sun Dial as ouoek Regulator.


Before the days OF railways sun
dials were sufficient for most ordin-
AIRY purpose. and furnished the best
available means OF ascertaining the
time. The sun dial affixed TO the
church wall or pedestal In the church
yard served to tell the time, anti!
railway trains brought into more
general use the clock and then the
watch. The conditions have again
changed. The owner of a country
estate, as we'll as the modern man
OF business. nowadays wants TO
know the correct time with some
greater certainty than the ordinary
watches aud clocks can give IL. Hun
dFeds OF modern reproductions of
the various forms OF sun dials have

Tor ornament, but their usefulness
Is materially reduced by the diffcul.

which indicates Greenwich time with

Great cities, besides their mail
civic centers, like Cleveland's mag

groupings on and near the Fens
have become SO extensive as to form
a colony of art and education.
Outside Washington, the Latin
American cities offer the best mod
els of a civic center to be found on
this continent. Take Mexico. for in
ctance. on one side OF the great
central plaza. facing the south.
stands the magnificent cathedral.
the entire east side is occupied by the
national palace, devoted to the exec
utive offices of the government; OPP
posite the cathedral Is Che ayunta
maiento, or city hall, while the sid
opposite the palace Is occpled by
merchantile structures. with wide ar
cades. In the later years the scheme
has been amplified by the construc-
ton OF a broad avenue. the Clnco dc
Mayo. upon the axis OF the cathedral
towers through the great public
garden, the Almeda. At the further
end OF this avenue magnificen.
post Office bGildlng has been erected
and a SUPERB national theater is un.

The most felicious recent example
In this country Is the magnlficent
work undertaken by Cleveland. Here
around a wide open space, approprl-

with fine avenues radiating to other
quarters OF the city, are TO be

there in 1851. Not so very far from

Peru has great advantage over
other republic of South America.
She is a trans-continental country,
having a coast line on the Pacific
of 1900 miles from which the whole
world can be reached, yet one of the
great commercial centers of Peru Is
Iquitos, an inland city on the A.
lantic water shed. From Iquitos
ocean steamers pass 1000 miles down
the Amazon through the Brazilian
port of Manaos and proceed to New
York or Europe, just as IL they had
come from a coast town on salt
water. This is an advantage pos
sessed by no other country except
Colombia, which has ports on both
the Caribbean (Atlantic) and the
Pacific.
The variety of natural products
within Peru's confines, adds greatly
to her promise for future growth.
Her wealth does not by any means
depend upon minerals alone. She is
a large sugar producer; her cotton
is famous for certain good quail.
