RAILROADING IN THE ANDES Exciting Trip on a Handcar from Votmtaii Top to the Pacific , * ENGINEERING WONDERS OF THE UN Built Orvr anil Through Hlittilr Sleep at Great Cant of Life and Treas ure Tribute to Amerl- cnn Skill. ( Copyright , 1SOS , by Frank O. Carpenter. ) LIMA , Peru , April 16. ( Special Corrc pondcnce of The Bee. ) Down the Andes o : a hand car. > Coasting over the steepest railroad "of th world. . Dashing through clouds to flnd.Clouda be low you. Hanging to precipices , flying on bridge over frightful chasms , whirling libou curves now In the midnight darkness o winding tunnels and now where the'llgh of day makes you shudder at the depths be low you. , < - This will give you a faint Idea pf In Inst part of a trip from which I have Jus returned. During It I have ascend-1 ! to thi very top of the mountains and have comi bnck again to thin point , which Is Just si : miles from the sea. My trip was over th famous Oroya railroad , the most wondcrfu piece of railroad engineering ever con etructcd or planned. The road Is all toll only 138 miles long , but It climbs up thi stcepcBt mountains of the globe. In les than 100 miles It ascends more than thrc miles and at Its highest point It Is ItGO ) feet above where It starts at the port o Cnllno , on the Pacific ocean. At the to ; it Is Btlll 2,000 feet below the summit o Mount Mclggs. It cuts right through thi peak by a tunnel which carries It to th other side of the Andes. It then descend to the valley of the Jauja , through the rid silver mining region of Ynull , and flimll ; ends at Oroya , an Indian mnrkct town 12,17 feet above the sea. It Is one of the mos expensive roads ever built. It was dear ti both money and men. Seven thousand live were , It Is said , lost during Its constructloi and the first eighty-six miles of It cost $27 , 000,000 or over $300,000 per mile. Bctwcci the coast and the summit there Is not ni Inch of down grade and the speed of on hand car In my Journey over It was enl ; regulated by the pressure on the brake li the hands of the Indian who acted as con ductor. On many parts of the road tb grade Is over 4 per cent and at such grade the track winds about and up the Andes passing through cuts In the solid rock am through sixty-three tunnels , some of whlcl arc of the shape of a letter S. It Is of th standard gauge , Its track Is well laid am Is In excellent condition. Unlit b > - nn American. The road was built by an American though It was suggested by n Peruvian. Th man who constructed It was Henry Melggs Molgg * laid out the road , acted as Its engl noer-ln-chlef , raised the money to build It and , In fact. Is entitled to all the credit o Its construction. The road was original ! ; Intended to reach the Cerro do Pasco sllvc mines , but the $27,000,000 gave out whci about eighty-six miles were built , am the extension Is still some forty odi miles away from these famou mountains of copper and silver. The portloi of the road above where Melggs left off wa constructed by the Peruvian corporatloi under what Is known as tha Grace contract Thfl ultimata Intention Is to extend 1 farther on Into the Perene , n rich coffee raising district , and to the head of the stcan navigation of the Amazon at Cbanchacayo The preliminary surveys for this have al ready been made. The total distance fron the sea to the navigable Amazon Is , I an told , not more than 210 miles , but ther Is at present no sign of the road being sooi completed. It Is doubtful whether the rail road nowjmys much more than Its operatlni expenses , and It will bo long before It wll Blvo dividends In proportion to its cnor mous cost. Only two passenger trains ar run over It a week , and the chief frelgh down the mountains is ore. Cllinlilntr the Anile * . The usual trip over this road Is taken 01 the regular passenger train , which carrle the traveler up the mountains one day nn > brings him back the next. Through th kindness of the Influential American flrnl o Grace & Co. , I was taken up on a lltt ! engine and had my rldo down on the han < car. I thus had a wonderful opportunity fo studying both the railroad construction nn the mighty mountains up which It climbs Our special engine was called "La Favorlta. It was composed of the engine proper and cab walled with glass and fitted up wit ! comfortable seats. This observation com partment was a part of the engine Itsell taking the place that the ordinary engln uses for coal. Our little engine burned con oil , und it was Peruvian petroleum tha pulled us up the Andes. The party con slated of the American minister , Mr. Dudley the secretary of our legation , Mr. Neal ; Mi Sherman , the manager of the house of Grac at > Lima ; a Frenchman named Piper , an Mr. Plqrson , an electric street railroad ma from Ohio , who Is out here to see whethe the Lima tramways are worth buying. Th engineer and his helper were Peruvians.V left at 7 In the morning and spent the whol day on the road , stopping to take photo graphs at the most Interesting points , an going on as fast or as slow as we wlshei Lima , you know , la situated In the vallc of the Rlraac river. It Is right at the foe of the Andes , and our trip was up tne tnoun tains along the course of this river to II very source on the summit. At Lima th Rlmac is what in America would be callc WHY WOMEN DRES ! Pinery for Other Women Looks for Hen. A < MIX rURTl OF- ENVY AND AH MIRA.TIO.V It Is ad that a woman dresses for tl nvy of other women nnd that she nrrnngi her hair and cares for her complexion f < the admiration of men The first ttnt tnont may be open to argument , but thei can be no doubt but what her charms fro < the waist up are designed by nature at herself to attract the men Her con plexloii U woman's chief care , and yet ho futile are her efforts In mo > n cases.

