RIO DE JANEIRO: CITY
OF LURE

Rio de Janeiro. first Of the three
South America capitals to be visited
by Secretary Colby on his recent jour
ney of courtesy TO our neighboring
continent. is described as follows In
communication from Harriet Chalmers
Adams to the National Geographic so
ciety:
This city of lure terraces up from
a glorious bay--the Bay OF Guanabara,
mountain enclrcled, isle bejewcled.
From the shore, where parks and bou-
levards are fast crowdlng ous the old
Rio of narrow streets, rise the forested
hills on whose slopes the loveller por-
ton of the city lies. Place your hands
on the table, fingers spread, wrists up
raised. Each finger represents one of
Rios hills; each space between, can
yon up which the city climbs.
MANY OF the new homes cling to the
hillside below the streets and are en-
tered from the roof. Others Of these
cliff dwellings perch high above the
thoroughfare and are reached by a
long flight OF steps or by elevator or
an inclined plane. Some bear the
name of the lady of the manor over
the front door-'villa Rosita. villa
Lucla'-and the dark-eyed lady herself
is often seen leaning from the window.
"Can any other city offer such en-.
tranclng vlstas as those from the
mountain heights back OF Rio? l have
travelled far and have yet TO find It.
Turning hayward. we look down
through frame OF tangled vines and
branches, onto the tree-tops OF the
sloping virgin forest. A scarlet-winged
bird fits to a nearby tree-fern; big

ORIGIN OF april FOOL"

Even In these times of turmoil and
contention, there Is still one day when
not only may man play fool, but
his friends are privileged to give him
n headlOng push down "fOols' hill"
The origin Of the custom Of playing
practical jokes on friends and neigh
bOrs on this "All Fools Day" is vari-
Ously explained. Some of these expla-
nations may interest those who have
eaten cotton pie and bean chocolates.
Some writer's trace the custom back
to the days of the miracle plays given
AT Easter time. one Of the most pOpu-
lar tableaux satirized Ananlas, Gaia
phas, PLATE and HerOd. In the decadent
days OF these dramas actors played
largely for the amusement and APP
plause of the groundllngs, until Herod
in out-Heroding himself, and PLATE, I'm
the performance OF his ablutl0ns, lit
orally made fools of themselves.
A Feast Of Fools" was held In the
early spring by the Romans, and the
Hindus, since time lmmemorlal, have
celebrated as a saturnalla the vernal
equinox. or Feast OF Hull. During
these festivities the chief amusement
seems to have been that OF foollng peo-
pie and sending them on frultless err
rands.
Many students trace the origin back
no farther than France In the six
teenth century. At any rate, the Gus
tom seems TO have radiated from
France TO England, as well as to Ger
many, II we are TO believe what Grimm
says about II. France was the first ma
tion TO adopt the reformed calendar
which decreed that the year should be-
gin on the first Of January. Conse-
quently those who objected 20 sending
out their New Years gifts aud felici-
tatons upon the newly chosen date in
stead Of April !, as they had done pre-
yiously, subjected themselves TO end.
less taunts for being old fogies by
going on visits that had no meaning.
The French call the victim of prank
on April /, "un poisson d'avrll," or ian
April fish" of which our American
Slang, you poor fish," is good trans
lauon. The origin Of the expression
used In this connection probably arose
IN the obvious comparison between
the person who bites" unWittlngly and
the April fish, which is IA young fish
and therefore easily caught.

Since Montevideo is In the southern
hemisphere its seasons are the reverse
Of those in the United States. Visitors
are specially numerous for the bath
ing season. which begins in October,
corresponding to the northern May,
and is at its height at Christmas.
Detached impressions OF MontevideS
will bring to mind many SMILES and
contrasts with better known cities.
Like New York, It covers narrow
peninsula from shore to shore; but In
architecture II Is the antithesis Of the
North American metropolis, being
made up of a seemingly vast number
OF low stone buildings a few two or
three stories In height. the grent ma
jorlty Of them but one story. The prin-
clpal thoroughfare, the Avenue of the
Eighteenth of July, extending along
the ridge Of the peninsula, with its
colOnnades and sidewalk cafes, gives
touch OF Paris. As great packing
center for the live stock produced on
the unsurpassed pastures OF Uruguay
Montevideo Is comparable to Chicago
or Kansas City. Evidence OF this fart
is sometimes waited ON the winds
when they blow TO the city from the
seat OF the gigantic industry across the
bay.
In physical equipment Montevldeo Is
modern. II Is well lighted. well wa
tered adequately supplied with trans
portatlon facilities, and most admira-
bly, drained. Socially IL clings to the
past. following more faithfully than
any other large city outside of Spain
and the Orient the old SpanIsh-AIoor-
ish traditions OF soclety's proper atti-
tude toward women.
AS In other large South American
cities, moving picture theaters are
omnipresent. Most OF the films they
show are imported from the United
States.
Montevldeo is famed for It's port,
which Is one of the best on the Attain
tic coast of the Americas. The city
has population exceeding 100000,
more than quarter of the population
OF the entire 1900 square miles Of the
republic. In 1900 Montevideo was the
largest and most important city In
South America. Il is now surpassed
by Buenos Aires, Rio and Santiago de
Chile, while Its rank MS fourth city Is
closely contested by Sac Paulo, Brazil.

MONTEVIDEO; CITY OF
THE HAPPY MEDIUM

MOntevideo. capital Of the republic
OF Uruguay, was the second stopping
place OF Secretary OF State Colby in
his recent official visit to South Amer
lea.
Physically situated so that II is one
Of the healthlest cities in the world,
with an equable climate which makes
IL delightful place to live In, and nos.
sessing an atmosphere free from the
hustle and noise OF the more modern
and commercial Buenos Aires and the
more metropolitan Rio, MOntevideo has
become the resort city of South Amer
ica's Atlantic coast. Thousands of
wealthy South Americans are to be
found there at nearly all seasons Of
the year, participating In the carnlvals,
gambling I'm the great government
owned casinos that may be compared
TO those Of Monte Carlo, or merely en-
joylng the restful life of this city
which sim clIngs 10 the Spanish habit
Of looking to "manana."
