Ono day Solomon and a fool were
walking together.
"Solomon," said tho fool, "why is it
you never talk?"
"Fool," said Solomon, "that I may
listen, to other people's wisdom."
And then after a pause, "But why
Is it you always talk?"
"That other people, I suppose,"
quoth the fool, "may listen to my wis

and went homo thoughtfully.

IHNK of a continuous, thrilling, tor
rlfylng swoop of 100 miles In a
hand enr from tho top of a snow
clad mountain, over three miles
high, to tho shore of a tropical
sea! Such an experience causes
one years afterwards, merely upon
thinking about it, to catch one's
hrcath nnd ono's heart to miss a
beat or two, writes Jalnes (iordnn
Stuse, U. S. A in tho Pan-American Union
Hut It Is impossible, do I henr you say? Just
a moment, while 1 quote you n fow, a very fow,
facts and llgures. Tho Oroya railway (El For
rocarrll Central dot Peru) Is a monument to the
genius or Henry Melggs, nn Amcrlcnn, or, rather,
I should say, a Unltod-Stateaof-North-Amorican,
for in tho southern hemlsphcro tho term "Ameri
cano" is not very definite and wo usually llnd
ourselves Indexed under "N" to distinguish us
from the United States of Colombia, United Mex
ican States, etc. Callao. thu Pacific terminus of
tho Oroya railway, und one of tho principal ports
of Peru, Is six days by boat south of Panama.
Lima, tho "City of Kings," Peru's capital, Is
six miles from Callao. and Is located on n broad
tableland about llvo hundred feet nbovo the sen.
Tho opening of tho Panama canal will undoubt
edly stimulate travel to South America, and of
all parts of the continent Peru Is wonderfully
rich In natural wonders am. historical back
ground. The Oroya railway was begun in 1SCS. Hogln
nlng at Callao It climbs steadily to an elevation
of 15,003 feet abovo sea level, where tho divide
is crossed through tbe Oalcra tunnol, at mllo
100. Tho Morococha branch rises to olovatlon
15,805 tho highest point reached by any railroad
In tho world. At Oroya, mllo 138, tho road di
vides, ono branch going north to tho famous
Cerro do Pasco copper mines, tho other 80 miles
south to Huancayo, with a projected extension
to Cuzco, tho old Inca capital, which has had
rail connection with tho sea at Mollendo for sov
oral years, Another branch, about three hundred
miles long, Is under construction down tho east
ern slope of tho Andes to the head of navigation
on tho Ucayall river, ono of tho Important upper
tributaries of the Amazon.
Tho Oroyn road Is not only tho highest In tho
world, but there is no other which lifts its breath
less passengers to any -tich altitudo in huch an
appallingly short dlstnnco. To climb as tho
Oroya climbs, a Hudson river train leaving New
York city would havo to ascend half an hour be
foro It reached Albany, a dlstanco J, 000 feet
greater that that from sea level $o tho summit
of Pikes Ponk. Tho dally passonger train leaves
Callao In the forenoon and reaches Oroya lato in
the afternoon. As there aro no night trains on
account of tho great danger or rocks falling down
in tho track, tho round trip ordinarily requires
two days. SInco thero la a continuous down
grade from tho Galora tunnel to tho soa, an op
portunity Is offerod for tho moat unique hand
car rldo In the world.
Through tho courtesy of tho gonoral manager
of tho lino wo wero afTorded exceptional facilities
for making the trip. His prlvato car was at
tached to tho evening train fo' Choslca, a fash
lonablo resort about thlrty-llvo miles out of Lima,
at an elevation of about two thousand eight hun
dred feet. For an hour or so we vound through
n wldo Irrigated valloy, fat and prosperous look
ing, with plantations of sugar cano nnd cotton
fenced in by mud walls, the roofs of .. hacienda
showing now and then over tho green. Hoyond
that tho haro brown mountains high enough, It
seemed, yet rjeally no moro than foothills shut
in and shouldered upward tier on tier behind
each other, yellow and terra cotta and tawny
brown, occasionally Hashing through a silt in
their flanks tho Miowy shoulders of peaks miles
and miles away, to which wo woro to climb. At
Choslca our car was sidetracked for thu night,
dinner was Eorved aboard, and wo turned In to
bo ready for an early start tho next morning.
About a. m wo wore awakened by our ear
being picked up by tho morning freight, whoso
schediilo had been advanced soveral hours for
our special benefit. Tho real climb now bogun.

