progress which naturehas marked out FOR
It. The possibilities of the land are so
vast and undeniable that glance at its
geographical position will soon satisfy the
most skeptical.
'sThe republic embraces latitude of
33 degs., from the twenty-second parallel
to the fifty-fifth degree s., being some
$500 miles long and little over 500 miles
wide in the average. The total area ex-
ceeds 100000 square miles, The United
Kingdom, Germany, France Austria,
Hungary, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium,
Holland and Greece, all at once, could be
easily Accommodated within the territory.
1t covers semitropical, temperate and cold
zones, very much like the United States.
Its principal richness has consisted until
recent years of sheep and wool (about
100, ,OO0, 600 head), and cattle and hides
(about 100000 headD; but agriculture,
for which the soil is specially fitted, is de-
veloping at a gigantic pace, and the sur
plus of wheat and corn for export aug
ments yearly in a manner that bids fair to
place the Argentine as one of the great
cereal supplying countries.
"There are also many hidden resources
such as vast coal deposits, lately discov-
cred, silver, gold, lead and copper mines,
and the immense hard wood forests of the
Chaco region, covering an area larger than
that of England and Wales. The Argen-
tine Republic, whose population does not
yet reach 100000, wants more people to
gradually spread out and help exploit all
sources of production"
To my inquiry as to the fertility and pic
turesqueness of his country Mr.. Rohl said;
1.-The country is fiat toward the Atlantic,
and has comparatively little scenery worth
mentioning in this locality, except at the
delta of the Parana river, where hundreds
and hundreds of islands with rich and
luxurious vegetation offer a rare pictur-
sequences. But the mountainous parts,
toward the upper provinces bordering the
Andes Cordillera, are full of the most

this sort would impress one most nightly
with the magnitude of Uncle Sans pos

acter of his great coastline, and with the
energy, skill and generosity with which he
has set his beacons upon the rocks and the
shoals for the benefit of the mariners of all
nations who find it necessary to approach
his borders.

States, stands upon a bold and rocky prom

Charles Dudley Warner.

Charles Dudley Warner has recently
caused comment in the literary world by
his assertion that New York is about to be,
if it is not already, the literary center OF
America. He has written only one work
Of fiction. II collaboration with Mark
Twain he wrote The Gilded Age" but is
not fond of being reminded OF it, although
the profits are handsome. From this book
the play in which Raymond created the
character Of Mulberry Sellers was drama
tized, but Mr. Warner received none OF the
great profits of tie dramatiza.ion.

NATIONAL SUPREME COURT, BUENOS AYRES.
toric banking house of Barings was only
saved from suspension of payments by
other strong institutions.
In the United States this crisis in the
Argentine was also felt very seriously,
even though the commercial intimacy be-
tween the two American republics was not
great. But the business interests of the
world are SO bound up with one another
that an important happening even in a
remote commercial market is felt in all
other markets. Here many men who had
not much more than heard of the Argen-
tine had to abandon promising enterprises
on account of the happenings in Buenos
Ayres.
This crisis was the collapse of boom.
In the Argentine prices of every sort had
been unduly inflated and there was the
very fever Of speculation in the air. This
boom, like those that have been so disas-
trous in their effects in some of our west
ern and southern states, was boomerang
and hurt all who had to do with it. The
bankers who went to the assistance of the
Barings announce from time to time how
they are getting along in paying the in
debtedness of that firm, but we have not
heard much as to affairs in the Argentine
Republic. So to get authentic informa-
tion on this subject called the other day
on Mr.. Carlos Rohl, the consul general of
the Argentine Republic in New York.
That gentleman said:
''The crisis which shook the Argentine
Republic during the last year of President
Jaurez' regime of extravagant mismanage-

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, BUENOS A1RkS.
Visibility of setting lard to work became
quite apparent to the majority. And that's
why we see in the last five years (even in
cluding that of the crisis) such rcmarka-
BILE growth in all branches of trade. The
exports in 1884, compared with the exports
III 1885, have more than doubled. while in
railroads the same increase is noticed.
In 1886 we had only 4, 124 miles of rail
road, with coo miles in process of construc-
ton. In 1851 the railroad mileage was 7,29O,
while 1900 miles were being built.
And this rate Of increase is being kept up,
for if the half years of 1881 and 1892 be COM
pared it will be seen that the increase this
year has been II per cent. in imports, per
c.aas in exports, and 81 per cent. in Gus
toms duties. 1t is estimated that for the
whole year 1892 the exports may reach
$1OS,000.000.

work done by the people and demonstrates
that the country keeps on in the path of

Fine examples of the picturesqueness of
The far west coast arc found at Point Con-
,eption, Farallon and Point Reyes. The
irst named light stands upon high rock
1t the entrance to Santa Barbara channel.
It occupies a plateau about $50 feet above
The sea, and on the bluff, 140 feet higher,
Is an old adobe house and chapel which
looks like the seat of some monkish
brotherhood. The paths leading from the
plateau to the top of the ridge are worn as
white as snow in the rocks, forming marks
which the mariner could never mistake.
Farallon stands ON the highest peak of
,he Farallon Rocks, which guide mariners
20 the Golden Gate of San Francisco bay.
1t is probably the highest light Uncle Sam
has-that is. the greatest elevation above
she sea. This light can be seen at dis
sance of twenty-siX nautical miles, or a
greater distance than any other light on
the American continent, next to it in this
respect being the electric light on Liberty
Enlightening the World, in New York har-
Dor.
1t is q mistake to suppose, as most people
20, that the distance at which light can
be seen depends upon the brilliancy of it's
rays Brilliancy of the light adds to the
range of visibility only in thick weather,
and then the light is of little use at best,
and the fog siren comes into play. The
distance at which light can be seen de-
pends entirely upon its height above the
level of the sea, and the rotundity of the
earth being known as fixed quantity it
is q comparatively easy matter to calcu
late from the height of lantern how far
away it's light can be seen. For instance,
Farallon being visible at distance of
twenty-six miles must he about $40 feet
above the level of the sea. Liberty En-
tightening the World is visible 24A miles.
But in these distances it is calculated that
the eye of the observer is fifteen feet above
the level of the sea, as on g ships deck.

ment had its origin in the official strata.
1t has been pretty clearly demonstrated
since Jaurez's downfall that he and a great
number of his satellites had unusual busi-
ness opportunities to use the national
funds with an undue prodigality. 1t will
take a few years to set things right SO far
as the meeting of the obligations connected
with the public debt are concerned, and
this will be done with the support of every
citizen the day it is felt that the new gov
ernment represents honest and patriotic
purposes.
."'The people Of the Argentine are as
class very progressive, naturally bright
and quick and intelligent as business men.
There is certainly no lack of actual wealth
in the land, and every patriot would
quickly pledge goodly part of his private
fortune the sake of restoring the shat
tered credit the moment he could trust
implicitly in the good management of the
government.
"Strictly speaking, then" continued Mr..
Rohl, 1.-The crisis was essentially of a polit-
ico-financial character, for the business
community OF the republic, though con.
siderably affected by the official 'degringo-
lade,' continues to rejoice in the same credit
hitherto granted by Europeans, who are the
