Where It Never Rains.

San Francisco Bulletin.
In Peru, South America, rain Is UNI
known. The coast OF Peru is within
the region OF perpetual southeast trade
winds, and, though the Peruvian shores
are Oh the verge Of the great southeast
boiler, yet it never rains there. The
reason is plain. The southeast trade
winds in the Atlantic Ocean first strike
the water on the coast OF Africa. Tray
cling 10 the northwest, they blow OBJ
liuuely across the ocean until they reach
the coast OF Brazil. BY this time they
are laden with vapor, which they con-
tinue to bear along across the continent,
depositing it as they go and supplying
with it the sources OF the Rio de la Plata
and the Southern tributaries Of the
Amazon. Finally they reach the snow
capped Andes; here is wrung from them
the last particle OF moisture that very
low temperature can attract. Reaching
the summit OF that range, they now
tumble down as cool and dry winds on
the Pacific Slope beyond. Meeting with
no evaporating surface, and no tempera-
turs colder than that to which they
we're subjected on the mountainous,
they reach the ocean. Thus We See how
the tops OF the Andes become reser-
voir from which are supplied the rivers
of Chill and Peru.

RUSSIA AIMING HERE.

England was termed by Napoleon
''the workshop Of the world" She de-
served and enjoyed that distinction for
many years. But New England has
been looming up Of late years In such
powerful opposition that she shares the
orders Of foreigners, for wal materials,
especially. The Turkish troops are
armed in the main with guns made In
New England, and consignments Of
arms from there are constantly arriv-
ing in Constantinople. Russia has al
ready q number Of brigades furnished
with improved New England rifles and
she is making additional purchases Of a
very extensive character. The Provi-
dence and Springfield gun factories are
engaged to their utmost capacity in
filling Russian orders. The gatling
guns, rifles and ammunition, as fast as
made, are shipped to Philadelphia
where they are put aboard the four i'm
ems war ships that were remodeled
for the czar's service. 1t is evident
that the fleet will sail for Europe when
each vessel has a full cargo.
or course English jealousy is aroused
at such proceedings. The vice consul
at Philadelphia, Mr.. Crump, puts in
his time taking observations. He has
photographed each of the vessels and
keeps up a constant correspondence
with British Minister Thornton, in
Washington, and will cable a report Of
the entire proceedings to Beaconsaeld.
The fact of Russia arming In our
waters places our government in a deli
cate position. Actual wal might be
declared before these four ships get
away from the American shore and
then it would be the duty of the govern
ment to detain them. But as long as
Russia and England are at peace, our
shipbuilders and gun manufacturers
are at liberty to furnish either nation
with all they want in these lines. Still,
with the rapid progress of events in
Afghanistan and the consequent
imminence Of nm Anglo-R Russian
conflict must make Evarts
somewhat nervous about the Rus
sian cruisers steaming out Of our
jurisdiction in time. Mr.. Evarts was
one Of the counsel of the United States
in the Alabama case at Geneva and he
well remembers his arguments on the
liability of England for its failure in
OBTAINING the Alabama. There is a
possibility Of the tables being turned
on him, but as Russia is too friendly
with the United States to get it into
trouble, there is hardly a probability.
