The pres- ence of the convicts caused the estab lishment of a coaling station for ves- sels passing through the Straits of Magellan, and Punta Arenas passed a colorless existence until a few years ago, when the discovery was made that southern Patagonia was the finest sheep-raising country in the world. We are accustomed to think of the tip of the South American continent as a polar region, says a writer in the Americas, Its latitude does in fact correspond to that of Alaska, and the sen 18 occasionally encumbered with {cebergs, but ocean currents warm the land, producing a climate more equa- ble than that of Kentucky, The pas- tures are green all the year round, and no houses need be bullt for sheep. With the discovery of the sheep- raising possibilities of Patagonia, Scotchmen and Englishmen from the Falkland islands thronged to the main- great sheep ranches were estab lished, and Punta Arenas became a modern city of 17 000 population, with lights, theaters, banks, four newspapers, mood schools, ete. It Is the commercial outlet for a great ag- ricultural and mining district, The transportation demands of Pat- agonia developed after the coming of the automoblle, and as a result, all passenger transportation is carried on by auto. The one raliroad in the coun- try is not a passenger road. Passable highways and the: Inte rnal combustion engine are dependency of this newest civilization in the world. When Things Go Wrong.
