CLIMBING A Y0LCAN0
One of the Five Active Craters in
Costa Rica
A Craphic Description of a Perilous Ad-
Teatare A Crater Never Examined
by Scientist Incidents and
Accidents
-There are five active volcanoes
in
Costa Rica according to the geography
Irazu which is 11500 feet high Tur
rialba -which is 10350 Poas DeBarba
and Mirravalees which have not been
measured and several smaller ones
whose craters have shown evidence of
former activity bat have emitted
nothing since the memory of man To
be considered active a volcano does not
have to keep belching out fire and smoke
all the time for they must have vaca
tions like the rest of us but an extinct
one is that whose crater has been per
mitted to fill up with debris and never
shows signs of life
Not having had the advantage of vol
canic acquaintance and being ambi
tious to look into the craters mouth I
determined to explore Irazu and in
company with Mr H Remsen White
house Secretary of the United States
Xegation in Central America I made
the ascent
It was an experience which will never
be forgotten but which one would not
care to repeat You can not go to the
summit of Irazu in a railway car like
Vesuvius and no one has ever taken
the trouble to build a carriage road
therefore the journey is not recom
mended to ladies invalids or timid
men and one such trip will do the most
nrveful for a lifetime
We followed up a cart road thick
with dust for n few miles then entered
the cornfields and rode through them
for several hours stopping at the cabin
of a native to get corn for our horses
and a cup of coffee for ourselves
This was the last house on the moun
tain ana leaving n we went through a
pasture and struck into aforeit as dens
-as a forest can be There was a good
moon and it lit up the tree tops with a
weird and fantastic light while the
great festoons of moss which hungffcom
the branches and almost obscured our
way were almost livid where the rays of
moonlight struck them The trunks
and limbs of the trees were covered
with thick yellow lichens which were
as fine as hair and hung like the beard
of a patriarch The trees too were
loaded with orchids that rare plant so
much prized by botanists and sought
hereby collectors from all over the
world Dead trunks covered with moss
that seemed almost phosphorescent
arose like phantoms in our way Huge
thorny cacti like the candelabra of
giants were on every side while the
dense growth of underbrush made it
almost impossible for the horses to push
through
Through this we kept climbing until
the horses were exhausted and the moon
went down For some inscrutable
reason but really for no reason
whatever it is considered best to
make the climb in the night but we
couldnt go any further so a fire was
built the animals were unsaddled and
given their supper we swung our ham
mocks in the trees and wrapping our
selves in blankets lay down to pleasant
dreams
The blazing fire frightened the ani
mals of the forest and all around us
we could hear the protests of the tiger
whose crv is like that of a child Now
and then the deeper tones of the moun
tain lion could be distinguished but
they were more frightened than we for
the fire was terror to them as it was
a comfort to us the altitude being some
thing more than 9000 feet and the tem
perature forty Farenheit The birds
chattered and gossiped being awak
ened by the unusual light and disturb-
snee in their solitude There was little
sleep for any of us as the situation was
so weird and the noises our advent
awakened so strange to our ears At
SS0 we were to be called and continue
the ascent so as to Teach the top of the
mountain by sunrise We were all
awake long before the time and
leaving the hammocks hanging and
stripping ourselves of every possible
encumberance except overcoat and
food we were in the saddle
promptly and followed the guide as he
plunged into a darkness that could be
cut with alcnife There is darkness
and darkness but that we encountered
in that tropical forest was double dyed
We might a well have been blindfolded
in a cotfin at the bottom of a grave
There was a path a trail among the
trees but the guide couldnt follow it
on horseback so he dismounted and
felt for it with his feet They failed
and be crept along on his hands and
knees and that method of locomotion
being rather unsatisfactory he lit a
candle he had in his pocket and plodded
along
The path went zigzag up the moun
tain side like the trail of a goat It ran
a few hundred feet on the bias at a
grade of about forty five degrees and
Then reversing ran up about the same
grade and distance in the other direc
tion presenting a series of acute angles
like an enormous rail fence Just as
Mr Whitehorse was turning one of
those corners where the slope of the
mountain side was almost perpendicu
lar his horse stepped upon a rotten log
which concluded to roll down the preci
pceandhe and Irs hore went too
obody saw this decidedly novel acro
fiktic adventure It was loo dark to see
jfjP x---
y
vonr hand before your face re were
Creeping along feeling our way step by
step with arms outstretched to prevent
contact between the trees and our
heads
