Chronicles of Gautam Buddha. Far from the haunts of company officers who insist upon kit-inspections, far from keen-nosed sergeants who snift the pipe staffed into the bedding roll, two miles from the tumult of the barracks, lies the Trap. It is an old dry well, shadowed by a twisted pipal tree, and fenced with hich grass. Here, in the years gone by, did PriTate Ortbens establish his depot and menagerie for snch possessions living and dead as could cot safely be introduced to the bar rack room. Here were gathered Hondin pallets, and fox terriers of undoubted pedi gree and more than doubtful ownership, for Ortheris was an inveterate poacher and pre eminent among a regiment of seat-handed dog stealers. Sever again will the long lazy evenings return wherein Ortheris, whistling softly, coved surgeouwise among the cantives of his craft at the bottom of the well; when Xiearoyd sat in the niche, civing sage coun sel on the management of "tykes," and Mulvaney, from the crook of the overhang ing pipal, waved his enormons boots in benediction above oar heads, delighting us with tales of Jove and war, and strange ex periences of cities and men. Ortheris landed at last in the "little stuff bird shop" for which your soul longed; Learoyd back again in the smoky, stone ribbed North, amid the clang of the Brad ford looms; Mulvaney grizzled, tender and very wise Ulysses, sweltering on the earth work of a Central India line judge if I have forgotten old days in the Trap! Orth'ris, as alius thinks he knaws more than other foaks, said she wasn't a real laady, but nobbut a Hewrasian. I don't gainsay as her caller was a bit doosky like. Bnt she was a laady. "Why, she rode in a car nage, an good osses, too, an her air was that oiled as you could see yonr faice in it, an' she wore dimond rings an'agoold chain, an' silk an' satin dresses as mnn a' cost a deal, for it isn't a cheap shop as keeps enough o' one pattern to fit a fignre like hers. Her name was Mrs. DeSussa, an' t' waay I coom to be acquainted wi' her was along of onr Colonel's Iaady's dog Kip. I've seen a vast o dogs'but Kip was t prettiest picterof a cliver fox-tarrier 'at iver I set eyes on. Heconld do owt yon like bnt speesk, an' t' Colonel's laady set more store by him than if he had been a Christian. She had bairns of her awn, but they was i' England, and Bip seemed to get all t' coodlin and pettin' as belonged to a bairn by rood right. But Bip were a bit on a rover, an' hed a habit o' breakin' ont o' barncks like, and trottin' round t' plaice if he were t canton ment magistrate coom round inspectin'. The Colonel leathers him once or twice, bnt Kip didn't care, an kept on gooin' his rounds, wi' his taail a-waggin' as if he were flag signallin' to t' world at large 'at he was "gettin" on nicely, thank ye, and how's yo'sen?', An then t' Colone'l, as was noa sort of a band w' a dog, tees him oop. A real clipper of a dog, an' it's noa wonder you laady, Mrs. DeSussa, should tek a fancy tiv ium. Theer's one o' t' Ten Com mandments says you maun't cuvvet your seebor's ox nor his jackass, bat it doesn't say not about his tarrier do", an' happen thot's t' reason why Mrs. DeSussa envveted Eip, tho she went to church reg'lar along wi' her husband, who was so much darker 'at if he hedn't snch a good cooat tiv his back yo might ha' called him a black man and nut tell a lee nawtber. They said he addled his brass i' jute, an' he'd a rare lot on it Well, you seen, when they teed Kip t' up, poor awd lad didn't enjoy very good 'elth. Bo t' Colonel's laady sends -for me as 'ad a naame for bein' knowledgeable about a dog, an' axes what's ailin' wi' him. "Why," says I, "he's getten t' mopes, an what he wants is his liubaty au' coom uany like t rest on us; wal happen a rat or two 'ud liven him oop. It's low, mum," says I, "is rats, but it's t' nature of a dog; an' boa's cnttin' ronnd an' meetin' another dog or two an' passin t' time o' day, an' hevvin' a bit of a turn-up wi him like a Christian." So she says her dotr maun't niver fight an noa Christians iver fought "Then