On unusual drought has caused the
American farmer, Argentine exporters
were getting ready last week for one OF
their most successful business seasons
as q consequence of that same disas-
trous dry spell in the United States:
Business is like galnbling-it strikes
one to benefit anothe:. The hard luck
OF some Is somebody else's fortune. All
cannot be winners, but neither can all
be losers. There is Spanish proverb,
ION your neighbours misfortune depends
your fortune" And Spanish proverbs
come nearer to truth than anything ]
know.
How Is the Argentine farmer going to
profit by the calamities OF q drought
5000 miles away? Very simple. Argen-
tina Is one Of the largest wheat and
grain producers In the world. The pro-
longed dry spell in the United States
has ruined tremendously large crops In
this country. Upon these two premises
known, it Is not difIicult to draw the
conclusion that Argentine wheat, grain
and other farm products will soon begin
to be shipped in considerable amounts
to the ports of Uncle Sam.
So at least Argentine exporters have
understood, and are predicting, accord
ing to newspaper reports, Q most profit
able season for their business.
After all, miniature golf owners and
ice cream manufacturers In this country
will not be the only ones to benefit from
the n.erciless dryness Of the skies.

next day with ships company of IS
for Havre, France, where she was to
be outfitted for the race. Commodore

The America was fitted out for rae
ing, her hull was given coat of black,
her racing sails were bent and she was
made ready In every way for the work
ahead of her.
Havre had been chosen to avoid CIV
ing Englishmen too much opportunity
to study her before the contests. But
this precaution was wasted, for brush

acas first morning in English waters
showed what she could do.
Queen Victoria had presented the
Squadron, which had been organized In
1912. a cup each year from the begin
ming Of her reign. The cup which the
America was to compete for, however,
was never royal trophy, but had been
offered at the Spring meeting OF the
squadron In 1851 and was trophy
for an open race, the first the squad
ron had ever arranged.
Issued Blanket Challenge.
Commodore Stevens sent the follow
ing direct challenge TO the commodore,
Earl Of Wilton, on his arrival at Cowes:
The New York Yacht Club. in order
. 20 test the relative merits of the diff
ferent models of the schooners Of the
Old and New World proposes through

America against any number of schoon-
ers belonging to any OF the yacht
squadrons Of the kingdom"
He stated that the course should be
over some part of the English Channel
outside of the Isle Of Wight, with al
least q 6-knot breeze.
After waiting a week, during which
no meeting was offered, Commodore
Stevens issued a second and more
sweeping challenge to run the America
against any cutter, schooner or vesse
Of any other rig Of the Royal Yacht
Squadron.
Not being successful in obtaining 9
match for the America, the American
skipper entered his boat in the Roya
Squadron regatta, scheduled for Ati'
gust az, 1851, but before this was rur
his challenge was taken by Rober
Stephenson, owner Of the Titania
schooner of 100 tons, to be run on Au

regatta.

Experiment Is Success
After Use Is Avoided

Back in November. 1888, the city en-
gineer Of Honolulu, II. A. r. Austin.
undertook some experiments In the
ocean currents OH Honolulu Harpcf.
The purpose was TO determine whether
II the city's garbage and refuse were
dumped ct sea 1t would be carried away
from the island Of Oahu by the currents
or brought back to land.
One Of the experiments was with bot
ties, into which Engineer Austin put
messages asking any one who found
them to return them TO him with . note
OF the circumstances of the finding.

