ductive part Of Ecuador. In my sixty
miles sail up the River Guyas to this
city I passed vast haciendas covered
with grass as green as the fields of
Egypt in winter, in which fat cattle,
horses and mules stood up to their
bellies and ate without having to bend
down to reach the grass. I passed
rich plantations of sugar cane, which
here grows to the height of ten feet,
and which grows for twenty-five years
without replanting. l saw vast cacao
orchards loaded down with the fruit
from which our chocolate comes. Tall
cocoanut palms bearing green balls of
fruit as big as your head swayed to
and fro high above the houses Of the
planters, and strange fruits Of so many
kinds that l cannot give you their
names were offered us again and again.
The wharves of Guayaquil are lined
with Ecuadorian natives, who have
brought fruit and other things to sell.
They have melons which come from
trees, known as the papoya. This fruit
is of the size of a large musk melon,
and when opened it's rich yellow flesh
seems much the same. There are
many trees here which bear fruit as
big as your head of one kind or an
ether. The buttons on your coat are
probably made Of vegetable ivory from
Colombia or Ecuador. This ivory Is
shipped from Guayaquil and Panama
in the shape of nuts, which look much
like chestnuts, save that each nut Is
as big as the fist Of g. two-year-
baby, and as hard as iron. These nuts

yelling out that they were awake. 1t
is a police regulation that every man
on watch shall cry out or whistle every
quarter Of an hour. The cry Is "El
sentinel es alerto," and the whistle is q
combination more wonderful than any
thing except the cry of the Guayaquil
frog, whose hi-hi-hi is screamed out all
night long. The Ecuadorian police are
soldiers. They carry swords and guns
and both look and act in the fiercest
manner. One of them almost dropped
his gun on my foot the other day as I
attempted to pass him. He said
'atrasw which, 1 suppose, means
back" AT least l backed and walked
around the other way. 1 have since
learned that no one may pass between
the police and the wall, but must go
outside the policeman. I suppose If
the policeman has to fight he prefers to
have the wall at his back.
Another regulation is that all people
out after II o'clock p. m. must give an
account Of themselves. The cry is,
who goes there?' and the answers
must be such that will satisfy the pc
lice or they will take you to Jail. I
doubt, in fact, whether there Is a place
in the world where it is so easy to
break into Jail as here. People are i'm
prisoned for debt, and it is a common