After making what test fee called a
cursory examination of the surround
ings Mr Whitehouse clambered up the
bank where a council of war was held
and it was determined to postpone fur
ther operations on that line until da
light So we sat down around a fire
and discussed things until the light
began to filter through the forest Then
the climb was resumed and we got out
of the woods just in time to see the sun
rise out of what looked like a world full
of soapsuds The mountain rose like
an island in a shoreless sea of clouds
great banks of foamy vapor rolling and
plunging in the wind that always rises
with the dawn as the surf does on the
shoals It was a picture one does not
often see and there are no words in my
vocabulary that will convey an adequate
idea of its appearance If one could
fill the world with foam like that which
hovers over the foot of Niagara Falls it
would look something like it
The wind was bitter cold and it
swept over the volcano with a fierceness
that penetrated our very bones but the
suns rays were hot and piercing and
soon burned out the clouds in which
the wind assisted and the picture
turned into a scenic panorama which
has few equals in the world Below us
was spread out all Costa Rica aud the
surf fringed shore of two oceans Sky
sea and lands were one vast rainbow
mingling tints of blue and green and
and the most unpoetic eyes could not
behold it without awe and wonder
Mountains seemed to hang in the air
asthe clouds surrounded them long
lines of unbroken forests stretched
away into a mirage which seemed to
show the earth inverted the fields of
sugar cane a brilliant livid green
looked like strings of gigantic emeralds
on the earths bosom while the ellow
fields of corn half harvested resembled
sand hills rolling and weltering under
the tropic sun Here and there were
clusters of houses with white churches
rising in their midst and streams link
ing them together like silver bauds
Far off on the horizon which sur
rounded the picture like a circular
frame it was difficult to tell where the
sky and the ocean met their colors
blending imperceptibly We would not
have known the two seas were there
had not the expectation of a view of both
the Atlantic and the Pacific from the
same point been one of the objects of
the climb this being the only spot in
the world from which both oceans are
visible The guide said he could dis
tinguish the sky from the water but I
could not and only knew that the seas
were there because the lines where the
dark green forests ended and the blue
began were broken and irregular
following the crest of a ridge of
pumice stone ana ashes which had
been thrown out in ages past and were
as regularly pled as if the hands of men
had dumped them there we looked
down on one side into a gorge three
thousand feet deep to the foot of which
a stone would roll without meeting an
impediment and on the other into a
basin formed by the mountain side and
the heaps of ashes that lay in a regular
winrow around it a basin about five
hundred feet deep and quarter of a mile
across from the top of one bank to the
top of the other The bottom was
honey combed with craters where it
looked as if the earth had broken through
in irregular circles There were seven
or eight of these craters some of them
centuries old the last and largest having
opened within the memory of living
men The older ones were black and
half filled with ashes cast from those of
later origin while the new one as it
is called perhaps a quarter of a centu
ry old was bottomless as far as we
could see and its walls were yellow with
sulphur and white with half burned
limestone It was dangerous to go near
the edge for the banks are concave
and thin crusts of earth reach over
them but we cast huge stones over and
heard them strike the sides of the crater
as they went down into an abyss which
man has never measured How long
they were in reaching the bottom and
what they found when they got there
would be interesting to know but this
volcano has never been scientifically ex
amined and very few people have ever
been to the craters edge
We were glad we went while we were
down there but were sorry when Ave
tried to go back for the walls at the
basin are loose ashes light and flinty
and our feet snnk into them almost to
the knees It was fun coming down
sliding and leaping into the soft sub
stancebut going up it was a task that
at times seemed to be bejond endur
ance Ihe ashes were fresh and crisp
and there was no sign of vegetation for
a distance of a thousand feet or more
down the outside bank against which
the wind was constantly blowing
and where one would think it would
lodge dust and seeds from the
forests so near and so numerous The
wall of ashes arose at least 500 and in
some places 600 feet around the crater
We noticed a very marked odor of sul
phur in the crater while we were there
and our guide who crawled close to
the edge reported vapor coming from
the bottom but the rest of us could not
perceive it There were many evidences
of recent discharges however one of
the most pronounced being the pres
ence of flakes of sulphur on the ground

