hundred miles, to find @ breathing spot" during the heated term. Summer homes dot the hillside far above the cities of the coast. Some of the estates are gigantic in size, while many are small The architect has had little to do with making these places gardens. Nature has provided for them, and with the exception of constructing the houses there is no work needed from the archi- tect to make the places veritable para discs. To add to their charm they are but a few miles from the cities and are reached over good roads after a short drive.
 Like all the West India islands, Porto Rico has many drawbacks. Among these are the wild animals-snakes, which grow to an enormous size, and mice and rats, which destroy the rice and sugar cane. These, however, are not to be compared with the diseases, which include yellow fever, elephantiasis, marsh fever, tetanus and dysentery. The first and last of these plaques are the most prevalent, and while they are continually lurking in the lowlands few malignant cases are found. The coun- try has a natural drainage, and if the cities were fitted with modern sanitary appliances there is little doubt that these diseases could be stamped out in a little while None of the cities has any sani- tary appliances, but are constructed on the plan of those in the other West In- dia islands, and until they are recon- structed disease will prevail. However, with that energy of the Americans which has placed them in the front rank as sanitationists, these changes will be made rapidly, and the new possession will be turned into an Eden.
 Of the wild animals of Porto Rico the dogs and armadillos are the most dan- gerous, but the island has become com- paratively free from them, as the snakes and wild hogs, which are their natural enemies, have destroyed them. It is really a wonderful sight to get on the top of one of the higher hills and watch the panorama as the last rays of the sun send their dying flashes above the horizon and the shadows of the twilight

visitors have to contend with and in great measure detract from the charms and beauties of the place.
 It is not until one has set foot on land that he really becomes impressed with the quaint buildings and habits of the natives, the wonderful beauty of the island and its queer general make up. What seemed to be rolling hills from the sea are now successive tablelands, gradually leaning toward the center of the island as they increase in height. In appearance the island resembles a four sided pyramid, with it's apex cov- cred by the clouds.
 Along the coast the climate is intense ly hot, and if it were not for the re- freshing sea breeze of the eastern trade winds the island would be almost unin- habitable. These in a great measure re- lieve the suffering. The thermometer has registered as high as IF degrees in the shade, but the average temperature during the day is about 97 degrees, while at night it begins to fall until the aver age is about 6S degrees. AS one goes from the coast cities into the foothills the heat begins to lose its fierceness, and in some of the higher plateaus the climate is temperate. One advantage the island has over our northern country is that the climate is steady and one knows what kind of weather to expect at all times. When you go out in the morn- ing, you need not fear a blizzard before returning at nightfall. There are but two seasons, the rainy and dry, and they come with equal regularity, bring ing with them their pests, one with an- imals and insects, the other with dis eases for, although nature endowed the island generously with beautiful things, she also left some to be summed.
 Strange as 1t may seem and although the interior of the island is far healthier than the coast, all of the larger cities are on or near the waters edge, where most of the population live, leaving the interior with a few sparsely settled vil- lages strewn about over the hillsides or near the main government road, which runs from one end of the island to the other, distance of about 100 miles. The

steal along the shores and up the hill- sides, changing in colors as the sky loses it's brightness and night begins. Gaudy plumed birds dart from tree to tree, calling to their mates, while in the lowands the firefiies send out their light, and along the coast the breakers dash against the shore, sending in their spray phosphorescent lights that look like jewels. The sight is one long to be remembered, but the charm is broken when you descend into the city and vis- it the casino. Here the men are to be found drinking and gambling, while the women sit together in the plaza and listen to the dreamy music of the fort band, which, with the exception of an opera few times a year, is the only diversion, aside from home amusements, they have. They seldom go on visits or leave their homes for any purpose.
 The men as a rule are indolent and would rather spend their time preparing for the coming holiday or at their fa- vorite sport, which is gambling. than work. It is not to be expected that the riches of the country would be devel- oped by men who usually do not even till their own fields.
 With the influx of American energy and capital matters will change. The cities will be relieved of their pests, and improvements will be made. The hidden treasures of the hills and valleys will be sought out and worked, and with the stars and stripes flying over the island Porto Rico will be a possession we'll worth having.

