Curious Lighthouse Of the Republic OF

Curious Lighthouse OF tne nePuo"S "
San Salvador.
The republic Of San Salvador, on the
Pacific side Of Central America, Is the
only government on earth that collects
lighthouse fees on account Of a vol
cano that it owns.
The volcanic beacon is about eight
miles inland from the port Of AcaJutla
and It's pillar Of cloud by day and Its
FIRE sky night are visible for many
miles out at sea. It erupts every seven
minutes and is Just as accurate as any
revolving light that warns mariners In
any part Of the world. This volcano
has been keeping up this seven min
ute series Of eruptions ever since any
one can remember. 1t Is a favorite
amusement Of visiting gringoes to SIT
by the hour during the lazy afternoons
and. watch In hand, time the erupuons
until they tire Of the amusement and
fail asleep. -
Every vessel that puts In at Aca-
iutla-and It is quite an important por'
Of call along that part Of the coast
has to pay its lighthouse fee. There Is
no other lighthouse than the volcano
but that Is a sufficient excuse for the
government OF Salvador to make q
charge for It's services. The explosions
that accompany the eruptIons sound
like detonations Of heavy charges oil
dynamite, but are not sufficient to
shake the ground perceptbly more
than a mile or two from the summit oi
the crater. At night there is spurt Of
fire, a mufiled report and a cloud Of