since the last rainfall
It is the prevailing theory among
local amateur scientists that the fire act
ive volcanoes 01 crista rtca are con
nected by underground passages and
are all chimneys of the same terrestrial
furnace that more than one is seldom
active but that at least one is always in
a state of eruption as an escape for gas
and vapors from the subterranean fires
that it is universally the rule for earth
quakes of great force to follow a sup
presaon of activity in all of them and a
sense of relief alwa s prevails when the
discharges are heavy and frequent But
while the interruption of activity is im
mediately succeeded by upheavals else
where earthquakes are frequently felt
though not in such force while the vol
canoes are active This is accounted
for by the fact that gas is not emitted as
fast as it accumulates and that when it
gathers in quantities sufficient to reach
Hazel
the sparks from the subterranean fires
it explodes in the caverns and causes an
oscillation of the earth above Theso
explanations are very plausible and gen
erally accepted as true although as I
have said the phenomenon has never
been studied by men of scientific repu
tation who might find here an interest
ing and prolific field for research

THE FARMER EDITOR
Tho Interesting Experience of a Journal
istic Form Hand
I believe said Mr Colnon turning
around as he was on the front seat of
the carriage to face the larger portion
of his audience that I had sooner
write editorials than be a farm hand
When I was a boy I came to the conclu
sion that I would strike out on my own
responsibility that I would carve out a
line of action in contact with the world
at once worthy and commendable 1
left home when I was a good chunk of a
boy and drifted around on the surface of
nature some time before 1 located mr
claims and pre empted a fondness for
good square up anil up work I appren
ticed myself to a farmer for 12 a month
board aud washing Prior to locating
with the farmer I had followed several
callings but I was dissatisfied with each
and all of them Among the number
being butcher painter singing teacher
and member oa Bible class in Sunday
school
When I entered into contract with
the farmer he said Ned whatever
you do do it well If 3011 milk the cow
in the morning exact the last bit of
rovalty from her if you feed the slock
inthfteveninfr dont give them too
much food for it may tie them up like
the contortionist you see displayed on
the circu3 posters if you should be
called upon to get up before daylight
and hunt for it with a caudle dont
complain Ned dont complain re
member that the early bird catches the
worm and that the early farm nand is
a source of joy to his employer Eat
whatever is set before you and never
complain if there is no butter upon the
table when it is selling for fifty cents a

THE DAIRY
The cheese process depends largely
apon the relative percentage of water te
asein If there is too little water the
shecse will cure slowly and be dry
crumbly and have little flavor If thef o
be too much water destructive ferment
ation will set in and the cheese rapidly
decay if does not sour and break
The average quantity of milk re
quired to produce one quart of cream
is 1220 quarts tho lowest range being
3 quarts and the highest 18 quarts
The average quantity of butter from
Dne quart of cream is 1506 ounces the
lowest range in this case being 8 ounces
and the highest 22 ounces Boston
Globe
It takes eleven pounds of milk to
add one pound of live weight to a calf
and an ox that weighs 1300 pound will
consume twenty two pounds of hay in
twenty four hours to keep from losing
weight If he is to fatten he must have
just twice that quantitr when he will
gain two pounds a day This is one
pound live weight to eleven pounds of
good hay To obtain about fifty cents
4 hundred for hay a farmer must sell
fat steers at 550 per hundred pounds
-Every year the line is being drawn
more closely about dairy products
says a writer aud each succeeding
year brings an increased demand for
strictly first class grades and a weaker
demand for the poorer ones- In all
probability the time is not far distant
when it will be almost impossible to dis
pose of poor butter at all except as
grease and at grease prices Notwith
standing all that is said against imita
tion butter it is a truth that tho
meanest filthiest imitation of all is
made from genuine cows milk but in
6uch a slovenly incompetent manner
that all value and trace of genuineness
nas been eliminated
Temperature exercises very consid
erable influence not only on the quan
tity of butter produced but also on its
quality During hot summer weather
the cream will gather more quickly than
in winter and the butter whilst richer
will be softer Again in oold weather
it will be often found almost impossible
under ordinary circumstances to pro
duce butter Lowering the tempera
ture of the dairy iu summer will there

