its preservation.
During the last three years. accord
ing TO figures taken from the Chillan
customs reports. the number of ami
mails killed has risen enormously. For
instance, in 1898 34l 1876 pelts were ex-
ported; in 1889. 435,sO6. and in 1900,
695,3l6. If to this total the domestic
consumption (as well as the large
number of pelts sent through the pos
tai parcels service) is added. the fig

695,3l6 pelts exported in 1900 must have
reached sum apDroXimating SS56 900.

His skating trip was so successful that
he had to do ii again and again for the

his way back to the top of the slide
by walking sideways, so that his sign
would cut the wind. An occasional
shipwreck he met midway on the trip

heavy wagons in front of the new
