Here is a brown faced Indian girl who is selling some at our' feet I venture you never saw such little potatoes before They are not bigger than marbles and she offers us eight for five cents What queer potatoes they are! Some are of a bright violet some are os ink as the toes of that baby who is playing among them and some are as black as the feet of the Indian girl who has them for sale Po tatoes do not grow large at the altitude of La Pax and though there are also large ones in the markets these come from the warmer lands lower down But the most curious of all the potatoes sold in La Pax are those known as ch uno (choon yo These are sold In large quanti ties and you may see piles of them at every step as you go through the market There is a woman who has a large stock spread out upon a blanket before her The pota toes are as white as bleached bones They are" almost as hard and when jou break them apart ou find them almost a tough tints of the have hcen robbed the wet grass or crossing a stream The Indian woman wears hats and their dresses are as gaudy as the blankets of the men and everywhere there are other queer cos tumes as we shall see in the markets fur ther on 7 Where the Cabman Does Not Rule La az' has1 about 60000 people It is the chief commercial city of Bolivia but It not a street ear a cab nor a dray I doubt If it has a dozen private carriages and ps fof one anti two horse wagons these are unknown In going about town eVeryr one walks and all of the heavy traffic is carried on by mules donkeys llamas or Indians My trunks are carried from one place to another on the backs of Indians and I pay each man about eight cents a trunk The bread carrier bf la'Pu is a donkey with ftkin boxes In which the bread is kept swung across his back iThe beer wagon is a mule who has a large case of bottles on each of its aides and the fur niture movers whether the thing moved be a table or piano are Indians who carry ITS VALVE AS A PRACTICAL WAR But to People Mho Live Here It is the A CHOLO BELLE BOLIVIA shoulders from one house to" the other reight Is brought into the city on mules llamas donkeys and Indians The fuel of the citv Is I have said llama manure This all comes in on the backs of llamas In bags Coco is brought chiefly on donkeys and Peruvian bark and rubber from the hotter lands Tower down' come the same way I saw an odd load on a mule yester day It was a limp bundle about five and a "half feet long and perhaps eighteen Inches in diameter thrown over the mule so hat the ends hung down at the same distance from the ground on each side Beside it on another mule rode a policeman and a crowd of Indian women came walking behind It 'was the dead body of a woman roiled up la blanket She had been mur dered a few days before for about ISO which she was known to have saved and the policeman was bringing the corpse and the criminals to La Pax In the the war cruieer Vesuvius showed that ier pneuma tic gun is possessed of a terrible destructive power for the explosive shells tore holes In Cayo Smith such as would serve as beds for good sized artificial lakes Yet the test Is one to determine the merits of the gun No one knows what it will' do In ac tual navel conflict where the vessel of the onemy is a rapidly moving target 'and those who are skeptical as to this innova tion in gunnery say that a Spanish ship would be as safe to steam straight at tha Vesuvius discharglng'hbr unwieldy billots as Sampson in disregarding the shots from tho fort at Santiago The Dynamite Gun Co thinks differently and is anxious for opportunity to make the supreme test There are but eight of these guns in ex istencc and the company has placed them with special reference to haying them tried at the earliest possibility Three are on the Vesuvius' two are at Sandy Hook one Is mounted at San rancisco one is on the cruiser Buffalo and the other is in England It was the gun company that had the Vesu vius built by the Cramps and when she was equipped sought to demonstrate her usefulness to the government Before a positive conclusion could be reached through these preliminary tests the war came on navy department invest ed In the boat under a conviction that she was well wot th trying The company is satisfied in wh did towards ttrft demolition of a land fortification but real that it cannot expect to be with orders until the guns prove that they are equally formidable where warships are to be As to the destructiveness of these 'pro jectiles if thej reach their mark there can be no question The largest shell car ries 500 pounds of gqn cotton the next in size 200 pounds and the smallest 100 pounds It Is an interesting fact that the two guns at Sandy Hook can throw each and all of these sizes the largest projectile just fit ting the 15 inch guns and the smaller ones being accommodated by means of a sub caliber device Want of accuracy in alm is the particular objection of old artillery men to these pneumatic guns especially When the largest projectiles are The compressed air does not seem equal to giv ing them the desired velocity throughout their trajectory The result is that they wobble in their course and are not true to the range at which they are fired' This defect is less noticeable in the smaller pro jectiles those adapted to the 8 inch bore having a conceded accuracy All three are fired with the same force of air andit is Inevitable that the smaller shells should have the greater velocity as well as the greater precision The company still maintains the thorough efficiency of its gun however and attrib utes the criticism to a prejudice arising from the fact that gunpowder cannot be used in the discharge of explosive shells But there is an apparent conces sion in the fact that experiments are being conducted with a shell containing 200 pounds of gun cotton a fuse of ful mlnate of mercury which can be thrown from a 12 inch gun There is a promise of success and should such prove the case the brief career of the pneumatic dynamite gun will be at an end IT IS OCT Mrs Charles Reed of Albion is passing two weeks with Detroit friends Mr and Mrs Charles Campbell ree Van Bnren left Tuesday for Montreal where

kept for a year without spoil ing The method of preparation is to soak them in wafer and allow them to freeze night after night until they become soft Then tire skins are rubbed off by treading upon them with the bare feet and the po tatoes rre thoroughly dried in the open air After drying they are as white as snow and as hard as stones Such potatoes form one of the chief foods of the Bolivians They are a staple article among the Indians of the Andean highlands They have to be soaked for three or four days before they can be eaten and are often served in the It rm of a stew Tiie Emits of the Andes It seems curious to find all sorts of fine fruits away' up here on the roef of the world There are fruit peddlers on' nearly every square of La az and the market is filled with fine varieties of' pears oranges and pineapples There are sweet and sour lemons and there are white grapes berry' of which is the size'of a damson plum There are clingstone peaches as as the White Heath and there are figs and other fruits which we do not have One peculiar article looks mammoth green bean pod It is known as the When opened it shows big incased in a pulp which looks like the finest 'of tyhite spun silk You eat this pulp and when cold it tastes to you much Like a finely flavored Ice cream These fruits come from forty to sixty miles 'away from slopes of the Andes 'perhaps down than La Paz Witnin a hundred miles from here into tropical Bolivia and by' going that distance can have all of the climates from trepiCPl heat to frigid cold The snow never melts on HUmani The climate here is about that of Pans and in the Yungas and the Beni regions' not far away' the pineapples and the palm trees grow Thera are wild oranges and wild cotton trees There are coffee and in the forests the

coiled A New York man was a 'Gothamite1 We read in our home paper of In When a man went from our country to this city he said he had gone to I remember an incident in my school The teacher had a habit of asking questions that were not in the book and one day he sprung this Is the largest city in the United The boy at whom was fired replied The old teacher looked over bls spectacles and you are another one I wish the fathers of 'some of you bovs would tell you when they read Washington Irving that he was no friend of the school teacher It takes half my tim" to undo what Irving did in the historical line The largest city in the United States is New York and if any of you bovs ever go there you will find it dear old pedagogue was a native o' the umpire State I meet many people in the