hall We sat down to a supper of cold
pork potatoes and plenty of skimmed
milk From the outset I was affected
with a disinclination to eat I couldnt
eat that was all there was about it
After supper the farmer said 4Ned go
out to the barn and help milk Look
out for the briudle cow she is a little
troublesome sometimes but I think you
can manage her Armed with the
milk pail I repaired to the barn and
confronted the brindle cow
The brindle cow had a child like
simplicity look in her eye There was
a striking difference in her character
as I afterward found out more than in
anj cow that I had ever seen before or
have ever seen since She was raised
in Texas and grew up on the freedom
of the country until she was jut enter
ing girlhood when she immigrated to
California and became the property of
my emplover I approached her with
a great deal of cauton She had a
nervous way of switching her tail and
picking up her right hind foot that 1
didnt like and felt solicitous about I
carefully put ruy hand on the cows

words so Brindle so She seemed
to like the affection which I displayed
I fondled her until I thought the coast
was clear and I could get in my work
and richly earn my salary
I commenced milking but somehow
or other no milk rewarded my labor
The brindle cow evidently was aw are
that I was a new hand upon the ranch
1 made one great exertion to exact the
fluid from her The brindle cow as I
was afterwards informed nervouly
picked up her right hind leg and gently
tied a knot iu mv abdomen When the
concussion came 1 shot up into the sky
like a rocket and in descending landed
head first in the watering trough when
I was removed to more congen
ial quarters by the farmer and his two
grown daughters the milk pail was rent
in fragments while the corral was badly
littered up with the remnants of my
clothing To tell you the truth I didnt
know it was loaded
In the middle of the night of the
same eveniug that this accident hap
pened I was rudely awakened by the
farmer placing his hand upon my
bruised legs saying Ned its time to
get up come rouse jourself
I thought in my waking moments
that the brindle cow had again struck
me Getting up I lighted the tallow
candle in my boudoir and laboriously
pulled on my trowsers or what was left
of them Coming down stairs the
farmer said Ned as you had pooi
luck in the dairy last night you can
wrestle with the wood pile awhile be
fore breakfast As I went out doors a
little faint streak in the eastern horizon
foretold that in the course of three or
four hours the sun would illuminate the
surface of nature I sleepily picked up
the saw and commenced to lay the
foundation for an appetite for break
fast I was so sleepy and sore that I
could not exert myself and laying the
saw down I fell asleep with as much
composure as the fat boy in Pickwick
I hadnt been asleep more than half
an hour before I was ronghlv awakened
by the farmer crying Come I dont
pay you to sleep I pay you to work I
got mad at this rough interruption to
my dreams and as the birds were just
beginning to carol their praises to the
morniugdawn I left the farm for good
As I passed out of the gate I heard the
farmer remark to one of his grown up
daughters who stood in the doorway

temperature during cod weather will
have the effect of causing the butter
to come quicker and be of a better qual
ity
The temperature of cream when
put into the churn should be 52 to 53 5
and this will rise to 56 when butter
comes At a higher temperature the
butter will be white and inferior When
the entire milk is churned it must be
of a higher temperature than cream
when churning commences say 8 or
10 higher Rapid churning also injures
the quality of the butter overchurning
is also prejudicial the best medium
will be found to be when the churning
regularly and steadily carried on takes
from one half hour to one hour to pro
duce butter Cream must also be sour
or well ripened in order to produce the
desired quantity and quality of butter

instinctively close again shutting oil
the flow from the reservoirs to the teats
and retaining in the reservoirs any milk
which may have not passed out The
habit of not giving down consists in
shortening the time of this relaxation
thus stopping the flow from tho res
ervoirs to the teats before the milk
is all drawn The circumstances which
tend to make a cow shorten this period
of relaxation are rough treatment fear
grief solicitude loud noises in short
anything that attracts attention and
makes the cow uneasy The circum
stances which produce a prolonged re
laxation are comfort and quietude and
freedom from disturbance and excite
ment together with the relief which
the flow of milk occasions When a
cow has fiom any cause acquired a
habit of shortening the time of letting
down it is very difficult and some-
i times impossible to overcome it The
j best way is to avoid all occasions of
turbance and observe well those which
j promote pleasure and quiet for the cow
i and to milk as rapidly as possible con-
sistent with comfort with a view to
getting the milk before the letting
j down ceases Milking rapidly does
I not mean jerking sharply or moving
1 with hasty or irregular motions in the
presence of the cow Such a course
would counteract the very thing aimed
at The motion of the milker should not
be such as to attract her suspicions
They should be deliberate aud cool but
when set down to the milking nothing
should be allowed to interrupt or retard
1 the work This will induce continual
1 letting down by giving continual relief
j to the udder The milker should bear
constantly in mind the fact that the
j letting down is short and that every
j moment should be availed of to the
l best advantage When the miiK ceases