what's a soldier for?" says I; an I explains to her t' contrairy qualities of a dog, 'at, when yo" coom to think on't, is one o' t' curusest things as is. For they larn to behave theirsens like gentlemen born, fit for t' fost o' coompany thev tell me t' Widdy uerseu is tona 01 a good aog an Knaws one when she sees it as well as onny body; then, on t'other hand, a-tewin'" round after cats an gettin' mixed oop i' all manners o' blackgnardlv street rows, an' killin' rats, an ngnun lice a evils. TO ieK nip out a-waicm wr you sometimes; but yo' maun't let him fight, nor chase cats, nor do nowt 'orrid;" an them was her very wods. Soa Eip an' me gooes out a-walkin o evenin's, he bein a dog as did credit tiv' a man, an' I catches a lot o' rats an we bed a bit of a match on in an awd dry swimmin' bath at back o' t' cantonments, an' it was none so long afore he was as bright as a button again. He hed a way o' fiyin at them big valler pariah does as if he Vas a harrow offan a bow, an though his weight were nowt, he tuk em so snddint-like they rolled over like skittles in a halley, an' hen they coot he stretched after 'em as if e were rabbit-runnin. Saame with cats hen he cud get t' cat gaateo" runnin. One evenin' him tan' me was trespassin' ovver a compound wall after one of them mongooses 'at he'd started, an we was busy ' grubbin' round a pickle-hush, an' when we looks up there was Mrs. DeSussa wi' a parasel ovver her shoulder, a-watchin' us. "Ob, my!" she sings out; "there's that lovelee dog! Would he let me stroke him. Mister Soldier?" "Aye, he would, mum," sez I, "for he's fond o' Iaady's coompany. Come here. Kip, an' speeak to this kind Iaadv." An' Eip, aecin' 'at t .mongoose hed getten clean awaay, cooms up like t' gentleman he was, nivver a hauportb shy nor okkord. An' at lung length it cooms ont 'at she'd been thrawin' sheep's eyes, as t' savin' is, at Kip tor many a day. Yo' see, her childer was grown up, an' she'd nowt mien to do an' were alius fond of a dog. Soa she axes me if I'd tek somethin' to dhrink. An' we goes into t' drawn-room, wheer her husband was a-settin. They meks a curt fuss oner t' dog, an' I has a bottle o' aale, an' he gave me a handful o' cigars. Soa I coorned away, bnt t' awd lass sings ont: "Ob, Mister Soldier, please coom again an' bring that prettee dog." I didn't let on t' colonel's laady about Mrs. DeSussa, an' Kip, he says nowt nawther; au I gooes again, an' ivrjr time there was a good dhrink an a handfnl o' good smooaks. An' I teUed the awd lass a heeap more bout Eip than I'd ever heeard; how he tuk t" fost prize at Lunnon dog-show, and cost thotty-three pounds lowqr shillin' from t' man as bred him; 'at his own brother was t proppnttyo' t' Prince o Wailes, an' at Tift had a rtedifree. as lnnf. c rtnnb'e An' she lapped it all oop, an were niver j tired o' admirin' him. But when 't awd lass took to givin' me money' an' I seed 'at she were gettin' fair fond about t' dog, I began to suspicion summat Onny body may give a soldier t' price of a Dint in a friendly way an' theer's no harm done, but when it comos to five rupees slipt into your hand, sly-like, why it's what t' ' lectioneer in fellows calls bribery an' corruption. Snecially when Mrs. DeSnssa threwed hints how t' cold weather would soon be ovver, an" she was goin' to Munsooree Pahar an' we was goin' Eawalpindi, an' she would niver see Eip anv more onless somebody she knowed on would be kind tiv her. Soa I tells Mulvaney an' Ortheris all t' taale thro, beginnin' to end. " 'lis larceny that wicked ould lady manes," says t' Irishman; " 'tis felony she is sejnicln' ye into, my friend Learoyd, bnt I'll ported yonr innocince. I'll mto ye from the wicked wiles ay : that wealthy onld woman, an' I'll go wid ve this evenin' an' spake to her the wurrds av truth an' hon esty. But Jock," says he, waggin' his heead, " 'twas not like ye to kape all that good dhrink an' thlm fine cigars to yerself, while Orth'ris here an' me have been prowl in' round wid throats as dry as limekilns, an' nothin' to smoke but canteen plug. 