TRAVELETTE'
BY NIKSAH.
Punta Arenas.

Punta Arenas is the chief settlement
upon TERRA del Fuego, the largest is
land of the archipelago which extends
south from the Strait of Magellan to
Cape Horn. 1t is bleak bit of town,
where the sheep men of the uplands
come to trade, and where the infre-
quent vessels touch.
TERRA del Fuego has one of the most
inhospitable climates in the world.
Rain, sleet and snow fall all the year
around and are often driven by bitterly
cold Winds The actual temperature,
however, does not get very low, but
neither does it become warm enough
for real growing season. Hence 1t Is
impossible to raise grains and fruits;
only the hardest bulbous vegetables
will mature during the brief summer.
Naturally. this island was one of the
very last accessible lands to be settled.
1t was long left to the hardy Onas. last
men of the stone age, who hunted the
great herds of guanaco that ranged
the northern half of the island.
At last some trader reached the con-
clusion that where the guanco, a sort
of wild lama, could live his near cous-
in. the domestic sheep, could also be
raised. So sheep were introduced into
the northern part of the island, and
there began between the white men
and the Onas one of those long wars
of treachery and destruction which al
ways ensue when the barbarian and
the civilized man come into contact.
The white men destroyed the guanaco
herds in order to save the range for
the sheep. Finding their natural food
supply cut off, the Onas proceeded to
take a living from the sheep herds.
and that in no picayune manner. They
would drive a whole herd into noun
tain stream, until part of the animals
could cross on the drowned bodies of
their comrades. These they would take
to some far mountain fastness, kill
them, and sink their meat In the icy
streams. where 1t would freeze and
keep Long time.
The white men retaliated by shooting
the Onas on sight, and poisoning the
blubber of stranded whales. of which
the Indians are very fond. OF course it
was losing fight for the Onas, They
have been reduced from three thousand
to about three hundred, and this rem
nant of the race is living in the for
ests on the southern part of the island,
where it is not moletsed.

Using the Guins.

Crushed waste brick is used as substi-
tute for stone in the formula for the con-
crete now being used to fireproof San
F'rancisco's new city hall. Great guam
titles of this old brick incumber many
parts OF San Francisco as a result of the
disaster of 1906. When the plans for the
construction of the beautiful new civic
center, Of which the city hall forms a
part, We're under consideration, the re-
moval of this old brick was considerable
item in the estimate of expense. After a
number of experiments it was decided to
utilize it in the construction of the new
buildings.
A gyrator rock crusher was erected,
which receives the brick, with its adhering
mortar, in chunks, just as it is found, and
speedily reduces it into bits. No trouble
has been experienced from the excessive
lime. The ground brick is substituted for
rock and forms substantial concrete
which withstands the most rigid tests

A Fetriied Bridge

The petrified forests of Arizona which
have only recently been placed under
the protection of the United States gov
ernment, contain wonders which are
beginning to command the attention of
tourists. One of these is remarkable
natural bridge, which has lately been
strengthened to preserve it for poster
ity. This bridge is composed of a single
petrified tree, which spans chasm 20
feet wide and so deep. Last year, two
strong piers were built under it to re-
inforce it. Biologists claim that this
log originally fell upon solid ground.
and the erosionS OF centuries wore
away the gorge beneath it.
The logs in this great prehistoric
forest all belonged to single species
of coniferous trees similar to the COM
mon pine. The action of water replaced
the wood fiber with silica of the most
brilliant colors. 1t is harder than flint.
and for centuries was used by the In
dians for their sharpest arrow heads.
Visitors to the forest are no longer al
lowed to break off pieces from the
large logs, but are permitted to carry
away chips of the shining rock, with
which the ground is still covered.
