your chance with the next. boat, and
the delay thus occasioned means not
only extra expense in feeding the
6nimals, but also the prolonged risk
of their death ere they can be got to
their destination.
"The obvious remedy against loss
both at port and at sea would be in
surance, but it is cargo that no in
surance company will take risks on.
Consequently the best thing to do is
to personally interview the capt tain,
and give him an interest in the selling
value Of the eargo-say third or a
half. That may seem a lot to give
away, but it is wiser to pocket re-
duced profit than sustain total loss.
cit Is because Of such difficulties
and Of the personal danger run by
the trapper, that the prices Of big
game for live delivery run high. Ii
gers are worth anything from $3.50
to $500, leopards from $500 to 81 900,
while a rhinoceros Or giraffe tops
the list as profitable bags, selling at
from $4,000 to $4,000 each.
"Lions, however, are a drug on the
market, and worth comparatively
nothing, being such good breeders in
captivity; nor is there much money
in bears. Enakes are a good line when
they run to any size. The largest
ever had the good fortune to handle
was a forty-two foot python, which
sold for $1,000.
"And there is this advantage about
these reptilcs-thcy can be stuffed
with sufficient food to last for months,
and being fed before shipment will
travel in a state of coma, giving no
trouble during the voyage.
"It is after heavy meal that py-
thons are captured; then they can be
handled with safety, being too over
fed to exert the terrible strength they
are capable of displaying. I had only
one tussel with python, and, al
though nothing serious resulted, it
sufficed to convince me that their
strength had in no way been exag-
gerated.

Spendlng about five hours at POnt
Del Gada, the capital Of the island
and seat Of the civil government. Th
place has n population of 10000 an
after Lisbon and Oporto is the mos
important city Of Portugal. Pont
Del Gada is Il remarkably clean cit,
It's houses are well lighted, painte,
and whitcwashed. The streets, though
presenting a good appearance, are no
very wide, but arc lighted with ga
and electricity. Plenty of good wat
er is piped through the houses.
Situated in the middle of the At
lantic Ocean, the Azores offer mos
agreeable and convenient stopping
place between the old and new worlds
The Azores were discovered by Por.
tuguese navigators some so or rs
years before Columbus discovered
America. The fact that large hawk
like birds were seen to fly westward
from the coast Of Portugal and not
return led to the discovery of the is
lands, and the name, Azores, means
Hawk, in the Portuguese language.
The islands are all volcanic, though it
is said that st Marie gives some cvi.
de!tce of regular geological forma-
ton. The mineral spring on St. Mich
acl is regarded as possessing WONDER
ful medicinal properties, and many
interesting stories are related by
tourists Of the healing powers of the
water. The travellers visit to these
islands, emerging as they do abrupt
~ from the ocean, with their sharp
volcanic peaks. lava cut valleys. lux
uriant vegetation, charming land
scapes, and delightful climate, is
rendered loubly pleasant by the hos
pitality and kindness Of the inhabi-
tants. The climate is temperate and
mild, due to the high altitude and in
flucnce of the sea.
The vigor and abundance and var
iety Of the products, and the careful
tillagc of the land make the fields
look like gardens. Large farms are
not seen, the land is let in small lots
and ut short terms. and each tenant
is striving to make the largest yield
possible. The principal field crops
are corn, wheat, rye, barley and po-
tatocs. Grapes, oranges and pincap-
pies have brought large revenues TO
the islands, but Of recent years dis
ease has attacked the orchards and
vineyards and has destroyed much Of
the profit from this source. Pincap-
pies are grown under cover.
The most important industry at
present is the manufacture of alcohol
from potatoes. There are three fac
tories, they are large and well equip
ped, producing annually about two
million gallons. There are three to-
bacco factories, the total output (an-
nually) being about fifty-five million
pounds. The local manufacture of
cloth is limited to homespuns, with
the exception of two small factories
in Ponto Del Gada, where towels.

Much Enthusiasm Shown
Morris n. webb was the temporary
chairman. and John NJ. Dorney the
temporary secretary of the meeting.
FIFTY men, representing all political
parties, We're present Mr. Dorney
stated the purpose Of the meeting and
was greeted with applause. He declared
that the local political situation had
resolved itself into a condition similar
70 that which prevails in Russia, where
the word Of one man was law; that
public bodies have adopted the "star
chamber" method OF discussing public
affairs, and that Legislatures and
Councils have become strangers of
| legislation designed to benefit the peo-
pie. Mr.. Dorney thought that effort
should be put forth at once to correct
these evils, and declared there were
1000 men in the city already pledged to
reform who were ready TO cast their
ballots for the cause.
