good investment. In spite OF the
thousands of miles of dense forests
containing rich and strong lumber the
steamers running between here and
New York bring pine from the United
States on every trip. The reason for
this state of affairs can be very easily
traced to the lack of sawmills and in-
land means of transportation. In
some parts of the Amazon IL Is not
necessary To wait for the establish
ment Of railways 10 carry the lumber
down the river, Nature Is doing the
work free Of charge by sending down
with the current a large number Of
trees, Two mills are kept busy all
the year around with the logs floating
down the river. They often come so
fast and with such terrific force that
they are serious danger to naviga-
ton"
But these opportunities will lack
neither the men or the means for n
long Period, and In a few years South
America will take its riRhtful place in
the sitterhood Of continents,

W South America is coming to the

years of the present century, and from
the ice-clad mountains of Terra del

But of all the countries of South

there are none that are looked upon
more favorably than western and

A famous verdict rendered many
years ago by a coroner's jury in a
case of mysterious death ran thus:
"We, the jury of 12 good men and true
duly impaneled and responsible on
our consciences, do hereby return the
following verdict on the demise Of the
deceased, namely: That said corpse
came to its death through the abrupt
ceasing of his heart TO perform it's
natural Office, for no reason whatever
observable by man, but solely an act
of Providence" If this was not alto
gether explicit, at least the public
knew that there had been no foul
play; but what meaning could posi-
bly, be attached to the verdict which a
legal magazine assures us was rem
dered, much more recently, by Mis-
souri, court? "We, the jury impan-
eled, sworn and charged TO inquire
into the insanguinity of Hezekiah
Jones. do occur in the affirmative"
This leaves the matter still shrouded
in mystery. Was Hezekiah, dead, an
ensanguiDed corpse? Was he living,
accused of homicide. or merely Of in
sanity? Insanguinity is resonant
and mysterious multisyIlable that
must leave the everyday juryman IN
very uncertain frame of mind. -
