has recently brought them together in

observatory.
This volcano is in the southeast part
of Luzon, 200 miles from Manila. 1t is
one of the most symmetrical mountains
in the world, rising in regular conical
form to height of S,274 feet above the
sea. The view of the immense mass is
very imposing, for it's surroundings are
comparatively low and fiat There are
no secondary cones on it's flanks and all
the lavas that form it seem to have
been poured from the solitary chimney
at its top. The fluid elects that built
1t up was spread quite evenly over its
sides and its base now has circuit of
about so miles.
When Jagor and Won Drasche, with
great difficulty, reached the summit in
1876 they could find no trace of crater,
properly so-called. For many years
before 1897 the volcano had elected very
little lava in its frequent eruptions, but
had covered the surrounding districts
far and wide with quantities of ashes

trophe Father COronas briefly reviews