'Twas adhirty thrick to play on a comrade, for why should yon, Learoyd, be balancin' yourself on the butt av a satin chair, as if Terence Mulvaney was not the aqnil av anybody who thrades in jute!" "Let me alone," sticks in Orth'ris, "but that's like Hie. Them wofs really fitted to decorate society get no show, while a blun der! n' Yortcshireman like you " "Nay," says I, "it's none o' t' blunderin' Yorkshireman she wants, it's Eip. He's t' gentleman this journey." Soa t next day Mulvaney an' Bip an' me goes to Mrs. DeSussa's. an' t' Irishman bein' a strainger, she wor a bit shy at fost Bnt yo've heeard Mulvaneytalk, an yo may believe as he fairly bewitched t' awd lass wal she let out 'at "she wanted to tek Eip away wi' her to Munsooree Pahar. Then Mulvanev changes his tune an' axes her solemn-like if she d thought o t conse quences o' gettin' two poor but honest sol diers sent t' Andamning Islands. Mrs. De Sussa began to cry, so Mulvaney tarns round opuen t' other tack an' smooths her down, allowin' 'at Eip ud be a vast better off in t' hills than down 1' Bengal, an' 'twas a pity he shouldn't go wheer he was so well beliked. An' soa be went on, backin' an' fillin' an' workiu' up t' awd lass wal she felt as if her Hie warn't worth nowt if she didn't heve t' dog. . Then all of a suddint he says: "But ye shall have him, tnarm, for I've a leelin' heart, not like this could-blooded Yorkshire man; hut 'twill cost ye not a penny less than three hundher rupees." "Don't yo' believe him, mum," says I; "t Colonel's laadv wouldn't tek 500 for him." "Who said she would? says Mulvaney; "it's not buy in' him I mane, but for the sake o' this bind, good laady, I'll do what I never dreamt to do in mv life. I'll staale him!" "Don't say steal," says Mrs. DeSnssa; "he shall have the happiest home. Dogs often get lost, von know, an' then thev stray. an' he likes uie an' I like him as 1 niver liked a dog yet, an I must hev him. If I got him at 't last minute I conld carry him off to Munsooree Pahar, an' nobody would niver knaw." Now an' again Mulvaney looked acrost at me, an' though I could mak nowt o' what he was atter, I concluded to tak his leead. "Well, mum,' I says, "I never thowt to coom down to dog stecilin', but if my com rade sees how it could be done to oblige a laady like yo'sen, I'm nnt t' man to hod back, tho' it's a bad business, I'm thinkin', an' 300 rupees is a poor set-off again t' chance o' them Damning islands as Mul vaney talks on." "I'll mek it 330," says Mrs. DeSussa; "only let me hev t dogl" So we let her persuade as. an' she teks Kip's measure theer an' then, an sent to Hamilton's to order a silver collar again t' time when he was to be her awn, which was to be t' day she set off for Munsooree Pahar. "Sitha, Mulvaney," says I, when we was outside, "you're niver goin' to let her hev Eip!" "An' would ye disappoint a poor old woman?" says he; "she shall have a Eip." "An' wheel's he tocome through?" says I. "Learoyd, my man," he sings out, "you're a pretty man av your inches an" a good com rade, but your head is made av duff. Isn't our friend Orth'ris a Taxidermist, an' a rale artist wid his nimble white fingers? An' whi't a Taxidermist bnt a man who can thrate shkins? Do ye mind the white dog that belongs to the Canteen Sargint, bad cess to him he that's lost half his time an' snarlin' at the rest? He shall be lost for good now; an' do ye mind that he's the very spit in shape an' size av the Colonel's barrin' that his tail is an inch too long, -an' he has none av the color that divarsifies the rale Eip, an' his timper is that av his masther an' worse. But (what is an inch on a" dog's tail? An' fwhat to a professional like Orth'ris is a few ringstraked shpots av black, brown an' white? Nothin' at all, at all." Then we meets Orth'ris. an' that little man bein' sharp as a needle, seed his way throught t' business in a minute. An' he went to work a practisin' 'air-dyes the very next day, beginnin' on some white rabbits he had, an' then he drored all Eip's mark- in s on t Dace of a white Commissariat