NEW FACTS ABOUT PATAGONIA.

w. o. Campbell, young Scotchman,
has just returned from Patagonia, the
flag end of the South American con-
tinent, where he spent several months
entirely alone among the Indians.
The reports he brings back contradict
the general impression of Patagonia as
a desolate and dreary desert, inhabited
by savages of revolving habits and ter
rifying appearance. The few points in
Patagonia which are marked on the
map bear such names as Port Famine
and Desolation island. Mr.. Campbell
declares that this does the country
great injustice. The climate is by no
means so inhospitable as it has been
reported. Even at the southernmost
point the mean temperature in the
winter time is 35 degrees above zero,
while in the summer time it is 50 de-
grees. He walked into a native village
in the interior entirely without an es-
ort, was kindly received, and given a
hut, in which he made his home for
more than week No one made any
effort to interfere with him in any
way and he was furnished with food
and drink Mr. Campbell reports that
the rivers are filled with seals, sea ele-
plants, offers, and edible fish in great
numbers, and that wild ducks and
other birds abound in countless thou
sands The inhabitants, instead of be-
ing filthy, as has so often been
charged, battle themselves daily and
are modest, kindly, and simple He
thinks Patagonia is one of the most
interesting portions of the earth.
