Japan's Troublesome Volcano

Sakurajima is one Of the volcanoes
created, according TO the old Japanese
calendar. In single night. A specific
date-718 A. D.-has even been assign
ed for the event, but it is quite EVIL
dent from Its appearance that the cone
is really very ancient one. Sakura-
jima's form is rugged and weather
beaten. Timer has furrowed its sides,
and the forces of dehudation have per-
ceptibly increased the steepness of the
upper part Of the cone by the removal
Of all the lighter elected materials.
This circumstance has given rise to the
legend that the northern peak of the
isiand-separated from the rest Of the
summit ridge by a sllxbs depression
is inaccessible. AS mater OF fact, II