The Invention of Paper
How when or by whom paper was
first invented will never be known
According to Hallam documents on
paper are found as early as the tenth
century and it came into use not long
after this era and completely supplant
ed all other materials which were
formerly employed for the purposes for
which it is now used It will be observed
that the invention of paper of some
kind was an absolute necessity before
there could be printing as parchment
was far to expensive to use for the pur
pose even were it otherwise perfectly
adapted to this use The use of paper
in Western Europe dates from the
time mentioned but it was known to the
Chinese long before the Christian era
and it is believed that they used the
bark of various trees the soft part of
the bamboo stems cotton and several
other kinds of vegetable fibers From
the Chinese it is supposed to have spread
to India thence to Arabia and the manu
facture was introduced into Europe by
the Moors of Spain but about this there
is no certainty The rice paper of the
Chinese is made in the same general
way as the papyrus of the ancient
Egyptians by placing in proper order
layers of fibers and cementing them
with sizing or glue The first patent
for paper making was taken out in
England in 1665 but it was for making
blue paper such as is used by bakers h
The next for making writing papers
was in 1675 and covered writing and
printing papers St Louis Globe-Democrat

that French juries are acquitting a larger

Tim kept a restaurant in Wash
ington He was a well known son of
Erin happy as the day is long with a
good-natured- portly wife and five chil
dren that looked like a step ladder when
you stood them up in a row and were
as healthy as little pigs The eldest of
the children was about twelve years of
age One Decoration Day Tim took it
into his head to increase the exchequer
of his family by selling some hard
stuff to the dust begrimed and thirsty
hosts who always visit Arlington on that
occasion so he erected a frame booth
on the road to the cemetery stocked it
with the rale ole stuff and began busi
ness as his own bar tender He forgot
the important essential of taking out a
license was nabbed by a constable
marched down to Alexandria landed in
jail tried convicted and sentenced to
two years for selling liquor without a
license and fined a hundred dollars
When Tims wife and family heard of
what had befallen their natural pro
tector they nearly went crazy One day
I received a visit from his wife and the
rest of the family They lived in
the neighborhood of

my olnce
which she
disconnectedly narrated to me through
her tears and sobs and a thought struck
me that perhaps 1 could be of some serv

my advice strictly and I thought she
could get Tim restored to the bosom of
his family Go up to the White House

FARM EDUCATION
What Is Needed in Order to Bring Farm
ing Abreast of Sister Industries
A young farmer can educate himself
to the highest capacity and find means
of nrofitablv apolvinsr his knowledge
upon the farm Even his study of
aesthetics is not a waste of mental force
for artistic gardens and lawns and
good architecture are highly essential
upon the farm A thorough chemical
physiological and botanical training
will come into play every day and then
if one is ambitious what more laudable
work can he do than to add to scientific
investigation such as will enlarge the
possibilities of stock and grain produc
tion and economize labor besides Such
a work is a boon to our fundamental in
dustries and should not be held in con
tempt by any one however ambitious
and self conscious of great abilities
The rural industries if they could re
tain the wealth of intellect their profits
are helping to put into other lines of
work would be loosened from the tra
ditional ruts of old time methods and
spring into active advancements char
acteristic of the mechanical arts The
bone and sinew of the country life
should not be taken from it en account
of any mistaken idea that other lines
of work are more honorable and better
fitted for men of talent Our farms need
some Newtons Franklins and Edisons
upon them to bring them abreast of
their sister industries in this advancing
age After the professions impoverish
a few more millions of our youth the
tide will surely turn Young men will
see their follyj and parents will be lest
