Maize.

The chances are that you have never
been to Maize. The tours of Cook know
il NOT. no p and O. liners rattle down
their anchor chains in its turquoise
bay: there are no hotels marked with
significant stars in Baedeker to be
found in Maize. Yet it is quite 1ncor<
rect to speak of Maine as cut off from
the world steamer touches there
regularly every two months. Besides
that. seven or eight other ships year
NAV put into the bay on one errand or
another.
Maize looks like the second act tropi-
cal setting in a musical comedy. The
sea is deep sky blue. the land is
green as emerald with palms and troplc
bush. The waves rise smooth ana
lazy before cresting over in a sheeny
curve to break in cottony white foam.
Behind the belt of tall palms rise rocky
hills, looking deceptively blue and dis
tant in the damp air. The sky is feck-
ed with soft white clouds, that can
hank and darken in the turn of a hand.

dry of all information and gossip about
world affairs, but he will gain a new
feeling of importance from the manner

| ing from the outside is the greatest
| possible distinction.
! Life in Maize is hard to bear: the
visitor wonders how the Inhabitants
| put up with it. The equatorial heat is
| frightful; there is no difference be
tween summer and winter in this city
on the line. The oppressive. damp
heat that we know on a few summer
DAYS prevails in Maize 365 days in the
! year. They speak of a hot season and
| a cool season there. but you feel that
| of drawing fine distinctions. The peo-
pie sally forth at dawn; at am. houses
are shaded and closed for the day.

| to the heat. Their life is a striking
example of the fact that the human
