THE CRATER OF FUJI, THE MOST GLORIOUS MOUNTAIN OF JAPAN, MORE THAN TWO MILES HIGH
Japan has fifty volcanoes that have been active in recent years; this picture shows the crater of the most famous mountain in the island empire. Fuji, the cone so dear to the Japanese heart, uplifts its peak 12,365 feet from the plain. It has not erupted since the beginning of 1708. No other natural feature in Japan comes so often into its pictures as Fuji.
