Valparalao U a city of 150.000 peo V ple. Located seventy-five ml lea northwest It la connected by rail. It la a elty of buel mm block a, more rsmbllng a European eaport than any other on the roast. It la the capital of the province of tha same name, and the bay 'befor It la haped like a haJf moon and la large ndugh to float the vessels of tha world. Tba business section la built upon land reclaimed from the sea, and much of th residential portion la built upon terracee In tha face of the hills, which rtee from th bay like an amphitheater to a height of 1,100 to 1.700 feet. Elevators axe uaad to convey people to tha upper section of th ' city. Valparaiso does annually a business equal tba of any American city twice Its six. It Industries Include foundries, railroad and machine ahops, sugar refineries, distil leries, largo bottling works and factorlea of 'various kinds. It I th terminus for nwy ISuropean steamahlp lines. . .... .... Former Calaralltle. Valparaiso, "th Valley of Paradise," may with greater propriety be called th valley of earthquakes and calamities. In 17J0 occurred th first great recorded dls turbanc of th earth on which the city stands. The whole city was practically destroyed. In 1821 Valparaiso was again badly, shakan, though the earthquake of that year displayed Ita greatest energy 1M miles north of that . city. Th coaat was found to have risen In consequence of ' th disturbance from thre to five feet for a distance of at least thirty-five miles. In 1835 Concepclon underwent a similar ex perience. Th land in It vicinity bad been ralrea by a severe shock between four and five feet. In 1837 Valdlvla was destroyed and the coast In th neighbor hood raised from five to eight feet. How aver, It Is Caracas that Is known as "tha City of Earthquake," and It la eltuated among th mountains of on of the spurs of th Andean system. The year 1730 witnessed th first great earthquake that shook Valparaiso. Prac tically the whole town was destroyed In this convulsion, and only after many years of slow progress did It recover. In IStf a second earthquake came to shake down what had been rebuilt. In this catastrophe many lost their lives. A great fire swept th city In 1843, deatroylng 11,000.000 worth f property. Hardly had th fortune of th community begun to mend when a second lire licked up five times aa much wealth as had the first. This was In ISM. When th Spanish made the last futll attempt to destroy the republic . ot Chile, in 1SS0. they sent a fleet into the harbor of Valparaiso, and the town was merci lessly bombarded. What with th dam agea wrought with th shells and th fir that followed $10,000,000 was th loss counted up. The last great disaster pre ceding th one which the Chilean' city has ' Just suffered came In 1888, when a large dam baok of th city burst and a portion of th business district was washed away, with great loss ot life. . A View ot th City. Travelers say that the first sight of th city of Valparaiso confirms th belief In th fitness of th baptismal nam conferred upon It by the old Spanish voyager. After passing through a sea gat Very much Ilk ' th on that gives entrance to th bay, of Ban Francisco, a pasaenger on an Incom ing steamer sees the city, unless It has again been wiped out, piled up in terraces of sun-browned buildings upon the steep hills that rise almost Immediately from th water front, Th city proper takes on roughly th form of an amphitheater, the circling ridge ot hills upon which It Is built to la minating In- two horns of rock at cither boundary of th bay. On nearer view th extensive artificial embankment, or male con, that follows the shore nearly Its whole distance along th city front, seems to form a restraining wall that keepa the heaped up city from slipping into th bay.' . ...... v - .' I Alone the Water Front. Th port district Is that which lies below th cerros and along the water front. The custom houses along the embankment are the first buildings to be passed- by a passenger coming In from th aea. They are handsome and commodious structures, thoroughly equipped with hydraulic ma chinery tor the lifting ot goods front' ship's holds. On the water front, too, are two floating docks, capable of accommodating shlpa of 4.000 tons burden. In the center of the port district standa the Plata Sotomayor, the downtown park of the city. A monument to the heroes of the last Peruvian war, surmounted by a Statue of the Chilean general, Arturo Prat, stands In ths center of the square. At Uttl distance are the tribunals of Justice, massive buildings constructed on the char acteristic architectural . lines of Latin America. Near this pltaa Is th fin marine gov ernment house, overlooking the Malecon paeso, a broad, esplanade along th em bankment, which la the favorite promenad ing place for th Valparaiso folk on long ' summer evenings. During th summer sea son a military band holda forth on tba Malecon every night, and the procession of carriages bearings veiled senorltas and punctilious grandees winds round and round th musto stand in formal line of tat.

