The Maracaibo carried 25 passen- bers. and after leaving Curacao on November touched at San Juan No- vember 12. The Astor yacht left Kingston, Jamaica. on the same day that the Naracaibo der3rt from Gu racao, presumably bound for San Juan. As the trip ordinarily takes about two days, she had ample time to arrive there before the Maracaibo, and the fact that the. yacht was not seen in the harbor there gives a further serious aspect to the mystery of her disap- pearance.

they narrowly escaped destruction Cha
teaubriand had a pet monkey, which one
day In his masters absence slipped his
chain in the study and amused Himself
by tearing up Fontanes manuscript The
monkey had seen Chateaubriand divide
sheets of paper into four parts and he
limited his. powers of imitation and de-
struction to treating each sheet In this
way. so in the result the damage was not
irreparable. The Chateaubriand-F ontanes
incident is recalled by the adventure OF
q big monkey in the Prefecture of Puy.
The monkey made his escape from trav-
cling menagerie. For three hours the
Prefecture of Puy was in a state of COM
motion. Officials chased the monkey from
office to office. Statues were overturned
and dossiers scattered. Finally the mon
key took refuge on the roof, and amused
himself by hurting tiles at the crowd
gathered in the Place du Breul. After
some gymnastics on the telephone wires
the monkey, who alone seemed to enjoy
the proceedings, came down and OF his
own accord entered a cage.

from United States and 12,1OO,0OO

time that Argentine has been in first

due to the poor crops in the United
States and Russia, it is confidently ex-
pected that within few years Argen-
