almost in the midst of the vast nitrate
fields of Chile like unto which there is
nothing on the face of the earth.
Leaving the silver mining town of Oruro.
Bolivia, / came down the mountains on the
little narrow gauge which connects that
town with the seaport of Antofag asta. The
distance is 500 miles or about as great as
that between New York and Cleveland. The
track is only two feet six inches wide and
the road is. 1 believe. the longest one of
tfis gauge in the world. The cars are of
the American style. having been built in
Massachusetts. The seats on side of
ths car are not wider than a kitchen chair
. and on the other, where they are supposed
10 hold two, not more than thirty inches
Il was. in fact, more like riding in q toy
car than on the through trunk line which
forms the only rail cCnne elton between two
great countries. Still the road is smooth
and well laid Its ties are OF Oregon pine
and the stations upon 1t are as a rule built
OF corrugated iron from Europe. The fares
are exceedingly nigh 1 paid 81 silver dol
lars for my ticket, and in addition s36
extra baggage, as nothing whatever is al
lowed free. Ny meals at the dining sta
items each cost me $50 in silver, and when
j stopped at night, as l was forced to do
twice on the road, the hotel rates were 81
per day. The chief purpose of the road is
10 carry the silver and other metals to the
seacOast. The most of the cars of our
train were loaded with little chunks of
silver ore, and we passed train loads
Of tin its way to the Pacific 1t
vas a ride. through desert. Shortly
after leaving Oruro we entered the salt
plains of Bolivia These are of vast ex-
tent lining the road for hundreds of miles.
In fact there are but few places between
Oruro and the sea where the ground is
not more or less mixed with salt, and IN
some districts 1t covers the land like a sheet
of dirty white snow.
Mantle of Salt
Along some parts of the line 1t looks hard
and icy, and you feel like jumping off the
cars fer 4 skate. At others 1t lies in guilies
and again it only sprinkles the ground and a
ragged growth of scrubby vegetation strug-
giles up through it The road runs for
nearly the whole OF its lergth through a
desert valley, and this salt reaches away
on each side to the hills Here and there
along the road are lakes upon which seem
TO be floating great cakes of ice. The
cakes are not ice. however. They are
borax, and in the great bOrax lake of
Ascotan, Bolivia, there is enough borax to
wash the heads of all humanity. This lake
has, ii is estimated, more than 100000 tons

factory. This Usually stands In the midst
or the fields. 1t is collection of buildings
with great smokestacks rising above them.
1t contains thousands OF dollars worth of
costly machinery, vast tanks for boiling
the nitrate rock, crCshers like those of
sHeiter to break 1t to pieces and settling
watts in which the. liquor containing the
pure nitrate of soda is left until 1t has
dropped its burden of valuable salt. The
nitrate rock of the Aqua Santa fields as
We saw it blasted out of the earth has only
about 40 per cent of nitrate of soda in 1t.
me nitrate sent to the markets is from 10
to GO per cent pure and the rock must be
so treated as to bring about this result.
This is done by boiling the rock just so
much and no more. The crushers reduce
the caliche TO pieces about two inches
thick, and it is then taken to the boiling
tanks, which are situated in a building
perhaps fifty feet above the ground These
tanks are each big enough to form bath
tub for an elephant They are twenty-four
feet long, nine feet wide and eight feet
deep. In them there are coils of pipe into
which steam is running, raising the tenn
perature of the fluid in the tank to any de-
sired point. The caliche is carried in cars
up an inclined railway and dumped into
the tanks Then water is admitted and is
allowed to flow from tank to tank In such
a way to act to the best advantage
OF the salts within. The nitrate of soda
will remain in solution at 4 lower tenn
perature than other salts. This fact and
others of q scientific nature are taken ad-
vantage of, everything being done with
the greatest care, and the result Is that
when the liquor is drawn eff nearly all
of the pure nitrate of soda in the rock
gees with it. 1t flows from the boiling
tanks into other tanks, which lie In the
open air at lower level. 1t now looks
for all the world like pale maple molasses
or thick lemon syrup. In a short time 1t
begins to crystalline and the tank is half
sugar, which is really almost pure nitrate
of soda. This is now -shoveied into piles,
whence it is bagged up in sacks of 800
pounds each and hauled on the railroad TO
the seaceast to be shipped of to the United
States or to Europe.
Lessons in Economy.
After the salts have settled in the tanks
the liquor which lies on top still contains
a large amount of nitrate. 1t Is conveyed
back to the boiling tanks and is loaded
with ore nitrate by being flowed over the
fresh rock I shall not describe the tech
meal details of the process, which is COM
plicated in the extreme. They were eX-
planned to me by Mr.. James T. Humber
stone, the manager of the Aqua Santa
Ofcina. the man who Is perhaps of all the
nitrate managers the best posted upon such
matters. l will only say that the greatest
care is taken to get every atom of nitrate
out of the rock at the lowest possible cost
and that l was again and again surprised
at the careful study which has been taken
to save every cent in product and labor

