The romance which has chung to

social conditions in Lima, Peru:
In social conditions Lima is of the
Orient A study made not long ago
for the University of San Marcos
showed that Lima, thanks to the Indi-
ans, who breed two and one-half times
as rapidly as the whites, has a birth
rate from 20 per cent to 80 per cent
higher than the leading cities of the
world but that its people die about
twice as fast as other urban people;
that a quarter of the deaths are due
to tuberculosis, which is from two to
five times as deadly here as in other
cities; that the loss of infant life is
twice what it is in Liverpool, Ham

is in scandinavian cities. Nearly half
of the hospital patients are victims of

sufferers in and about Lima is reck-

The Mines of Spain.

More than one-third of the quick
silver produced in the world last year
came from the mines of Spain. Those
mines were worked centuries before
Christ, and they seem good for CEN
turtles more. Other quicksilver sup
plies are discovered, exploited for a
time, and exhausted, but no bottom
has been found to the veins Of Spanish
cinnabar.
Many high authorities hold that other
mineral resources of Spain are quite
as splendid in proportion as her SUI
premacy in the production of mercury
Spanish iron ore is sometimes shipped
to the United States, yet the mines are
said to be worked in very clumsy
ineffective fashion. 1t is even claimed
that the coal supplies of the peninsu-
/, are superior to those of any other
mart of the continent, but these, again,
are managed in a careless. indolent,
unscienti1c manner.