The real fact Is that fe women are exempt from more or live won troubles Baino are painfully aide yei after year , and their ability to wlthstai the palnu ot each monthy sickness or falili of the womb , or leucorrhoea or any of h other numerous afflictions is to be wonde cd at.

It la nowhere natlgable and l , In fact < a itrwira of foaming white water from the top of the Andes to the aoa. The descent Is so steep that quiet pools arc nowtiere to to found , and the rlrer Is a suc cession of waterfalls , foaming churns and rushing rapids. During the ride we could often see the river above and below ua at the same time , and we went up , up , climb- Ins ; the sides of the mountains , cheered on our way by the rushing ot the waters , Among the flnicnr Cane nnd Cotton. We first passed through the sugar and cotton plantations which fill the valley above Lima. The Oclds look llko gardens gotten up fur show. They are surrounded by mud walls and the crops are as green as these of the United States In June. Now we pasa sugar hacienda , In which on one side ot the track two steam engines are pulling a cable plow through the field , while on the other side men are plowing with oxen and wooden plows , urging the beasts onward with goads fifteen feet long. In the cotton * fields ; angs of Indian workmen are working under overseers on horseback. The cotton plants are In blossom and the fields look like vast gardens of pink and yellow roses. The men weed the plants and they arc as clean as atiy rose garden at home. There Is a cotton mill , nnd farther on wo pass a sugar fac tory which grinds out thousands of pounds of sugar n day. There Is' no better sugar and anywhere than this andwe learn In passing that It produces from two to six ons of sugar per acre and after once started will keep on producing for as long as six years. We notice that all of the land Is used. The water Is taken from the Rlrnac and nothing grows without Irrigation. In the AnilcM. Now wo arc In the foot hills of the Andes. ! Iow bleak and bare and gray they look In he early morning. There Is not a green spot anywhere to be seen on these vast walls , which hero face the sea. We shall Ind It different as we rise to the mountains behind. Hero they arc of soft silver gray velvet where the sun casts Its shadows and ot dazzling white where It strikes full In heir faces. The only green Is the little strip along the nimac. Further on we notice a hln fuz of green cropping out of the gray , t Is as though the velvet was sprinkled with a dust of ground emeralds. Here there Is a title cactus and thcro a small bunch of weeds. As we rise higher the mountains ; row greener until at the level of Mount Washington wo find them covered with n hln coat of vegetation. As wo near the nl- : ltude of Leadvlllo there Is plenty of grass and at ono point we count forty different clnds of flowers at a stopping of our engine. There arc buttercups without number , silver ray mosses and flowers of nil colors , the names of which I do not know. As I re mark upon the vegetation , saying that It Is still very scanty , Mr. Sherman tells me that the fact that there Is any green at all to be seen Is duo to the rainy season , and that nt other times of the year this whole western side ot the Andes Is bleak , dry and almost absolutely sterile. The foothills which , in 'act ' , are mountains In themselves , looked as though they were of dirt and gravel. Further up you como Into a region of ocks , where only bits of soil are to be seen lore and there. In such places every Inch of ground Is cultivated. The mountains arc terraced clear to tltclr tops , and some of hem are covered with steps of green built up with rocks , and so graduated that a man can stand on one of the lower steps or edges and plant the seed or weed the crops of the next ledge without stooping over. Some of the fields are not as-big as a bed spread , and some on the opposite side of the mountain do not look as big'as a pocket handkerchief. Some patches of corn seem almost inaccessible and remind me ot the 'armcrs ' ot West Virginia , who are said to mvo to plant their crops with a ride , as thoU U are EO steep that they are unable to stand long enough on tbo sides to drop the corn In the rows. Wo see Indians planting nnd working In the flelda"and pass numerous Ittle villages of one-story houses made of sun-dried bricks , and roofed with thatch or sheets ot corrugated Iron. In most cases the ron plates are not nailed to the huts. They are merely laid on the rafters and kept there iy covering them with stones. Many of the houses are not larger than dog kennels and quite as squalid as an American pigsty , and heir Inhabitants , who gather around us at the stations , are of the peon variety , dark- 'accd Indian men , women and children. I tightened some of the children very much jy posing them for my camera. They had evidently never heard of photographs , and one little fellow howled like a Cherokee In dian when I pointed the Instrument at him. Cathedral * of the Audew. I have been over every scenic route In the United States. I have traveled over the rail roads-of Mexico , and have visited these parts of Europe which the world calls grand. I have climbed the Himalayas and have watched the sun set on the mountains ot north China , but nowhere have I Been any thing like the scenery of the Andes. I will not say that It Is more beautiful or more Impressive than