of ethereal mildness which
places the genuine spring in the sec
ond place? Such is the climate of
Quito, the capital of Ecuador, which
lies but a few miles south of the
equator. 1t is situated among the most
magnificent peaks of the lower Andes
at an altitude of more than 5000 feet,
and the effects of its proximity to the
equator are so modified by this that
the climate is probably the most
spring-like in the world. In Quito
they have perpetual Indian summer,
glorious sunshine, soft tempered breez-
es, and only occasionally the violent
transforms which so thickly inter
sperse the year in the northern hem
isphere. These delightful conditions
have charmed Mrs. William C. Fox,
wife of the United States minister to
Ecuador, who says of the picturesque
southern capital:
I'VE have lived in Quito during the
transition period, and have seen it
passing from one of the most pictur-
esQue old Spanish cities into a mod
ern municipality. My first journey to
the capital of Ecuador was made on
a burro. 1t required several days, and
though it has magnificent scenery
and life in the interior is most inter
esting, yet leave it to any woman of
my acquaintance If the experience
would be relished more than once.
Now the railroad has penetrated the
mountains and comes direct from the
seaport of Guayaquil to Quito. With
the railroad, of course, have come all
the progress and charge incident to it
all over the world. But Quito still re-
tains it's ancient charm, though it is
taking on some of the less attractive
features of modern civilization. The
streets have long been lighted by cleo
tricity, but it has been until now a city
o. two-storied houses. There are plans
afoot to begin new residential addi-
ton in the west side, and no doubt the
high Offices and nine-story apartment
house will follow in time.
The charm of Quito is the poetic
atmosphere which envelops the plain

of the liquid? To obviate this an Iowa
man has invented a coffee pot, the lid
of which remains closed. BY pressing
the small lever on the handle air is
admitted and 1t runs out rapidly in a
straight stream, instead of gurgling
out and splashing over the sides of the

flew about the church in all direc-

was one in which occurs the line:
