projecting to the north OF the harbor.
The city OF Maracaibo is protected. as
it is situated a few miles in from the
Caribbean. There are other seaports
Of minor Importance, such as Carupano,
Pampatar. La Vela, Guanta. Cumana
Cano Colorado. Christobal Colon and
Imataca. Practically speaking, how
ever. Venezuela has no good harbor.
The present development OF the har-
Dor OF La Guaira is carried on by the
La Guaira Harbor Corporation, Ltd.
which has already built three jetties.
the first one being go feet from the
shore and having a length OF 2l3 feet
Between this and the second 5etty. which
is $50 feet long. is a space OF $50 feet.
The distance from the second jetty To
the third jetty. which is 265 feet long,
is about 200 feet. The accommodation
space for steamers heretofore has been
72S feet. and only three steamers can
use it at a time. II more arrive in one
day they must unload on lighters. An
other disadvantage Is that the largest
of the jetties is hardly long enough to
| allow some steamers to unload from
all of their matches at once
The improvements under way by the
| harbor corporation consist of connect
ing the three jetties and extending the
outermost one hundred feet further, al
! lowing 400 feet more berthing and CIV
ing a continuous jetty line of 1,17S feet.

1t is interesting to note that the floor

United States, while the plling is vera

II Is not to be inferred that there

places above mentioned now have the
greatest commercial value. 1t Is &c
these cities, more especially the sea
port towns that I urge United states
exporters and young men to turn then
attention when they desire to exploit

The merchants of La Guaira and
Caracas have made a scientific study
of the ideas of improving the wagon
road between the two cities. They have
in mind the establishment of good roads
for automobiles hoping that eventually

cities will be solely by automobile.

companlonship In Solitude.

Solitude tries a man in a way So
ciety does not, 1t throws him upon his
own resources, and IL these resources
be meager, If the ground he occupies
in and of himself be poor and narrow
he viii have sorry time OF it. Hence
We readily attribute some extra vir-
tues to those persons who voluntarily
embrace solitude, who live alone in
the country or In the woods, or in
the mountains and find 1t sweet. We
know they cannot live without con-
verse, without society of some sort,
and We credit them with the power OF
invoking 1t from themselves or else
of finding more companionship with
dumb things than with ordinary NOR
tals.--John BurTuUshs.
