IN SOUTH AMERICA.
Houses of Argentina Are Surrounded
BY Great Wall.

From the Chicago News.
Concerning the dwellings in the Ar
gentine republic traveller writes:
Wherever there was a collection of
houses | was greatly struck with the
character of the architecture-llke
Arab or Moorish villages, one great
wall without windows surrounding
them. The country is very quiet now
safe enough for a bevy of school
girls to travel it by day or night; but
still the peculiar architecture remains.
AT Negra Muerta, where we camped,
there was only one large building,
once the headquarters of the 'estan-
ciero, who owns hundreds of square
| leagues of the surrounding country,
| but now tenanted by his manager, a
superior sort of half-breed Spanish In
dian, with his family. There was the
huge square outside wall without any
windows of any kind, one arched door
way and the inside house or houses
builu against the outer wall and facing
into a patio-a most notwithstanding
place. Truly, the occupation of Spain
by the Moors has left its deep mark
ings: they extended across to the new
world. influencing today even the Gus
toms of the Indians of Spanish South
America.
Wonderful yields of grapes are pro-
duced in some Argentine vineyards.
in Mr.. Trelour's vineyard, covering
five or six acres, small tram road ran
up the middle" continues the same
