They were buried In floods of
mud, the result of a heavy rain when
the air was thick with dust.
The people of Pompeii were an art
loving people and their whole life was
permeated with art. This Is more
remarkable when It Ib copsldered that
Pompeii waB-only a provincial city
of from twenty to thirty thousand
people,
Professor Barber .then took up Pom
pelian houses, Illustrating his points
with pictures of lately excavatod
homes. The houses were very plain
on the outside and built right up to
the streets.. The- shops, offices, and
public parts of houses were in the
front and .outside portions of the
houBo. The private apartments of tho
owner's famll ywere In the center
surrounding an open court. Around
this were open pdrtlcos supported by
columns and In It were flowers, foun
tains, statues and other objects of
art. Inside the houses there are
paintings on th,e walls and costly
mosaics.
Professor Barber then Bhowedmany
collections of kitchen -utensils aud
other useful objects made of bronzo
and In artistic designs, showing how
deeply art was Instilled in them; also
very beautiful bronze and goW gob
lets, rings, ear-drops, and4 Innumerable
other articles for decorative purposes.