The portion of th city on either side of the avenue, popularly known as ths Atmendral district, contains th finest mansion of the wealthy people, th thea ters and th cathedrals. On feast day and Sundsys the beautiful Victoria plasa, located In the center of the Almendral, Is always thronged with promensders. Th fine residence of Benora Juarva Rosa da Edwards, on of th philanthropic women of Valparalao, overlooks this plasa on th right. Her also are located th, Victoria thea ter and th church of Esplrltu Santo. Near the Bella Vista railroad station, at th end of th Almendral, stood the old cathe dral D la Mcroed, the parochial church of th Twelve Apostles, the Odeon theater and th Museum of Natural History. Th cerros, or cliffs behind th lower city, made accessible by the Inclined rail roads, had lately been made the site of many beautiful residences and summsr villas. Ths Cerro Conception and Cerro Alegr wer particularly th chosen spots of ths elite. Vina del Mar, a suburb five miles from. Valparaiso, was fhe Trouvllle of all Chile. Situated In the midst of th mountains In a natural garden spot, this little town was made th gathering place for all the elect of Chilean society every snmmer. Her the legation people from Santiago mad their summer homes, and here the wealthy folk of Valparaiso cam to take th wat ers, attend the races and pass away th summer with promenade concert, dance and gaming. I Crsiee'i Island Destreyea On report from tho stricken region la that the historic Island of Juan Fernandas, better known aa "Robinson Crusoe's Island," was destroyed by the earthquake. Juan Fernandes Is, or waa, 400 mile off the Chilean coast. Th Island belonged Chile. But once Alexander Selkirk, a Scotch seaman was Its sol Inhabitant. It was Alexander Selkirk' story that formed th basis of D Fo's Immortal romance, "Robinson Crusoe." De Foe, a everybody knows, picked up th Island of Juan Fernando, carried It across th Andes and plunked it down Into th Caribbean sea, oft th coaat of Guinea, But Selkirk lived on th Island just whtrt It waa when last Thursday's earthquake found It. It was In 1704 that Alexander Selkirk, th Scotch seaman, was cast away her and re mained four year before he was picked up by a British ship and taken back to his own country. Many are tho experience which the Island has undergone since then. In th early part of thla century it was used for a time as a convict settlement and In the walls of the cliff are to be found hundred of dungeon 'hewn by th prisoner themselves In th heart of th rock. But th distance from th mainland, as well as tha difficulty of keeping th gar rison provisioned and recruited, led to sev eral outbreaks oT the prisoners, In whloh they massacred the warden and troops. Th Chilean government decided to aban don Juan Fernandes as a convict settle ment.' It waa not until 1871 that th Island was again Inhabited. Then It waa leased for a term of year by a Swiss partriclan named Baron von Rodt. He bad served in th Recent Progress Made in Tlephon Company Franchises. IN response to th request of th new board ot estimate for an offer of terms for a continuance of th present telephone fran chises, without competition, th New Tork and New Jersey telephone com panies replied In substance as follows: The companies ar willing to agree with the elty that, so Ions; a no other public telaphon system Is established In the city, and no other telephone franchises are granted, they will: FirstJointly pay to th city annually th sums following, which will be charged as a part of their operating expenses: In first five years, 1116.000; second five years, $122,000; third flv years, 8134.000; fourth flv years, $152,000; fifth five years, $16,000; each year thereafter, 8200,000. Second Furnish telephone facilities and service within th city for official use at 60 per cent reduction from schedule rates. Third File with th city comptroller an nually a verified report, audited and cer tified, ht desired, by publio accountants, showing total investment, gross earnings, expenses and net earnings. Fourth Adjust their rates from time to time to limit their net earnings to approxi mately 10 per cent on th actual Investment of capital, after caring for depreciation. The companies decline to give up their franchises and make new applications, ar guing that the system they have built up Is greatly to the advantage ot th city and Its residents. The offer of th Atlantic Telephone com pany, which applied for a franchise to op erate with a long . dlstanc connection through Philadelphia, was to glv free