MARVELLOUS COUNTRIES.

Such Are tho Republics of Costa Rica
and Nicaracua-A Great Future in
store for Persons of Moderate Means
Something Alb gut the Climate and Gem
al Nature of the Lands.
The Central Americ IN republics of Costa
Rica and Nicaragua are in many respects
the most wonderful countries on the face of
the EARTH Nowhere has nature bestowed
her favors with more lavish hand, fact
which is just now being brought promi-
nently to the notice of the whole civilized
world, owing more particularly to the Wig
orous prosecution OF the work of construc-
ton of the Nicara.uan canal, along the
northern border of Costa RIGA and southern
border of Nicaragua, the most important
undertaking of the nineteenth century. The
interoceanic canal, while shortening the
distances of the world and rendering the
commercial ties between Europe, Asia and
America closer and stronger, will also at
tract to Costa Rica and Nicaragua the
wealth and enterprise of all parts OF the
globe. A few facts relative to their Won
deriul climate and resources, just now be-
ing made more available. by the compile
ton of their railroads. will prove interest
ing: Although these republics. geograph-
lcally speaking, are tropical countries,
their climate is not tropical except
on the coast, and even there the
heat is not excessive except at unusual
times. being tempered by The trade winds
and sea breeZes. Over one halt OF the area
OF the republics have all altitude of from
1000 to $500 1eet above sea level. The tenn
perature on the high lands is simply per-
feet. not varying 10 deg. throughout the
year-a continual spring time and never
ending harvest. The wealth Of their unde-
veloped mines, and their magnificent or
ests OF mahogany, rosewood, ebony, dye
woods and other valuable woods are be-
You'd computation. Their agricultural
resources are immense. Coffee, sugar cane
and cocoa are staple products and yield
large returns. Vast fortunes are made in
gathering india rubber. Fisuratively, the
rubber trees OF both Costa RIGA and Nicara-
qua are gold mines. which require no
shafts no machinery, no costly expert
ments. no guesswork and practically no
risk of labor. The supply of india rubber
has been compelled to look to Central and
South America for the bulk OF its supply.
According to United States government re-
ports. the net annual profits from one acre
OF coffee is from $500 to $500. A sixty acre
banana plantation will return at the end of
the second year net profit of $18 900.
Costa Rica and Nicaragua. by reason OF
their geographical position, their climate,
institutions, the nature of their produc-
tons, and the hearty welcome their inhabi-
tants give ell foreigners, afford induce.
ments greater than any other country tor
foreign capital and labor to come to their
territories and aid i'll developing such
wealth and prosperity as it is difficult to
describe. Men OF small means cuEnot do
better than post themselves fully regarding
these wonderful republics. and the most
practical and feasible plan ofinvesting is in

perlence aud prestige will secure advantages
