Importance. If nothing but its in
crease in population were considered
its growth might be considered one
of the wonders of the age. In 1882 the
city had 100000 inhabitants; now it
has a population OF 1000. 0O0-an in
crease of nearly 700 900 in 20 years.
This rapid growth of the city becomes
still more interesting when one takes
a brief survey of its past history.
After Juan Diaz de Soils had discov-
cred the Rio de la Plata-the Silver
.river-in 1915. and after Sebastiano
Caboto and Diego Garcia had sailed up
the Parana and Uruguay rivers. in 1927,
Emperor Charles v. dispatched, in the
year 1885, the Spanish commander Pc
dro Mendoza with a strong expedition
to colonize the country along the banks
of these mighty rivers. Shortly after
his. arrival Mendoza founded city on
the right shore of the La Plata which
he called Buenos Ayres. After centu-

square court Ornamented with shrub
berry, potted plants and fountains.
Large mansions sometimes have two
or three of these courts, one or two for
the family and a third for the higher
household officials. In the center of
the city, however. this ancient style of
architecture, which provides an
abundance of light and air, has beer
supplanted by the modern interna-
tional residence. In all other respects
Buenos Ayres is metropolitan city.
1t has number of really fine public
buildings, club houses, banks and
monuments and score or more of
small parks and squares. The most
famous of the latter is the Plaza de
Mayo, a beautiful park ornamented
with superb monuments and sur
rounded by some of the most imposing
edifices in the world On one side. on
the banks of the La Plata, stands the
massive government building, on the
other the cathedral, the archi-Episco-
pal palace and the halls of congress.
Another step and the principal streets
OF the city are reached-the newly
opened Avenida de Mayo, the Gale
Rlvadia, Victoria, San Martin and
Florida, along which are located the
fashionable stores, clubs and banks.
The Gale Florida, however, is the real
center of the city's life-what Broad
way is to New York and, State street
to Chicago.
General social life does not differ
much from that of large cities in
other lands, and there are but few
original street types TO attract the
travellers attention. Among the lat
ter are the 'changadors" husky fell
lows to be seen on every street corner,
waiting for odd jobs as messengers.
rug heaters or anything else that may
turn up. Another striking character
is the milk man who comes to town

mounted on patient piece of horse
flesh. carrying the tactical fluid in tin
cans enclosed in OK hides. A few Years
ago still more interesting sight de-
lighted tourists. In the morning the
milkman drove his cows through the
streets and delivered the milk direct
from the animal TO the consumer. thus
doing away with the necessity of a
milk inspection department. But
these good old days" are almost over.
The rapid progress in the development
of the city is supplanting archaic Gus
toms and manners and but a few DAYS

RES of oppression and spoliatiou by
the Spaniards and after many SAN
culinary struggles the Spanish yiceroy
of the La Plata provinces was deposed
and provisional government formed.
This occurred On May 25, 1910, which
day has ever since been observed as
the birthday of the republic South
American Fourth of July. But only
after years of hard fighting against
heavy odds was Argentina declared
independent, on July 9. 1916. After
ward the jealousy existing between
the various provinces. and the bloody
conflicts caused by them. prevented a
rational development of the country.
Moreover, in 1865. the Argentine Re-
public was forced into a disastrous
war with Paraguay. which was not
definitely concluded until 1876. when
the allied governments of Argentine,
Brazil and Uruguay forced their
plucky enemy to submit to humiliating
terms of peace.
In the following decade the country
made wonderful progress, which was

A WONDERFUL PLACE
Buenos Ayres, the Capital of the
Argentine Republic.
1t Is a Metropolis in Every Sense of
the Word, with Beautiful Parks
and a Truly Magnificent
HarbOr.
Especial Buenos Ayres letter.