bollock, so as to get his 'and in an' be sure of his colors; shadiu' off brown into black as nateral as life. It Eip hed a fault it was too mich markin', bnt it was strangely reg'lar, an' Orth'ris settled himself to make a lost-rate job on it when he got haud o' t' Canteen bargint's dog. Theer niver was sich a dog as thot for bad temper, an' it did nut get no better when his tail hed to be fettled an inch an' a half shorter. Bat they may talk o' theer Eoyal Academies as they like. I niver seed a bit o' animal paintin' to beat t' copy as Orth'ris made of Eip's marks, wal t' picter itself was snarlin' all t' time an' tryin' to get at Bip standin theer to be copied as good as goold. Orth'ris alius hed as mich conceit on him sen as would lilt a balloon, an' he wor so pleeased wi' h's sham Eip he wor for tek kiug him to Mrs. DeSussa beore she went away. Bat Mulvaney an' me stopped thot, knowin' Orth'ris' work, though niver so cliver, was nobbut skin deep. An' at last Mrs. DeSussa fixed t' day for startin' to Munsooree Pahar. We was to teK Eip to t' stayshun i' a basket an' hand him ovver just "when they was ready to start, and then she'd give us t' brass as was agreed upon. An' my wodl It were high time she were off, lor them 'air-dyes upon t' cur's back took a vast of paintin' to keep t' reet caller, tho' Orth'ris spent a matter o' 7 rupees 6 annas l t best arooggist snops l Calcutta, An' t' Canteen Sargint was lookin' for 'is dog everywheer; an', wi bein' tied up, t' beast's titnper got waur nor ever. It wor l t' eveniu' when t' train started thro' Howrah, an' we 'elped Mrs. DeSussa wi' about 60 boxes, an' then he gave her t' basket Orth'ris, for pride av his work, axed ns to let him coom along wi' ns, an' he couldn't help liftin t' lid an' showin' t' cur as he lay coiled oop. "Ohl" says t awd lass, "the beautee! How sweet he looks!" An' just then t' beauty snarled an' showed his teeth, so Mul vaney shuts down t' lid and says: "Ye'll be careful, niarm, when ye tek him out He's disaccustomed to traveling by t' rail way, an he'll be sure to want his rale mis tress an' his friend Learoyd, so ye'll make allowance for his leelings at fost." She would do all thot an' more for the dear, good Eip, an' she would nut oppen t' basket till they were miles away, tor fear anybody should recognize him, an' we were real good and Kind soldier men, we were, an' she honds me a bundle o' notes, an' then cooms up a few of her relatives an' iriends to say goodby not more than 75 there wasn't an' we cuts away. What coom to 350 rupees? Thot's what I can scarcelins tell yon, but we melted it ins tell yon, but we melted it It was share an' share alike, for Malvanev said: "It Learoyd got hold of Mrs. DeSussa first, sure 'twas I that remimbered the Sar gint's dog jost in the nick av time, an' Orth'ris was the artist av janius that made a work av art ont av that ngly piece av ill nature. Yet, by the way av a thank-o ferin' that I was not led into felony by that wicked ould woman, I'll send a thrifle to Father "Victor for the people he's always beggin' for." Bnt me an Orth'ris, he being' Cockney an' I bein pretty far north.'did nnt seeit i' t saame way. We' getten t' brass an' we mcaned to keep it An' soa we did for a short time. Noa noa, we niver heeard a wod more o' t' awd lass. Oar rlg'mint went to Pindi, an' t' Canteen Bargint he got himself an other tyke insteead a t' one 'at got lost so reg'lar an' was lost for good at last BIG FIELDS FOE M0NEY-HAKIKG. Inexhaustible Petroleum Deposits and Great Beds of Guano, EEMABKABLE CLIMATIC C0NTEASTS The Peruvian coast, from frontier at the river Sama to the Chilian the Ecuador line, is virtually rainless, but the physical aspects of the "phenomenon are less con spicuous there than in the southern reaches of barren cliff and desert plateau from Arica to Coquimbo. The mountainous seawall re cedes; the sand dunes widen, and the fertile valleys through which the Andean streams trickle sluggishly are fresh in their verdure. Some of these oases in the maritime desert are sugar plantations