service to the city equal to that for which the city Is now paying $275,000 a year,. to provide house 'phone service for $12 per year for 400 messages, and to glv a sintfl message service at 6 cents within any bor ough and 10 cents for Interborough calls, with a minimum rat of $ cents a call for wholeaal user of th system. Present ttata of Wireless. A review of "Telegraphy, Telephony and Wireless Telegraphy In 1805" Is contributed to La Nature by Luolen Fournler, who dlamltses th first two subject with a few words and devotea himself chiefly to th last. His review leaves th reader - with the Impression that th technic of wireless I not advancing greatly, although th field of Its application Is extending widely. Bays Mr. Fournler: "Bine 1901 th Improvement In th new mode ot communication have to do only with th apparatus, and th Inconvenience of thla have been only slightly lessened. Arco has discovered that for th indirect' Is to love children, and no home can be completely happy without them, yet the ordeal through which the ex pectant mother must pass usually is so full of suffering, danger and fear that she looks forward to the critical hour with apprehension and dread. Mai Shaken Austrian cavalry and received wounds that disabled him for army life. Converting: hi fortune Into mony, he left Europe and went to Valparaiso. Having a hermit's dis position, he established himself on the re mot Island of Jo (in Fernandas. Finding th lobster . and other kinds of fisheries could be made profitable he leased th Island from the Chilean government and conducted thla Industry, as well as fruit raising, on a large and profitable acale. The war with Peru at length occurred and his business was broken np. Von Rodt returned to Europe, but found himself so little adapted for civilised lit after hi Island experience, and so home sick for hi ocean home, that he set sail again for Juan Fernandes, this time taking with him a bride to share his lot There on th green tropical shore, th most Im posing of th dosen villas, was his horn for many year.

When th number of windings of the primary and eaondary clrculta of th Tesla trans former Is large relative to the wave length, th connection Is said to be 'close'; when this number is small. It U called 'loose.' In any cat. Indirect excitation causes two different waves, superposed In the antenna. ..... The energy utilized to put the antenna In vibration need not be so pow erful wheft the connection Is loose. In different cases either a close or loose con nection may be used, but generally an average Is struck between th two. The as of great energy to produce Hertzian wave produces a result that Is alwsys comparatively feeble. On the other hand, the attempt to steer the waves made by Artone In Italy have given no practical' reault. Along these lines ther has been practically no progress at all. Th us of detectors enabling th operator to read by sound has become general. , . . Th detector most employed Is the electrolytic detector whose principle was announced In 1800 by Captain Ferrle. ... If a tiny platinum point (0.01 millimetre in diameter) be plunged Into acidulated water. It con stitute an Imperfect contact of great sen sitiveness to Hertzian waves. . . . Th Marconi company always uses th mag netic detector Invented by Marconi In 1801, which gives excellent results." Ths applications of wireless telegraphy are continually extending. All warships and largi liners hav th apparatus; and new stations on land, especially in Eu rope, ar continually being erected. The necessity for International regulation be comes mors and more apparent, but th conference on the subject, which met for the firt time In Berlin In 1808, ha not reconvened owing to th opposition of England and Italy, which countries, th writer charges, deslr a Marconi monopoly. He conclude: "I wireless telegraphy destined to remain eternally fettered by th Imperfection that now limit It service to a considerable degree? W ar unwilling to believe thla. Thre great probleme re main to be solved before It Is freed and de veloped to Its furthest extent the 'steering of th wavos, th 'tuning' of transmitter to receiver, and the reform of these de vices. So long as w cannot unite Into a sheaf th Hertzian waves that aro now d!s peraed In all directions, so long as an Inter mediate station can Intercept message not Intended for It, and finally, so long as a special apparatus has not been devised to receive and transmit these signals, wire less telegraphy will remain Imperfect. Tele communication asks much from ths year 1004."

