1 wonder If you have any idea of the
size of Bolivia. Situated here in the heart
of the continent, with great desert be-
tween it and the ocean. 1t Is the third
largest of the South American republics.
1t contains altogether more than 100000
square miles. 1t is one-fourth as big as
the United States proper. six times as
large as Great Britain and Ireland, more
than three times the size of Germany or
France, and three times as big as Aus
tria-Hungary or the Spanish peninsula.
The republic extends from north to south
as far as from Canada to the Gulf of
Mexico and 1t is almost as wide as from
New York to Detroit. All of our New
England and middle states and all OF the
southern states except Texas taken to-
gether, would just about cover Bolivia,

Within the past decade La Paz has

the property. and there Mrs. Monies is

The buildings in the heart of La Paz
have been greatly improved. Right in the
center Of the city is beautiful plaza
filed with grass. flowers and trees. and
on one side of this has been erected the
new Bolivian capitol building in which
congress meets. On another side is the
presidents palace, or the white house of
the Bolivian republic. 1t was there that
was received by President Monies. The

two or three people to the square mile.
Bolivia has no large cities. This town

next town in size, Cochabamba, has only
about one-third as many. This is SO not

of the wild lands of Bolivia and the in
vestisation of their resources has al
ready begun. l can see that great
changes have been made within the past
fifteen years. When I first came to La
Paz 1 Travelled across the plateau on
stage. and when l left here for Oruro,
on my way to the sea, rode for three
days on the gallop behind team OF four
mules. 1t was at Oruro that l caught
the little narrowgauge railway that runs
across the desert and nitrate fields to
the port Of Antofagasta. AT that time
La Paz had no railroads. and the most
of Bolivia was accessible only by mule
back and foot. Today there are three
systems of iron tracks from the capital
to the seacoast: and within a short time
La Paz will be within three days by rail
of Buenos Aires. The gap In the rail-
roads at Argentina and Bolivia is now
only about 100 miles. and this gap will
be closed by iron tracks within less than
a year from this writing.
The beginning of the railroad era here
was the sale to Brazil of the Acre ter
ritory, near the headwaters Of the
Amazon. For this the government was
paid over SIC, OO0, 900 and 1t was decided
to use this sum for new railways. The
money was taken to New York, and 1t
was American enterprise and American
engineers who laid down the first tracks
of the system. Other moneys were Dor
rowed and up to about a year ago more
than $16.O00OOO had been spent There

~
Sir Thomas and Andrew Carnegie have
cracked many a Joke together.
''Mr. Carnegie told me an amusing Incl
dent that occurred few years ago on
the occasion of visit of the late King
Edward to Skibo Castle" said Sir Thorn
as. at seems that the king arrived at
an earlier hour than Mr.. Carnegie was
expecting him and when one of the at
tendants of the castle rushed in and in
formed him that Britain's ruler was ap-
preaching, Mr. Carnegie became very
much excited over the unpreparedness for
the VISITORS reception. 1t would never
do for the king to enter the reception
room without the formal greeting of
music: God Save the King" Where in
creation was the Scotch piper?
my friend Carnegie rushed around try
ing to find the man. He sent the
c.. ties servant scurrying around try
ing to find the piper and finally he was
located in his bathtub. There was no
time for the man to dress; the king was
at the castle door by this time. Mr..
Carnegie's imperative order that the
strains of God Save the King" must well
come the visitor must be obeyed. The
Scotch piper threw a bath towel around
his dripping Frame and. grabbing his
bagpipe, he ran hurriedly to a curtain
hidden alcove in the reception room,
where he piped forth the music as the
king entered. Now, that was a narrow
escape for Andy, wasn't it? l told King
Edward about 1t later and he enjoyed
the story very much"

Former Mayor John Fitzgerald Of
Boston is the chief character in one Of
Sir Thomas stories.
1T was at Cowes a few years ago
that there was a gathering Of pleasure
seekers. including Emperor William of
Germany he said. I'VE were all there
with our yachts. and among the Ameri-
cans who came over to witness the
sporting events was Mayor Fitzgerald
Now it happened that tenders for carry
ing visitors back and forth to the
different yachts were scarce, and Mr..
Fitzgerald wanted to pay me visit
on my yacht but could not find boat
to bring him over
"In looking for one he came across
a launch of unusually fine appearance.
The crew were all Germans and Mr.
Fitzgerald could not make them un-
derstand what he wanted. But nothing

toward my yacht. The order was

I'm the meanwhile Emperor William
had ordered the launch for his own pri-

being used to convey a stranger to my
yacht he threatened to discharge every
member of the crew. 1t happened that
I was a guest Of the emperor at dinner
that night and told the joke about Fitz-
gerald.
Nothing is too good for the mayor of
Boston I informed the emperor. What
is more natural than that Mr.. Fitzgerald
should select the finest launch in the
harbor to convey him on a visit to Sir
Thomas? He had the right view; nothing
is too good for Sir Thomas

and nights ashore he found Sir Thomas
on the promenade deck. talking to one OF
while the ship was in harbor. Sir Thomas
called to the writer:
Here Is a countryman Of yours, he
said, and he then proceeded to. Introduce
the nattily uniformed policeman, who
bore every mark Of an Englshman in

of interest.

Sir Thomas stood by and heard the con.

Why, my man. no one can .ell YOU

what to say better than any one eise."

down again and again. The walls are
now about seventy-five feet in height,
and there are some signs Of their ap-
preaching completion. This cathedral Is
being built through a tax upon all the
goods that come across Lake Titicaca.
If l am rightly informed the levy Is 10
per cent, and it is to be continued as
long as the work of building goes on.
There are some unkind skeptics who al
lege that the building will never be COM
pleted. as the makers are DESTROYS Of
continuing the receipts from these i'm
ports. AS to this l know not but just
now they are doing some work that seems
useless, and the workmen are not push
ing the job
The business of La Paz Is far better
than it has been in the past. Many of
the stores that formerly were mere caves
in the walls have put In plate glass win
dows. and large business buildings have
gone up that would not be out of place
in town of the same size in our coun-
try. There are many fine residences on
the outskirts. Some now building are
like French villas. They are of two
stories with very high ceilings. They are
made of brick covered with stucco. and
as usual are of all colors of the rainbow.
Others of the new residences are of Span
ish architecture, running around patios in

can see great changes In La Paz. The
capital has sprung into new life. and 1t
seems to be more enterprising than
Lima, although the latter is almost twice
its size. New buildings are going up
everywhere. and masons and carpenters
are working in every part of the high
basin in which the capital lies. The
streets are full of traffic. As you go
along them you are jostled by donkey
trains and llama trains, and. I might
also say, by trains Of Indians as well,
for much of the goods Is carried through
the streets on the backs of the natives.
The city has now an electric car line,
but the streets are so narrow that the
cars have to run at one side. the trolley
arms being fastened to the walls Of the
houses.
When I was last here there was not a
public cab in the whole city, and you
could number the. private carriages on
your fingers and toes. Now there are
many four-horse cabs drawn by mules
and also fine private turnouts that go
galloping along up hill and down. When