under cultivation a few miles from the sea. From the Bay of Callao there is a far-reaching vista of fertile bottom lands, where several valleys are inter locked and walled up in the East by the spurs of the Cordillera. Pisco, with its sandy bar rens, is the gateway to the vineyards of Yea, where delicious grapes are raised for wine. At Chimbote, says a New York Tribune correspondent writing from Payta, a day's run from Callao, there is one of the best harbors to be found on the coast, and there is an admirable site for a flourishing city on shores protected from the high snrf and wide-rolling swell of the Pacific, hat, owing to a perversity of human nature, peculiar to the rainless belt, there is no shipping in the bav and there is no town where there ought to be one. Higher up the coast there are rivers which have worn a passage through the maritime range and bring foaming torrents from the nean oi me Andes an ine yearrouna. u the northern province of Piura, where the seaboard is rounded oat into the western most promontories or South America, there is thelargest and most sterile of the Peruv ian deserts a region pierced by three rivers which never ran dry, yet bare and unpro ductive. .This is the last of these coast Saharas to be seen as one journeys north ward to Panama. The Golf of Guayaquil is the limit of the rainless belt, which stretches southward and eastward 2,000 miles. A DEEAET EF.OIOK. The Chilian desert coast is bordered bv a continuous line of red and gray palisades. It is barren and monotonons, yet always bold, and sometimes not without elements of rugged majesty. The Peruvian coast has no compensating scenic advantages for its vistas ot dreary desolation. The maritime hills are in the background veiled with mists, and their shadowy shapes are without picturcsqueness of outline, differing mark edly irom the majestic mountains on the Atlantic seaboard. Low, shelving slopes and in ragged shingles ot spongy beach,over which flocks of guano birds are constantly circling.in their fishing excursions. Even the glimpses of the river. valleys are disap pointing, these are often verynarrow near the sea, and such vegetation as there may be has an unnatural hue,as if it were nourished by foal drainage, instead of water filtered from the snow beds of the. Andean summits. The Chilian towns of Tarapaca are inex pressibly dreary, bat there are signs of life, bustle and commercial activity to be dis cerned in their streets and roadsteads. Even the climate degenerates as one goes north, jquique, while compelled to pay 3 cents a gallon for distilled sea water, and denied all glimpses of the world of vegeta tion, apart from the geranium stands in its seaside beer saloons, has an equable and drv climate, which cannot be excelled. The Peruvian coast has all the desolating cffectB of a rainless zone without the compensating advantage of dryness. From May to Octo ber there is a fog, and the air is often raw. At Lima the mists are a substitute lor rain, and ranges of hills, barren at other periods. are clothed with verdure, yellow lilies and wildflowers for a texr weeks in May and June. Even in the heated term there is a sense of dampness, and the atmospheric condition familiarly known in New York as humidity is reproduced. At sea, mist is in frequent from October to April, but daring the remainder of the year navigation of the Peruvian coast is rendered both difficult and dangerous by dense fogs. ONliY ONE TBEE VISIBLE. Payta. on the northern edge of the Peru vian seaboard, is remarkably free from fog, and has a climate almost as dry as that ot Iqnique. The temperature is higher, tjince the equator lies only 6 to the north, but the heat is not so intense as it is on the same parallel on the Atlantic side. The town stands at the base of yellow sand hills, sur rounded by genuine deserts. A more dreary and melancholy port cannot be found on the seaward edge of the Sahara. Captain Hullan, of the Coquimbo, produced a glass which enabled me to see one tree on a dis tant hill, bnt that was the only sign