When rain falls In tropical countries
there is no mistake about 1t. The rain
comes as If it meant to sweep away
all such trities rs trees and bushes
a man who goes out in this delugc
must protect himself, but he finds that
a macintosh of the Iightest kind has
It's disadvantages. for If 1T keeps the
rain out, 1t also keeps the heat in.
The raincoat devised by the Mexi-
cans is called Chino" and is so por-
GUS that the heat of the body readily
escapes, while owing to Its construc-
ton 1t keeps the wcarer dry. The
chino Is made of numberless long, mar
row strips of dried palm-leaf, one end
of each strip being woven into q ligh,
fabric and the rest falling loose. The
wearer of this garment rustles as he
walks. and the rain pattering upon it
makes Il pleasant sound. Arrived at
tho house, he takes off his palm-leaf
hat, shakes it, and hangs it up to dry.
Then he slips off his chino. shakes
that also, and hangs it up he him
self is untouched by the rain but the
chino. as 1t hangs up, looks like q
huge, damp. brown cassock. Surely
this raincont is the quaintest in the
world.
