long terms, and the lender cannot get
it again just as he wants it. Even
when the mortgage becomes due, it
often proves difficult and even impos-
sible to sell the security and realize the
amount loaned. But when men lend
money for three per cent in Wall street
they take United States bonds AS Sc

it back whenever the lender calls for
it. If he Is unable to pay according
to his agreement, the bonds can be

secured and is termiaable whenever
the lender desires that the rate of IN.
tcrest is so low. Besides. the transac-
ton is made here On the spot, with no
papers except simple power of attor-
, ney, and it entails no anxiety upon the
lender. The case is very different, as
our correspondent will understand,
when the money is sent out to the
West to be loaned on mortgages, at
long and fixed periods. Then agents
must be employed and paid, and there
is delay, trouble, and risk throughout.

money in great cities, is that business
is paralyzed; -; that there are no enter

an invitation from the Government OF
Costa Rica to take charge of an investiga-
ton into the resources of that country.
lie has since been actively engaged i'm the
prosecution of the work i'm the regions
bordering on the Atlantic slope. His last
report announces the completion of the
geological and chronological survey of the
district Of Talamanca. Prof Gabb has,
with four assistants. besides Indian labor
ers, carefully examined a tract of about
1000 square miles, extending from the
borders of civilization on the north to the
boundaries of Panama on the south, and
from the Atlantic TO the crest of the Cor
dilleras, and has mapped its entire extent
with more accuracy than has marked the
delineation OF any other equal area of Costa
Rica. not excepting the most populous.
His nport of this district gives !. body
of .i"-' worthy statistics regarding an az
ricultIral country sufficiently large, fer
tile and healthfnl, to support the entire
population OF Costa Rica; and vet this
region is inhabited by only .22G Indians
and twelve foreigners, of whom but one
is white. Ii Is watered by river naviga-
bic the year round, and reaching to within
30 miles OF the most remote portion of the
country. In addition 10 the statistics of
the survey proper, Prof. Gabb has gath
cred information regarding the mineral re-
sources of the region. and its animal and
vegetable life. Immense collections have
been forwarded by him to the Smithsonian
Institution. for identification. Among
these are 100 specimens Of monkeys, with
individuals OF other mammals, birds, etc..

into the ethnology of the country have
resulted In rich collections, likewise sent

The vanilla bean grows on vine which,

around which it clings by means of its
thousands of fine tendrils. Like all para

adapted to its support. They are planted
about ten feet apart, i'm rows, AT the foot of
small trees which are left in clearing the
