"CitY of Earthuuakes."

The city of San Salvador, capital OF
the republic of Salvador, may be called
a city of earthquakes, for it has seen
disaster as result of many eruptions,
and even today the many volcanoes
that surround the little city which has
been shattered so many times again
threaten it. Rumbings and grumbings
are heard, coming it is supposed from
the Izalo volcano.
This cinder-covered peak, nearly
5000 feet high, has gradually built
itself up from what was level plain
at the base of the Santa Ana volcano.
1t has long periods of inactivity, throw
ing up clouds of smoke and steam in
great puffs, and at times belching
flames. Sometimes flashing effect
can be seen far out at sea, and the vol
cano has become known along the
coast as the lighthouse of Central
America.

man and Won Fels fighting desperately
for the hand of Crete Felsner, pretty
| Dresden actress.
Hartman and the young woman were
| secretly engaged when Won Fels came
| upon the scene. He paid court so
openly that quarrel between the two
men followed. Won Fels, an expert
duelist, challenged Hartman and the
challenge was accepted.
The girl, realizing that her fiance
would have little chance for his life
in an ordinary duel, and knowing him
70 be an expert aviator, proposed a
novel departure from the usual field
of honor-a duel in the air. The idea
met with instant favor and the Sec
onds arranged for details for the first
aerial duel.
The duel was to be fought at an al
titude of 5000 feet, the contestants fir
ing through their propellers until one
was downed. The first time the ma
chimes came within range of each
other, neither aviator was harmed. The
Fokkers turned and again dashed at
each other and this time Won Fels' ma
chine crashed to the earth.
An inquiry was institTad and is still
in progress. The affair was so baf-
fiingly novel that the military jurists
are in quandary. The young woman,
who was the cause of the duel, left
the town hurriedly and Hartman was
cheated, temporarily, at least, of the
prize for which he had risked his life.