oi vegetation in that scene of desola tion. The houses are built of reeds plastered together with mad. The roors are thatched with reeds and straws, and the sidewalks are fall ing apart and ragged with rents. In a dusty plaza there is a church with frame towers coated with adobe. One mean and dreary street leads into another meaner and dreari er, until the naked slopes of the sand hills are reached. The town has a population of 8,000, mainly Indians and half-breeds. It once had a large share in the Guayaquil hat industry, bat the natives in the interior no longer "send their stocks to shops where goods cannot be sold. It is the chief ship ping point for the interior, and is connected by railway with Pinra, a larger town; but, notwithstanding these advantages, its com merce and industries seem to be wasting away from sheer inanition. The American Vice Consul explained to me why the town is now languishing. It is the outlet for a cotton district, which is del pendent upon a heavy rainfall that occurs once in seven years. Ordinarily there are only a few light showers in the course of the winter, and often there is no rain at all from the beginning to the end of the year; but periodically there is a month of drenching rainfall. Then the rivers overflow their banks, the valleys are inundated, and the soil is fertilized for the crops of several suc cessive years. Those are years of plenty, when two bountiful cotton crops can be raised in a season, and when even the hill sides flanking the coast are covered with verdure. The enriched soil retains sufficient moisture from these freshets to yield abund antly for three or fonr years. Then follow years of scarceness, when cotton fails and all other crops are light and unsatisfactory The last rainy season occurred in 1884. Three cotton crops have failed in succession, and until the exhausted soil is enriched by inundation, there can be no hope of im provement The planters in the valleys are aniiously looking tor the seventh year's flood this seasou, although it is onlv the sixth year since the last rainy Month. Pharaoh's dreams would never lack an in terpreter in Payta. In the Piura district, adjacent to this dreary port, valuable discoveries of petrol eum were made in 1865 by Mr. Larfcin, an American. Unsystematic attempts to de velop these oil fields followed, and finally another American, Herbert W. 0. Tweddle, obtained control of the property and sought tn enlist the aid of New York capitalists' in developing it They listened calmly to his account ol the surface indications" of the district, but declined to support him with the capital required for securing the control of the oil trade of the west coast He then went to London and formed a syndicate. He is now supported by English capital, is sinking well after well, and is confident that the Piura oil fields are of sufficient extent to supply the whole west coast .Here is a great industry, established by an American with English money, which, if.it fulfils ex pectations, will deprive the United States of a large export trade on (his coast American capitalists were unwilling to take take the risk of making a foreign in vestment .Foreign investors are constantly looking out for such opportunities, and the money needed for various enterprises in South America is always supplied by them where there is a reasonable chance o! ob taining remunerative returns. This is one of the potent causes of English commercial ascendency in these countries. American capital remains ont; English money goes In. THE GUAIf O SUPPLT. The two Lobos islands, from which vast quantities of guano have been taken by Peru and Chili, lie off the desert coast of Payta. These deposits have exceeded 50 feetin thick ness, and have been near the surface so as to be easily worked. The guano birds, cull. terns and other species, are constantly seen flying in great flocks along the coast and swooping down upon fish of the Pacific. The shores of Callao Bay are frequented by a large and handsome scavenger bird the black pelican. At the Island