sumed here every year, while we do not
sell $4,000 worth. If our cotton factors
"cu,d study the market and make the
goods these people want they could easily
get this trade, for our cottons are better
than the English. There are practically
no iron manufactures in Ecuador, and all
iron work and hardware must be imported
mere are few water mills near Quito
which weave cotton, linen and wooden
goods, and also silk hat factory, for the
Quito sweils all wear plug hats and black
kid gloves
Here at Guayaquil there are a number of
chocolate factories, which grind up the
cocoa beans and make them into the choco-
iate OF commerce. AS to lumber, | doubt if
there is modern sawmll or planning estab-
iishment i'll the country. Such boards as !
nave seen made have been sawed out by
nand from the logs, one man standing on
top OF the log and pulling the saw, while
ailother below furnishes the force for the
downward strokes The most of the Ium-
per used on the coast and on this river is
Drought here from Oregon and Puget
sound, and 1T often sells as high az In
cents a foot. Georgia pine is bronpbt
around Cape Horn, a distance / Judge of
about 5000 miles. All imported lumber
pays duty of about a cent for every eight
pounds, and, in addition to this one of no
per cent ad valorem. Our chief exports to
Ecuador are lumber, lard kerosene flour
and barbed wire for fencing The great dis
advantage that the United States has in
competing with Europe is in the high
freight rates, and in the fact that the
Americans do not drum up their trade by
means of commercial travellers as the
Europeans do. France or England can
send goods to the ports of Ecuador for %
shliiings, or about $6.25 a ton. The freight
rate from New York around the Horn is
2Ils cents a cubic foot, or nearly S12 in
gold per ton, while the rates by the 18TH
mus of Panama are fully one-thrd more
The exchange on New York is about : per
cent higher than on London, SO that the
american exporter labors under decided
disadvantages. When an isthmian canal is
bullt this will be all changed in favor Of
the United States. and the trade of this
western coast of South America will come
to us. FRANK G. CARPENTER.

to purchasers on a pair of American scales.
1t costs the government l am told. about
90 cents hundredweight to make it, and
its price at the warehouses Is almost =
cents pound. The revenue from this
source amounts to about s20O,OO0 year.
Ecuador has now a public school system,
but only about one-tenth of the people,
have said. can read ard write. There are
in the country in the neighborhood Of 1890
primary schools and also number of those
of higher grades. The children in these
schools all study out loud, and the din is as
great as that of the schools of China.
Quito has a university. largely managed b.,
Jesuits. and there is also college at the
city of Cuenca. Here at Guayaquil there
are two newspapers. both of which get
short cable dispatches. The papers are
cried by newSboy3 on the streets. They are
Printed on old American presses from type
made in the United States, although their
paper and ink come, am told. from Ger
many. Among the other institutions of
Ecuador are a hospital here and a hospital
lunatic and leper asylum at Quito. The
cemetery at Quito is on the pgeon-hole
system. You rent a box in the wall for
your coffin. and 1t stays there as long as
your relatives friends pay the rent.
When the pay stops the authorities pull out
the coffin and dump the remains into
great cistern adjoining the cemetery. a
similar custom prevails in the cemetery of
the city of Guanahuato in Mexico where
the bones of the delinquent dead are shov-
eled away into a great vault. where they lie
piled up like so much corn in granary.
They Trade I'm Human Heads.
The bulk of the population of Ecuador is
made up of Indians. There are 10000 In
dams in the republic who have never been
subdued, and some of the savages upon the
Napo river. which flows through the east
ern part of Ecuador into the Maronon are
less known than the people of interior
Africa. Some of these tribes shoot their
enemies with poisoned arrows, using blow
guns made of reeds. They send the arrows

