was Santa Fe. To that nobleman
nothing seemed more fitting than to
give to the land he had discovered the
name Of his birthplace-that classic
Santa Fe founded upon royal command
of Ferdinand and Isabella opposite the
opulent Granada, to vex the multitude
of hereto Mohammedans who aroused
the jealousy and resentment of the
Spanish by their fiestas and tuOrneys.
And what a thrill the conquistador
must have felt, yet what inconsistencies
must have been awakened within him
as he gaZed upon plain watched over
by two somber hills, so like that of his
own land, with the Moorish Granada
guarding the Castilian city, writes w.

Pan American Union. But the VAL

the Teuscaquillo or recreation spot of
Zipa de Bacata, it's rightful possessor,

centuries justice should be paid him;
that the very noble and loyal city"
should bear his name, slightly modified.
Old and New Are Mingled.
Bogota, the intellectual and cul-
tured capital city, molder of thought,
home of savants and thinkers, is a
metropolis which, while it can offer
no startling display, claims attention
by reason of the gifts with which ma
ture endowed it. Spring is there eter-
nal; the climate is ideal; the fertility
of the soil surrounding is extraor-
binary. G
BogOta conserves vestiges of her
colonial period. Over the portals of
rambling old houses which defied the
ages are to be seen coats Of arms. The
century-old churches, venerable relics
Of the past, guard beneath panels of
gold and costly wood collections of
mastery paintings; Byzantine cornices
Of arabesque designs abut the granite
pilasters which support arches, and
VI "iouShl 6OAu anu SiAVSA
the choir lofts are to be seen.
On the other hand, the tendency to-
ward twentieth century building is ir-
resistible, and the most up-to-date tai
ent is displayed in the erection of lux
urious shomes or public buildings in
Bogota today.
The national capital situated on the
southern side of the Plaza de Bolivar,
resembles the Church of the Madeleine
in Paris, and is considered one of the
best stone edifices in South America.
Along the entire western side Of the
plaza extends buildings uniformly Of
pure French style, and along the north
ern side modern buildings occupied by
banks and commercial houses; on the
eastern side is the cathedral. .
From the Plaza de Bolivar the main
thoroughfares extend in every direc-
ton, almost oil paved with asphalt
and kept in excellent condition by the
municipality. Gale Real, the principal
business street, and Florian street are
the most bustling of the city. The for
mer, a wide thoroughfare, merges into
Republic avenue (Avenida de la Re

publica), flanked by modern buildings
and traversed by electric cars.
Called the Athens of the South.
The Colombian capital has long
been the patron of science. The as
Economical observatory, National Lii
brary, the academies, museums and
universities form a group of institu-
lions which maintain the right of Bo-
gotta to be considered the athens Of
the South" the name with which Eu-
ropean scholar christened her.
The observatory owes it's existence
to the efforts of the naturalist, jose
Celestino Mutiz. 1t is octagonal in
form, 2,636 meters above sea level;
hence, is one of the highest of the
world and possesses a valuable set Of
instruments for taking observations.
The academies were established by
devotees of science and art. The Ian
guage academy recently took posses
sion Of a new building. The Museum
of Bogota contains objects of beauty
and considerable historic worth. A
Museum of Natural History founded
by the Christian Brotherhood (Her-
manos Christianos) possess exhaustive
collections.
The universities happily own ade-
quate buildings. Recently the build
ing to be used for anatomic lecture
halls was completed, equipped much
like the corresponding building of the
University of Paris. Public instruc-
ton is becoming constantly more wide
ly diffused and Bogota is the center Of
scsaools supported by the government.
Cultured and Prosperous.
Bsgota, by the refinement of its in
habItants and the luxury in evidence,
might be taken for European city.
Culture is marked; foreign news is re-
ceived promptly; desirable features Of
Paris and London are initiated to stim-
ulate progress. Unfortunately, owing
to the extreme narrowness of the
streets, many Of the architectural fea-
lures of the city cannot be appre-
ciated; nevertheless, upon contemplate
ing the constant progress Of the cap
ital and its development, one is forced
to the conclusion that Bogota will be-
come an imperial city in the western
world, the heart Of the plateau which
extends 16 leagues from north to south
and from east to west
Economically Bogota is on sound
footing, being a commercial and bank
ing center Of constantly growing i'm
portance. There are five banks of
large capital, the American Mercantile
bank (Banco Mercantil Americano)
having been established last year, and
at present the establishment of an
other is under consideration. Several
insurance companies contribute to the
success of financial enterprises. Large
export houses have founded headquar-
tiers there and importation is conducted
on rather large scale. Foreign credit
companies in the United States and Eu-
rope are added factors in Bogota's de-
velopment. Industry also is being ex-
plotted. Thread and textile industries
compete with foreign establishments in
the production of fabrics and cloth.
Stock raising is increasing consider
ably on the plain, the strains having
been carefully selected from stock
brought from England, and the wool
market is plentiful.

UNHURT BY LONG IMMERSION
Articles SaIvaged From Sunken Ships
Found to Be Practically Unframed
by Action of Water.

Capt. Reginald Humphreys of the
British navy in speaking of the action
of the sea on vessels and merchandise
says:
Wooden ships, after being sunk,
are rapidly covered with a marine
growth which forms a sort Of lime
deposit and preserves the wood in some
cases for several centuries. We are
informed by one of the underwriters
of New York who had charge Of the
salvage operation on the Oregon that
bicycles were brought up from her hold
that had been in the water over four
months and yet looked as bright as
when they went down; also silks the
outer folds of which only were in
jured."
Some wines that had been recOv-
cred from a vessel sunk about fifty
years brought $50 bottle at auction.
Gold and some other metals, glass and
precious stones are never affected.
A new avenue of wealth is opened
to the world by means of the salvaging
submarine.
