of quinine and morphine furnished him

l became very much attached to this
little hero and kept him with me as
long as | remained in western Cuba.
Upon the return of the boat from
the Isle Of Pines | at once set about
arranging for my transportation. This
was no easy matter, as the captain,
who was likewise purser and freight
clerk, in response to my inevitable
query Of "QuantO vale?" was unable to
demonstrate either by words or signs
the requisite amount OF cash for my
passage. Finally. in despair, offered
him my wallet from which he proceed
ed to help himself, apparently accord
ing to his own ideas of traffic rates.
However, he left me some small
change, upon perceiving which, and not
having, up to that time, made any ad-
ditions to my original stock of ex-
pressions, l said, somewhat lamely,
"Mucho gracias." Then, as l sauntered
aboard, l caught myself wondering
wherefore the skipper had smiled so
broadly. Upon landing with my outfit
at Nueva Corona, Isle Of Pines, a few
hours later, | found myself an object
OF much curiosity among the natives.
None OF them could speak English, and
many of them had never seen an
American before, Evidently the whole

Decay of Cycling in Chile.

Chile does hot hold out very bril-
liant promises as market for bicycles
for some years to come, principally
owing to the great difficulties of cycling
over the fearful roads there. The
country is being opened up rapidly to
commerce and, as was the case in this
country during the great westward
movement, the railroads are being
pushed back into the country and the
ordinary highways are almost entirely
neglected, being considered good
enough for present purposes if they
are passable for the asses and mules
which transport practically all the
merchandise of the country at rates
considered cheap there but which are
extremely high when time and break
age are taken into consideration. The
one bicycle club which undertook the
promotion of races, club runs and So
cial meetings recently put up the shut
ters. The one bicycle paper of the
country has died natural death. The
Santiago race track was badly built
and was too far out of town. and as the
roads were in miserable condition no
body would go to the races; as a con-
sequence the track has gone to ruin,
with no prospect of reopening it's gates,
and no one seems inclined to put
money into new track nearer town.

full and most desolate region one could
conceive of, and furnished many rare
and interesting subjects for my camera.
One afternoon, while focusing my
lens on some immense cieba trees
which overhung a narrow lagoon, I was
suddenly startled at the sight of
huge serpent uncoiling himself from
limb of one of the very trees l was
photographing. l was so thoroughly
terrified at the sight that | have since
wondered that l had sufficient pres
ence of mind to complete the exposure
before catching up my camera and
making for the horses some distance
in the rear. Upon relating this ex-
perience to my attendants they laughed
heartily and gave me to understand
that the species of serpents which fire.
quent that locality, though often meas
uring twenty-five feet in length, are
utterly harmless. Be that as it may. l
can never bring myself to believe but
what that formidable snake, which -uy
photograph showed to be of the c,,n.
strictor family and fully twenty fees In
length, had anything but friendly d.
signs upon my person.
After completing my assignment %
the Isle of Pines I returned to Cuba.
and, proceeding to the western part OF
Pinar del Rio. began my long zigzag
tour of the island, which occupied up

was bad enough, l thought, until !
found that the tariff placed on my
photographing outfit and trunk
amounted to just twice that figure
making the thirtymile trip to cost me
exactly SO. However, it was largely
inexperence with Cuban customs that
led me into such eXtOrtionate pitfalls.
The payment OF that extra So on my
dunnage was quite uncalled for, as
notwithstanding the rules to the con-
trary, passengers are allowed to carry
all manner of truck in the cars with
them without additional expense. One
native who sat opposite me ir the first
class coach had with him a dog, a
goat, two poll parrots and a hundred
weight or so of mixed vegetables in
the section he occupied.
After leaving Havana | experienced
not little difficulty through not un-
derstanding the Spanish language. On
the train there was not a soul who
could speak a word of English, while
my command Of Spanish was limited
to "Quanto vale" or How much :"
and "Mucho gracias," or Much
obliged" Before I left Cuba, however,
I had added to the foregoing vocabu-
larry dozen or so native calculations
OF doubtful significance but indubita-
Die potency in various cases of emer-
sency. At Batabano harmed that a

In obedience to the inspiration, there

unlimberng my tripod and camera
proceeded TO train the latter on the
crowd. The enect Of this act | shall
never forget. If that innocent glass
eyed box had been a battery of gat-
ling guns. it could hardly have created
more CONSERVATION among my specta-
tors. BY the time | had secured my
proper focus, two-thrds of their num-
Der had lodged out of sight, while. with
a few exceptions, the remainder stood
eying me with undisguised suspicion.
My instructions were to make a
thorough tour OF the Isle of Pines, and,
as there are absolutely no transporta-
ton facilities other than saddle horses.
| was obliged to organize my expedi-
ton accordingly. Through the assist
ance of DR.. Fernando Plazaola, the al

to secure the services of two good ma

During this time I succeeded in pho

guides declared had never before been
visited by white man. And the will

terror regions seemed to thoroughly
bear out their statements. This is
particularly so of the great cienaga
swamp, which occupies the entire
southern half of the island. This vast

Detroit is having a spasm of jealousy
over the selection of Jacksonville as
the next meeting place of the l.. A. w.
assembly next February and is making
efforts to have the location of the con-
ventiOn changed from the land of flow
ers to the City Of Straits While the
object is perhaps mercenary one, it
cannot be denied that the DetrOiters
have put forth some strong arguments
against holding the assembly in Jack
sOnville, pointing out that while the
latter place is unquestiOnably de-
lightful point for a winter junketing
party to visit, many of those who
should represent the various state di-
visions have not the time or means to
devote to such prolonged journey as
a trip to Florida would necessitate