OIL FROM THE SEA.
1t Is Pumped From the Ocean on tho
California Coast

- 40 u"peu FROM the ocean On the
California Coast.
From the Scientific American.
The early settlers In California were ia
miliar with indications of the existence
of oil which were seen at various points
along the coast, while asphaltum, which
oozed up from beds at the bottom of the
sea, formed an important factor in the
household economy Of the aborigines, and
In almost eve:y Lurial place on the coast
esphaltIm is found. The natives on the
Islands obtained their supply from the
water. and at the present day the rocks
at various places can be seen splasned
with asphaltum which has drifted In This
is particularly noticeable after an east
wind, showing that there Is a large area
In the deep Santa Catalina channel from
which asphaltum oozes up.
OIL wells were sunk at Santa Paula some
years ago, and, later. an oil-producing
belt was discovered at Puente, and again
at Summerland. below Santa Barbara,
where singular state of affairs exists.
1t soon became apparent at the latter
locality that the oil-bearing stratum
stretched out into the sea, and drill scat
folding. looking like windmills without
sails. began In a short time to extend down
the little canyon and to creep up the shore
In the direction of Santa Barbara At
first they kept along the sides of the hills
which breast the sea there; but gradually
thay turned seaward until one more ad-
venturous than the rest rose from the
water.
Work was started at an extremely low
tide, and finally the tall scaffolding ap-
peared twenty or thirty feet from the
shore, rising from the sea. At present
there are three borings. which even at
low tide are in the water, but at flood
tide are completely surrounded, the men
working on platforms of various heights
which they successfully ascend as the sea
rises.
The drills are worked in the water from
an engine on the beach, the fuel being
the oil pumped up. This is probably the
only place where oil Is pumped out of the
sea, but undoubtedly the entire coast over
lies an oil-produciEg stratum.
OF what Is known as Mores wharf half
a mile out oil rises to the surface In sew
eral places. spring OF fresh water also
rushes up there with such velocity that
1t can be taken up and used II the slightly
brackish taste Is not objected to. SINH

coast

than the one on my table and the features
were German in cast, while on the chin was
a beard of the same brick dust hue as that
of the German explorer. From native
sources l learn that the Indians cure the
heads after they have removed the bones
by filling them with hot pebbles and pass
ing them from hand to hand, pressing them
so carefully inward that in shrinking they
do not lose their shape. After this they
are baked in the sand and SO treated that
they will last for ages. The skin of the
neck Of this head Is about one-sixth of an
inch thick. Its pretty ears are about the
size OF silver quarter, and as push back
its hair and look at its closed eyes almost
fear that it will open them and glare at me.
The Indians of Ecuador.
The most of the Indians of Ecuador are
semi-civilized. We have, it is estimated
about 100000 Indians in the United States.
Ecuador has 10000 Indians in a total pop-
uiation of 1.25O.OOO. the remainder of the
Inhabitants being made up Of 100 600 whites

from one of them is sure death. 1t IS in
this same region that dried heads of hui
man beings are cured for sale AS l write
these words a human head, cut OFF just he
low the chin, lies on the table before me.
Whether it is that of a man or q woman l
do not know, but its hair is as long. as
black and as silky as the hair of any bru-
nctte belle who reads this letter. When L
photographed il a few minutes ago. hold
ing it in my hand before the camera, the
black strands hung down almost a yard
below my fist, and the hair was so thick
that / could hardly grasp it all The
head is one of the famous dried heads of
the Ecuadorian Indians who live on the
eastern slope Of the Andes. They have for
ages adopted this method of picking or
curing the heads of their enemies, and 1
have been told that such a demand has
existed among the foreigners for the heads
as curiosities that within recent years the
Indians have been killing their friends and
relatives as well in order to supply it. The
EcuadOrian government has recently pass
ed a law making it a crime to buy or sell
such heads, and the severest penalties are
imposed on those who engage in the traffic
Still, 1 offered this head for 800 in
gold and | could buy several more "a the
same price. | don't think l shall take il.
1t is, however. a wonderful thing. All of
the bones have In some way been taken
out of it, and the flesh, skin and hair of
the head only left. In parting the hair at
the back l see stitches, and it is evident
that the skin was cut open here to get out
perfect as it was in life only the whole
head is SO shrunken that it is not much
larger than base ball. Its color is per-
fectly black The eyes are closed, the
forehead, over which the dark hair hangs,
is low, ard the nose is almost that of
regro in shape. The lips, which We're once
full, sensuous and voluptuous, are sewed
together with long cotton strands, which
hang down like macreme fringe, and the
chin has a pronounced dimple in it, which,
/ doubt not, once smiled at its sweetheart
and friends Whether it's owner was killed
by treachery or in battle no one knows.
How the Heads Are Cured.
The method of curing the heads is also a
mystery. 1t is said that a administered
German came out to Ecuador some years
ago determined to learn the process. He
went to Quito and then made his way east
ward to the Indian country. Since then he
has never been seen, but it is said that
about three months after his disappear
ance head beautifully cured was brought
in for sale 1t was of a lighter complexion

he gravely took the bowl and rubbed it
