Pen Picture of Poas and Its Danger* OU.4 Surroondings. On the island of Costa Rico ia the re markable volcano of Poas. The crater has an altitude of about 8,500 feet. The traveler who makes the ascent on reaching the lip of the crater finds him self at the brink of a vast perpendicu lar sided pit, at the bottom of which lies a motionless pool of yellowish wa ter. The sense of deadly stillness and desolation is undisturbed by any indi cation of life. The almost vertical walls are devoid of even a vestige of plant creation^ not a bird wings its way through the air, the surface of the pool is without a ripple, and even the hu man voice sounds strange and incon gruous. Suddenly the silence is bro ken by a great and startling under ground rumbling, and a huge column of a dark colored liquid is thrown to a vast height from a spot nbar the center of the lake. The column ordinarily rises to a height varying from 250 to 500 feet. Almost instantly a vast cloud of vapor is evolved which surrounds the column and rises to an immense height. A thousand feet below the lip is the lake or pool, along the shores of which It is necessary to move about with care because of numerous concealed holes filled with a slimy substance, consist ing mainly of sulphate of lime with a large excess of sulphuric acid. This hardens in a few moments when ex posed to the air, and consequently the pits are covered with slight shells that render it almost impossible to dis tinguish between them and solid ground. If a foot goes through this thin crust it will be found that in a few days the shoe will be destroyed, as the seams cannot resist the acid action. The lake at closer view is discovered to be covered with clouds of vapor and it is impossible to see for any distance. Among other gases, sulphur dioxide is present in considerable quantities, and at times the smell becomes almost un bearable. At close range the water is. grayish in color, and it is so acid that it almost burns the tongue when tasted. Any dark cloth moistened with the liquid in stantly becomes red and is ultimately destroyed. The temperature at the shore, while varying considerably, ranges around 115 degrees F. During one of the greatest eruptions known a tremendous column of dark liquid rose to an estimated height of 2,000 feet and was about 300 feet in diameter. The waves produced on the lake by such an outburst are formidable, and long after the eruption has ceased the whole cra ter is filled with the roar of the troubled waters.—Chicago News. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. What Is a sign of age in others Is, of course, a sign of sense in you. Some people think they have done their duty if they express a willingness to do it. Some people in time grow almost fa mous for hearing of things that never happened. The average man will stand without hitching a great deal better than if he is tied to a pole. There is one thing sure—in a home where there is always enough cooked for company they always have it. How severe a young man is with the love affairs of a widower, and how se vere an elderly man is with the love affairs of a young fellow! The jealousy of the children when mother cuts the pie isn’t anything com pared with that they feel in later years when father divides It — Atchison Globe. __ On* Way to Get a Persian Carpet. A woman who accompanied her hus band up the Khyber pass in Afghan istan tells how she saw a fine Persian carpet and coveted it. An assistant to their host went out and returning said: “My head man says the owner of the carpet is a wicked old man, who will not sell his carpet at any price, but he has gone for the night to sleep in a lit tle village close by, which is beyond British boundary. He wants to know if he shall make a hole in the wall of the mud hut and steal it while the old sinner sleeps. Shall he walk in at once and kill him and take it? He will do whichever memsahib likes.” Mem sahib, however, discovered that she could live without the carpet after all. Robin Redbreast. The country people of England, as well as of several other countries, have an Idea that the red of the robin’s breast was caused by a drop of blood which fell upon It at the crucifixion, According to the story, the robin, com miserating the condition of Christ, tried to pluck the crown of thorns from his brow, and. In doing so, got its breas! wet with the blood flowing from tht wounds. The color became permanent being transmitted from generation t( generation, and thus, according to the legend, the robin Is a perpetual re minder of the sufferings of Christ. Snobbishness In Dost*. A dog fancier once took exception tx Professor Huxley’s assertion that “om of the most curious peculiarities of thi dog mind was its Inherent snobbish ness, shown by the regard paid to ex ternal respectability. The dog whi barks furiously at a beggar will let i well dressed man pass him without op position.” He said that, In fact, onl; dogs of well dressed persons act so Dogs accustomed to men In rags barb not at beggars, but at persons clothex In sleek broadcloth.
