bounded on the east by ranges OF the An
des and on the west by the Pacific Ocean.
To be more precise. Chill includes the mar
row strip OF land on the vest coast OF
South America, extending from Peru on
the north nearly TO Cape Horn, and
bounded on the west by Bolivia and Ar
gentina. In breadth this strip OF land
varies from 40 TO 200 miles, while
Its length Is 1900 miles.
Chill has a area OF 293, $40 square miles,
and its population In 1885 was 2,526, ,969.
From one end to the other IL IL country
? OF high mountains. whose tops are snow
clad the year through. It's coast line
affords but few good harbors. The best
one is that OF Talcahuano a little town OF
$500 inhabitants in the southern part OF
the coast line.
The harbor is well protected and has
ample room and depth OF water. Porto
Coqulmbo is the next harbor In point OF
safety. There are 5000 inhabitants in
this town, but seven miles inland is the
important city OF Coquimbo, the capital
OF the province. 1t has IL. 900 inhabitants
and Is the seat OF bishop.

The Moons Shape.

Referring TO the fact that photographs
Of the moon, taken at full, give that body
an egg shaped appearance, with the small
end pointing toward the earth, a recent
writer argues that this goes to prove that
planets nonglobular shars, as was indeed
to be expected. According TO this writer's
reasoning, matter at the surface Of the
moon is acted upon by two important
forces-the law OF gravity would arrange
the matter in globe around the center,
the moon alone considered, and the attrac-
ton OF the earth being always exerted in
the same direction relative to the moons
center, would constantly draw all fluid or
plastic matter To the side next the earth.
The sun shines not less than a25 hours
consecutively on any given point on the
moons surface, and IL is not propable that
water on the surface would remain frozen
under such continued sunshine, so that the
fluid parts OF the moons surface, obeyng
the constantly acting force that generates
the tides on the earth. have long since
gathered themselves together on that side
OF the moon nearest the earth. This idea,
IL is claimed, Is not inconsistent with any
thing developed by the shadow of the moon
IN eclipses. nor with any known fact.

The most important harbor on the Chill
Ian coast is that OF Valparaiso. The town,
which has population OF 97,737, Is on n
bay OF semi-circular form, which is capa-
BILE OF accommodating a very large fleet.
IT Is well sheltered on the east, south, and
west, but toward the north Il is exposed.
The greater part OF the town is built on
the eides OF hills sloping down TO the
waters edge. On the whole IL affords as
good target for man-of-war's guns as
can be found on the coast of the conti-
nent. On March 81. 1866, IL was bombarded
by Spanish squadron under Admiral
Nufiez, and large part Of 1t was ruined.
The loss to the town was estimated at
S10 1873, 900.
The climate OF Chill, although Il is one
OF tho finest on the globe. seems to have
an indolent, apathetic effect on the people.
The Chilians possess the proud distinc-
tion OF being as lazy a nation of people as
exists to-day. They are not n long-lived
people, the average duration Of life being
less than in more variable climates.
Chill is great country for earthquakes.
A record OF twenty-five months shows 156
separate and distinct shocks. These
shocks do not as a rule do much damage,
but they frighten tho life out Of the
Chilians for week.

PLENTY OF FooD FOR TROOPS.
How Navy and Army Would he Fed In
Case OF War.


Case OF War.
There is no danger that the navy will
run short OF provisions in case war Is de.
clared against Chilli. Although at present
there are enough canned food-stuJs In the
storehouses in the Brooklyn Navy Yard
to last for five or six years with every
man and boy in the navy eating his whole
ration OF food daily. one Of the first orders
Issued by the Navy Department would be
to the storekeepers OF the Brooklyn Navy
Yard to buy up all the provisions they can
get their eyes on. and that within q very
few days. In week the storekeepers
would have enough provisions on hand to
stand a seige OF any length.
Suppose war was declared with Chill,
what would be done2" asked reporter OF
paymaster there.
"Orders would come from Washington
to this department Immediately to buy
UP all the provisions We could. Under or.
binary circumstances we advertise for
bids for furnishing provisions, but In the
event OF war we would do away with that
business, go TO the contractors from whom
we get most Of our provisions, and make
contracts with them for an enormous
amount OF food-stuffs. In very few days
all would be hustle and hustle here.
Wagons loaded down with -four would fol-
low one another down this avenue to the
storehouses. Great loads of beef and pork
and biscuit would be brought over from
New York and put into the storehouses."
Where does the department get the
most OF Its stores2"
Right here in this part Of the country.
The food-stuffs come from all over the
country to the merchants over In New
York. We deal with these latter through
contractors. An ordinary man-of-war
carries only six or seven months provis-
ions. The amount depends upon how
many men there are on board OF her and
how big she is. It takes but a very short
time to provision a ship for service.
There is a regular ration book, and Just
as soon as orders come to provision ship
we get that down and find out how many
men there are on board OF her and for
how long she Is to be provlsioned and
then we know just how much to put on
board
The men are all we'll fec, and but very
few OF them ever eat at one meal all that
Ia put before them. At sea they are al
lowed all sorts OF canned meats and vege-
tables. They get plenty OF good pork and
beef and biscuit that is baked here before
tho ship sails away. A great quantity OF
Hour is also put on board Of the ship, and
the men get ratlons OF it when they want
TO make fresh biscuits for themselves.
The paymaster on board ship always
carries letter OF credit, generally on
England. When the ship gets to q port
and provisions run short the paymaster
goes ashore, sells his notes to banker
for the money current In the country and
buys more provisions"