The most disastrous hurricane ever
known in that region has swept over
the Windward group of the Lesser An

persons, rendering 10000 others Home
less, and inficting damage to prop
erty which is, at present writing, be-.

full capital city of the island of st. Vim
cent, was almost wholly destroyed;
the island of st. Lucia, the largest and
most picturesque in the group, in adj
dition to the wind, a tidal wave and
tremendous rains, was injured by nu-
merous landslides; and the island of
Barbados, the most windward of the
group, and the headquarters Of the
British government in the West Indies,
was ravaged for ten, hours, and the
area of cultivation was completely OBJ
liberated. The destruction was the

3 WOMAN HORSE. BREAKER.

Meets Success by Never Showing the
Fear OF Her Mount.
It is universally agreed that even a
8homely woman who has mastered the
art of equestrianism looks well when
in the saddle. When the rider is pref
ty and sits her horse with ease and
grace OF course the beauty Of the pic
ture is much enhanced. Hence it is
that Mrs. Annie Benson, wife Of pros
porous farmer living near Fowbles-
burg, Nd is regarded by all who know
her to be an exceedingly pretty sight
When seated on her fayorite thorough
bred mare. Mrs. Benson is a slender,
sblue-eyed country woman Of we'll
rounded figure and has been riding
horses almost ever since she can re-
member anything. She began riding
when she was 5 years old, and ner
father used to put her on the back Of a
great animal while he guided the plow
behind. She has broken colts. been
kicked and bitten by horses, thrown
out Of buggies and had divers other ex-
periences of the kind, but has never
been thrown from the back of horse.
Mrs. Benson says, in discussing the
difficulties which confront girls just be-
ginning to ride: .'The entire secret Of
being good rider, think, lies in not
being afraid of your horse. This is the
one great ESSENTIAL, but there are some
other things just as necessary to know.
When a girl gets on horse, if she is
in the least bit frightened, the horse
knows it, and that knowledge has de-
moralizing effect upon it, especially if
it happens to be thinking horse. I
used to wear very long skirt until one
day. a horse was riding caught it's
hind foot in the skirt and tore it off
me. Since then / have ridden with a
skirt of walking length and find it
much better. I do not think it would
help a girl much to ride astride like
man in managing her horse. I have
ridden that way; but I felt that if a
horse started to run could not stop
him at all. II am breaking two colts
now that will make beauties. One was
two years old on May 20 and the other
a few months older. My method OF
training is hard to describe. simply
put the bride and saddle on them and
then get on myself. When l am once
in the saddle I know they can't get
me out. / ride one Of them every day,
sometimes six or seven miles. OF
course they are so young that make
them travel very slowly and never
allow them to run, for fear of weaken
| ing their backs 1t is not customary to
break colt before he is three years
old, but these were such big fellows
that thought they could stand it,
