Allliouifh ttiurh haa been written
about tli origin of th talanda, this
la (till Binder of conjecture. In
tereetlng argumenta have bn ad
vanced to prove they art remnante
of tht lt continent, Atlantla. Ona
theory ta that th lalanda art tht
tupnioat peak of aublarranean
rangt of mountain eitendlng north
tud toulh, and another that they
wert at out Hint I part of tht conti
nent. English geographer hart tiik
en deep Inlerett In tht stmly of the
lalanda, and It la not linprnbnhlt that
botanical Investigation will prov
Hint Hit latter theory la correct Hut
whatever may liavt been tht origin
of tht talanda, they art certainty tht
result of tremendoua volrsnlc erup
tlona that hart continued to change
their physical aspect aver si not their
discovery In tht Fifteenth century.
According to a Moorish account
written befort tht Thirteenth cen
tury, an Arabian caravel started from
I'ortugal to discover new lands. Ball
ing westward for eleven days, the
Sailors suddenly found themselves In
act of "fetid gases" and confronted
by dangerous rocka and shoals, which
so frightened them that they turned
southward. It la qultt poaalhlt that
thest daring Arabian sailor reached
tht Asorean waters during volcanic
disturbance, whlrb prevented their
further discoveries.
Plet tht Hlgheet Volcano.
I'lco, T.fllS feet blgh, on tht tslnnd
bearing tht tanit name, la Interest
Ing aa tht central and tht highest
volcano of Iht Islands. It la con
sidered by aomt aa tha prlnclpwl
communication of this region with
tht Interior of tht earth. Light clouda
of vapor occasionally rlat from Ita
summit and tht aahes at Iht top art
still wtrrn.
fit Michaels bsa perhapa Buffered
more from volcanic disturbance than
any of tht other Islands; bul Santa
Maria, only fi3 miles south of 8t
Michaels, baa always been fret from
eruption a.id tven beavy earth
quakes. Portuguese architecture was, of
course, brought over to tht Island
by Hit early settler. Many of tht
bouse art built of maaslvt blocks
of lav rock. The Interior art dl
vliled Into spacious rooms, provided
with many window and door thai
often connect with long row of but
routes. Ornamental designs worked
In plaster of pari deenratt tht
painted walls and ceilings. Urge
chimney stand list sentinels on iht
roofs. These chimneys, having long
nnrrow opening, are In aomt cases
eight feet wide at the lower part
where they rlst from tht flreplsct
In Hit kitchen.
Hack of tht house art flower gar
dens surrounded by high walla These
wall, sometime IS feet high, are
found everywhere on tht Island, often
Inclosing tht road fur long dis
tance. The Asorean of the rural district
of the Island of Saint Michael lead
rattier monotonous live. The hits
bnnd or futher leave til home nt
dnybrenk to till the soil, while the
female member of the futility sttend
to their domestic duties, carry Iheli
corn to? tha nenrest windmill, and
bring back Hi meal for the week,
Muss on Bundny morning nnd walk
or visit In the afternoon constitute,
In ninny cases, the only change In
their simple live throughout most
of tht year, They welcome, with
great enthusiasm, therefore, the- two
great religious celebrations Hint cen
ter around the metropolis I'ontn
))elguKO, Hie procession of Santo
ClirlHto, and the Impcrlo do Oplrlto
Biinto or Holy Ohost.
Procession of Santo Chrlsto.
Tht procession of Knnto Chrlsto
t ukes place on Hie fifth Sunday after
Ensler. In the afternoon of the duy
before, the Imnge I taken out of Hit
convent, whore It remain all yelir.
It I carried Into (he adjoining
church, which I kepi open all night
for the 15.000 pnnpl who com from
far and near, many of them from
other Islands, lo worship and witness
the great proceaslon of Hit year. Tha
pilgrims walk long distances, and
uiak their bed In tht park In front
of tht church or iteep In tht vestl
bult Itself. Nor do tht faithful wor
shiper In tht United State forget
their beloved Image. Oenerou con
tributions arrive from America, and,
In remembrance of absent friends,
Hit American Aug la produced In tha
form of pyrolechnlcal display In the
I'ark of Ha Tranclsco.
Tht aecond of tha great rellgtoua
festival 1 Hi Imperlo do Kaplrlto

over period of ten or more week,
from Easter Sunday until 8ulnt Pe

aerie of processions, but Iht prin
cipal and most Interesting featurt I
Hit poor people. On the last Sunday
niordomos, or chiefs, whose duty It I
to collect money and other gift, art

Tha most atlractlvt feature of
carnival tlma la tht "limit of Flow
era" In the aquart of San Francisco
at Ponta Delgada. Those wishing to
partlclpata prepart their coachet for
that purpose, covering them with
elsborsle floral designs. 8lnct tht
Introductloj of automobile, these art
also nsed, Iht bodies and wheel of
Hit car often forming aotld masse
of flower tnd orange. Tht coachet
art loaded with basket full of (low
er and confetti Soon th atreet and
park become a olid mast of people,
and the progress of th vehicle I
obstructed. Then th battle begins
and rage everywhere until the bat
tlefield la covered with thick car
pet of flower and confetti, and the
Immaculately dressed women and
girl, flushed with the exciting hard
ship of altark and defense, present
fascinating picture.
Oarb ef tht Psoplt,

Wooden shoes art also worn by many
of tht peasant women and servants
Tht old Carpauca, with Ita est fall

In tht cltlet many of tht women
wear special garb known lh
