VOLCANOES IN MEXICO.


Mexico at present enjoys tho dis
ton OF having a volcano In a violent
state OF eruption. The province Of
Colima is situated on tho Pacific
coast side Of the republic. II L. ono Of
the richest agricultural regions Of
Mexico. The city bearing the same
name Is located at an altitude Of 1850
feet anu contains 80, 600 inhabitants. It
Is about sixty miles inland from the
seaport town Of Manlanillo.
Nbr,h OF the city, and about twenty
miles distant Ia the great volcano Of
Colima. 1t has been for two or three
weeks in very actiyo state OF eruption.
Ashes have been carried n distance OF
400 miles by strong winds. The flames
which burst from the crater illuminate
the country for miles around. On
Wednesday, the 10Th inst, the erup-
ton was particularly violent aud ac.
companied with several Shocks OF
earthquake. A numbcr Of houses Ia
the city Of Colma were shattered.
Even the shocks were felt 80 far distant
rs Acapulco, many miles further down
the coast. The governor OF the
province ordered the residents OF the
towns adjoining tho volcano to abandon
their homes and move further away.
The volcano consists Of two cones,
named respectively the volcano Of
SNOW, and the volcano OF fire. Tho
latter Ia causing the present alarm.
II has an altitude Of l2,6O1
feet The first dcstructiv- eruption
OF which there l. any record took place
In l6ll. A great deal Of property was
destroyed at that time. Ashes aud
scorlae were thrown out for n dis.
lance Of one hundred miles In olrcum.
ference. In i7i3 1t again belched
forth huge volumes OF fire and did
Immense damage TO the surrounding
country. Sixteen years later new
volcano broke out about one hundred
aud sixty miles east OF Colima, which
did great damage also. In 1906 an
earthquake occcrred In these regions,
which destroyed large part oftho city
Of Zipotlan and caused 1000 persons to
lose their lives. In 1878 there was
dreadful eruption, by which consider.
able life and property were lost
Nothing very serious has occurred
since, until the present outbreaks, which
promises to DO attended with much
danger.
