WHERE THE CRUST IS WEAK.
Portions of the Earth in Danger Of
Volcanic Eruptions.
From Pearson's Magazine.

From Pearson's Magazine.
From north to south mountains flank
the whole of the western coasts Of
America and from Alaska, where more
than one active volcano is to be found,
to Cape Horn the lines of weakness are
clearly marked. One runs through the
Cascade mountains down the Sierra
Nevadas into Lower California: another
from the Rocky mountains through
Central America and down the entire
coast of the south continent, along the
Andes West of the Rocky mountains
is a vast extent of country, larger than
France and Great Britain combined,
consisting of bare, basalt plain, caused
by lava flows from fissure eruptions.
East of the Rocky mountains is the
far-famed Yellowstone Park district,
lying mainly in Wyoming and partly in
Montana and Idaho, whose hot springs
and geysers show that the temperature
here is still intense at no great dis
tance below the surface. 1t was in 1872
that these extraordinary geysers and
boiling springs became the property OF
the people.
Among the most noted volcanoes on
the American continent are Jorullo.
Popocatapeti, CotopaXi. the highest vol
cano in the world, and COnsequina,
whose tremendous explosion in 1858
closely resembled that of the first erup-
ton of Nesuvius, and of Krakatoa in
1883. In all America possesses nearly
100 volcanoes.
In the Atlantic ocean very few islands
are to be found but they are nearly all
volcanic in origin.
Disconnected with any line of weak
ness, about the equator. are the Sand
wich, or Hawaiian Islands, the last
spot to he visited in our tour of the
worlds volcanoes.
These islands are nothing but group
of huge volcanic cones, but for three-
quarters of a century all the eruptions
which have taken place have been nom
explosive. The active craters are in
Hawaii, with the soft, musical native
names of Kilauea, Hualalai and Loa.
while there are two other cones, one of
them, Kea by name, rising 1896 feet.
Both Kea and Loa are reckoned to be
twice the bulk of Etna.
