FIND FISH ALREADY BROILED

Volcanic Peak In South American Andes Throws Out Dainty Morsels Which Indians Appreciate. There is a volcanic peak In the South American Andes that serves broiled fish fer breakfast Not Infrequently they also are on the bUI ot fire for luncheon and dinner as well. This peak is called the Tunghurahua, and is regarded as a special instrument of the gods by Indians living in the vicinity. , They believe that when an eruption takes place, ruining their crops and perhaps sweeping away their homes, the mystic spirit of the Tungurahua provides the broiled fish so that they will not want But the scientific e®planation is somewhat different Far underneath the mouth of the volcano Is a subterranean lake. When the volcano begins to spout flame and lava the suction draws up tons of water, carrying along the'fish, whlch are cooked by the inferno they pass through. After an eruption the dlans find thousands of the fish in the ashes and lava from the volcano, and many of these are just crisp enough for a dainty breakfast
