lasted half the morning. Considerable
temper was expended on both sides;
and the argument ended by the ar.
rieros' herding up their mules. fording
the river, and disappearing into the
far fringe of trees.
Their act condemned us to the
desert island Of Espia for term that
would end only when Indians should
come and rescue us with balsa RATS.
For without mules it was utterly inn
possible, of course, to transport three
tons of expedition equipment across
that river, to a new camp site.
Never was place so thoroughly
cursed. Neither insect nor plant nor
animal nor human lived in that mile
by half a mile of empty loop between
the river and the cliff. Wherefore no

of interest to employ his time. So

Deliverance came out of blue sky

TRAVELLING SALMON.

THE salmon spends two thirds of
l. his time travelling from the place
OF his birth to the sea and running
from the sea up the rivers again. At
least two months of each year are
passed in the sea. What his life is
while he is in the sea, naturalistS have
no means of knowing. His structure
enables him to indulge his passion
for gymnastics. His oar-shaped tail
Is provided with powerful muscles,
and on these he leans when leaping
over waterfalls. When ready to begin
his exercises he curves his spine to
form q spring, then. rapidly unbend-
ing it, strikes the water violently,
leaning, so to speak, on the water,
and springing to a height of 16 feet
or more to pass over the obstacle in
view. This agility Is the result of
practice.
Until the salmon is about q year
old he has nothing Of the appearance
OF the salmon. When Of adult age he
acquires a handsome coat, joins the
school," and. with his companions,
swims down the river to the sea,
where he disappears, to live his un-
known life for time and to grow fat.
When he reappears he swims up
the river. Some believe that he re-
turns to the stream of his birth. His
visit to his birthplace ended. he takes
to the river and seeks the sea again.
During his sojourn there his stomach
rounds out, and he acquires great
beauty and sickness. Returning to
the river. he finds mate and hollows
out q bed in the bottom. There the
pair deposit their spawn and cover
the whole nest with sand, and then,
having done all required Of them by

After much similar travel, we came
to Espia. the place that was marked
on the government maps as a town
OF considerable size. A guide from
the last of the little hermit colonies
said that he knew Espia perfectly
well, and he took us there and left us.
Our long train Of dear, obstinate,
companionable mules left US. Our

THERE was no time to question, no
l. time to stand aghast. Our wits
were becoming accustomed to the un-
expected on the trail. The Scribe of
the expedition and I in the same
breath urged the Director to go back,
reford the river, and pitch camp on
the farther side, where we should have
the shelter OF the forest and be in
touch with the other stream Of clear
water.
Then, the arrieros played the first
mean hand. They collected their
mules and gear. and prepared to start
off on their long trek homeward.
"But heyl wait minuter' the Di-
rector held them. I'VE don't like this

We went to investigate with guns and
flashlights, and found that the mil.
lionth unexpected chance had actually
happened. Two scared Indians had
come up from the far settlements.
They were q miracle. No Indians
had been there, so far as our guide
knew, for year or more.
There was a mission, they told us,
away down the river and up another
river. 1t could be reached in perhap
two weeks Of hard travel downstream
il one stopped for nothing and kept
going from dawn till dark. We
shouted our Joy and relief. This must
be the mythical mission Of Espia, Of

WE made those Indians rich for

we gave them; and gave Herewith
elaborate instructions for their imme.

quoted the authority of the Bolivian

The obdient Indians prepared to 60

nature, they run down the river to
the sea. Some species, however, die
after spawning. In the salmon
streams fish are to be seen swimming
in shoals, led by aged but vigorous
chaperons.
Artificial salmon beds are made by
spreading fine gravel on rocks and
laying ON it spawn taken from the
natural bed with specially designed
shovels. In six weeks the eggs hatch,
and the little fish are fed on bread
crumbs or finely chopped meat. AS
they rush at their food they are
caught and placed in reservoir or
cistern. where they are nourished on
meat. When large enough they are
transferred to more extensive tanks.
When their striped gray and black
suits change to backs of slate blue
and flank coverings and stomachers
of silvery gray. shimmering with all
the colorings of mother-of-pearl. they
are salmon. Then they are taken to
market or used to restock the rivers.

There Is q law above all the enact.

loathe rapine and abhor blood, they
will reject with indignation the wild
and guilty phantasy that man can
hold property in man.
Mr.. Sumner resumed: Looking
carefully at slavery as it is, we shall
find that 1t Is not merely o single
gross pretension, utterly inadmissible,
but an aggregation of gross preten-
sions, all of them utterly inadmissible.
They are i've in number; first, the
