of 1874 at Irazu-at the opposite ends of
the line that is to be traversed by the
canal--were violently felt throughout
almost the entire extent of the land,
from Nicaragua to Costa Rica in the
one instance, and from Costa Rica to
Nicaragua in the other. 1t has some
times been assumed that the activity of
Irazu ceased with the violent eruption
of 1926; but the official documents cited
/ by Professor Pittier show that the vol
cano was unusually active in May, 1922,
and again on May is, 1S47. A very
+ light eruption also took place in the
latter part Of 1888.
The facts that / have here presented
are not of a kind that ought immedi-
ately to be passed over. They Justify
cereful consideration-nay, more than
that they should be very closely
weighed and calculated especially
when an alternative of construction is
presented in a region, whatever else
may be it's deficiencies, that is practi-
cally free from the particular menace
which Nicaragua presents. 1t stands
to reason that a canal in whose con-
struetion one hundred and four million
dollars, and perhaps the better part of
double this amount, are go be expended,
even if destroyed but once in a centu-
ny, becomes an expensive undertaking,
and 1t may, perhaps, be properly ques-
toned whether, if the canal had been
constructed hundred years ago, along
the site that is now contemplated, it
would longer be in existence to-day,
The draining of Lake Rotomohana and
the destruction of the famous "pinl1'
and white" terraces of New Zealand
through the catastrophe eruption of
Tarawera in June, 1886, point to a les
son which might easily have applica-
ton in the lake region of Nicaragua.
