In our write-up last, week of the

touches were being put on tht
pretty residence of Mr 3 M Hoi

Bv the way, we want to tell you
something later on about the brick
plant that is now being considered
for Newborn by conservative busi¬
ness men. By way of encourage
input we want to say that there is
ready money and a steady demand
for red clay after it is puddled,
shaped and baked a little.
A petition was circulated in our
midst this week asking aid for Mr
Charley Whitten and family, of
m*ar Rutledge, who had the mis¬
fortune to lose their pretty home

the field and his wife just stepped

A COSTA RICAN VOLCANO.
Pea Picture of Pobi and Its Diuiftt.
oui Sai-roundlngra.
On the Island of Costa Itleo Is 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
flant 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 near the center
of the lake. The column ordinarily
rises to a height varying from 250 to
500 feet Almost Instantly a vast cloud
0 f va por is evolved which surrounds the
column and rises to an Immense height.
A thousand feet below the lip is thfe
lake or pool. along the shores of which
j g 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
oatburst are formidable, and long after
the eruption has ceased the whole cra¬
ter is filled with the roar of the troubled
waters.—Chicago News.
