A Lonely Night Beyond the Snow Line Betreat and a "Return to the Charge" The Great Sulphur Mines. The first object that meets the traveler's eye as he enters the Mexican valley and the last that he sees as he departs is the glittering, snow-capped cone of Popocatepetl the smoking morn tain rising abruptly from the valley in which the capital is situated to an altitude of eighteen thousand feet above the sea. At its side towers another peak, IxtaccihuatU two thousand feet lower, and yet covered with a perpetual sheet of snow. These two great mountains form the natural barrier on the southeast aide of the valley. Although a volcano, Popocatepetl has been dormant for such a great period that many of the Indians declare that it has never been active, but has always been in its present condition.

Certainly from the City of Mexico it seems impossible that such a cold, ice-capped mountain could ever have belched forth fire and streams of lava which extended for miles in every direction. After having watched "old Popo" day after day for nearly a week, my desire to reach the summit became so great that I determined to undertake the trip. It is fifteen miles from the town to the ranch where the night is usually passed by those ascending the mountain. I had lost so much time in Ainecameca that the afternoon was half gone before I was ready to commence, but it was far better to start at that time than to stay over night in the town. Fifteen miles over a good road is not a bad day's tramp, but to commence late in the afternoon, and walk over a narrow, crooked, dusty path is quite a different thing.

Slowly winding my way through fields and lovely valleys I found myself at the end of two hours, at the verge of the great pine forest which seems to form an immense girdle around the volcano. The air was filled with resinous odors, while birds were flitting from one tree to another. The path became steeper and steeper, so that it was impossible to walk longer than five or ten minutes at a time without being obliged to stop and rest. The sun sunk lower and lower, showing that night was fast approaching, and yet there seemed to be miles and miles of forests which would have to be traversed before shelter could be found. During the afternoon I passed a number of small wooden crosses placed on ei ther side of the path to mark the place where unfortunate travelelers have been waylaid by brigands, robbed and then murdered.

The crosses occurred so authorities say that most of the brigands have been killed or driven twav during the past year or two. and yet the natives declare that merchants and strangers are robbed and murdered even at the present time. With such gloomy reminders on every side, and evening slowly creeping on, I began to regret that I had ever undertaken the trip. It was too late to turn back, and the only course was to push on and try and reach the raneh. Soon the sun eared the horizon and then slowly disappeared below it.

For a few moments the clouds were tinged with the most exquisite colors, which soon faded and became cold and cheerless. After walking as rapidly as possible for half an hour I was delighted to find myself at the end of the forest and almost at the extreme limit of vegetation. In front rose the cone of Popocatepetl more beautiful than ever in the dim twilight A broad field of lava lay on the other hand, but not a sign of the ranch. The path became so poor that with the dim light it became almost impossible to keep from going astray. Only one thing remained to be done, and that was to camp out and wait till morning.

The prospects ahead were any thing but pleasant To sleep in the open air at an elevation of thirteen or fourteen thousand feet above the sea, without even a fire, was enough to make almost any one shudder. There was plenty of wood to burn, but the smallest light would attract the brigands to the spot nd then my trip would come to a sudden ending. The pine trees were small, and the branches reached almost to the ground, so it was an easy matter to gather a sufficient quantity of the brush to construct a place in which to sleep. Some of the smaller branches, with the aid of bunches loose mountain grass, served very well as a mattress and pillow. All being arranged for the night I took one last look at the dark, gloomy scene and then crawled inside of my hastily-built house.

It seemed quite warm at first but shortly after the wind began to blow through the sides, making it very uncomfortable. To add to my misery, the visions of those fearful crosses on the roadside were constantly before my eyes, and sleep was out ol close at hand, while the distant fields, valleys and hills stretched in all directions. The edge of the forest seemed to be Martially sheltered from the winds, and would thus make the best camping place to be found. Having plenty of time I was not hurried as on the previous dav, and was able to construct a substantial hut in which to pass the night The pine trees were dry. so that it was an easy matter to break off branches.

