PARTY OF SCIENTISTS MAKE
PERlLouS ASCENT IN MEXICO.
Several Are Scorched by Burning
Lava-Twelve Reach Rim of Cra-
ter After Being Nearly Over
come by Deadly Gases.

Guadalajara, Mexico. Thoroughly
exhausted, their hands, feet and legs
burned by contact with red-hot rocks
and lava and suffering as the result
of having inhaled sulphurous gases for
several hours, IL delegates to the in
ternational geological congress have
returned here after an ascent of the
Colima Volcano, the only continuous
ly active volcano in North America.
The party Includes w. Harvey Weed,
of Washing on, d. G. The Washing
ton man reached the crater of the
volcano, $4,000 feet above the level of
the sea.
In the last 100 years not more than
six men have succeeded in reaching
Colima's crater. On account of the
precipitous character of the mountain
and the thick covering of sand and
ashes the ascent of Colima is regard
ed as one of the most dangerous in
the world, The deadly gases that
Issue from the crater and the posi-
bility of a violent eruption at any
time make the ascent doubly perilous.
The last man to attempt to reach
the crater was DR.. Peter H. Goldsmith,
of Harvard university. He failed, and
announced that it was practically i'm
possible to get as far as the crater.
Thirty-five biologists started to
make the ascent of the volcano. At
a cost of $1,000 the state government
built a house especially for their ac-
commodation at the foot of the noun
tain. The entire So climbed as far
as the end of the timber line, and
there % lost courage and turned back.
The remaining IL struggled for six
hours to reach the crater, Long poles
were used to determine footholds, as
great pits of sand and ashes, each of
them capable of ingulfing dozens of
men, exist along Colimas sides. The

Anyway. 1t was blowing some, and
the seas did come aboard. There was
one particularly tall, gray-headed fell
low that got over the side and kicked
up old Nick. This sea hit the box of
one of the pythons, and the box turned
over. The weight of the python did
the rest, and before any one knew just
what had happened there was some 20
feet of snake at liberty.
Now, the python didn't seem to
know just what to do under the cir
cumstances There were other waves
coming along, and, while perhaps he
did not have hydrophobia, he was
averse to wetting The nearest place
of safety seemed to be the tigers
cage, and the python made for that.
OF course, there were members of
the crew who could have told him,
but the crew was busy doing other
things just at that time. There are
always things a well ordered crew
may find to do when there is 20 feet,
more or less, of snake crawling about
the decks and the seas are rolling
aboard mountain high.
But the royal Bengal didn't like the
interloper. and as the python's head
came through the bars he swatted Il.
The python came to in a minute or
so, and started for the tiger. The
tiger kept his port and starboard for
ward paws as busy as Joe Cans, and
it wasn't long before the python was
out, Then the tiger pulled him into
the cage and made his dinner on
about six and a half feet of the snake.

Mr.. Harvey is the son of Barnard
Harvey and grandson of the deceased
Frederick Harvey. the millionaire
owner of all the eating houses on
the Santa Fe line. The family is
well known throughout the United
States.
At the time of Mr.. Harveys death,
as the family still term his entomb-
ment, he had contracted a severe cold,
which developed into pneumonia. His
already tubercular system was not
strong enough to throw off the addi-
tional trouble, and physicians pro-
! nounced him dead. Death from poi
soned gas arising from the lungs was
| given as the cause.
Although all respiration had ceased,
his aiflanced wife, Miss Godfrey,
would have 1t that he was not dead.