of San Loren zo, in the same harbor, and at other anchor ages along the coast, are seen sea lions in great numbers. All these waters swarm with fish of a superior quality for the table. In no other quarter of South America can more de licious fish be served to tempt appetites jaded with the constant meat eating which for some occult reason is considered essential to health in this part of the world. This is one of nature's compensations for withdraw ing rain from this coast and drying np the springs of vegetation. Another and even more striking compen sation is found in the climate, which, if, not uniform in dryness, is invariably cooler than that of corresponding latitude on the Atlantic seaboard. The Humboldt current. while carrying the winds steadily with it, and, thereby preventing rainstorms from blowing inshore, materially lowers the tem perature of the'west coast in summer with out reducing it in winter below the limits of heat on the opposite seaboard. The mid summer lines of equal heat traverse the con tinent in northerly and southerly ranges. Here at Payta, only 6 from the equator, the heat in January is not greater than it is in Buenos Ayres and Montevideo, 30 nearer the South Pole. From Guavaquil on the very EDGE OP THE EQUATOR, " The isothermal line on Professor Ball's chart runs through the heart of Brazil to Kjo, just above the Tropic of Capricorn'. Lima is not warmer in its hottest season than Buenos Ayres; nor Arica, Iquique and Coquimbo than the northern half ot Pata gonia. The Humboldt current lowers the temperature of the west coast, and in north ern Peru keeps it on a level with that of Uruguay, from 25 to 30 degrees further south. At the same time the west coast is not exposed to a corresponding tall of tem perature in July as compared with the At- l ,: i rni : 2-ii . i muiiu uuasua xue winter isomerics cross me continent on the parallels of latitude below the tropic. Above it the lines of equal heat diverge northward from the Atlantic.'Litna and Santos having the same temperature in Jaly. At Payta the mean heat of the year corresponds to that of Southern-Brazil' There are similar reductions oi temperature all along the coast of Peru. The Humboldt current exerts a moderating influence upon the temperature, while those clond-capped condensers, the Andes, squeeze the moisture oat of the air and keep it dry. No sea voyage can be more delightful than the run from Valparaiso to Panama. The heat is never unpleasantly felt at any season of the year, even when the equator is approached. A fresh breeze is always blow ing, and the sea is smooth as a nullpond, except in the unprotected roadsteads, where there is a strong swell. For a few nights after one leaves Valparaiso AN OVERCOAT IS NEEDED in the evenings; and even at the equator, with a vertical sun at this season of the year, the days are delightfully cool, and the nights not oppressive. The steamers are admirably managed, cooking and service are excellent, and everything is done to promote the comfort of travelers. A voy age from Valparaiso to Panama on a steamer like the Coquimbo is an experience altogether enjoyable, and one. not to be speedily forgotten. A hundred miles north of the desert levels of Pyta the rainless zone comes abruptly to an end. At Tumbez there is a sudden transition from sandy, barren and bare cliffs to heavy wooded shores and the fresh est and rankest vegetation. At the Gulf ot Guayaquil the rainless coast is no longer seen. A rainy zone is entered, with vistas of equatorial woods and luxuriant foliage. The scientific reasons advanced in explana tion of this sndden change are more numer ous than satisfactory. Many of the theories based upon prevailing winds and ocean cur rents are flatly contradicted by the log books of experienced sea captains naviga ting these waters. It wonld be difficult to find a more interesting field for physical in vestigation than the west coast of South America, with its 2,000 miles of barren cliffs and its sadden and amazing contrasts of vegetation in the Gulf of Guayaquil.