Thus by dark the work was finished, and after putting on all my extra clothing and having a hearty lunch, I crawled inside and prepared to pass the night It was a lit- i tie cold the thermometer being con siderably below the freezing point and yet I managed to sleep well and wake up bright and early the next morning, prepared to finish the undertaking. I left the camp and struck across a sloping ridge composed entirely of fine volcanic dust and ashes. Walking was extremely difficult as the loose ashes had a disagreeable way of flying in all directions, and although the distance was less than a thousand feet nearly two hours were consumed in crossing the strip. A steep, rocky ravine then followed, and led to the foot of the glacier. A large stream of water, coming from the end of the field of ice, dashed over precipices in its mad course, and was finally lost in the distance.

The ascent to the snow line was rapid but very laborious, and resulted in numerous bruises and scratches. By alternate freezing and thawing the snow on the cone has been turned into clear, transparent ice. in some places from fifty to one hundred feet thick. The surface, however, is covered with half-frozen snow, partially melted, during the day time, but solid at night Numerous small crevices are on the lower edge, but none of them large enough to be at all dangerous. The ascent at first was at an angle of twenty degrees, but soon increased to nearly forty, making it almost impossible to advance except by crawling on the hands and knees.

The air became so rarefied that only a few steps could be taken at a time without panting and fairly choking for breath. After three hours of such THE BRAZILIAN PEOPLE. Saw La the question. Whenever a twig or climbing I arrived suddenly at the era- I 1 i mm branch cracked, I fancied it was a foot step and expected the next moment tc have a brigand standing over me, ready to plunge his knife. Occasionally the howl of a coyote sounded close at han and on several occasions I even fancied I heard the cry of a mountain lion.

The hours seemed to be stretched into days, and yet from the position of the stars I could see it was not yet midnight The cold winds penetrated through every crack and crevice of my poorly-constructed hut and made it almost unbearable. On several occasions it seemed impossible to remain longer without freezing. A fire, however, was out of the question, for it meant a probable visit from the brigands and one more cross for the roadsides. All things come to an end, and the long: night finally passed away. My one thought was to get away from the fearful place, and without taking even a look at the glorious peak I started on a run down the mountain.

Soon I came to a stream on the side of which I had walked the previous day. The water, however, was frozen solid, showing that the night must have been intensely cold. After reaching a lower altitude I began to feel warm and in good spirits again, and then for the first time felt heartily ashamed of having abandoned the trip. About noon I reached Amecameca, and after a good dinner and a few glasses of pulque I vowed I would reach the summit of Popocatepetl, and that without guides or mules, if it took a whole year to do it The resolution having been duly made, I laid in extra supplies of underclothing, blankets and provisions and then made arrangements to start early the next morning. During the evening the agent and his French interpreter called to learn the result of my trip and to triumph over my failure.

They declared that the Americans were great people for railroads, but they were far inferior to the Mexicans when it came to climbing Popocatepetl. The next day, shortly after sunrise, I was up and ready to start The path was, of course, the same over which I had gone the previous day, but somehow I managed to wander off on a branch road and only discovered my mistake when the path came to a sudden end. ter. Before me lav an immense cham SJ nearly half a mile in diameter and perhaps one thousand feet deep. The atmosphere was a trifle misty, and hid the more distant mountains, but almost at my feet lay the valley of Mexico, Puebla, and its fields, while far away the faint white outlines of Mount Orizaba could be seen.

The edge of the crater is of loose sand, the ice and snow ending abruptly, being prevented from advancing farther by the heat which rises from below. The vapors issuing from the various solfataras, the dazzling whiteness of the cone, and the blue skv above produced a scene of wonderful beauty. Wishing to learn how the sulphur is obtained, I walked on the lip of the crater to the opposite side, and there by means of a clumsy hoisting-machine Jl a a a a a uescenaea several nunarea ieet to a level where a number of Indians were at work. The air was filled with poisonous vapors so dense that it seemed impossible for a human being to remain in the place. Numerous small holes and crevices could be seen in the bottom of the abyss, from which the deadly vapors issued with considerable force.