the Alps , the Rockies or the Hamalayas , but It surpasses them In some respects , and Its wonders are Us own. Hero the mountains rise almost abruptly upward. You ride for miles between walls of rock , which klsa the sky thousands of feet above you. Some ot the rocks take the shapes of gigantic cathedrals , very temples of the gods , their spires hidden In the clouds. Others look like vast fortifications , walls of rock to shut the nations of the west away from the riches of this great conti nent. There are 'no pretty hits of scenery such as you see In other mountains. Here all Is on the grandest and most terrible scale. In our rldo we climb along the sides of these walls. Now we pierce them by a tunnel high up in the air , and higher still sea another tunnel which we shall reach later on. We cross gorges In going from ono tunnel Into another over an Iron network of a bridge which looks awtully frail as the Favorlta passes over it. We pierce a wall of rock , where a river has been turned aside that It may not Interfere with the road , and by a winding tunnel dash out into what is called "The Infernlllo" or hell. It la a slen der Iron bridge two miles above the sea , high up between walls of rock. Far down below - low you see waters rushing , and out of the wall wo have left a great torrent of foamIng - Ing water plunges. Before us , at the other end of the bridge , there la another wall of rock , in' which there Is a black bole pierced by the track , and as we look upward be tween these walls we see as through a nar row el It the blue sky ot heaven above this Andean hell. There are a number of these' hanging bridgca on the route. We stopped at the Veruguaa bridge , which spans a cbt.sm B80 feet long hanging to tunnels 300 feet above the Veruguas river. This bridge was awepl away some time ago and for months both passengers and freight were carried across on a cable , the little car hanging to the rope stretched from wall to wall across thti frightful chasm. At times we saw tunnel ! above and below us. The track goes up tti steepest places In a zlgxag route , so that alone ono time we counted five tracks running al most parallel below us. Almost the whole line was blasted out ot the mountain rocks , On many places along the line the hills an so steep that men hadto _ be lowered In ropct over the edges of the precipices to drHJ boles for the powder which blapUcT a'Vfij the ledges ( or th track , tailing rocki killed some , landslides swallowed up otheri and many died of feter. On tke Hand C r. You can Imagine something of the seusa- tlon of going down such a road on a hand car. The reality Is wilder and more ex citing than anything 700 , can conceive. Thi handcar on which I rode was of the crudes ! order. U was merely a platform five feel long and a little wider than the track , upoi four ordinary carwheels. . On the front part f tk platform a strip ot wood two Inckrt thick and about that wide was nailed , am at the back was a seat much like that on r farm wagon. The scat had a railing twc Inches high and It was just wide .enougt for three. The conductor , a brown-facrt Indian , sat In the middle , with his hand on a brake extending down through th center of the platform. Mr. Sherman an < ! I sat on the right and left , our feet braced against the strip on the bed of the car and our hands on the sides and back of th < seal , holding on for dear life aa wo rushed down the mountains. Our only means ol stopping the car was by the brake , and th < danger as wo rushed through the tunnels was not only that ot the car jumping the track in going around the curves , but alec the possibility of meeting a donkey or an Indian coming through. The rocks In tnanj places are loose , and. the danger of a land slide Is such at this time of the year that a handcar Is always sent five mlnutca ahead of the regular passenger train to sec that the road is free. LAt one time' we chased a cow for about n mile and at an other time two llamas blocked the track for n few moments. At times the road seemed to us to go down at an angle of forty-five degrees , and many of the severest grades were along the edges of the preci pices or where we seemed to be clinging to the walls ot rock. I cannot say that 1 was not afraid nor. that my heart was not often In my throat , , but I will say that the experience was such that , knowing what I now do , I would fohe the journey again to feel the same exhilarating sense of pleas ure nnd danger combined. On the Ton of the The sensation of standing on the top ol the Andes was worth having. .As we climbed up and up above CasaptHca 'tho air grow colde.r nnd rarer. Wo rode out of a heavy ralii into a dense snow Rtonrt. Soon we were In banks of snqw. Now the mist and the clouds surrounded us so that wo could not see twenty feet beyond the car. We rode through the clouds and saw the storm 'sweep down -the Andes below us. As the mist disappeared we caught a'glimpse of the country through which we had been passing and shuddered at the precipices over which we had gone , Mount Mclgg * was almost straight above us , and we stopped the cnglno a moment In front of the black mouth of the Galora tunnel on the very roof of the South American continent. Behind us all the waters were flowing Into the Pacific ocean. On the opposite side of the tunnel all of the waters find their way through the Amazon Into the Atlantic. The dividing of the waters Is , In fact , within the tunnel Itself , and yoU could.really stand at a certain point In the Gal era tunnel and spit In both oceans without taking a step to ono side or the other. I did not do this , for the interior was as dark as pitch , nnd I was too anxious to see the other side ot the Andes. We went through the tunnel nnd stopped the Favorlta at the other side among some of the grandest scenery ot the trip. The mountains nil about us were capped with snow. Over us towered Mount Melggs , 17,575 feet high , Us top a half mile above where we stood. Our altitude was more Chan three miles above the sea. We were on the highest railroad point In the world. Think ot It ! We were far above the height of the top of Fuglyama , the snow-capped mountain of Japan , far nearer the heavens than the top of Mount Blanc or any point In Europe , a thousand feet higher than Pike's Peak or any mountain In Colorado , above Ml. Whitney , nnd , In fact , far higher than any mountain In the United States outside of Alaska. ' As I looked at the grandeur about me I felt like the expressive , but not Irreverent , cow boy , who awoke one. morning In the midst of the Alps. His method of sHow-Ing his ap probation had always been by a hurrah , and when he" looked up at the snow-capped peaks rising , ope upon another , as far as his ' eye could reach' ho could contain himself no longer , and he threw his hat Into the air , and with a cowboy yell , exclaimed : "Hurrah for God. " Terror * of Soroche. This was how I felt. I actcjl far differ ently. My voice was so weak from the rarity of the air that I could not have whistled a dog. At about 10,000 feet above the sea conversation began to lag In our party. It was almost Impossible to talk to one another on the outside platform ot the Favorite , and I found myself again and again weighing * my thoughts to decide whether , they , were worth the breath It would take to utter them. All sorts of ex- ertlops ( ook triple strength to perform them. I found my boots grow suddenly heavy and I changed my step to that ot an old man. At the eastern end of * the Galcra tunnel we stopped amid banks of snow , and Mr. Sher man and myself had a snow-balling fight away up there In the clouds. It was not an exciting contest , however. Every throw sent our hearts Into our throatn and we had to stop and pant for breath. When we walked at all after this we had to go very slowly and in climbing up the hills we crawled. As the day went on the uncom fortable feeling from the extraordinary height and our quick jump from the sea to the tops ot tbo mountains Increased. We descended about 1,000 feet and stopped for the night at Caeapalca , where there is a big silver and copper smelter owned by Backus , Johnson & Co. , an enterprising firm which I shall describe In another letter treating of the mines of Peru. We were received here by the vice president of the company , Captain H. Guyer , anIdaho mining en gineer , who made us at home and put us up for the night. Before we got to the house the Frenchman and Mr. Plerson were attacked with soroche , or mountain sick ness , a disease common 'to strangers In high altitudes , and later on tbo whole of the party were more or less affected. My at tack did not come until midnight. I awoke feeling as though the top of my head was rising into the air. I had a terrible pain in the temples , cramps In my legs and at the same thno a strong inclination to vomit. I lay on my back all night to give my lungs as full play as possible and hardly slept a wink. I managed to get up at daybreak , and although there was a coat on my tongue as thick as the fur of an Alaska seal , I drank some coffee and by keeping out of doors was sufficiently recovered to take my handcar ride down th'e mountains. Mr. Sherman fared even better than I , hut Secretary Neal said that between the smell of the sulphur from the smelting furnaces and the soroche ho .thought he was In hell , and dreamed all night that an hundred devils were dancing on his chest , while Mr. Plerson looked as though he had lost all his friends and said he longed for home. Captain Guyer told us that almost every one who comes up the mountains Is sim ilarly affected , and that some fare much worse. A week or eo ago Mr. Stuart , the former United States minister to Paraguay , came up to Casapalca with .his wife. The madame fainted before she could get from the train to tbo house and was terribly sick all night. The minister got along very well till near dinner time , when he was attacked with vomiting , diarrhoea and a fainting spell and be was also sick for the night. The soroche Is common throughout the Andes , and I fear I shall have more of It before my trip is over. It usually be gins at the altitude of 12,000 feet With some it does not last more than a day 01 so anflthen passes .off. WUh others It l ver ? serious. The first symptoms are paint In the head and nauscaT Tnen'comeY ve tlgo , dimness ot sight and uea Ipgf ; fainting fits follow and bloo.d Hews Yfom the"eyes , nose and lips. Those who have weak lungi are liable to hemorrhages , and those whose hearts are weak sometimes drop dead. It ls especially hard on full-blooded and stout people and those addicted to liquor and bVgh living. Healthy , thin people of tem perate habits soon get over It , and M I an of that class , weighing , all told , not mori than 100 pounds , I expect to survive. WRANK G. CARPENTER.
