minimizing the losses and horrors of

Mexico, with all the splendors of
an old civilization behind it, and

SUMMIT OF MOUNT BAKER.
A Freak Among Freaks 10 the orses
TableIand.


TablsIand.
There is no evidence Of recent ac-
tivity of this volcano, nor are there
any alarming indications that it will
ever be active again, says Forest
and Stream. True, there are live
vents on the sides of the cone where
the vapors and sulphur are contin-
ually emitted, where the lava is still
hot and steam jets issue with rum
bling and violence, but the SHOWS
of recurring seasons have blanketed
it for centuries, as if to smother out
the internal fires, and it can hardly
be considered now more than the
lingering Of heat which once warm
ed the surrounding regions to
Auorescence, the base of the noun
tain to bright red, and where it Is
now buried under mantle of per-
petual snow it's summit once shone
with luminous glare whittier than
the electric arc. But the freak
among freaks in this interesting
region is the lakeland already re-
ferred to.
It rose in its magnifcence and
grandeur from the bowels Of the
earth as did Mount Baker, of which
it is simply part and parcel. It
probably rose to its present emf
nence above its surroundings and
especially out Of its immediate bed
Of porphyry somewhat later after it
had cooled enough to hold its shape
by renewed pressure directly under
it, showing it up like cork out Of a
bottle.
The writer was strongly inclined
to take the plug clear out and look
inside to see exactly what was the
cause of it. There is much evidence
that the secondary uplift came at .
much later day than the volcanic
eruption or eruptions which pro-
duced the hain features Of this dis
trict, the most important of these
evidences being the fact that the
disintegration about the vertical
walls Of this tableland is very much
less than about the sides Of any 9TH
Ter cliffs around, irrespective Of
height, position or material to be
eroded.
The walls Of it are crumbling
away and accumulating about the
base in rock slides, somewhat faster
on the sunny sides. If it were pos
sible to count the annual layers Of
rock on these slides, which have
faxed off the walls above by the ac-
ton Of the summer sun and frosts
Of winter, like the age of trees by
the rings Of growth, it would be
easy to determine when Mazama
dome last made move to rival
Coleman peak or get in better view
OF the parent cone.