LNP~NAS~A y
NNE of the most important COM
~ mercial centers of South Amer
lea is Buenos Ayres, the capital
of the Argentine Republic, which has
a population of nearly 100000 and is
connected with Europe and New York
by several direct lines of steamships.
The city of Buenos Ayres is situated
on the right bank of the mouth of the
La Plata river, which at this point is,
about 20 miles in width. Until few
years ago ocean liners were compelled
to anchor 20 miles outside of the port,
owing to the shallowness of the river
bed, and passengers and freight had
to be transferred to small river steam
ers; but now the city has magnifi-
cent harbor with modern docks and the
largest ships can discharge passengers
and cargoes in close proximity to the
leading hotels and railway stations.
But Buenos Ayres is of Importance not
only on account of its foreign com
merce, but also because it is the ter
minus of the La Plata River Navigation
company, which likewise controls traf-
nc on the Parana and Uruguay rivers
as far north and northwest as Para
quay and Brazil. Moreover, a network
OF railroads connects the capital with
every province of the republic.

ment has grown quite influential dur

tributed not little to the development
Of the country. The Italians constitute

but they have done much more than
the others towards building up the

have somehow managed to conquer all
these obstacles, and in spite of tenn

NER FARERELL PARTE.

A new kind Of farewell party has
made its appearance in Kansas, where
they are not afraid Of new things. Ru-
dolph Ring, a young man. had been sem
fenced to the Hutchinson reformatory
for shooting at a companion with whom
he had auarreled. The sheriff took him
to the family home in the country to
say goodby to his people. A big dinner
was spread. The father and mother took
the head of the table, the sheriff the
foot, and eight Of the young mans
brothers and sisters, with some neigh
bors, sat between. After the dessert had
been disposed of one of the neighbors
rose and read the fourteenth chapter of
st. John. Then Rudolph responded in a
speech in which he said that he was go
ing to be better man and that when
he got out of prison he would come
back and show them all how to behave.
When the speeches were finished, the
sheriff rode away with his prisoner. and
all the people waved him farewell.
1t is not probable that this new wrin-
kle will be widely initiated, but it is
interesting as an illustration of what
can be and is done in the surprising
State of Kansas.

face broadened with a grin as he inter
rupted:
" You have suggestive cargo. I'll be

There was another cargo went up

tCaptain Smith, that proved the saliva

ed and equally a godsend to her crew.
The big Fox, owned by S. L. Watson,
took on a miscellaneous cargo from
Buffalo to a Lake Michigan port.
tons of cement, which went to the bot
Among other freight loaded were 200
tons of cement which went in the bot
tom of the brig, the other stuff being
loaded on top of the cement.
Shortly after quitting the harbor,
INSTANTLY 1DOfG Lung phS
of those sudden squalls for which Lake
Erie is famous came up, and the Fox,
somewhat the worse for her years, was
buffeted by the heavy seas until she
sprang a leak. Water poured into her
hold in great quantities, and, although
the pumps were worked TO the utmost
it looked for long time as though the
brig and crew were doomed, for no
small boat could live in such sea, and
the captain and sailors realized that to
abandon the craft was only, perhaps,
to prolong their suffering for little
time. They decided to stick to the ship
and go down with her.
| THE pumps were kept working, and
after some time inspection showed that
the water in the hold was not gaining.
The men sprang to renewed effort and
at the end of an hour it was demon
strated conclusively that they were
gaining ON the water. Finally, the
pumps refused to work. Not only had
the crew been able to check the rise Of
the water in the hold, but they pumped
the brig practically dry.
mo explanation of the strange cir
leumstance was obtained until the Fox
Preached Milwaukee and the cargo was
being discharged, when it was found
that the entire bottom of the boat was
covered with a coating of cement, as
hard as asphalt and impervious to wa
tier. ~.
when the brig had sprung leak
the incoming water had loosened the
lower portion of the cargo and the roll
ling Of the vessel in the heavy sea had
Eaided to carry the, cement into every
Ecrevice of the old boat, plugging most
Eeffectually the opened seams and max
i1g the craft as thoroughly seaworthy
as the most expert caulker could have
done. With any cargo, under similar
circumstances, there isn't a doubt but
THAT the brig, and probably the crew,
would have been lost.
1.-THE Fox had to go into dry dock for
general repairs, but it was said at the
thine that the portion of the work
leausing the most trouble was the dig
ging out by the dry dock employees o.
the cement that had been forced into
the seams of the hull. Buffalo Times