Tho broad valley soon narrowed, tho linked rocks
closed In, nnd wo wero fairly in tho ennyon of
tho UIo Hlmiic. Twolvo miles out of Choslca an
clevntlon of 0,000 feet was reached at San liar
tolomo. Hero Is tho first switchback, Melggs'
original device, which ennbles a train to zigzag
up tho face of a canyon wall without resorting
to abnormally heavy grades and rack and cog
systems.
At Mntucana, 7,700 feet abovo tho sea, tho hand
car, which was to bo our means of descending,
was trailed on behind. Our Indlnn cook now
brought in coffee, prepared in tho Peruvlnn stylo,
which was very acceptable, hb tho air was qulto
chill. Then tho climb continued over spider-web
bridges, moro switchbacks, and numerous tun
nels, tho tunnels of tho Inflcrnlllo (Llttlo Hell)
opening at cither end of a bridge spanning a
chnsm over ono thousand feet deep. As tho train
wound nnd creaked along tho forehead of tho
mountain ono could look down on tho roofs of
villages miles below, nnt people and ant donkey
trains, and tho multitudinous little fields fenced
In with thick mud wnlls, which mado tho valloy
lloor a gigantic wafllo iron. Abovo thorn, on a
lovel with ono's eyes, nnd up and up, seemingly
to tho very top of some of tho mountains, wore
the old terraced fields of tho ancient Incas, grass
grown now with the turf of centuries. Tho old
terraces aro mostly In disuse now, but tho floldB
and graves of tho lower levels still uso sotno of
the old Irrigation troughs. Thoy wore cut In tho
rocks by n pcoplo who know neither cement nor
iron pipe, but thoy follow tho contours as
though plotted with a. transit. Somotlmcs, aB tho
cars creep along a canyon wnll half way to tho
top, ono can follow tho silvery ribbon of water
for miles along tho face of tho yellow rock.
Moro bridges, moro switchbacks, and ovor tho
air grows clearer and thinner and colder. Tho
Holds nnd gardens nro gono now, the bleak table
land country nppears, and pcoplo whoso hearts
or nerves aro bothersomo would begin to havo
sorocho. Uelow crawled burros and llama trains
carrying silver nnd coppor ore. At Casapalca,
13,000 feet, Is tho big smoker of thin neighbor
hood. Hero was a mud corral full of llamas,
thoso absurd-looking animals, seomlngly n cross
botweon u sheep, a camel, nnd an ostrich, which
vlowcd the noisy Industry with their looks of
timorous disdain.
Fourteen thousand tho chlmnoys of Cnsnpalca'u
smelters wero pins stii"k in tho carpet of tho
valloy miles below 15,000000 more, nnd tho
train climbed up and over, and rested on the
top of tho cold, wind-swept, Andean roof. All
about woio peaks and blankets of snow. Ono
rose palnstnklilgly and "nlked with euro. Plfteou
thousand feet is n good bit of a Jump to tako be
foro breakfast Holilnd tho ntatlon Mount
Melggs clImbB up nnothor L'.OOO foot, whence,
through air so crystalline that ono might fancy
ono could walk to tho summit In half an hour, It
vaww tt&jumzSJXDzmzizrs
looks down on both sldcH of tho divide. To the
west Is tho long descent, to tho cast tho chilly
platenua and snow valleyB of tho Andean treasure
land.
It wns now noon, and, In splto of tho unac
customed altitudo, wo ato n hearty Peruvian
breakfast, consisting of soup, salad, several moat
courses, vegetables, wino, and fresh strawber
ries and cream. Leaving tho general manager's
car to ho brought back by tho noxt down train,
wo transferred to tho hand car and pushed off.
Tho experiences of tho next four hours aro too
kaleidoscopic for accurato or dotalled description.
Wo ntui tod amid snow and ico, bundled up in
sweaters, overcoats, nnd blankets, nnd landed
In lemon and orango groves four hours lator.
Continuously bcfoio ub unrolled a grand pano
rama, over changing nnd ovor moro wonderful.
Where bb our train had painfully 'tolled upward
foot by foot, wo now seemed to rush down a
mllo at n Bwoop. Hut two stops wero mado In
tho 100 miles, onco for n section gnng ropalrlng
track In a tunnel nnd ngaln to lot thu up-pas-songer
train by. Going at breakneck Bpoed, our
hand cur rushed out of ono black tunnel, ncross
a swaying bridge strung over tho chnsm of tho
UIo Itlmnc, and Into tho dnrkness of anothor
tunnel cut out of tho shoer face of tho cliff. An
wo careened across tho Inflernlllo bridge, ono of
our party aptly described his Impressions aB a
"Hash of daylight accompanied by a sinking of
tho heart."
In ail wo rushed through 47 tunnels, crossed
n dozen flimsy-looking bridges, and slowed down
for eight switchbacks. Tho fastest kilometer
was mado'ln CG seconds (about 40 miles per hour),
and tho fastest slnglo stretch of 27 kllometere
in 20 minutes (about 35 miles per hour). When
ono considers tho steep gradeB and tho sharp
curves necossnry to got a railroad through such
a canyon, tho fact that our light hand car, travel
ing at such a speed and controliod only by a
hand brake, stayed on tho rails, is tho best evi
dence in tho world of tho excellent construction
of tho lino nnd of tho vlgilanco of tho mainte
nance force During our tour of South America
wo had many strango and interesting cxporl
oncos, but nono for novelty, thrill, nnd mag
nlflccnco to comparo with tho hand-car coast
down tho Oroya railway.
LESSENING DELIGHT.
"I'll never forgot tho thrill that was given mo
by my first voloclpodo." said tho man of millions.
"Only oxeceded, I daro say, by tho thrill given
by your first blcycio," remarked his friend.
"Quito so. I wish I could havo got half an
much pleasuro out of my first automobile"
NOT HEROIC.
"It's no harm to danco, father. Dancing men
nro In great demand thoso days."
"What you say Is qulto true, my son, but you
dovoto too much time to It. Have you over seen
n monument that was erected to anybody simply
because ho was light on his foot?"
JUST SO.
"I'm new In the cigar business, so I'm trying
