THE WASHINGION TIMES. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 22, 1918. 3 VAN WINKLE AMONG VOLCANOES AWAKES AT LAST BAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Feb. 22.

The Irazu volcano, the largest and highest in Costa Rica, awakened and began new period of violent activIty' after nearly two centuries of quietness. The previous remarkable eruption of this volcano took place in when Costa Rica was the poorest of the colonies under the crown of Spain. During that year the Irasu was in activity throughout, the whole year. emitting quantities of ashes, cinders, smoke, vapor, and gases, and the manifestation was followed, by earthquakes. Then came a period of long rest.

It -fell into a deep slumber for nearly 200 years. Now it has awakened and is pour ing out, without interruption, torrents of vapor, sublimates, and ashes. cinders and volcanic debris, which, floating in the air and carried by the air currents, have reached places twenty-five miles distant from the crater.
