SLIDING DOWN A VOLCANO. a lively Senaitloii In Toboggan in 8 pownthe Hde of Popocntepett. Having reached the summit, the In dian guides look complacently around and puff unconcernedly at their eternal cigarettes, as they begin to unroll their "petates" on the snow. These petates are Indian mats of strong, tough fiber, which the guides have carried upon their backs. You realize now that they are also toboggans. Now the guides make this toboggan trip, the most remarkable one In the world, and the only one down the side 0( a great volcano, week In and week out whenever the sides of the volcano are not so frozen over as to prevent It. It is nothing to them. But for you It is a different mutter and the more you look at the frail petates and at the long, glittering descent the less you like the Idea. Nervously you watch the prepara-tlons-the smoothing down of the pet ates. when they will persist In curling up at the corners, and. the testing of the heavy palos, or alpenstocks, of which each guide carries two, with extra ones strapped on his back In case of loss. Quakingly, you seat yourself on the rear ends of the mats. Complacently the guides brace themselves firmly In frout of you, push the ragged old som breros over their eyes. light fresh cigar ettes for the clown trip, caution you to sit still and have care, take a steady ""! grip on the alpenstocks, which serve them as steering poles, and you are off. Perhaps on the way up It had been your Intention to race each other down -you have no jocular thoughts now, and as the mats slip over the snow, slowly at first, then faster, gathering momentum at every Inch, you grab des perately at the guide's waist and hold on for dear life. The speed quickens until you are go. tog faster than express train rate. Clouds of soft snow fly up, at times almost blinding you, and calling forth Indian profanity from the guides. The sensation, when you take It quietly, with closed eyes (supposing you can bring yourself to do this), Is not un pleasant there Is a sense of extraordi nary exhilaration, of mad recklessness. But If you dare to look up or about the Bense of seasickness becomes almost overpowering. By the time you have done half the trip the breath has completely left your body, your mouth and eyes are wide open, you can neither see nor hear. Then the end comes with a bang and a shock at the very edge of the snow, and you roll helter-skelter through the stiff, zacation grass bruised wrecks, reonle tnke tho f nn .U .. !
