tain a population of million people.
The great lake is remarkable sheet
of water, 125 miles long and from forty
miles to seventy-five miles wide. From
the middle of the lake the shore line
on either side is invisible. There are
a number of islands in the lake, in

respectively OF $3.50 and 4,200 feet.
North of this great lake there is an
other but smaller lake connected with
the former in times of flood.
Through the Great Forests.
There is a remarkable difference in
the character of the country east and
west of the lakes. The mountain sides

present day. Nature in lavishing her
fayors on this land left little for the
heart Of man to desire. Though the

here that the aspect OF the landscape
changes and the great chain of mount
aims forming the backbone of the two
American continents finds its lowest
depression. The great forests of the
eastern coast have disappeared
and fertile table lands. luXuriant
groves and grass-covered prairies or
savannahs with rising mountain peaks,
deep ravines and roaring torrents char
acterize the scenery as the traveller
journeys onward. And il is here that
the sparse population OF the country
is chiefly concentrated. They are broad
ly separated into two distinct classes.
the Ladino and the Indian. Ladino is
general term meaning the upper or
better class, and is applied alike to
all white natives creoles and mesti-
zoes. whatever their origin. The pure
blood Indians form the most despised
class. The dark-skinned Ladino will
readily account for his dark complex
ion by claiming negro origin. while
he will sturdily deny that Indian blood
flows in his veins. so deep set is the
stigma which was cast upon the abor-
igines by the early conquerors.
The West Coast Indians.
The Indians of the interior and west
coast differ from those OF the eastern
slope in their attributes as greatly as
do the varying aspects of the country.

brown. bushy-haired people, who have
made no progress in the arts of civil

western slope are yellow race. who,
at the time of the conquest possessed
a civilization closely allied to that of
the Aztecs. They are at the present day
| an amiable, polite, Industrious and in
teresting people, though unprogres-
sive. Their industry is of the most
painstaking and in many instances un-
thinking character. They do things be-
cause their forefathers did them and
consequently waste their time in slow
and antiquated methods.
The construction of the canal will
draw thousands OF foreigners to Nicar-
aqua and the effects of this new and
heterogeneous element upon its pres
ent population is hard to anticipate.
There are vast fields awaiting owners
to develop them and indications of
gold and silver mines to be discovered
and exploited. The immense forests of
the Mosquito country. with all their
valuable timber and rubber, are ~
yet unexplored and there are prairies
capable of sustaining millions of cattle,
while on the higher elevations the cof-
fee tree grows in reckless profusion.
