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,

The walnut was originally called th
gaulinut in England, because it cama
from France (Gaul). Walnuts played
an important part at tho siege of
Amiens, near the end of the sixteenth
century, when a party of Spanish sol
diers, dressed as French peasants,
brought a cartload of nuts to sell and,
as the gates opened for them to enter,
the nuts were spilled upon the ground,
and sentinels stooped to pick them up.
when the Spanish soldiers pounce
upon them, killed them and guarded
the gates while the Spanish army en
tered. "There is a difference between a
