A COSTA RICAN VOLCANO.
Pen Picture of Pons and Its Danger
Gus Surroundings.

on the island Of Costa Rico Is the re-
markablc volcano of Poas The crater
has an altitude of about $500 feet The
Traveller who makes the ascent on
reaching the lip of the crater finds him
self at the brink of vast perpendicu-
lar sided pit. at the bottom Of which
lies a moticnless pool of yellowish wa
ter. The sense of deadly stiffness and
dcsolation is undisturbed by any indi-
cation of life The almost vertical
walls are devoid of even vestige Of
plant creation. not a bird wings its way
through the air, the surface OF the pool
Is without 81 ripple, and even the hu-
man voice sounds strange and incon-
gruous. Suddenly the silence Is bro
ken by great and startling under
ground rumbling. and a huge column
OF a dark colorcd liquid is thrown to q
vast height from a spot near the center
of the lake The column ordinarily
rises to a height varying from $50 to
500 feet. Almost instantly n vast cloud
of vapor is evolved which surrounds the
column and rises to an immense height.
A thousand feet below the lip Is the
lake or pool, along the shores Of which
It IS necessary to move abOUE with care
because of numerous concealed holes
filed with n Shiny substance, consist
ing mainly Of sulphate of lime with a
large excess of sulphuric acid. This
harlcns i'm Il few moments when ex-
DoScd to the air, and consequently
the pits are covered with slight shells
that render it almost impossible to dis
tlnguish between them and solid
ground. If foot goes through this
thin crust It will be found that In q
few days the shoe will be destroyed, as
the seams cannot resist the acid action.
The lake at closer view IS discovered TO
be covered with clouds Of vapor and II
IS ;mpossible to see for any distance.
Among other gases. SUlphrS diOxide Is
present in considerable quantities, and
at times the smell becomes almost un'
bearable.
At close range the water is grayish
In color. and it is 50 acid that it almost
/ burns the tongue when tasted. Any
dark cloth moistencd with the liquid In
stantly becomes red and is ultimately
DESTROYED. The temperature at the
shore. while varying considerably
ranges around 10 degrees f. During
one of the greatest cruptions known q
| tremendous column Of dark liquid rose
to an estimated height of 1000 feet and
was about 30l feet in diameter. The
waves produced on the lake by such an
| outburst are formidable, and long after
/ the eruption has ceased the whole era
/ ter is filled with the roar OF the troubled
