A Fat and Dirty Race.

Sir w. Martin Conway, Il well known
mountain climber and traveller, who
has circled the globe and gone up and
down it in search of heights that he
might scale, came from England to the
Albemarle, and told OF the Patagon-
ians. "They are not giants, as some
have supposed, and as the Biographies
teach," he said. They are large in
comparison with the other South Amer
lean natives-that is all. Everything is
relative, you know. But they are very
fat. That is why they can stand the
cold so well. l have seen Patagonian
men and boys running around unclcd,
while l was wrapped in warm gar
ments, with the snow falling upon
them in quantities and the wind blow
ing bitterly. They are kept warm by
their fat-and dirt. Patagonia is one
IF the dirtiest places imaginable.
Don't go there if you hate dirt. That
is my advice to all who contemplate
journey to the jumping off place Of
South Ameriesa. New York Tribune.
