4 COSTA RlCAN VOLCANO.
Pen Picture of Poas and Its Danger
Gus Surroundings.

ON the island Of Costa Rico IL 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 mOtiOnless 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 a vestige OF
plant creation; not bird wings its way
through the air, the surface OF the pool
Is without 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 huge column
Of a dark cOlored liquid is thrown to
vast height from a spot near the center
Of the lake. The column ordinarily
rises 10 a height varying from 80 to
800 feet. Almost instantly a vast cloud
Of vapOr is evolved which surrounds the
column and rises To an immense height.
thousand feet below the lip is the
lake or pool, along the shores of which
II is necessary to move about with care
because Of numerous concealed holes
filled with a Shiny substance, consist
ing mainly Of sulphate Of lime with a
large excess Of sulphuric acid. This
hardens in a few moments when ex-
posed to the air, and consequently
the pits are covered with slight shells
that render il almost impossible to dis
tingush between them and solid
ground. If a foot goes through this
thin crust il will be found that in a
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 yapOr and ii
is impossible to see for any distance.
Among other gases. sulphur dioxide is
present in considerable quantities, and
at times the smell becomes almost un-
bearable.
At close range the water is grayish
i'm color, and it is so acid that it almost
burns the tongue when tasted. Any
dark cloth mOistcncd with the liquid in
stantly becomes red and Is ultimately
destroyed. The temperature at the
shore, while varying considerably,
ranges around 10 degrees +. During
one OF the greatest eruptlons known
tremendous column Of dark liquid rose
to an estimated height Of 1000 feet and
was about 300 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
waters. Chicago News.