the Porto Ricans and turned their thoughts to war and revolution. The fields were left untitled by the natives, who met and spent their time most un- successfully and unprofitably in devis- ing means to find relief from the tyran- ny of the Spaniards. who ruled them with "a rod of iron.'
 As the visitor hears the island he is impressed with it's surroundings, and especially in the dry season, when the cloudless sky and the sea are or the same hue. Glinting along the shore one sees the little harbors with their towns dotting the coast and backed by the gradually rolling hills, increasing in height as they go inland until the high est peak, Fl Yungen of about $500 feet above the sea level, is lost in the mist. All the hills have a black, uninviting appearance, but as the coast is ap- D, sched they change from black to green and are seen to be covered with forests whose trees abundantly sup piled with foliage, seem to nod a vel come in the scent laden breeze. As the ship passes along the warm winds from offshore tell the visitor it is time to shed woolen clothing for the cooler linen which is worn almost exclusively in the tropics.

of which are yet to be brought to light from the hidden fastnesses of the noun tains and the valleys and beds of the swift running streams which are nu- merous throughout the island, nearly all the harbors are protected by high hills and landlocked. The channels at the entrances to these ports are of sufficient depth to admit the largest vessels af1oat and while some are very narrow most of them are broad enough to allow several ships to pass in or out abreast.
 As the vessel enters a harbor in Porto Rico the visitor is impressed not only with the height of the surrounding hills and the inevitable frowning fortress looking down on the ship through the muzzles of the guns, some of which were mounted many centuries ago, but with the many odd looking buildings with their gayly painted sides and roofs that dot the shore and gradually be- come fewer in number as they reach up the hillsides. The houses are very diff ferent in architecture from those of our own country. They are low structures and would make a striking contrast with the skyscrapers of modern times. While they are built of stone they are painted in pink, blue, yellow and nearly all the colors of the rainbow.
 Another striking feature of the build ings is the absence of chimneys, and hardly window glass is to be found throughout the island. The windows

 have balconies, shaded from the glare Of the sun by awnings, and the cooking is done in open ovens away from the houses.
 When the ship has come to anchor off the city and the "sea ladder" has been placed over the side, she is visited by customs officials, and while they are as little welcome as such officers usually are they are more appreciated than the visitors preceding them, who begin to alight on the vessel as the land is ap- preached. Usually the customs agents remain on the ship but a few minutes, while the others, which come in large fiocks and consist of mosquitoes, sand flies, fieas and gnats, remain with the vessel, causing great discomfort among those on board. These little insects, conn ing as they do in large numbers, are the most disagreeable annoyances that

villages that one does find in the inte- rior of the country, however, repay the visitor for his trouble in hunting them out. There are but few railroads on the island, and these are of the type of early days. Most of the travelling Is done on horseback or in carriages, the latter of which are scarce and have seen their best days. The horses are native ani- mals and, although small, are hardy beasts, capable of travelling great dis tances without fatigue.
 These animals are found in great numbers on the island, and when the better class, who live in the cities dur ing the dry season, go to their sum mer" homes in the hills during the rainy season there is no hustling ones family into a crowded railroad train, to be nearly suffocated with the heat or blinded by cinders and dust for several

From the hilltops to the shore the blackness stands out between the sky and sandy beach, the brightness of which is made more dazzling by the rays of the tropical sun streaming re- lentlessly down on it and the flashing into foam of the breakers tumbling over each other as they hurry to spend their force. Here and there along the coast are seen rocky promontories whose jag ged edges and sides are covered with moss until they reach the wash of the sea. They are ugly looking things, and their treacherousness has been felt by many sailing craft which have been fouled by their edges hidden below the water or dashed to pieces against their sides in stormy weather.

full existence, for from the time the Spanish flag was unfurled on its grace full hills and over its landlocked harbors a continual strife has been kept up either within its borders or by nations who made every endeavor to wrest 1t from the hands of the Dons. Spain, however, has held it with but one inter
 ruption continuously from the time 1t
 was discovered. Porto Rico has had but few years of peace, and these were spent in expectation. Waited on the breezes from the surrounding islands, and especially from Cuba, come the sounds of revolution and dissatisfaction and the cry to be liberated from the hands of oppression. The determination of the Cubans to gain their liberty and to govern themselves and the continual uprisings and revolutions in Haiti and Santo Domingo unsettled the peace of