ECUADOR HIGHWAY.
The Inauguration Of huge central
highway which lifted eight provinces
Of Ecuador, crossing from one end 10
the other the territory OF that South
American republic, was one Of the out
standing features in the ceremonies
last week the first centenary Of their
independence. The Latin American ma
tions have been lately engaged In
most energetic policy Of highway con-
struction and development. They are
beginning to realize that good roads are
q requisite Of domestic progress and the
first step toward successful interna.
tional cooperation. Nothing could bet
ter commemorate the Ecuadorean cen.
tenary than this immense national high
way, which will be q decisive factor In
the economic future Of the country.
SUSPEND TAr.: r DUTIES.
Fol-: ing protests from American ex-
port concerns and discreet diplomatic
representations from the State Depart
ment, tn Argentine Government has
just agreed to suspend the effects OF III
nex tariff duties on American apples
until January ], 1881. These duties
a~1roved shortly after the United States
Congress passed the highly protection.
istic Hawley-Smoot tariff act, had
aroused considerable disquiet- among
American fruit exporters. The Argen-
tine Governments latest attitude seems
to correct the impression that spirit
of reprisal and retaliation against the
new American tariff was prevalent or
the other side Of the Rio Grande.
GETS WRONG COUNTRY.
30 far nearly all extravagant records
in the world have been held In the
Unit States. But the record Of tele-
phonic efficiency" was just achieved In
South America when an English news
paper editor called up an Argentine
editor on the recently inaugurated
transoceanic telephone and was con-
nected instead with another editor In
Chile. The error was promptly recti-
fed as a New York magazine points
out, but not before some unknown tele-
phone girl had achieved the distinction
of being - first one to give q sub
scriber the wrong country.

First to Win Americas CUP

The early reports placed the ship from
the New World behind several of the
English favorites, then as better yacht
ing weather whitened the crests Of the
water. the American ship overlook her
opponents and then, some Of her rivals
seeing her slipping ahead, went back
to Cowes In despair. At $40 that eve
ming the America was fully 7k miles
ahead Of her nearest followers, and
while the breeze died out soon after
that, the America finally crossed the
line. ~
The race with the Titania scheduled
for August 20 gained the America an
other victory and, her mission ended,
she was offered for sale. On September
L, 1851. she was sold to Lord John de
Blaqutere for $4,000. The next year
she entered the Queens Cup race, but
was defeated by two minutes. She was
sold again In 1856 TO Viscount Temple
town. Her next purchaser was Henry
Sotheby Pitcher, who rebuilt her
America Il Sold.
Pitcher In turn sold her to Henry z.
Decie Of Clipstone House On July 30,
1860, Decie. q member of the ROYAL
Western Yacht Club of Plymouth, Eng
land, entered her In the annual regatta
OF his club and on August II she beat
her two rivals and won the prize of so
sovereigns. In the Fall Of 1850 she was
fitted out for a cruise to West Indies.
The next year he again won a prize In
the Queenstown Yacht Club on June
2S, 1861, of Queenstown, Ireland. In
later records, Mr.. Decie appears In the
dual character Of yachtsman and block
ade runner.
That was her last race In British
waters: The next year she was found
by United States Navy officers, sunk in
st. Johns River, above Jacksonville,
miral Du Pont to seize ports and towns
Of Eastern Florida. Raised the Amer
lea was towed to the naval base at Port
Royal, s. c., and after Quitting was
assigned to the blockading feet of
Charleston, 8. G.
1t was claimed that the America was
| owned at the time Of her capture by
the Confederate States, but no record
can be found to prove it. There was
rumor that she was to have been
used to carry the Confederate commits
sioners, Mason and Slidell, TO England,
but that, too, has escaped recording.
After the valiant service during
which she made valuable captures, the
America was ordered north and was
sold in the prize court of New York
| for $700. She was bought by the Gov
eminent, and, 1t is said, though again
there Is no documentary proof, that
her captors waived their claim to prize
money provided that the yacht be
| turned over to the Naval Academy for
| training nidshipmen.
1 But once again she was to race for
the trophy that she had brought from
across the seas in 1851. When the first
challenge was made for the Americas
Cup, in 1870, the Navy had the famous
yacht outfitted at the New York Navy
Yard. She was nominally under the
command Of Capt. Richard e. Meade
but during the race, In which she
finished fourth, she was sailed by
Charles Brown, son Of Capt. Dick
Brown, her original skipper, and wal
