Unlike most cities in South
America San Paulo contain few
factories, evidenced by the few
tall smokestacks. One of these
strange to say is owned by and run
by North American and has an
American sign on it: "Clark's
Shoe Factory" The plant is
large one and supplies a large
Brazilian trade as we'll as cater
ing to the trade of other South
American countries. Evidently it
it is not of a philanthropic nature
for shoes cost from So to $l2 gold
pair. The Municipal theater here
is probably the finest in South
America. 1t is a magnificent white
structure, ornamented with
bronze statuary on the exterior.
The entrance has been patterned
after the Opera House in Paris.
While not large i t is superb
structure of white polished
marble with balustrad es of colored
marble. '
We were there during their
summer. The theater was close d.
AS we were American pilgrims
they opened the theate for our
special benefit, turned on the
lights, displayed the elegant in
terror Of white and gold ornamen-
tation. The curtain was raised
displaying a stage about as deep
as the auditorium in front. The
light was then turned down and
they gave us a most realistic wind
and thunder storm, the wind his
ing, with peal after peal of
thunder which seemed to shake
the house. These were interspersed
with most vivid flashes of lightn-
ing.
In this city of 100000 people
there is not steam laundry and
insufficient hotel accommodations
One hundred of our passengers
went to San Paulo. About a dozen
remained over night. Many more
would have done so but there was
not room to contain over dozen.
The growth of the city in these
repsects cannot keep pace with the
increase Of population.
In short a visit to country
one can obtain but a scant idea of
the social, political and moral con-
ditions, but with a party of Amer
lean tourists such as sail on the
Blueeher the great advantage is
the association with each other and
the interchange of impressions.
There are Travellers clubs after
leaving every port an here are dis
cussed the countries that we visit.
What most impresses the North
American is the absence Of Ameri-
can goods and American capital.
Other nations have a subsidized
marine, lines of steamers, banking
houses and every other convenience
for doing BUSINESS in South America,
but we have neglected all these
and are thus closed to one of the
best markets in the world. English
capital is everywhere evident in
South America. 1t has built her
railroads, dug her bitches, built
her banks and established trade
for her products. There is not
one North American bank
in all South America whereas
Germany and England have banks
in every small town.

New Turbine Liner.

The new German ocean liner Ad.
miral Won Tirpitz, just launched at
Stettln to ply between Hamburg and
the Panama canal zone, is the first
large vessel to employ the Foettinger
turbotransformer in place Of the usual
turbines. Steam turbines give their
best service when operated at high
speed. but the number of revolutions
of the ships propeller must not exceed
a certain limit. To reduce the speed
of the turbine in order to accommo
date it to the speed of the propeller
means a considerable loss of energy.
Doctor Toettinger's transformer. how
ever, transmits the motion of the tur
bine TO the propeller shaft by a hydrau
lie intermediary, whereby the turbines
can be operated at high speed while
the propeller does not exceed its limit
of revolutions. The loss OF energy is
only ten per cent Besides there is
freedom from noise and vibration.

CAT AND RAT EQUAL PESTS
Former Especially Have Wrought
Havoc Among the Smaller Native
Animals of Australia.

In the Monte Bello islands domestic
cats. have most unfortunately been in
troduced, which do much damage
amongst the wallabies. and have ex-
terminated the bandicoot.s . The cats
thrive exceedingly wherever they are
introduced. growing to great size.
They soon become wild and cunning,
and breed fast. 1t may be safely said
that these animals are doing more
damage than anything else to the ma
tive fauna Of the Australian region;
indeed, the same remarks apply to
the greater part Of the world. Cats
are carried almost universally on
small trading ships, with the idea that
they keep down rats. When they be-
come too numerous or otherwise OBJ
jectionable, they are simply marooned,
for to kill cat is considered among
the sailors as most unlucky.
The black rat is another introduced
species which does great harm. The
animal is found universally over the
Monte Bello group. even on the small
outlying islets, which are never Wis
tied, on which It occurs most abun-
dainty. Its presence is attributed to
a schooner which was wrecked some
twelve years ago, for 1t is well known
that this rat is a good swimmer. 1t
is curious to find that this animal
which is now so rare in its native
countries as to be looked upon as q
great curiosity, should usually be one
OF the first species to populate new
lands where 1t is comparatively free
from competition. Driven from all civ
ilized countries by the brown rat, II

CHAPTER x,lI.-contlnued.

Leslie did not turn up at his fathers
place In the High street that night
untu Booth was safely out OF the way.
He spent a dismal evening at the boat
club.
His father and mother were In the
library when he came home at half
past ten. From q dark corner OF the
garden he had witnessed Booths early
departure. Vivian had gone down to
the. gate In the low-lying hedge with
her visitor. She came in a moment
after. Leslie's entrance.
"ffello, Les" she said, bending an
inquIrlng eye upon him. isn't this

Mr. wrandall, looking up from his

several hours-and then expelled IL

me-"
Mr.. Wrandall turned leaf in his
book; It sounded like the crack OF
doom, so still had the room become.
Vivian had the .forethought to push
q chair toward her mother. It was q
most timely act on her part, for Mrs
