chance which the revolution has produced
on the price of goods, yet the advantage 10
She upper classes has been much more eA-
tensivey felt, for they are not only greater
purchasers, Dut have more nome proeucc

both high and low, share, though not cqual-

On the 5th of January, 1921, ! set out tor
Santiago, the capital OF Chin IN company
with Il naval officer, who, having been scv-
era years on the South American STATION,
proved most useful guide, both from MS
knowledge OF the country, and from ms gen
eral information. AS the roads IN Chill are
unfit for carriages, all travelling is on hore-
Ibacl, and the ordinary pace being hard
GALLON, the changes are necessarily frequent.
The only wheeled vehicle i'll use is large
numbering cart, or Wagon drawn by SIX OF
eight oxen at very slow rate; but the
transport Of goods from the port to the cap
itai. and thence all over the country, is per-
formed by mules of an excellent breed.
Our Journey WAS injudiciously arranged,
for, instead Of taking one half OF 1t carly
the morning, and the orher N the even
ING. we travelled in the middle of the day
when the heat to Which we were exposed
was intense. The whole country seemed
burnt up; the sun famed out, as 1t were,
with bright glare over every thing, raising
hot air from the ground like the breath OF
, an oven; not a blade OF grass was any where
, to he seen; not drop OF moisture; every
thing was parchcd and withercd along the
, baked ground, which was riyen INTO immune
, rable creyices; no breeze OF wind came tc
4 relieve us, and the oppression OF thc eiiiiiate
was almost i9tolerab!c
In the course OF the morning we passed
several ridges Of hills, and here and there
G the eve was gladdencd by the sight OF scn
, der strip Of green, pointing out the cours'
Of some mo4ntain stream. Between tn
ridres. which rose 10 the height OF sevcra
: thousand feet, we observed plains, surround
: cd bv th1 high grounds, suggesting the ldci
e of lakes having once stood there.
j. On crossing one Of these ranges, we dis
covered party OF muletccrs, who hat
! sought shelter from the heat OF the sun, I'm
a der Il grove OF lofty trees, on patch OF Sras
i bv the side OF a riyulct, which dashed iron
IN rock to rock, and gave delicious FRESHNESS
!. to the air. Their mules, to the number {
70 fitty, were arranged in circle, each tie
\, by the halter to his load, placed on tn
ii ground. The muletecrs begged us to dis

~ same time, some Of their cool ulpa to drink