From it w could sea th whol town of Nasareth. th wbol country from th Mediterranean to th mountain beyond Jordan and the ea of , Galilee and from Mount Hermon far north to th mountains c f Samaria. Doubtless Jesus, who was so fond of th mountains, had often climbed to th top of thla high hill and looked over this wonderful country as H studied and meditated upon th works of th prophet and other holy men of Hi nation. Having used up th whole day till th sun went down, we returned to our hotel, wher w spent th night. To m Nasareth ia In many respects the most beautiful and at tractive spot In all Parestlne. W4 started out eariy net morning passed Cana, whr Christ performed His first miracle, within good view of Mount Tabor; close by the Mount Of Beatitude and then down a very steep hill to tha town of Tiberias, th chief city now on th lake of Galilee. After lunch because my partner was not well. I took a trip in company with a Scotch engineer over the lake to tho supposed sit of Caper naeum. Th wind blew so hard and th wave wer so rough that our sail boat dipped water several times. We moved along like an express train, and reached Capernaeum In a very short Urns. Caper naeum is In almost total ruins. The wall denned ruins of th synagogue built of clear whit stone, seem to b th only ruin that hav been preserved and can be plainly seen. Thla la th supposed place wher Jesus preached His great sermon, John vl:HG9.

Started early next morning on our return for Nasareth. On tha way I left th carriage In th road and went up on top of th Mount of Beatitude. Ther la no road or path, and th trip was a rsry difficult one. From its top I had a splen did view. I could se th alt of Caper? naeum on the lake of Galilee. It waa on this mount that Jesus is supposed to hav delivered Hi inimitable and comprehensive "Sermon on the Mount." Matthew, chap ter v, vl and vll. I stopped at Caaa in th chapel supposed to contain th home of Nathaniel and In another chapel, in which were some ancient atone pots, said to be of those which held th water that Jtsus turned Into wins.

All the way ths roads, or rather pth were rough and stoney, and In many place very teep. The mount la 1.600 feet abov th plain which surrounds it I enjoyed th whol ' trip, especially when I was going Ig-tag rout up the mount proper, to the top. Although I walked much of th way, I wa not a particle tired. Th prospect In every direction wa beyond expression. I could very plainly Mount Hermon in th north. I visited som old ruins on th top of th mount, said to hav been built by the Crusaders. I bad a visit with a fin family.

Win waa th first thing offered to m when I arrived at th monastery, snd was offered to m re peatedly at my meals. The bed was good, but the meala I did not relish. The drink ing water was also good. They charged me 7 francs for lodging, supper and break fast. I returned to Nssareth by th aam rout I went to the Mount. My companion and I started on our re turn trip to Haifa, where we arrived at 4: p. m. Nest morning we went to the top of Mount Carmtl. W did not have time to visit th place on Mount Carmel wher Elijah demonstrated that Israel' God waa the true God before the priest of Baal. We could see the place, however, on our trip to Nasareth, high up on the southeast snd of the mountain. We visited a larga Catholic institution and took a look over the Mediterranean sea and down southward along the coast to Csesarea from the lofty lighthouse. Returned to th hotel and soon boarded our ateamer to Beirut, Syria, wher w arrived May 9, 1908. In my Galilean trip ther waa no opportunity for me to meet any organised evangelical Christian work. I tried to da what I could personally. My traveling companion, a German, for a long time officially connected with th Chlness government, and the Scotch civil engineer, both heartily expressed their appreciation of my helpfulness to them In a clearer knowledge of Christian living and a more determined purpose to Irve such a life. I might add that the archbishop or pa triarch of th Armenian church, realdlng at Jerusalem, gave Mr. Bryan's family and myself a very cordial reception. He Is over to years cf age.