Around each opening a large quantity of sulphur is deposited each day, and forms the mine from which the valuable mineral is obtained. The supply seems to be inexhaustible, for, no matter how much is gathered during the day, enough will be deposited the following night to more than make up for what has been taken. After being gathered, the crude sulphur is carried to the top of the crater and then shot down a slide over the ice for a distance of two or three thousand feet A small sublimating works is situated near the snow line, and there the raw material is put into marketable shape and sent to different parts of the country. The poor wretches who work in the crater stay up there about two weeks at a time, and then are sent to a lower altitude, where they remain for perhaps three weeks. After being on the summit for an hour, I began to feel a strange, dizzy sensation, and realized the necessity of returning at once to the valley below.

S.

Rio da Janeiro. Two things' will particularly attract the notice of a visitor to Rio, the street illumination and the street cars or bonds, as they are called, because the bonds issued to pay for them have never been redeemed. The gas lamps are unusually numerous in all parts of the city, and their lines extend even to the most remote suburbs. The Santa rheresa walk, which has not a building upon it save an uncompleted hospital, has gas lamps at intervals of about Sfty yards for its whole length. This seemed so surprising I made inquiry in regard to it and received a satisfactory explanation.

The contract for establishing the plant for illuminating the city by gas was given to an American, and he was to be paid a certain amount per lamp, therefore he put in as many lamps as an elastie conscience would permit The result is Rio Is one of the best lighted cities in the world. The street cars are noticeable for their number, their long routes, their different sizes, the rapid rate at which they travel and the fact that they are drawn by mules instead of horses; mules are used for all draught purposes, horses only for riding. Mules draw the heaviest trucks and the finest carriages. I saw a long funeral procession in which every vehicle, hearse in-eluded, was drawn by mules, and they did not look ungainly either. The mule when well kept and groomed makes a very good appearance.

The eradication of a little prejudice makes a great difference in an appre ciation of animals, and even of our fellow men. I have known many instances of people who were neglected and shunned by others in the community, and who went to the dogs, but might have made worthy, respected citizens had they received a little attention and encouragement good feed and careful grooming. The street cars are all open like our summer cars, and have the same arrangement for ringing up fares, and signal gongs. They are of two widths, one that to which we are accustomed, the other very narrow, not more than two-thirds as great On some streets both kinds of cars run on the same route, a third line of rails being laid for the purpose. I no ticed one feature which might perhaps be advantageously introduced into some of our cities, cars for transporting freight some closed and some a mere platform.

I could not that they interfered with travel at all, but they seem to be well patronized, and are regarded as a great convenience. The Brazilians seem to be a badly mixed people. The Portuguese, negro and Indian elements have been shaken up together until each has lost its individuality by absorbing characteristics of the others. I did not see an individual of either race that I could un hesitatingly pronounce of pure blood. The universal custom of gathering at the windows and in the balconies toward evening afforded an excellent opportunity for observing these peculiarities.

In many a family group I observed the characteristics of each race plainly marked. One child with thick lips, full nose, black complexion and kinky hair; the next coarse, black, straight hair, thin face and brown complexion; and a third, perhaps with fair features and red hair. There seems to be no race distinctions. All associate together upon terms of perfect equality. The line of caste is rather between the sexes.

Women are regarded as inferior, and are greatly hampered by social usage. Boys cease to show any respect for their mothers or regard their authority before they reach their teens, which destroys family discipline. In fact, I am told there is no such thing as family discipline. Children are never governed or punished, though girls are kept secluded, and until married are never permitted to meet gentlemen except once in a while at a public entertainment There is no court- mm snip or love-maxing net ween young people, and no marriages which arc the result of mutual attachment Such things are arranged by the parents, and the parties most interested may perhaps have never seen each other previous to the wedding. After marriage women are somewhat les restricted.

The Brazilians have the reputation of being very immoral. I wmm not say they are not. but I saw noth-nothing to support the reputation. One would see far more evidence of vice and immorality in New York in the same time. Cor.
