the Flemish name for Antwerp. The
coat of arms of the city still has two
hands upon it.
Whatever may be the truth about
the giant. we know that Antwerp was
a rich commercial center when all
America belonged to the Indians. In
the middle ages it is recorded that
500 wagons passed in and out Of 1t
daily carrying goods, and that 500
ships sailed UP the Scheldt every
twenty-four hours, while $500 might
be seen there at anychor at the same
time.
Later Antwerp surpassed Venice
and Genoa, holding fairs that attract
ed merchants from Europe and Asia;
and about seventy-five years after
John Cabot had discovered North
America among her annual imports
were 100000 worth of grain from
the Baltic and goods from England
worth several times that amount.
They also included more than $4,000
900 worth of spices and sugar and

stopped by the revolutions that fol-
lowed his death. A generation or SO
later, when Belgium separated from
Holland, Antwerp again pulled on her
seven league boots, and she is now
bigger than ever. She has today more
than 100000 people and the harbor
improvements are such that she will
steadily grow.
The charges for loading and un-
loading, especially for manufactured
articles, at Antwerp are less than
those of any other port, and every
modern facility has been created for
the handling Of goods. Moreover,
ships coming here can always find
freight for their return journey. In
1912 tho goods exported equailed more
than so per cent of those imported,
whereas at Hamburg the proportion
was only 4s per cent and at Rotter-
dam 33. More big cargo ships come
into Antwerp than into any other
port on the continent

have above forty miles, with 1900
acres of docks and $4,000 acres of
railway siding and warehouses. It
will then be able to handle 10000, 900
tons of freight every year. This will
be more than twice the present ca
pacity.
We pass railway stations and yards
covering about 500 acres, in which
1900 cars can be accommodated
We stop now and then to see floating
cranes and enormous pneumatic grain
elevators, each Of which handles 5000
bushels of wheat in one hour, or SO
bushels a minute. Antwerp has
twelve of these grain elevators. Con-
slant tells us steamers of 5000 tons
are unloaded within the space of two
days. The port has $40 hydraulic
cranes handling up to two tons; 80
electric cranes, each of two tons, and
larger cranes that will pick up forty
tons at a load. 1t has some 120-ton
shearlegs, coal tip that will lift
car to the height of a five-story
house, and pipes and tanks for load
ing petroleum. There are a half
dozen dry docks here and a new one
which has Just been completed. In
each a great steamer is being re-
paired.

he relaxed somewhat, which gave us
the opportunity Of pulling him nearly
straight out again.

any one getting a shot. All of us saw
him a time or two, but it was only a
fieeting, glimpse as he bounded from
one thicket to another, finally going
still higher up the hill and into a big
cave under some volcanic rocks.
One OF these rocks seemed to be
disconnected from the others and was
as large az a fair sized house.
The opening to the cave was Just
large enough for a man to enter on
hands and knees. In the dogs went

One cause for their scarcity is the

There are also a few brown snakes
